He is a loyal friend to his fellow King's Knights. He likes to stay healthy by running around the King's Castle. Although he is skilled with a spear, he is not skilled at wielding a sword.

In LEGO Legacy: Heroes Unboxed, Lionel the Lion Soldier is a Builder attacker. His basic ability is "Pikeman"; his special abilities are "Swirling Strike" and "Spear Swinger"; and his passive abilities are "Loyal Soldier" and "Fear Not".

King’s Knight
Everyone's best friend - always there for his mates. He likes to run, so he scouts the area around the castle maybe 20 times every day. It helps him stay in shape and sleep really well at night.
