Background / History
Leo was Count Stanwen’s only son and the heir to the Huiderieman Family. Although the family inherited the formidable Terror Crocodile Bloodline, Leo inherited none of it. He nevertheless longed for strength and became absorbed in behemoth legends, frequently visiting Stone City’s fossil collection 997 1000 1002.
Stanwen indulged Leo and arranged his engagement to Rhys despite her reluctance. At the engagement ball, Black Bat Army infiltrators planned to capture Leo and use him as leverage against his father. Before the attack, Merlin entered Leo’s body while fleeing the Behemoth World’s Rule Power. To survive, Merlin erased Leo’s consciousness and took control; subsequent actions attributed to “Leo” are Merlin’s 996 997.
