[edit] Appearance & Personality

While King Leo never talks, his personality is revealed by those around him. Citizens of Padarak reveal that his personality differs from his father and that Leo was more like his mother. Before the fall of their former homeland, Leo was never very outgoing like his father and would spend most of his time indoors. As King Leo rules over Padarak, he does not try to do everything alone and accepts help from the Citizen of Padarak, while his father would do things alone. By the end he becomes a much stronger leader than his father, showing leadership traits such as not trying to do everything alone and making sure to never run off to battle on his own.

King Leo is a very young Clavat and the shortest Clavat in his Kingdom. He has blond hair and green eyes. His default outfit is royalty type clothing, wearing a crown that belonged to his father. Citizens of Padarak mentioned that the crown he wears helped his father accomplish his journey to find the power of Architek, possibly meaning the crystals in it protected him from the miasma.
