Legeiel (レジエル, Rejieru)[1] is one of the three Megid generals alongside Zooous and Storious. After being defeated by Saber, he allows Storious to enhance the Legeiel Alter Ride Book to transform into Legeiel Forbidden (レジエル・フォビドゥン, Rejieru Fobidun).[2]
History[]
Background[]
Legeiel smiling with his companions upon arriving in the Wonder World.
Two thousand years ago, Legeiel was part of a group of travelers alongside Viktor, Storious, Zooous, and the first Master Logos to search for Wonder World in hopes of benefitting humanity. After meeting a mysterious priestess, the five venture into Wonder World and become the first humans to witness the Almighty Book. However, Legeiel and Zooous were tempted by Storious to take the Almighty Book's power for their own. The three attempted to steal the tome by tearing out the pages, embedding it into themselves and becoming the Megid. Over the last two thousand years, the Megid used the pages to create the Alter Ride Books and build a vast army to fight the Sword of Logos.
A Chance Rises Again[]
Legeiel instructs Golem Megid.
Fifteen years after the tragedy of the Sword of Logos, Legeiel was given Gansekiou Golem Alter Ride Book by Kamen Rider Calibur and sent out to emerge a new world. Eager to get started, Legeiel headed to a city to summoned the Golem Megid. With its powers, Legeiel had it trap a portion of the city using the Blank Wonder Ride Book that it summoned. However, they quickly faced an obstacle in the form of the new Kamen Rider Saber, who destroyed the Golem Megid.
The Megid triumvirate overwhelm the swordsmen.
Eventually, Legeiel and the other Megid put their plan into motion, with help from Calibur. They created giant books at six points in the city that formed a ring and created a portal connecting Earth to Wonder World, which also contained the Almighty Book. While Calibur flew inside the portal, the triumvirate assumed their Megid forms to hold off the Kamen Riders from the Sword of Logos' Northern Base. However, they were unable to stop Saber from entering the portal after Calibur. Ultimately, Kamen Rider Saber would thwart Calibur's attempt to obtain the Almighty Book.
The Forbidden Challenge[]
Legeiel tries to fight Saber Primitive Dragon.
Despite failing to obtain the Almighty Book, the Megid hatched a new plan to turn the humans connected to Wonder World into their kin. Legeiel followed suit by turning Yuki Shirai into the Yeti Megid. When Touma followed Storious after stealing a forbidden book in the Southern Base, Legeiel arrived to challenge the Flame Swordsman. However, Touma reacts to the forbidden book and becomes Saber Primitive Dragon, turning him completely feral. Despite Storious warning him to retreat, Legeiel stubbornly fought Saber, but was overwhelmed by his raw power.
Legeiel becomes Legeiel Forbidden.
Furious over his losing streak by Touma, Legeiel allowed Storious to enhance his Alter Ride Book using a forbidden technique, which gives it a new page and allowed himself to evolve into Legeiel Forbidden. Legeiel went on the rampage to lure Saber in a fight to prove his superiority. While Touma was still taming the Primitive Dragon, the other swordsmen held him off. Eventually Touma was able to gain control over Primitive Dragon thanks to unlocking the power of Elemental Dragon and prepared to battle Legeiel Forbidden.
Final Battle and Death[]
Legeiel's spirit smiling in his final moments.
Upon seeing Saber Elemental Primitive Dragon, Legeiel angrily questioned how a human could attain such power, to which Touma responded by that he was once a human like him. Legeiel regained the memories he had with his friends, causing him to furiously deny the truth and insist that he was always a Megid, before wildly attacking Saber. Saber Elemental Primitive Dragon would cause Legeiel to spasming as a side effect of his Forbidden form. Being finally freed from the cursed suffering he had to endure for over two thousand years, Legeiel's spirit smiles for one last time as his body exploded, ending him for good.
Post-Mortem[]
Legeiel and Zooous' spirits confront Storious.
During the final battle in the Tower of Destruction, Storious was visited by Legeiel and Zooous' spirits, who questioned how they had ended up as monsters. Though Storious replied their hopes were twisted into a bottomless lust for power. It would be revealed that Legeiel and Zooous' spirits were conjured by Luna in an attempt to get through to Storious.
Legeiel reunited with Storious and Zooous in the afterlife.
After Storious' plan was averted, Legeiel's spirit later appeared in the Wonder World alongside the spirits of Luna, Tassel, the first Master Logos and his former Megid allies to greet Touma after he became the Wonder World's guardian. Legeiel wished Touma good luck as the Wonder World's guardian.
Personality[]
Like Storious and Zooous, Legeiel appears to have at one point been a good-hearted person committed to bringing about a better standard of living for his fellow man. His good intentions stayed with him when he and the rest of Victor's party entered the Wonder World, but after glimpsing of the Great Book, Legeiel became corrupted by his desire to obtain it and teamed up with Storious and Zooous to steal it for their own selfish purposes, with the three using the pages they tore from it to become the original Megid.
As a Megid, Legeiel is very proactive and strategically minded. He has no compunction about entering battles himself and often does so frequently, while at the same time plotting his movements and coming up with plans to defeat his enemies. He acts quite arrogant towards humans, seeing himself and his fellow Megid as superior beings to them despite Legeiel himself being originally a human, something he vehemently refuses to admit. In terms of his relationship with his fellow Megid leaders, while the three are working towards the same goal, they generally remain distant from each other, often exchanging snide remarks whenever one of their plans is thwarted by the Riders, with Storious being his main target of mocking. He is a more skilled planner than Zooous, but less so than Storious, and his strategies can sometimes be compounded if he is provoked into fury. While he normally acts composed, his sense of rationality and coolness is often marred by his rage over individual defeats that he suffers. After being beaten by Touma as Saber Primitive Dragon, Legeiel's judgement became more and more clouded by his desire to exact revenge on Touma, eventually leading him to undergo a dangerous and fatal upgrade just to become stronger.
