Leonard Blackwell



"One Texan man named Leonard Blackwell must give Ruby Rose some vindication and pardon Team RWBY for their actions since he would go on to end the USRAC War once and for all. I knew how he opposed the How I Can Help Make the World Great ceremony since he was shocked by the leaked information about the said essay competition's rules that are so horrible that it would inflect more harm than good to mankind, and saving the world is my greatest endeavor like what he's doing."

--Su Ji-Hoon, Blackwell

Supreme Commander Leonard Blackwell is a new character introduced in When the Cold Breeze Blows Away.

Born and raised in the Lone Star State, Leonard hails from a family that can trace its proud military heritage as far back as the Texan Revolution of 1835. Throughout the decades, there had always been at least one Blackwell who fought and died in one of America's many conflicts. As such, the Supreme Commander of the United Army of the Sweet Allies is well known for his rather romaticised faith in destiny and the nonchalant attitude towards mortality that comes with it. Detractors have often denounced him as a careless thrillseeker and glory hound.

Leonard is also Nathan Bradford's best friend and was held in high regard by his fellow allies, including the Inkwell Isle Girls themselves.

He is around 45 years old, has brown eyes, black hair, and wears a navy blue-colored United States Armed Forces officer uniform.
