Background

This dropdown contains the synopsis of Leo Whitefang's story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!

Background Born during the Crusades, Leo Whitefang was a gifted combatant from a young age. He joined the Sacred Order of Holy Knights to fight against the Gear threat, and during the war, he formed a lasting bond with the prodigious Ky Kiske, though Leo often saw Ky more as an "inspiration" than a friend. Despite his early arrogance, Leo eventually matured and shifted his attitude. After leading his unit to success in a pivotal battle to protect humanity’s strategic position in the Tasmanian Islands, Leo’s leadership proved invaluable. The war ended in 2175 with Justice's sealing. In the years following, Leo’s relationship with Ky became more distant, but in 2183, Leo was elected as the Second King of the United Kingdoms of Illyria, governing over the regions of Old Russia and the Middle East. Ky Kiske was soon elected as the First King. Leo also played a key role in securing an alliance with the Federation of China. Guilty Gear Xrd In 2187, Leo assumes command of the War Room in Illyria Castle while Ky departs to confront Ramlethal Valentine. Leo's leadership is tested when Ky calls for his approval in releasing Elphelt Valentine; Leo refuses, but Ky releases her anyway, leading to the capture of Ramlethal. As events unfold, Leo is involved in the response to the Cradle incident, ordering Major Lyle’s unit to stay away but ultimately facing disaster when Lyle disobeys orders. Leo later receives confirmation that the Conclave is involved and agrees to release Dr. Paradigm, overseeing preparations for a confrontation. On November 2, Leo works alongside Johnny to delay Bedman from destroying a critical beacon. Despite their efforts, the Cradle's barrier is destroyed, and Ramlethal reveals the Conclave's plan to awaken Justice using St. Elmo’s Fire. During the Opus attack, Leo assists Paradigm and Dizzy, but Elphelt’s programming activates, and she attacks Leo. After Sol manages to restore her, she and Justice are teleported away by the Universal Will. In the days that follow, Leo investigates the Conclave’s activities, meeting with Johnny and May, and later learning of Faust’s and Chronus’ involvement. He also receives intel from Vernon, questioning if Sol can be trusted, but ultimately deciding to trust him due to Ky’s faith in him. Leo’s involvement in the defense of Illyrian capital and the war effort continues, with him playing a key role in managing the War Room’s strategy. Leo's path leads him to confront Ariels, who is revealed to be the Universal Will. After learning from Ramlethal’s reports about Sol's past, Leo orders Sol to save the world and treat him as a human, not a god. Leo’s concerns about Sol’s role are expressed, but he is satisfied when Sol resolves to seal Justice to save Elphelt. Leo commands the War Room during a confrontation with Ariels, and later he oversees the battle at the Celestial Altar, where Sol and Jack-O’ Valentine’s fusion with Justice succeeds, defeating a weakened Ariels. Afterward, Leo returns to deal with the aftermath, reluctantly heading back to his jurisdiction, burdened by the mountain of paperwork accumulated in his absence. The final event sees Leo receiving confirmation of That Man’s public surrender to the U.S. government, closing this chapter of his ongoing efforts for peace and stability in Illyria. Guilty Gear -Strive- Three weeks after the events of the previous conflict, Leo Whitefang faces a new crisis when the time-traveling witch criminal I-No infiltrates Illyrian Castle prison, disabling the security cameras to prevent Leo and his allies from discovering her true objective. During this time, Daryl grows concerned about I-No's intentions, and Leo provides him with information on her past criminal activities. As I-No’s plans unfold, Leo becomes increasingly worried about the upcoming world summit, G4, set to occur in the U.S. amidst rising tensions. Leo fears that I-No’s continued escape could jeopardize the event's potential to bring about lasting peace. His fears are realized when I-No suddenly turns herself in, only to reveal that she and Happy Chaos have destroyed the center building of Illyria in order to unseal Nagoriyuki and force him into their service. In the wake of this disaster, Leo is reluctantly forced to work alongside former assassins Millia Rage and Zato-ONE, now reformed members of the Post-War Administration Bureau, to uncover I-No's true intentions. As Leo, Millia, Daryl, and Zato investigate the White House, they discover a mysterious "black box" linked to Illyria’s military-industrial projects, a secret unknown even to President Vernon. This revelation hints at deeper conspiracies within Illyria, with the current administration unaware of the full extent of their involvement. As the summit progresses and Sol, Ky, Jack-O, and others move into position, Leo listens to Millia and Zato’s redemption stories but is too late to prevent Happy Chaos from hacking into Illyria’s computer network, compromising the White House’s security. When the White House activates its true form as an airship, *Tir na nOg*, Leo faces the daunting task of preventing further escalation. As Chaos attempts to launch nuclear missiles aimed at multiple nations, Leo orders his forces to find a way to disable the weapons. Chaos forces the world leaders, including Daryl, to initiate the missile’s self-destruct, though Zato manages to stop the missiles from being destroyed. In the midst of the chaos, Leo contacts Goldlewis Dickinson at the Pentagon and warns him about the White House airship’s potential dangers, citing intelligence from Millia and Zato about its true nature. With help from the PWAB and Zepp, Leo’s team works to secure the airship as a rescue plane arrives to evacuate the world leaders. During this crisis, Daryl and Chaos come to an agreement, allowing the leaders to be freed and safely evacuated, while Leo uncovers more secrets about the White House’s hidden PEOC (Presidential Emergency Operations Center). As Leo and his allies continue their investigation, they discover that Chaos is the true mastermind behind the tragic events surrounding Justice’s Crusades. Chaos, using Asuka’s Tome of Origin, merges with I-No to become a godlike being. In a desperate battle, Leo and his allies—including Sol, Ky, Jack-O, Axl, Potemkin, and a redeemed Nagoriyuki—manage to defeat the merged Chaos and I-No, with Sol ultimately destroying the godlike entity. In the aftermath, with G4 a success and a new era of peace beginning, Leo reflects on I-No’s true desires. He, Ky, Millia, and Zato discuss the nature of hope, the past, the future, and the foundation upon which the present is built—something I-No lacked in her pursuit of power. As the world moves forward, Leo is last seen struggling to handle an overwhelming amount of paperwork from world leaders, though the peace he helped secure brings a glimmer of hope for the future.

