Description
Leodari, also known in some sources as Liontari or Ryodari, is a character from the series Children of the Whales. He is a soldier of the Skylos Empire, specifically classified as an apátheia, a type of soldier whose emotions are normally suppressed through the use of a Nous parasite. However, Leodari stands out among his peers because he retains a high degree of emotional expression, largely due to his incompatibility with the Nous. This incompatibility caused him to fail at the military academy, leading to transfers through several units before he was assigned to the Faleina extermination unit.
In terms of personality, Leodari is emotionally unstable and takes evident pleasure in violence and bloodshed, acting with a sadistic and erratic demeanor. He views the inhabitants of the Mud Whale as sinners who must be purged, and his combat style reflects this chaotic and lethal disposition. His motivations are rooted in cruelty and a twisted sense of enjoyment derived from slaughter, making him a terrifying and unpredictable opponent.
Leodari serves as a primary antagonist during the initial invasion of the Mud Whale, acting under the command of the imperial commander Orca. His role in the story is to embody the Empire's relentless cruelty and force the peaceful residents of the Mud Whale to confront the harsh hatred of the outside world. He functions as a dark mirror to the character Lykos, illustrating the path she might have followed had she remained loyal to the Empire. His notable abilities include high-level combat skills and proficiency with thymia, the psychic power used by soldiers in this world, which he wields in a wild and aggressive manner.
Key relationships include his past connection with Lykos, as the two grew up in the same city and were acquainted before their diverging paths. He serves under Orca, who oversees his actions during the campaign. Leodari also shares a mutual animosity with Ouni, the most powerful thymia user among the Mud Whale's defenders, as the two represent the strongest warriors of opposing sides. While Leodari does not undergo significant personal growth or change, his presence serves as a catalyst for the protagonists' development, forcing them to reckon with the reality of war and external hostility. His eventual defeat marks a turning point in the conflict, as the Mud Whale's inhabitants begin to understand the true cost of their struggle for survival.
