Leon Bronev

"It is perfect weather for a day of world domination!"

- Leon Bronev

Leon Bronev is the secondary main antagonist in the second trilogy of the videogame series Professor Layton and had his first appearance in "Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask". He acts as the main antagonist of the sixth and last game and is the leader of a criminal organization called Targent. Like Jean Descole, Bronev wants the three legacies of the Azran Civilisation.

The Miracle Mask
To get the Mask of Chaos and the Mask of Order, he took a room in the Reunion Inn, the hotel in which Jean Descole and the Masked Gentleman had established their hideout.

In the end, he captures Descole after he discovered the Infinite Vault of Akbadain with hos private army and tries to unmask him. Suddenly, Descole's butler Raymond saves him by throwing a smoke bomb between the TARGENT agents. When the smoke's clear, Descole has disappeared and Broneph secures the ruins of Akbadain.

The Azran Legacy
He appears in a cave in the snowy town called Froenborg, after Professor Layton and professor Sycamore released a girl related to the Azran Civilization from an ice wall. He kidnaps the girl and takes her with him in his giant warplane.

In the end, he raises the Azran Dolls and has to redeem himself to stop them, as they want to destroy the world. He is arrested afterwards, alongside the remainder of Targent, by Inspector Grosky; as he did so, he apologized to Layton, calling him by his birth name, Theodore Bronev. Layton refused to answer by that name, saying he was called "Hershel Layton", and that Leon had no right to call himself a father. However, Layton then said that he hope one day he and Leon can become friends, regardless of their past.
