Biography
Fuego Leon was born as the oldest son of House Vermilion. He spends most of his childhood and early adulthood alongside his younger brother. He develops a strong bond with the latter as he trains him to improve his ability. In the meanwhile, Fuego Leon also forges a rivalry with one of his distant relatives, Noselle Silva. The relationship is preserved, even after both of them are inducted into their respective squad of the Magic Knights.

One day, Fuego Leon marks himself with a diamond-shaped symbol on his forehead as he vows to become the next Magic Emperor. When Leopold asks him of it, he explains to him the weight of the symbol within their family. During his tenure as the captain of the Crimson Lion squad, Fuego Leon attends one of the Magic Knight entrance exams where Rades, a commoner, is the best performing mage of the exam.

One day, six years later, Fuego Leon returns back to the Noble region after preventing a foreign invasion along with the Magic Emperor and several other captains of the Magic Knights squad. The moment they arrived, they are welcomed with cheers and joy by the Noble region's citizens.

Six months later, Fuego Leon attends a Magic Knights Entrance Exam in which Asta and Yuno are participating, along with his younger brother. During the exam, Fuego Leon becomes curious on the reason behind Asta's inability to fly using the broom that was given to him. At the end of the exam, Fuego Leon recruited one of the participants into his ranks before leaving the venue.

Sometime later, Fuego Leon is invited to a War Merits Conferment Ceremony that would honor his brother at the Magic Knights headquarters. While they are waiting for Julius at the venue, the said Magic Emperor arrives while bringing 5 young Knights along with him to attend the ceremony as well. At the end of the ceremony, Fuego Leon proceeds on attending a celebratory banquet that the Emperor had prepared.

After Julius Nova Chrono left the banquet hall, the situation goes awry when several Knights are clashing with the Knights that were brought by Julius. Seeing that the conflict is going for the worse possibility when Noselle steps in to reprimand Asta, the Crimson Lion captain quickly prevents his fellow captain from conducting the act of attacking a young Magic Knight.

Fuego Leon tries to reason with him by saying that Julius whom brought him to the ceremony must have already acknowledged Asta's worth. Unfortunately, the tension between the captains rise when Noselle retaliate by passively insulting Fuego Leon's family. As both captains release a hostile pressure of magical power, someone enters the hall and informs the Knights that the Royal Capital has been invaded.

Hearing the report, Fuego Leon immediately conduct a strategy meeting with the other Knights to get a grasp of the situation. The moment, Leopold Vermilion leaves the hall to follow Asta, Fuego Leon swiftly takes charge of the situation and deploys orders to the Knights. He also prepares to leave as he takes Noelle Silva with him and tries to catch up with his brother. Arriving at the North District of the Royal Capital, after catching up with Leopold, the three of them are immediately surrounded by an army of corpses. Realizing that their enemies are already dead, Fuego Leon proceeds on decimating all of them with his fire spells.

During the fight, Fuego Leon also manages to save Noelle from the corpses' attack when he notices that her mind is not in the battlefield. He immediately approaches her and reprimands her for her behavior while also giving her a few words of encouragement.

Later on, after observing that Asta is struggling against his opponent, Fuego Leon immediately interferes the fight by incinerating the mage's corpse henchman, "Alfred". He then assures Asta that he had given a good effort by praising his tenacity. The Crimson Lion's captain then proclaimed the young Knight as his rival as well due to the latter's ambition to become the next Magic Emperor before preparing to fight Rades.

Subsequently, Fuego Leon managed to prevent Asta from overexerting himself before questioning Rades about his reason on invading the Royal Capital. Fuego Leon then remembers him from a Magic Knight entrance exam from six years ago after Rades revealed his identity. As he disagrees on Rades' reason for the attack, The Crimson Lion's captain begins his assault on Rades after he checked on his little brother. To his surprise, Rades' new corpse, "Carl", was able to withstand his attack with its defense magic spell. As the fight continues, Fuego Leon also asks Asta to watch his fight and learn something from it.

While seemingly being cornered by "Carl"'s attack, Fuego Leon unleashes an attack that easily incinerates "Carl". He then starts a speech that encourages Leopold and Noelle to defeat their opponent while crushing Rades' fighting spirit. Afterwards, Fuego Leon immediately restrains Rades with his magic after Leopold and Noelle defeated his last corpse.

As he confiscates Rades' grimoire, Fuego Leon learns that Rades is only capable of using a single spell. Once again, Fuego Leon questions Rades of his group's true objective in which the latter reveals that he is their target from the beginning. At that moment, Fuego Leon is suddenly being teleported to an unknown location where he meets an unexpected person. After a while, Fuego Leon is sent back to the Royal Capital while he is unconscious and lost his right arm.

As his grimoire begins to disintegrate, Noelle desperately tries to stop Fuego Leon's bleeding and prevent him from dying. When the other Magic Knights arrive at their location, Mimosa Vermilion proceeds on healing him after the enemies had escaped. However, his cousin finds her abilities are not enough to heal Fuego Leon and suggest the Knights to take him to a medical ward. Fuego Leon is then taken into the medical ward alongside his brother, where he is healed by several mages. Unfortunately, they are uncertain whether the nobleman would ever regain his consciousness.
