Description
Leon Orcot is a young homicide detective in the Los Angeles Police Department who becomes the central human figure in the world of the pet shop run by Count D. He is approximately twenty‑four years old, stands one hundred eighty‑four centimeters tall, and has blonde hair that he usually keeps in a sloppy ponytail, along with narrow blue eyes. His name, his blonde hair, and his energetic manner are repeatedly compared to those of a lion, and Count D as well as others treat him with that same respectful yet wary regard.

Orcot’s personality is defined by a hot‑tempered, impulsive nature and a strong, unwavering sense of justice. He is boisterous, loud, and outgoing, but also carries a certain cultural ignorance that aligns with the stereotype of the brash American abroad. He has a pronounced disdain for anything supernatural and stubbornly refuses to believe Count D’s explanations for the bizarre events surrounding the pet shop. This skepticism is gradually challenged as the story unfolds, yet he never fully embraces the supernatural. He is also frequently described as lecherous, spending much of his free time pursuing romantic interests.

His primary motivation is to link a series of gruesome, inexplicable deaths and disappearances to Count D and his pet shop. Convinced that D is a criminal—initially suspecting the shop is a front for drug trafficking—Orcot pursues the case with an iron will, determined to be the one to arrest D. This obsessive investigation forms the backbone of his role in the story: he serves as the episodic thread that ties together otherwise stand‑alone chapters, providing a consistent plot through his recurring confrontations with D.

The key relationship in Orcot’s life is his evolving connection with Count D. What begins as pure hostility gradually transforms into a close, complicated, and somewhat uneasy friendship. D gives Orcot two pets—a flowering plant and a butterfly—which, unlike the pets sold to other customers that are meant to teach harsh lessons, are intended to help Orcot through difficult periods in his personal life. Conversely, when Orcot finds himself in mortal danger, D often intervenes to save him. This mutual reliance deepens their bond while keeping a core of mistrust alive.

Over the course of the series, Orcot undergoes noticeable development. He starts as a purely rational detective who rejects any hint of the occult, but the mounting evidence of real supernatural forces forces him to adapt. His rigid worldview softens, and he learns to cooperate with D even if he never fully accepts the truth about the pet shop. Despite his personal growth, he retains his core traits: his hot‑headedness, his lecherous tendencies, and his unyielding pursuit of justice.

As for abilities, Orcot relies entirely on his skills as a trained homicide detective—he is methodical in his investigations, persistent in gathering evidence, and physically capable when necessary. He possesses no supernatural powers; his strength lies in his determination and occasional flashes of insight that allow him to see connections others miss. His most notable ability is his refusal to give up on a case, a trait that both drives the narrative and puts him repeatedly in harm’s way.
