Biography
1998 anime
Character
Appearance
Legato is about as tall as Vash, with a slender build and broad shoulders. He has overgrown blue hair, the bangs of which cover his left eye. Aesthetically speaking, he is an unusually beautiful man.
For clothes, he wears a black long-sleeved turtleneck paired with waist-high gray pants that have a skinny leg. Over this outfit he wears a long white duster with a high collar and prominent lapels (the left lapel has a notch taken out of it). The sleeves on the jacket are short, and are cuffed with metal rings (iron?). The right shoulder of the jacket bulges into a spherical shape and has a set of wicked-looking impalement spikes protruding from it. The left arm of the jacket has a skull lashed to it. To complete the outfit, Legato also wears fingerless gloves and leather boots that are cuffed at the ankles with metal rings. He wears a weird metal ring around his right thigh like a garter.
Personality
Legato is a "straw nihilist".
Occupation
Legato serves as Knives' second-in-command and the de facto leader of the Gung-Ho-Guns (he is the first Gung-Ho-Gun). His primary job is to cause Vash eternal pain and suffering on Knives' behalf, presumably for injuring him during the events that annihilated July.
Family
He has no canonical family.
Relationships
Legato's relationship to Knives is that of a devoted worshipper and faithful servant. His relationship to Vash is that of a bully or antagonist. His relationship to the Gung-Ho-Guns is that of "boss" (though Midvalley the Hornfreak (disambiguation) serves as a kind of personal assistant). His relationship to himself is one of loathing and contempt. Legato does not have a relationship with the insurance girls, except to take them hostage in order to provoke Vash into shooting him. He has no canonical lovers.
Weapons
Telepathy
Legato's weapon is his mind. He is able to take control of another person's mind and body, and make them do his bidding (they may or may not be conscious of what's happening). He can also project mental images into a person's mind, and seemingly astral project.
Though it isn't outright stated, the source of Legato's power is thought to be Vash's left arm - this was grafted to his body at some point prior to the events of the series.
