Appearance
Langris is a young man with a small build and slightly girlish appearance. He has thick, wavy hair that is swept up at the back, but left to fall over his forehead and face in the front. Like his brother, he has large, downturned eyes and a generally amiable expression on his face most of the time.

He wears one of Golden Dawn's full uniforms with a high-collared belted top, light pants, and knee high boots. He also wears the hooded Golden Dawn mantle, with a longer knee-length cape attached. Like other knights, the insignia of his squad is on the left shoulder but he also has a smaller badge pinned next to it.

Personality
Langris has a pleasant, happy-go-lucky personality. He smiles even in the midst of battle, and possesses a great deal of confidence in his abilities.

Biography
Langris was born into House Vaude, which has long been known for their prowess with offensive Spatial Magic. Even at a young age Langris shows more promise than his older brother at this magic, and is called a genius by the rest of his family. When introduced to Fiones, the fiancée of the next head of House Vaude, Langris finds her boring. Later he eavesdrops on her and Finral's discussion and is angered when she considers Finral to be the superior brother.

Years later he joins the Magic Knights and after becoming vice-captain of the Golden Dawn squad, Langris also becomes the next family head instead of his older brother.

When the Diamond Kingdom attacks Kiten, fourteen members, including William Vangeance, Langris, and Yuno, arrive to drive the invaders back. After seeing Yuno's display against Broccos, William suggests that he and Langris join the battle, with which Langris agrees. As Yargos is absorbing the Violet Orcas, Langris approaches and uses his magic to sever a large portion of the snail, a part of Yargos himself, and accidentally a section of a building behind.

After the Black Bulls encounter Yuno, Langris appears on a rooftop and proceeds to insult his brother, but when Langris insults Charmy Papittoson and Asta, Finral confronts his brother. Suddenly Langris is attacked but easily defends himself. Yargos is seeking revenge and has taken multiple citizens as hostages. Langris determines that he cannot defeat Yargos without killing the citizens and decides to sacrifice them, but Asta stops him. After the Black Bulls work together to defeat Yargos, Finral challenges Langris and Golden Dawn.

When the Black Bulls leave, Langris joins Yuno on the ground stating that they were a vulgar group and that Yuno should choose his friends more carefully. Yuno states that he is proud of Asta and that Asta is his rival, which causes Langris to laugh and ask for what they are competing. Yuno answers that they are aiming for the title of Magic Emperor. Laughing, Langris says that commoners must not feel embarrassment and adds that he would expect nothing less from the peasant chosen by a four-leaf grimoire. Yuno then announces that he first plans to become the Captain of the Golden Dawn, which Langris angrily notes overlooks him, the vice-captain.

After Yuno's achievements are acknowledged at the Star Awards Festival, Langris stands to the side and thinks to himself. During the king's speech, Langris is surprised by the announcement of the Royal Knights Selection Exam.

A week later, Langris attends the exam and is placed on Team G with Sekke Bronzazza and Fragil Tormenta. After listening to the other Magic Knights praise Finral's skill, Langris has Sekke carry them on his Shooting Star and, once in range, easily destroys Team H's crystal and its defense, winning the match for Team G.

Afterwards, Langris approaches his brother and warns him to be careful in their next match as their parents and a certain someone would be sad if Finral were killed by Langris' magic, but Finral claims that he will beat Langris so that will not happen, which Langris finds amusing.

During their second match, Langris again rides around on Sekke's scooter. When they locate Team E, Langris attacks the crystal but Finral blocks it with his own Spatial Magic. Langris issues a barrage of attacks for Finral to block and questions if Finral can keep up. Finral releases a slow moving spell, which Sekke scoot around. To Langris' surprise, the spell changes direction and Langris jumps off the scooter and watches as Sekke is warped away. Finral declares that he does not wish to hurt Langris, who is disgusted by Finral's concern. The Golden Dawn then opens his grimoire and reveals his own spell.
