The commander of Platina, the Upper World of the tower. His political skills allowed him to go straight up the political ladder to his current position. He has a solid popularity among the people of Platina. Leard is Lyner's father. He wants Lyner to succeed him, so he has tried to teach Lyner the ways of politics since he was small. However, Lyner had a strong yearning for adventure, and picked the sword over the pen. Leard was very disappointed by this, and their relationship has been awkward since. He still has hope that Lyner might become interested in politics, but lyner has no intention, and they always end up fighting. [Edited from Ar Tonelico Official Site]
