Story – Leonid is a vampire (and supposedly has been since before the time of the Devil King/Archfiend). A curse forbids him to leave his castle. He treasures the Holy Grail, that once held the blood of the Holy King/Matriarch, and may follow the one who owns it.
Special – Type 05 (Epee). Leonid is undead (cannot be healed) and must use his special techs to regain HP. When knocked out, he cannot be used in the current battle anymore but comes back to life after the battle is over. He cannot use regular magic. On the up side, thanks to his fine Dusk/Twilight Robe (unremovable equipment, weak to heat), he regains HP each turn and is immune to most status ailments.
Recruit – Get the Holy Grail and talk to Leonid with a party of 5 or fewer. Monica cannot enter the Zweig Tournament so she cannot recruit Leonid. Careful: if you equip Leonid with the Holy Grail and kick him out of your party, you won't be able to recruit him again.
Play - Leonid may be difficult to play (undead).
Goes well with Kungfu (good SPD & STR), or as Epee Tech Sparker, not really as an Epee user (poor DEX).
Very high INT: despite not being able to wield magic, can make the most of INT-factored techs (Ice Sword's Misty Ice, Final Strike, Flash Arrow).
Already undead: great affinity with Death Ring/Ring of Demise (& Death/Mortuus bow but Leonid has poor DEX).
His weakness to Heat should be compensated for by appropriate items, like Candy Ring and/or heat-resistant shields (including Devil King Shield).
His insta-death tech Gentle Touch/Caress does not prevent item drop when successful: useful when hunting for specific items.
