even if he dies, as a Finger we surely would bring Rosarias Soul back to her body. get rid of us forever then return the Soul back or B. He might have agreed to play the bad guy and A. One, to get away from the player out of fear? No. Rosarias Body is still there, fully functional! I saw some people comparing this questline with Lautrec but, Anas Body is gone after he kills her. If she was killed, her body would vanish. She mastered the art of Soul changing, of changing appearances, why shouldn’t she be able to do it with her own Soul.

How he gets it, is a mystery but I have a little theory for it: Mind you, when we kill Rosaria, we don’t get her Soul, we can only obtain it from killing Leonhard.

Why would we want her Soul when we can use her flesh for the same service? Why would we follow him, if not to take the Soul for ourselves. He sees us as beasts in human skin, out for more souls, more power. He has heard of the Unkindeld and says in his aggroed stage something we can use to support the fact that he sees us a thread.

Rosaria doesn’t need a Soul to ‘function’.īut a Soul means more power. Mind you, the player can still use her body for the same things we can use her while she’s alive. He fears that we might turn so hungry for power that we will try to take her Soul for us. He sees us a thread to Rosarias well being. I, Leonhard, swear so upon my vows to the goddess.”Ĭertainly no beast wrapped in human skin!” “Well, well, never expected to see you here.įelt sorry for the poor thing, in all her festering glory?Īnd now you want to ravage her soul, as well. What does Leonhard say to us when we finally hunt him down in Irithyll? One in red, the color of the Fingers.Īnd one in blue, the color of the Darkmoon Blade. Instead I have two theories.Īnd I can tell you that both of them will paint the picture of Leonhard with different colors. Is it really love? As I said previously, no. Why would he kill Rosaria, the woman he has to thank for this change? So, all of this, all of his character development is seemingly thrown under the bus for no real reason. He ‘let it go’ and ‘let the past buried in the snow’. He doesn’t need to go back to his former self again. It helps with the cleansing and releasing of mental, physical and emotional issues and blockages as it opens new doors and lights the way to the future. He hides his past behind a mask of silver.įrom a color psychology viewpoint, it signals a time of reflection and a change of direction as it illuminates the way forward. Probably because he no longer saw fit in doing it because the service for Rosaria was enough to make him believe he doesn’t need to pretty face to be able to accomplish something. He abstained from restoring these injuries, even after becoming a Finger of Rosaria. His face in particular, which he hid beneath his mask, was terribly scalded. In his youth, Leonhard suffered grave burns to his entire body. Leonhard set out on a journey of rebirth, but decided instead to serve the goddess as a knight, and inherited this weapon. We know that he wanted to be rebirthed at first but never did it. We meet him as one of the first NPCs in Firelink Shrine and he is the one who introduces the player to the concept of Invading and killing other players, as well as asking us to maybe join the Fingers. Calculating and a tad paranoid as well, not very aggressive. He is a very cunning, highly intelligent young man. Going back to things we can analyse without much speculation. The common theory that he is just madly in love with Rosaria is-ĭon’t worry, I will explain why but I just wanted to get this out right at the beginning because I am sick of reading this everywhere. I’ll say, right here, just a quick debunk. Those are things we get just from his clothes and name. He is one of Rosarias Fingers, the Ringfinger to be exact.So, let’s take a peak behind the mask of įirst of all, what do we know about Leonhard? What’s good guys? I couldn’t sleep yesterday but that’s not bad since it enabled me to muse a little about a certain character, it shall be forgiven.
