LEGATO BLUESUMMERS SPOILER!
LB
The deeply unsettling, fanatically loyal right-hand man to Millions Knives. Legato possesses terrifying telekinetic powers, allowing him to mind-control entire crowds of people, forcing them to mutilate themselves or turn on each other with a simple wave of his hand. He lives solely to fulfill Knives’ dream, orchestrating a series of sadistic psychological games designed to push Vash the Stampede past his breaking point and force him to break his sacred vow to never kill.

The group's de facto leader and Knives' most devoted follower, operating with telepathic powers that let him manipulate people from a distance without lifting a weapon himself. In the anime specifically, he's also revealed to possess Vash's actual left arm, a detail unique to this continuity.

The fight the entire anime has been building toward, and the one time Vash's pacifism actually fails him. Legato manipulates the confrontation into a situation where Vash is forced to choose between his vow and someone else's life. THE BREAKDOWN: everything about this fight is designed around taking away every option except the one Vash swore he'd never take. It's not a loss of control, it's a controlled, deliberate trap sprung by someone who understood Vash's morality better than Vash did.
