Leonardo is a player in "Elder Tale" known for his unique and flashy appearance, more than his strength. He plays both an Assassin and Deliveryman with a Human race on the North American server. Despite being a skilled programmer in real life and somewhat famous in the game, a lot of his fame comes from his green, hero-inspired costume that led Kanami to call him "Kero Nardo." After the "Apocalypse," disappointment with his ruined home city pushes him into a mysterious portal, which sends him all the way to China's server, where he ends up joining Kanami’s group. As the story progresses, Leonardo grows by learning to see in-game non-player characters (NPCs) as real people and creates his own powerful combo move with inspiration from Kanami. He is very fond of his special twin blades and magic belt.
Leonardo is always dressed in a striking, all-green costume inspired by his favorite hero.
His look is so memorable and out-of-place that other players notice him right away.
Kanami even gives him the nickname "Kero Nardo" because of his frog-like look.
Leonardo is playful and a little eccentric, enjoying standing out with his strange hero cosplay.
Though he first saw NPCs as just programs, his perspective changes after spending time with Kanami’s party.
He is curious, clever, and willing to learn new things quickly.
Leonardo is an experienced player of "Elder Tale," having spent five years in the game.
He lived in New York in the real world and spent most of his time in the North American server’s "Land of Wen," which features a big city called "Big Apple."
He is a talented geek who especially enjoys programming.
Leonardo’s character is a level 90 Assassin/Deliveryman.
He wields the secret treasure class "Ninja Twin Flame" twin blades and has a legendary-rank accessory called "Belt of Sioro’s Shadow Walker."
He creates his own move called "Parallel Plot," a special combo inspired by Kanami's manual skill activation, which improves his attack the more he chains hits.
Leonardo teams up with Kanami, Elias Hackblade, and Coppelia in the main plot.
He learns from Kanami, is impressed by Elias Hackblade, and is especially influenced by Coppelia being a bot.
At first, he views non-player characters just as NPCs, but his thinking changes after his adventures with the group.
Getting Noticed on "Wen’s Land"
Leonardo is already somewhat famous when "Elder Tale" becomes real, but not for combat ability.
His green hero outfit makes him hard to miss.
Disappointment with the "Big Apple"
After the "Apocalypse" event, his favorite city—the Big Apple—is ruined.
Let down by the city's destruction, Leonardo escapes through a mysterious "Fairy Ring" portal.
Transported to a Strange Land
Instead of landing somewhere near, the portal sends him all the way to the Chinese server.
He ends up in Aolsoi (which matches the real-world city Tekeil in Kazakhstan).
There, he is caught in the huge battle event called "Ruined City of Tekeli."
Joining Kanami’s Party
Kanami, Elias Hackblade, and Coppelia discover Leonardo and invite him to join their journey toward the Japanese server.
He becomes a traveling companion and teammate.
Learning About NPCs
Leonardo used to think all NPCs were just simple computer programs.
When he learns Coppelia is a former bot, and after seeing Lasphere, he starts to understand NPCs can have feelings and thoughts.
This changes how he treats everyone in the game.
Inventing a New Skill Combo
During his travels, Leonardo notices Kanami can trigger skills with her own hands.
He practices hard and creates "Parallel Plot," a fierce new combo move based on "Deadly Dance"—the more he attacks in a row, the stronger he gets.
Leonardo’s most beloved gear includes the secret Assassin sword "Ninja Twin Flame" and the mythical "Belt of Sioro’s Shadow Walker."
His nickname "Kero Nardo" comes from his frog-like hero appearance.
Leonardo is more famous for his costume than his fighting skills at first, but he becomes much stronger and more respected during his adventure.
His journey with Kanami and others teaches him to see people—player or not—as real companions.
