Luis Leon

Japanese name:	レオン・ルイス
Nickname:	"Garo"

León Luis is the holder of the title of Garo the Golden Knight in Garo: The Animation. León, the son of Germán Luis, the Makai Knight known as Zoro, and Anna, a Makai Priestess, was born as his mother was burning at the stake for witchcraft. Only his mother's magic and Germán's hasty rescue and escape from the kingdom of Valiante saved him. León often has nightmares and visions about his mother's execution.

The constant traumatic visions of his mother cause León to grow up as a bitter, though mostly emotionless and deadpan young man. He is extremely disapproving of his father's womanizing ways, seeing it as an insult to his mother's memory, and will not hesitate to physically harm his father if he falls further out of line. León is quick to anger, highly distrustful of others, and largely naive about the world, making social interaction incredibly awkward at best for him. While he is indeed a kind-hearted soul, León is apathetic about his duties as a Makai Knight, merely using his abilities as a means to exact revenge for his mother's death rather than protect humankind from Horrors. He is also oblivious to the immense responsibility of being Garo and only sees the Garo armor as an heirloom of his mother.
SpoilerDuring the battle with Mendoza, León loses himself in the implanted visions of his mother's death, becoming a Lost Soul Beast[/]. The raging inferno produced by this monstrous form destroys the town of Santa Bard in moments and harms many innocent humans. After being taken down, his sword and title, as well as a now damaged Zaruba, are all confiscated from him by Alfonso, who deems León unworthy of being the Golden Knight.

Now, mentally broken with his armor and title confiscated and Mendoza dead, he is left without a purpose. He is last seen throwing himself off a cliff.
