I’m glad that we have this understanding. In action novels, this is called the meeting of two protagonists. The wheels of history are set in motion.

— Leonard to Klein
on Lord of Mysteries, Chapter 121

Leonard Mitchell is a captain of the Red Gloves, a division under the Church of the Evernight Goddess, in Backlund diocese. He is codenamed The Star in the Tarot Club.

Originally a member of the Tingen City division of the Nighthawks, he has since joined the Red Gloves and managed to get revenge against Ince Zangwill for the deaths of Dunn Smith and Klein Moretti. After the war, he advanced further and became one of the High-ranking deacons in the Church of the Evernight Goddess.

When not on missions around the Loen Kingdom, he usually stays in the capital, Backlund. He is currently housing an Error Pathway parasite, revealed to be Pallez Zoroast, an Angel of the Zoroast Family, who provides guidance to Leonard after losing most of "His" power.

Klein Moretti refers to him as a "partner" after successfully taking revenge on Ince Zangwill together. Leonard was also one of the recipients of the 5 gold coins that had the aura of Sefirah Castle from Klein Moretti.

Appearance[]

He was a young police inspector and looked about the same age as Klein. With black sideburns and green pupils, he was good-looking and had a poet's romantic temperament.

Lord of Mysteries, Chapter 10

Mr. Star really is laid-back, and his hair is combed very casually. It’s such a pity. Otherwise, with his looks, he can be a model on the covers of magazines…

Emlyn White mentioned that his looks are barely comparable to their Sanguines.[4] Audrey Hall also commented that with his looks, he can be a model on the covers of magazines.[5]

Personality[]

Leonard is a relaxed person who doesn't like rules by nature. He often put his feet on the table and didn't like going to church. Because of the parasite Pallez Zoroast, he believed himself to be the protagonist of the era.

After the death of Dunn Smith and Klein, he felt helpless in the face of these disasters and lost his pride. He also became more aloof, only thinking of revenge on Ince Zangwill.

Leonard also showed great skills at deduction in Tingen, later when he traced the case of devil dogs as a Red Glove, and most importantly, when he investigated Sherlock Moriarty and Gehrman Sparrow.[6][7]

He appeared to be careless and sloppy sometimes, but can be very sharp and brave at crucial moments. For example, he was able to pull his own fingernail off without hesitation when he knew that he was about to be cursed by a demoness.

Mr. Star’s performance is similar to my usual observations of him. He’s more carefree and casual, and his thoughts easily wander in an uncontrollable manner. Yet, there are matters where he shows his experience and acuity. He’s rather reliable… This isn’t a contradiction, as many people have such “mixed layers to themselves”…

Background[]

Leonard was an orphan who grew up in an orphanage managed by the Church of the Evernight Goddess. With his outstanding appearance, Leonard has been given preferential treatment since he was a child, which allows him to form a character that trusts those around him enough. After growing up, Leonard became a Nighthawk. In one paranormal case, Leonard possessed a coin, which was then parasitized by Pallez Zoroast.[8] Leonard learned about the Acting Method from Pallez.[9]
