Ledior Vaude

Ledior is proud, status-conscious, demanding, and deeply invested in his family's reputation. He expects his sons to preserve House Vaude's long tradition of offensive Spatial Magic.

Finral's inability to produce destructive spatial attacks therefore becomes a source of disappointment. Rather than recognizing the tactical value of his elder son's transport magic, Ledior treats it as evidence that Finral lacks the strength required to lead the family.

Langris receives the opposite treatment. His exceptional offensive talent earns Ledior's approval and eventually the position of heir, reinforcing the younger brother's conviction that power determines worth.

Ledior possesses Spatial Magic, the rare attribute strongly associated with House Vaude.

His demonstrated magic allows him to manipulate space, though the series gives little detail about his personal spell repertoire compared with Finral and Langris.

House Vaude's long history is specifically associated with offensive Spatial Magic, suggesting that Ledior's expectations for his sons are rooted in the family's established magical tradition.

Ledior marries his first wife and has Finral. After her death, he marries Liliane Vaude, with whom he has Langris.

While the boys are still young, Ledior arranges for Finesse Calmreich, a member of House Kira, to marry the eventual heir of House Vaude.

As Langris becomes vice-captain of the Golden Dawn while Finral serves in the poorly regarded Black Bulls, Ledior formally chooses Langris to succeed him.

After the Royal Knights Selection Exam, Ledior and Liliane are summoned before Augustus Kira Clover XIII because of Langris's dangerous behavior.

During the elf crisis, Ratri possesses Langris and attacks his own family. Finral creates an escape portal for Ledior, Liliane, and Finesse but refuses to leave because he intends to save his brother.

Finral Roulacase is Ledior's eldest son. Ledior considers his support-oriented Spatial Magic inadequate for House Vaude's heir and repeatedly treats him as a disappointment.

Langris Vaude is Ledior's younger son and eventual chosen heir because his destructive Spatial Magic fits the family's expectations.

Liliane Vaude is Ledior's second wife and Langris's mother.

Finesse Calmreich is the noblewoman arranged to marry whichever son ultimately becomes head of House Vaude.

Augustus Kira Clover XIII summons Ledior to answer for Langris's actions after the Royal Knights Selection Exam.
