Not to mention they both have the same English voice actors. But both series were made by different studios with different character designers.

Not only were they voiced by Crispin Freeman but they are sort of the same personality wise, in being Tall, Dark, Handsome and Noticibly-Lacking-a-Sense-of-Humor Very Happy . And both wear large, flowing coats/cloaks. But, nonetheless, they are both great characters. Cool

s-CRY-ed and Gundam Seed... or was it Fafner?... are two others that have the same character design from a person who tends to recycle characters.

Gundam Seed and Fafner are remarkably similar. Kazuki from Fafner looks really similar to Athrun from Gundam. Different colour eyes and hair though.

well tall, dark and angular is a pretty common stereotype in many series, not just anime ones.

Though it is worth noting that LE came out after WHR so if anything LE coped WHR (which copied any number of other 'gothic' style things)