Appearance

General Description: Leo is a tall man with shoulder-length, unkempt blond hair and a beard. He has blue eyes and a muscular build.

Clothing/Outfit: In his original design, Leo wears an orange coat with fur lining, several belts, and crosses. His pants have a cross design on each leg to match the jacket. He also wears black fingerless gloves. "Noblesse oblige" and "Ignorance may kill a lion" are written across his clothing and weapons.

In Guilty Gear -Strive-, Leo’s outfit is more simplified. He wears a white open-collared shirt under a black double-breasted waistcoat with rectangular lapels. His trousers are light-brown flannel, and he wears a brown trench coat with a light orange fur collar. The coat no longer has a cape-like design and features fur cuffs.

Personality

• Boisterous and Intimidating:* Leo has a loud and overwhelming presence, often intimidating those around him. He can be extremely loud when caught off-guard but is generally calm and collected in serious situations.

• Cautious and Serious: Despite his outward boisterousness, Leo is a very cautious person. He approaches problems with careful consideration and is serious and level-headed when necessary.

• Prideful and Competitive: Leo holds immense pride, particularly in his fighting abilities, and hates losing. His pride stems from his great aptitude for combat, and though he still holds himself in high regard, he is not arrogant. Leo is harsher on himself than on others, and would likely give himself a "C-" if asked to rate his own abilities.

• Growth and Self-Reflection: In his youth, Leo was self-centered and dismissive of those he considered inferior. Meeting Ky Kiske humbled him and encouraged him to improve himself. Despite still holding himself in high esteem, Leo has developed an inferiority complex toward Ky, though he completely trusts him.

• Unique Dictionary: Leo is in the process of compiling his own personal dictionary, the Royal Illyrian Dictionary, and redefines words according to his own experiences. For example, he has written his sister's name under "devil."

