Biography
Leonardo Watch (Japanese: レオナルド・ウォッチ, Hepburn: Reonarudo Wocchi)
At some point, his sister Michella came to lose the use of her legs thus confining her to a wheelchair. The family later decided to journey to Hellsalem's Lot to see if there was a means of restoring her legs. It was then that the family was confronted by a Beyondian known as Riga El Menuhyut (リガ＝エル＝メヌヒュト Riga Eru Menuhyuto?) who was the Ophthalmology Engineer for Beings of Higher Existence. The being forced the siblings to make a choice on who would be forced to sacrifice their eyes with Michella volunteering herself. This led to her losing her eyesight and going blind whilst Leo's eyes were replaced with the All-Seeing Eyes of the Gods that were able to see the intricacies of the world around them and had been given to people across history to witness historic events.
Six months later, whilst talking with Vivian at her restaurant 's diner, Leo's camera is stolen by a Sonic Monkey, causing him to chase after it only to be caught up in the gunfight between the HLPD and a bank robber. Whilst trying to escape, he runs into Zapp, an agent of Libra who mistakes him for Johnny Landis, their new member. Realizing that Libra could help him find answers, Leo pretends to be Johnny and follows Zapp to meet Libra's leader, Klaus Von Reinherz. After being exposed as a fake by Chain Sumeragi, Leo pleads his case just as Femt starts his 'game', releasing half a Yog-Gphot in Hellsalem's Lot, instructing them to destroy the second gate to keep the two halves from uniting. Leo's eyes allow him to see the attack before it hits, though Klaus is still injured trying to save him. After revealing his past, he is formally invited into Libra and paired with Zapp to destroy the second Gate, which he deduces is not planted on the monkey, but rather a flea on the monkey's body, thwarting Femt's plan.
Set sometime after his induction into Libra, Leo is first seen driving a pizza delivery bike while listening to 'It's a Wonderful Beyond'. In the anime, he witnesses a brother and sister pair that remind him of his little sister, Michella. There is also a short scene in Libra's office where Zapp attacks Klaus, only to be defeated and summarily stepped on by Chain. After being cheated out of a pizza by Zapp yet again, Leo is forced to give the man a ride to his next date when they stumble across a suspicious looking group that, after conversing with Zapp, appear to be operating under an illusion only Leo's eyes can penetrate. While Zapp calls Chain to report the sighting, the pair is attacked shortly and Leo is taken hostage, though not before Zapp manages to connect his blood to him. Awakening inside the wagon, Leo learns that the smugglers are kidnapping people to sell as food and attempts to use his 'Eyes of the Gods' to escape, only to startle his captors. As they threaten to kill him, Leo realizes his eyes can switch the 'sight' of others and uses this to overpower them, causing the wagon to crash, allowing Chain to lead Klaus to them. Hospitalized and mummified due to Klaus going overboard, Leo is unable to voice his irritation at Steven's 'praise' and learning Zapp was assigned as his guard.
Overview
Personalities and attributes
A very kind person, he worked very hard to earn money to support his sister but refuses to be paid by Libra more than he feels he deserves and takes a second job as a pizza delivery man to cover the fees. In addition, he quickly becomes friends with a mushroom monster in episode 6 despite the common prejudice humans have towards monsters from Hellsalem's Lot.
Despite having the powers of the All-seeing God's eyes, he refuses to abuse them for his own benefit. When an arrogant tourist beats Leo and takes his wallet, Leo refuses to use his eyes to attack the aggressor. Leo later tries to confront the aggressor with nothing more than an electrical katana which would not kill the man but only hurt him (despite having access to a large number of weapons that could've easily killed the man), demonstrating Leo's pacifistic nature and kind heart.
According to Michella, Leonardo never backed down and did not know how to turn his back against an enemy. She compared this to how a tortoise was unable to walk backwards which was why she tended to lovingly call him her Tortoise Knight.
Powers and abilities
After his encounter with the entity Riga El Menuhyut, he was forcibly implanted with new eyes that were known as the All-Seeing Eyes of the Gods (神々の義眼 Kamigami no Gigan?). These afforded him heightened visual senses whereby he was able to see movements that were impossible for the human eye and even see minute details with clarity. The greatest feature of the All-Seeing Eyes was their ability to see 'the Truth' around them whereby they could see past world altering illusions and perceive the unique aura of an individual.
Watch could not use the Eyes for extended period of times as prolonged use of its powers cause it to overheat and literally boil in his eye socket thus leaving him in incredible pain. A feature of the eyes was that they healed themselves whenever they suffered any sustained damage.
