Character from Bastion by Phil Tucker
Scorio's most steadfast companion — a Great Soul whose motivations shift like tectonic plates beneath a surface of unshakeable loyalty, with the best character growth in the series.
Leonis is the companion everyone wants in their party and nobody fully understands. His loyalty to Scorio is bedrock — tested repeatedly and never broken — but his motivations shift in ways that keep other characters (and readers) uncertain about what he ultimately wants. This isn't deception; it's genuine evolution across reincarnations that don't always produce the same person. His relationship with Lianshi is one of the series' most nuanced dynamics: romantic after rebirth, genuinely loving, and then slowly breaking down by Book 3 in ways that feel inevitable rather than dramatic. Neither party is the villain. They simply grew in directions that no longer aligned. In The Lost Cube, Leonis experiences what readers describe as the best character growth in the series — embracing a support role with meaningful internal changes that redefine what strength means in a world that measures it exclusively through combat power.
Carries himself with the quiet competence of someone who has decided that being reliable is its own form of strength. His physical presence is grounded rather than flashy — a complement to Scorio's explosive intensity.