Attack Potency: City Block level (Potency) (Is considered a relative rival to Ky Kiske where Sol Badguy and Ky Kiske are considered the best of the best, putting them above the likes of Johnny who fought against Bedman, where in his fight with Slayer, caused a massive cavern across the entire terrain), Far Higher through Magic of the Backyard (Magic draws power directly from the Backyard, allowing a user to amplify themself to carry more energy than anything on this planet is capable of producing, however without an intermediary, this energy would destroy the planet). Can ignore durability with Magic (The Backyard is the term used to give reason to the five element configuration, in other worlds, it's "something" that conveys the information that defines the fundamental truth of this world, the magic people use are different from the alchemy that uses resources from present numbers, magic users like Sol and Sin forcefully borrow some kind of "reason" from that "something", being described as an obscure world that magic users temporarily access to gain power. Roughly put, it's a world that can rewrite the rules of the universe in any way it wants)

Equipment

Twin Blades

Leo Whitefang wielding his twin blades in Guilty Gear -Strive-.

• Description: Leo Whitefang’s twin blades are his signature weapons, used in all of his appearances across the Guilty Gear series. These versatile weapons can shapeshift and are employed in a variety of combat techniques.
• Appearance: The twin blades are large greatswords shaped like crosses. They feature handles on the sides of the crossguards, allowing them to be wielded like long fist weapons rather than traditional swords.
• Usage: The twin blades are used for both slashing and energy manipulation. Leo can launch powerful energy waves with the blades, rotate them 360 degrees around his fists, and even shrink them for portability. They can also shift into alternate forms, such as in Leo’s Instant Kill, where the blades take on the shape of a lion’s maw.
• Function: The blades can rotate at high speeds, enhancing their offensive capabilities. They also possess magical properties, allowing them to shift shapes and harness energy, although the full extent of their magical abilities is not entirely revealed.
• Notable Traits: Leo’s ability to change the shape of his twin blades is one of their defining features. This shape-shifting, combined with their energy-manipulating capabilities, makes them incredibly versatile in battle. Additionally, their ability to shrink down to a more portable size demonstrates their practicality outside of combat.

Notable Techniques

Standard Fighter Techniques ▾Unique Techniques ▾

Guilty Gear (1998)Guilty Gear XGuilty Gear XX ▾Guilty Gear 2 Overture

Gatling Combo System

Gatling Combos involve chaining together normal attacks, always increases or staying the same level of strength. After a Gatling Combo, the fighter can then usually cancel, or two-in-one, into a Special Move.

Charge Attack

Fighters have a special move that can be charged up for increased power, this is accomplished by charging their special in order to use an enhanced version of an attack that reaches all the way to level 3.

Instant Kill System

Instant Kill moves are moves that are a fighter's most powerful technique. Defeating an opponent with the Instant Kill will end the match immediately, regardless of the round the fighters are on.

Chaos Moves

Chaos Moves are super-powerful attacks that takes a completely full Chaos Bar to use. These moves do far more damage then a fighters standard attacks.

Dash / Back-Dash / Air Dash

Fighters can dash forward, do a back dash, and dash even in mid air, allowing for greater mobility of moving around their opponents during fights.

High Jump

A high jump is much higher then a regular jump, and a forward or backward High Jump travels all the way across the screen. A Double Jump cannot be performed during a High Jump.

Knockdown Evasion

When a fighter gets hit with an attack that knocks down, they will flip out of the hit immediately, ready to retaliate.

Double Jump

A fighter can jump once on the ground and once again in the air, allowing them to reach higher and out of reach spots from other fighters.

Throws

Fighters can grab opponents to throw them, being able to throw them either forward or backwards.

Mid-Air Turn

Through pressing the Taunt Button when in mid-air, the fighter can turn around and face the opposite direction, this technique can be useful to attack from behind.

Aerial Combos

Fighters have an Aerial Combo Launcher, which allows them to launch the opponent into the air, they can follow with a Chase Jump where they can attack the opponent with a multi-hit, mid-air Gatling Combo.

