Leo Baskerville (リーオ, Rĩo also known as Reo) was Eliot Nightray's servant and friend. Now he is the new head of the Baskervilles, as he is the new host for Glen Baskerville's soul.


HISTORY

Leo used to live in an unknown town with his mother and father. He was always known as the weird one. He could hear a voice in his head and see flecks of golden light everywhere while no one else could. His mother

decided to let Leo's bangs grow down over top of his eyes so that he didn't have to see the world the way he did anymore and that way, maybe he could feel more normal. Leo's father died when he was very young in an accident while in town and he lived with only his mother from there out.
Leo's mother then died when he was 12, while some said she'd been caught in the middle of a drunken brawl, others said that she was devoured by some sort of monster, the latter being what happened. In truth, Leo's mother was eaten by a Chain, and so Leo was taken away by a man one day. No one questioned Leo's leaving, and so Leo went to the place where all children who had lost their parents to Chain and other Abyss related instances went, The House of Fianna. The House of Fianna was an orphanage in Sablier that was owned by the Nightray Dukedom, unknown to him though, the Orphans were subject to experimentation involving the study of Chains, and the Orphans were often used as bait to draw out Chains. Leo noticed quickly that a specific man, Isla Yura, often visited the House of Fianna and Leo had a bad feeling about him, and so tried to keep his distance. Eventually, Leo taught himself how to play piano and formed a love for music.
Leo was bad with the Orphans because he had no idea how to handle them as all the children of his village ignored him as well, and so when one of the Orphans went to touch Leo's bangs, wondering why he had them so long, Leo shoved her to the ground and ran. This is when Leo found the House of Fianna's Library. Leo immersed himself in the world of the books to keep away from everyone. The books were all too complicated for the little Orphans, so Leo was quite peaceful everyday... until Leo met him.
Elliot Nightray was brought by his brothers, Claude and Ernest, to choose a Valet for young Elliot. Upon meeting, the two started immediatly striking blows at one another. Claude eventually carted Elliot away, but he came back. To start off, Leo just retorted all of Elliot's remarks, and even though Elliot stormed away angrily, he always came back later and so Leo started to enjoy his company. Eventually, the two formed a friendship through their mutual love of music.
Elliot played a song that he wrote, "Statice", for Leo. Elliot said it had come to him in a dream and so he claimed it as his own, only then did Elliot offer Leo the song as a gift. Leo initially refused,

he thought that using the song as a symbol of their friendship was cheesy, but eventually accepted it. Elliot was known to be jealous of Leo's musical skill because he had taught himself and was so much better than Elliot, but the subject never got between them. Leo later wrote "Lacie", brought on by Glen being inside Leo, and gave it to Elliot as a gift, in return for "Statice".
Leo and Elliot formed a strong friendship from there, and were able to share more personal information with one another. Elliot was present when someone had set up a haircut for Leo, but when they came near Leo's hair with the scissors, Leo disarmed them and beat on them, nearly killing them with the scissors himself. Elliot asked Leo why he covers his eyes, as Leo had let Elliot see them and Elliot thought that they were beautiful, and so Leo explained that he wasn't hiding them, but rather that he didn't want to see the world as it was.
Later on, Elliot asked Leo to become his Valet, as Leo was what Elliot had always been searching for, a person that he can talk to as a friend and an equal. Leo declined upon being asked, but later changed his mind and accepted Elliot's offer as the Nightray Library had piqued Leo's interest and he saw Elliot as a better person than when he had first met him.
Elliot later bought Leo a pair of glasses to cover his eyes rather than let Leo use his hair, to which Leo was grateful. Together, they were a perfect pair, though Leo still had his secrets. Leo kept Isla Yura away from Elliot, not wanting Yura to be anywhere near Elliot.
