Dec. 9th, 2013 02:00 am□ Name: Leo Baskerville.
□ Journal: shutupglen@DW.
□ Series: Pandora Hearts.
□ Canon point: Chapter 78, before Oswald takes control over his body.
□ History: Pandora Hearts @ Wiki, Pandora Hearts @ Wikia, Leo @ Wikia. There's a really handy timeline over here.
Also, these could be useful too: Abyss, Baskerville family, Glen Baskerville.
□ Personality: At first sight, at the risk of being cliché - ah, you may not notice him, because most of the time he's seen with his master Elliot Nightray whose strong personality always manages to become the center of attention. Leo, in the meantime, prefers to maintain a more passive role, observing what happens from a distance. He's always seen smiling and with a positive attitude, although if it comes to judge him by its appearance, his long bangs and glasses covering her eyes tell us he's a person who stays away from the world; and possibly that’s not too far from reality.
Since his childhood, and because of him hearing voices no one else hears and seeing dots of light that nobody else sees, he was strongly alienated by the people from his village (who considered him a freak), making him build a huge wall separating him from others. However, as was reflected in a conversation that Elliot and Leo kept, it's more like Leo doesn't want to see the world, rather than hide from it. Keeping that wall, it's possible for him to function as a normal human being.
Leo is an avid reader (because of the many years he spent reading in the House of Fianna, an orphanage) and has an amazing talent for music, learning to play the piano and compose on his own. As might be expected of a servant, he is responsible and polite, showing respect when he should. Leo is good at reading between lines, and has offered valuable advice to both Elliot and Oz when the situation required it. He usually keeps a good control of the situation and can swiftly determine when is a good idea to speak or keep quiet, as evidenced by the numerous times that he had stopped Elliot from saying something that could get him into trouble (like the time he snapped at Vessalius count for being more worried about him rather than his own son, Leo stopped him from going any further).
He's stubborn and determined, so even Elliot's brothers and sister rejection didn't make him desist from his labors as his servant. He may jokingly threat Elliot about resigning on more than one occasion, but he actually takes his job as a servant very seriously, showing how responsible he is. In his own words: "it is the responsibility of a servant to show his master their mistakes," and thus he's not afraid of correcting Elliot when he's being rude or is only thinking about himself. Those who know him better know he's really honest and says things as they are, without worrying about how many egos can he can hurt on his way (In fact, Elliot said he chose Leo as his servant because he would tell him when he was wronging).
Usually Leo seems quiet, friendly and considerate, offering words of encouragement to Oz after a fight he had with Elliot the first time they met, showing how much he worries about others who aren't his master... which of course doesn't prevents him from making sarcastic remarks from time to time, especially when his patience is being tested.
However, even when is something not many people know, he has a really explosive temper, and under the right stimulus Leo can be very violent: he has been seen hitting people, throwing furniture and it was even mentioned once he nearly killed a person who tried to cut his hair. He also has a bad self-image product of the alienation he suffered in his childhood, so in the face of any trouble his first reaction is believing he's the one being wrong.
This is the 'normal' Leo.
There's no need to read too hard before realizing Elliot is a very important person in his life. As Leo himself says, Elliot is noble-minded and unyielding, the exact opposite of Leo and that's why he accepted his offer to become his servant, in order to stay by his side. However, due to a number of circumstances, which are largely related to Leo being 'Glen Baskerville', Elliot dies in a terrible way, triggering some changes in the young boy.
The first and most radical, Leo asks Vincent to cut his hair, thus destroying the wall he had built and which allowed him to interact more normally with the rest. Leo accepts his role as 'Glen Baskerville' and even when he's still seen as someone happy and smiling (and still being his honest and sarcastic self, having no qualms about calling Vincent 'disgusting' and 'gross'), Oz notes this 'new' Leo is like a complete stranger, even if he looks and sounds the same.
His poor self-image together with Elliot's death triggers some self-destructive tendencies of him, reaching a point where he clearly only seeks his own destruction, as noticed by Oz. This is the Leo arriving to Ariel. He’ll keep the smile and positive attitude, even if it ends up being just a facade.
□ Age: 16.
□ Gender: Male.
□ Appearance: He has shoulder-length black hair, styled by no other than Vincent. He's about 164 cms (5'4") tall and has a small build, giving him a somehow frail appearance even when he's actually fairly strong - at least he has no trouble throwing stuff!
His eyes are dark violet blue-ish, and if you look closer there are tiny spots of light on them, reflecting the effect of the Abyss over the world only he can see.
□ Abilities/Powers:
- As stated above, he can see the effect of the Abyss on the world in the form of tiny, glowing dots of light.
- Can hear Glen's previous incarnations on his head and talk to them.
- Leo has a contract with one of the black winged Chains, Jabberwock. As seen in the manga, Jabberwock is an enormous bird-dragon-like creature which can create a path to the Abyss. [Reference picture]
- As a Baskerville, he's mostly immortal. So far, Baskervilles have been stabbed, poisoned and shot in the head and they have been able to quickly recover from that. The only ways they have been seen dying is by effect of the Abyss power (in the case of previous 'Glen Baskerville'), beheaded or killed by Mad Hatter, a chain-killer Chain.
On more mundane abilities, he's a very skilled piano player and compositor, and an avid reader. Because of that, he most likely knows about a lot of stuff.
□ Personal Items:
- Elliot's sword.
- Lacie's sheet music.
- Random encyclopedia.
