Leon (Final Fantasy II)


 * This article is about the Final Fantasy II character. For the character named Leon in the Kingdom Hearts series, see Squall Leonhart.

Leon is one of Firion's allies in Final Fantasy II, but he also serves as a antagonist throughout the game. At the beginning of the game he is separated from his allies, including his sister Maria, during an attack by Palamecian Knights. He later becomes the Emperor's Dark Knight, and fights against his former allies. After the Emperor is destroyed in the Whirlwind, Leon attempts to crown himself Emperor, but is forced to flee with Firion and Maria after the Emperor returns from the dead in demonic form. Leon later joins forces with Firion, Maria, and Guy to defeat the Emperor at Pandaemonium.

At the end of the game, Leon states that "too much has gone on between us" (referring to the Firion's party), and leaves. Firion comments that when he is ready to return he will be welcomed with open arms.

Leon's vocal sounds in the PlayStation remake Final Fantasy Origins was provided by Takayuki Yamaguchi.

Stats
Leon's stats are usually higher than most of your characters when the player obtains him. Leon starts off with no spells but has the potential to be a potent spellcaster and is already a deadly fighter. However, his health is very low.
