Count Leofric

“	I've taken it upon myself to guide us through these dark times.	”
—Count Leofric, Requiem for the Forgotten Shadow

Count Leofric was a minor character, and minor antagonist, seen in the thirteenth Dark Parables game, Requiem for the Forgotten Shadow.

He is a lesser noble in the town of Anaben and the High Priest of the Brotherhood.

Count Leofric is not based on any particular fairytale character.

Appearance and Personality[]

Count Leofric was a fierce-looking man with wavy, dark blond hair, grey eyes, and a full beard and mustache. He was dressed in lavish red and black clothing but would also don a grey cloak that hid his face in shadow.

Although Count Leofric liked to give the impression that he was a brave, heroic man, in truth he was cruel and selfish.

History[]

Leofric's life before the events of Requiem for the Forgotten Shadow is unknown except that he joined the Secret Brotherhood and eventually rose to High Priest. Leofric was seen in Duke Herman's castle as a hooded figure. He got into the castle via a secret passage. For unexplained reasons, he was outside on the balcony, waiting for the Duchess, Elena. Catching her by surprise, he took her shadow by using a candle. After the Duke and Duchess left, he took another civilian's shadow before preventing the Detective from stopping him with the use of a ruby ring.

He later appeared, announcing to the people of Anaben that he would help the town since the Duke had left.

He found the last shadow within one of his henchmen and left, but not before ordering his other henchman to take care of the "nuisance".

At the ceremony, Guida appeared, ordering Leofric to give her the candle. When he didn't, she turned him into a stone statue before breaking him into pieces killing him.