Dead-Angle Attack

When blocking an opponent's attacks, the fighter can quickly input a Special Move command to cancel their block animation and strike the enemy while they're still attacking.

Perfect Guard

Unlike normal blocking which drains a small amount of life when blocking against a special move or Chaos Move, the Perfect Guard can block without losing any life at all. Though the Perfect Guard will drain the fighter's Chaos Bar, and if they have no Chaos Energy at all, they will not be able to use Perfect Guard.

Faultess Defense

Through inputing the punch and kick simultaneously while pushgin the directional button for a guard position, the fighter enters a special guard condition that creates a barrier around them. This prevents opponents from shaving away at their strength with deadly attacks and the knock back is greater than when using normal guards, giving the fighter more time to ready an attack against their opponent. This also enables the ability to guard against attacks that cannot be guarded against during jumps. However, while performing Faultess Defense the Tension Gauge decreases, once it is fully depleted the fighter can no longer use Fautless Defense.

Roman Cancel

While hitting an opponent with an attack, pushing any of the attack buttons will forcefully stop attack actions and return the character to a normal standing pose. This allows the fighter to create their own original combo moves and hit unique attacks the opponent was not expecting.

Jump Cancel

There are certain attacks that can be cancelled mid-move into a jump, being called a Jump Cancel. When hitting an opponent with, or guarding against certain attacks, press the Directional button UP to cancel into a jump. Successful use of this can help to enhance their combo techniques.

Counter Hit

While the opponent is trying to use a move, the fighter can counter attack by hitting them with one of their attacks, because the opponent's time off balance is increased, this move allows for use of combo attacks that normally couldn't be used.

Recovery Direction

When using a recovery move by pushing a directional button, the fighter can recover from a knock down in the direction pressed, this can provide with a chance for a counterattack if used correctly.

Instant Kill Technique

As the name implies, these are the ultimate deadly attack that can do away with opponents with a single blast. Due to the sheer power of these moves, they take a long time to unleash. Unleashing an Instant Kill attack, completely depletes the Tension Gauge, thus missing this move at all makes the fighter struggle worse as they won't be able to use various actions that require the Tension Gauge.

Guard

Push the directional button opposite of the direction of the fighter's opponent to guard against attacks. There are standing and crouching guards which guard against the respective areas, with standard guard defending against high and mid-level attacks while crouch guarding defends against low attacks. Fighters can even guard during jumps to protect against attacks in the air.

Two-Level Jumps

Fighters can jump again while in the air.

Gatling Combo

A method of linking normal moves together as combo attacks. The moment a fighter hits an opponent with a normal attack, they proceed to enter commands for another normal attack to create combos. The number of moves that can be used in combos vary with each character.

Overdrive Attack

Over Drive attacks are powerful attacks that use up 50% of the Tension Gauge. The commands for the move vary with each character.

High Jump

Press the down then up directional buttons quickly to jump higher than the usual jumps, though a Two-Level jump cannot be used after a High Jump.

Forward Thrust Attack

With a Punch or Heavy Attack common to all characters, keep the right directional button pressed down while attacking to transform attacks.

Dead Angle Attack

At the instant the fighter has guarded against an opponent's attack, push two attack buttons simultaneously while pushing down on the right directional button to counterattack from the guard position. The Tension Gauge needs to be at 50% or above for this move.

Faultless Defense

Push the punch and kick button simultaneously while pushing the directional button for a guard position to enter a special guard condition that creates a special barrier around the fighter. This prevents opponents from shaving away through a fighter's strength with deadly attacks, and the knock back is greater than when a fighter uses normal guards, giving them more time to ready an attack against the opponent. They can also guard against attacks that cannot be guarded against during jumps.

While performing the Faultless Defense, the tension gauge decreases in real time, when the Tension Gauge powr is depleted, this guard can no longer be used.

Jump Cancel

In this state, fighters life won't be consumed when guarding against opponents Special Moves, but the opponent will knock the fighter back further than usual. This technique can be used to guard an attack which normally cannot be defended in mid-air.

