Legato Bluesummers is one of the main characters in Trigun Stampede.

Biography

In Stampede

Legato first appears in episode six, as part of Wolfwood's flashback. Wolfwood tries to escape from the Eye of Michael prison block by jumping out of a giant window, but he is crunched up right before achieving freedom. When next we see him, he is in a holding cell whose doors part to reveal Legato. Legato tells Wolfwood he's working for the EoM now, despite his resistance. The two men verbally spar with each other, with Legato crushing Wolfwood into the floor in retaliation for being called a blue-haired freak. He then presents Livio - the closest thing Wolfwood has to a brother - and says that if Wolfwood won't do the job, he'll just have Livio do it instead. This at least gets Wolfwood working for Legato, albeit reluctantly.

In the present day, Legato presumably sets up a meeting between Wolfwood and Livio onboard the sand steamer that's supposed to take Vash to the city of July. To up the ante, Legato uses telekinesis to break one of the drive shafts within the sand steamer and put it on a crash course with the Hopeland Orphanage - the place Wolfwood grew up. Legato's reasoning is that if he can eliminate all emotional ties that Wolfwood has, then he can make Wolfwood into the perfect believer. The reason he is so dead-set on Wolfwood is because Wolfwood has the rare physiological distinction of being able to tolerate all of the weird drugs that the EoM has given him with minimal side-effects - it would take forever to find another human like that. At any rate, Legato is ultimately unsuccessful at crashing the sand steamer into the orphanage. He orders Zazie to retrieve Livio because Livio is still useful.

It remains to be seen if Stampede will get into Legato's backstory and how he met Knives, though some tantalizing lore recently dropped from a Stampede staff member on Twitter (check the very last tweet).

Character

Appearance

Legato is slender, with an incredibly toned physique. He has cerulean blue hair that's parted on the side, causing his long bangs to flop over his right eye. Aesthetically, he looks very beautiful.

Legato's outfit consists of white pants fastened at the waist with a belt and tucked into calf-high white boots. Tucked into the pants is a form-fitting black shirt, and over this shirt he wears a cropped white jacket with long sleeves. The right sleeve is normal, with a cuff at the wrist, but the left sleeve is fully enclosed, ending in a glove that has a pattern traced onto it in blue. The left sleeve also bears an emblem that looks like a spider with a skull-shaped body, and is topped with spikes in a fan shape.

Personality

Legato comes across as a sadist and sociopath. He is also a fanatic devotee - he strives to be like Knives in every way, including being cold and emotionless. However, he is not perfect, and every so often the mask will slip to reveal a man who is actually very passionate and driven.

Occupation

Legato serves as the de facto leader of the Eye of Michael cult, using them to further Master Knives' agenda.

Family

He has no canonical family at this time.

Relationships

Legato's relationship to Knives is that of a devoted worshipper and faithful servant. His relationship to Wolfwood is that of a cruel boss or master. His relationships to Conrad and Zazie are ones of grudging tolerance laced with contempt. It is unknown at this point what his relationship with Vash will be like. He has no canonical lovers as of yet.

Weapons & Abilities

Telekinesis

Legato has the ability to manipulate physical matter without physical contact. The series has not yet revealed how he came by this ability - all he has said is that it isn't electrical or nerve impulses. One sleeve of his jacket has an emblem on it that may serve to amplify or enhance this power. It is unknown at this time if Legato can also manipulate minds.
