Personality[]

He was an idealistic egalitarian who shared the same vision of the perfect world as Asta, one where nobody would be treated as inferior because they lacked magic and where everyone could get along peacefully. However, his overwhelming sorrow and need for retribution towards those who killed his beloved and betrayed him impaired his judgment. Consequently, he plotted the catastrophic destruction of the Clover Kingdom, with the intention of trapping the souls of its citizens within the Sword of the First Wizard King in order to resurrect those he deemed worthy of his new peaceful world. In battle, he shows a level of resilience and determination similar to Asta's, to which he can relate.

Biography[]

As predecessor of Julius Novachrono, Conrad Leto was respected and loved by the citizens of the Clover Kingdom until he suddenly rebelled against his nation.[5] It is said that Conrad was born into a noble family, however due to his magic's unique ability to steal magic and unlock anything with his keys, he was ostracized for having thief-like magic by those around him, leading to a lonely childhood. To make matters worse, he was young and his control over his magic was too weak, making it harder to be recognized as anything less than a weakling that lacked any real magic.

As he grew older, Conrad worked hard to gain more control over his magic and eventually he found the true strength and value of his magic, causing people to fear him and recognize him as a potential threat. This lead to the gap between him and those surrounding him to slowly widen, as they never truely came to an understanding. This disheartened Conrad, yet he continued to better himself and became a Magic Knight, eventually meeting Julius Novachrono and a young woman from the forsaken realm, Lovilia. Meeting these two began to open Conrad up more to those around him, as he became more trusting and began earning more achievements within the magic knights, eventually becoming the captain of his own squad, the White Serpent, with Lovilia becoming his Vice-Captain, and later his wife.

His achievements would later become recognized by everyone in the kingdom, and he was then crowned as the 27th Wizard King, finally earning respect from those who had previously shunned him. This, however, would not last as one day a mission that was tasked for his squad was revealed to be a trap orchestrated by a faction of royals that hated him. This resulted in the deaths of not only his squad, but his wife as well, which devastated Conrad. Realizing that he was living a lie and thinking that the Kingdom he loved was corrupt beyond his control, a distraught and angry Conrad decided to take matters into his own hands and fix the corruption by building a new country without the prejudice and discrimination he faced during his childhood.

He tried and failed to fix these issues during his reign as the Wizard King, as the royals, nobles, and politicians continued to ruin Conrads' dream of changing society. Conrad's resentments lead to him to the conclusion that the only way to truly change the country, was to rebuild it. As he immersed himself in research of ancient magics and tools, he eventually stole the national treasure of the kingdom, Elsdocia and began to plan a rebellion.

This plan was cut short however, as 10 years ago, he fought Julius in an attempt to use the First Wizard King's Sword to destroy the entire kingdom during his rebellion, but was sealed away by Julius' Time Magic along with the Sword, in order stop him. After this, he was locked away and his death was faked and announced to the whole kingdom, and a couple of years later Julius was crowned as his successor, becoming the 28th Wizard King. After Elf Patolli killed Julius, the seal disappeared leading to Conrad's comeback after so many years of being trapped, along with reviving 3 previous Wizard Kings: Princia Funnybunny, Jester Garandros, and Edward Avalaché to assist him.
