As for the new topic.

We know that Leonhart betrayed his homeland and killed his brother because that's what it says in his album booklet (which granted you guys can't read but for some reason I'd assumed Misstress filled you in on that point). He fell in love with Anne, betrayed his country, killed his brother, then safely made it into Lucifenia where he sore allegiance to Arth and Anne. He also alludes to this in his revised death scene in Cloture. I am certain that it's intended to be him.

I remember discussing Leonhart's revised death scene with Servy on tumblr once, and how Leonhart refered to a man who had killed his brother for love of a woman, with it appearing to be a direct relation to something Leonhart himself may have did. So the moment the song mentioned red clothes, killing your brother and being a traitor, my mind was screaming Leonhart.

I think it adds complexity to the character, really.
