Cor Leonis



Cor Leonis is one of the most prominent allies of Prince Noctis and his royal retinue. The Marshal of the Crownsguard and the most powerful fighter in the Lucis kingdom, Cor becomes the leader of the survivors of mankind as he assembles the remaining Kingsglaive, former Crownsguards and Hunters as well as rebel soldiers to protect those unable to fight.

Appearance
Cor is a middle-aged man with short, brown hair. He has light blue eyes and wears a black, collared jacket with skull-shaped buttons. Cor wears a black, skull-print shirt, black trousers, and black boots with red soles.

Ten years later, the 55-year-old Cor wears the Kingsglaive attire and has a beard.

Personality
Cor is a stubborn, stern, no-nonsense military man who has sworn loyalty to King Regis and his country. He is strict with Prince Noctis and his friends, and while he does not always see eye-to-eye with them, he is duty-bound to watch over them. He is calm when dealing with Noctis's wayward personality, offering him advice. He and Gladiolus also became good friends after Cor agrees to take Gladiolus to Gilgamesh. Cor at first tries to dissuade Gladiolus from doing such, knowing fully well he cannot hope to defeat Gilgamesh, but as he bonds with the current Shield of the King, Cor begins to display a more somber personality regarding his failure to emerge victorious over Gilgamesh, made worse by the fact that even though he cut off the Blademaster's arm, he was barely spared from death, which humbled his initial arrogance. In the end, Cor passes on to Gladiolus Clarus's wisdom and allows him to take on Gilgamesh when he still decides to do so and is clearly proud on how Gladiolus manages to finally do what he couldn't do. He knows he isn't going to be with Noctis for long due to the orders from Regis as to the Crownsguard's new purpose, and warns him not to get too comfortable with the idea of having him around. Cor is implied to detest his moniker as the Immortal, seeing it as a reminder that he has outlived the bloodline he swore to protect.
