Legato then goads Vash into coming to the city of [[Places (anime)|Augusta]] to fight with him. When Vash gets there, he is confronted first by [[EG Mine]] and then challenged to a fight with [[Rai-Dei the Blade]]. Legato invades Vash's mind and pushes him into fully activating his Angel Arm, annihilating the city of Augusta in the process. Legato and Midvalley watch the mayhem unfold from atop a distant scarp of rock, where Legato reveals to him that this was the exact same thing that caused the annihilation of [[Places (anime)|July]] 23 years prior. | Legato then goads Vash into coming to the city of [[Places (anime)|Augusta]] to fight with him.

Legato appears again when [[Leonoff the Puppetmaster]] infiltrates the semi-intact SEEDS ship that Vash is visiting and reports back to him what's going on. This is when he realizes that [[Nicholas D. Wolfwood (anime)|Nicholas D. Wolfwood]] has turned traitor, and also realizes how he can take advantage of that to make Vash truly suffer. Legato's plan presumably plays out in the episode "Paradise", when he has [[Chapel the Evergreen]] confront Wolfwood about proving his loyalty and killing Vash. Chapel challenges him to a duel, but surprisingly loses. Wolfwood decides to spare Chapel, trusting that his old mentor won't shoot him when he turns his back. Legato, however, takes control of Chapel's body and makes him shoot Wolfwood anyway, killing him. Chapel is angry enough to try and seek vengeance by killing Legato, but is unsuccessful. Knives has healed by this time, so Legato assumes that he's no longer needed and decides to go out in dramatic fashion. He has Vash meet him on a scarp of rock above [[Places (anime)|LR Town]], where he forces Vash to deliberately kill him. He dies smiling, knowing that he's likely broken Vash mentally. | Legato appears again when [[Leonoff the Puppetmaster]] infiltrates the semi-intact SEEDS ship that Vash is visiting and reports back to him what's going on.

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. | For clothes, he wears a black long-sleeved turtleneck paired with waist-high gray pants that have a skinny leg.

He exudes an aura of power and total control. He seems to have a sadistic streak, though it's debatable as to whether he actually gets pleasure out of tormenting his victims or whether he's simply teaching them about his personal beliefs. Legato can also be passive-aggressive and is given to deadpan sarcasm, though he doesn't seem to emote much vocally. | ||

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. | Legato serves as Knives' second-in-command and the ''de facto'' leader of the Gung-Ho-Guns (he is the first Gung-Ho-Gun).
