Plot
The Lion King's Awakening:

Lyonel's adventure begins with Volume 1 of the Light Novels, with him pretending to listen to a usual lecture in class. He introduces the four most popular girls in the school; Rias Gremory, Akeno Himejima, Souna Shitori, and Tsubaki Shinra, who are in his class. Lyonel is the only male student in the third year class. He has a chat with Rias after class, who he is friends with before leaving.

The next day, he encounters Hyoudou Issei, who introduces him to his girlfriend, Amano Yuuma. He shrugs it off while ignoring Issei's pestering about him getting a girlfriend before him. Later that day, he has a conversation with Rias and tells her about Issei getting a girlfriend.

Later that night, he receives a visit from Vali, who decided to drop by and asked him if he had awakened his Sacred Gear yet. He replies that he is not interested and hasn't tried to converse with it. Vali then talks about his unique heritage and tells him that he won't be able to live a normal life for long before leaving.

The next day, Lyonel found himself wondering what Vali was trying to tell him. Later that night, he encountered Issei at the park, who was being attacked by the Fallen Angel Dohnaseek. The Fallen Angel ignores him after he realized that he is a human and proceeds to attack Issei. Suddenly, he hears a voice in his head and interferes while introducing himself to the Fallen Angel. Dohnaseek returns the courtesy before engaging him. Lyonel then awakens his Sacred Gear and catches Dohnaseek off guard with a shockwave attack. Their fight is soon interrupted by the arrival of Rias and her peerage. He wonders what is going on before losing consciousness.

Both Vali and Azazel have stated that with his divine power inherited from his ancestor and the power of Regulus through Regulus Nemea that he could be one of the strongest beings there is.

Equipment
Regulus Nemea: One of the 13 Longinus, Regulus Nemea takes the form of a giant battle axe that resides the spirit of the Nemean Lion named Regulus. Regulus Nemea later takes on the form a golden sword due to Lyonel's preference of swords over axes. Aegis: The shield wielded by his ancestor to defeat the Gorgon, Medusa. It provides the wielder protection to travel through the Dimensional Gap.
 * Regulus Nemea Leather Cloth: Regulus Nemea's sub-species Balance Breaker that creates a golden, lion-themed armor along with Pegasus-like wings, that covers the user's body and adds the earth-breaking powers of Regulus to the user's own strength, resulting in a drastic power-up. The armor also protects the user from projectiles.
 * Breakdown the Beast: An ability similar to the Juggernaut Drive form of the Boosted Gear and Divine Dividing. The Breakdown the Beast temporarily removes the seal placed on the Nemean Lion granting the user immense power. The Breakdown the Beast, however, causes the user to lose sanity while having their lives devoured by the power. Lyonel, however, is able to avoid this using his large amount of divine powers as an alternative source of power instead of his lifespan; however, if used for for extended periods of time, it will eventually cause him to go berserk. Even after deactivation, Lyonel suffers from exhaustion.
 * Accel Harbinger Burstmode: A new enhanced form that surpasses the Breakdown the Beast. Lyonel obtained it after the past possessors acknowledged his strength. In this form, the color of his armor changes to metallic gold. Like Issei's and Vali's upgraded versions of their Juggernaut Drive, it does not consume his lifespan. In this form, Lyonel's powers are greatly increased and he can use more advanced techniques imbued with the full power of Regulus's earth-breaking powers.

Mantle of Invisibility: It changes and obscures the appearance of the wearer. Lyonel dons it while taking on the role as The Dark King.