Jump Cancel

It's a normal mode where a fighter can freely move around the battlefield, in this mode fighters can unleash attacks that cover a wide-range to hit multiple foes, but the power of the attacks are rather weak.

Lock-On Mode

Explanations

The Backyard

When studying the energy that shouldn't exist (magic), a theory arose: that being the Backyard, a superior dimension. The Backyard is described by Sol as a virtual space though is refuted as the other way around, where the main world is the one that's a virtual space. The Backyard is the term used to give reason to the five element configuration, in other worlds, it's "something" that conveys the information that defines the fundamental truth of this world. The magic people like Sol and Sin use are different from the alchemy that uses resources from present numbers, magic users like Sol and Sin forcefully borrow some kind of "reason" from that "something", being described as an obscure world that magic users temporarily access to gain power. Just as the Earth can't exist if there's no universe, this world cannot exist unless they have that "something", being larger then the universe. Roughly put, it's a world that can rewrite the rules of the universe in any way it wants. The Backyard can be explained as a book or library that has the theory of the world written on it. It's responsible for the usage of irregular magic even scientists such as Sol have never seen before, allowing people to use magic that disproves the fundamentals of magic. The Backyard was discovered by a Philosopher, being described to rule all things in the universe and from within it, one could understand any truth or even bend the world as they please. Sol notes that if Valentine could freely access the Backyard, then she can also mess with the world's fate. Asuka Kreutz notes that if someone strays too far into the Backyard, their soul breaks down under the pressure of the information's density. In Guilty Gear Xrd -Sign-, the Backyard is defined as a world separate from our own, yet somehow controlling it, what's hidden behind its gates are the eternal truths, including good & evil, creation & destruction, and of chaos the likes of which mankind has never seen. The Backyard is a space connected by people's dreams. Axl traveling in the Backyard with I-No noted how his body felt heavy and his head felt weird, with I-No noting they're in a field created by That Man so they could exist in the Backyard in the flesh. When a normal life form enters the Backyard they turn to dust, the Backyard is composed of high-density information which governs all of creation, any normal creature is instantly crushed by that wealth of data. The Backyard has no effect on any non-living matter. RoboMay explains the Backyard as composed of extremely dense information that governs the creation of all material things and by adding new information to it, one could easily deform the world itself. Noting that it is a dangerous place that could literally cause the world to break.

Misconceptions

Ramlethal has Romantic Feelings Towards Leo Whitefang

This comes from the English version, Ramlethal has a conversation with Lucifero where he asks her if there's anyone she likes that's not the same as familial affection, and she mentions Leo Whitefang, however this is misunderstood, some have even noted this conversation may be mistranslated though there's no official source for this as of yet. It should also be noted that Lucifero likes to tease or joke around with Ramlethal so he isn't a reliable source to go by for understanding Ramlethal. Going by the official relationship board of Guilty Gear Strive the closest piece of evidence is that a heart icon can be seen over Ramlethal and Leo's relationship bar, with it saying "Interested", however the text itself notes "Ramlethal looks up to Leo", meanwhile a character that is well known for liking a guy, May, straight up has "likes" for her relationship status to Johnny, and even Giovanna's relationship status to Leo that says "Interested" directly notes in the text that she finds Leo her type. While Ramlethal's simply notes looking up to a character, which moreso implies Ramlethal admires or idolizes Leo Whitefang rather then has romantic feelings for him.

Codex Statistics Questions

Q: Shouldn't they scale to the higher levels of magic naturally?

A: This would not make much senses as it there are scenes that showcase the cast do not regularly produce those levels of energy, Ramlethal was going to destroy the ship they (Sol Badguy, Ky Kiske, Sin Kiske, & Elphelt Vaentine) were flying on, claiming "We're thirty-four thousand feet up. If this ship goes down, I doubt anyone will survive", Dizzy's instant kill is a massive explosion that the explosion alone scares all fighters into surrendering, Jack-O's instant kill causes an explosion so wide it can be seen from the planet, however the planet is overall fine, etcetera. It makes much more sense that they are at far lower levels normally and can reach or even ignore higher levels through tapping into the Backyard.
