Leonhart is said to be a fierce king that leads his countrymen with equal form of brutality and cruelty but in truth, he is actually a kind and caring king that wants nothing more than his subjects to feel safe and secure in his country. He shows is brutal side not because he wants to, but because he sees it as a means to keep his country's political parties in check. He fears that others will try and usurp him if he doesn't keep his appearance as a strong king.
