Introduction

Leonardo first appears in Immortal in Death as the designer of Eve's wedding dress. He married Mavis in Born in Death shortly before she delivers their daughter, Bella Eve. They currently live together in Eve's old apartment.

Descriptions

  • In Immortal in Death he is described as appearing to have a Native American heritage, a wide face, razor cheekbones, fingers the size of soydogs, ham-sized hands, and copper skin-tone.[2]
    • He is an enormous man, built like a maxibus with huge rippling biceps, and unexpected grace. He had tight, shoulder-length curls and his laugh was booming.[3] His voice has a hint of magnolia (possibly Southern).[4]
  • In Conspiracy in Death he is described as having the spirit of a seven-year-old boy on the first day of school.
  • In Judgment in Death, Leonardo is described as a giant man with long glossy braids, gold eyes, and the smooth copper skin of a mixed-race heritage ... he moved with uncanny grace for a man topping six-five.[5]
  • He has a caramel-colored face, soft, curling hair and gold eyes.[6]
  • He was big, copper-skinned and currently sported a style of sausage twists of hair.[7]

Personality

  • Mavis said he is incredibly creative and understands the inner soul.[8]
  • Dr. Mira describes him as the type to avoid violence by running away from it. However, he is a creative genius with clothing and fashion, a man who "understood women."[9]
    • He was a man who adored women and understood their wrath. In other words, he feared them.[10] Eve said she liked him, "even if he is a pussy."[11]
  • Mavis said that you couldn't really fight with Leonardo; he's too sweet.[12]
  • Leonardo blushes.[13]

History

  • He's first introduced as an up-and-coming designer with a 3rd floor loft workshop in a Soho neighborhood. Leonardo is invited by Mavis to design Eve's wedding dress in Immortal in Death.[14]
    • It seemed Leonardo believed in advertising in a big way.[15]
  • He designed Eve's dress and sold it to her at his cost, for a promise ... that he would be allowed to design Mavis's dress as her attendant, and that she'll use his designs for her trousseau. Eve agreed.[16]
    • Wedding dress: It had long lines, the most subtle of accents at the bodice, sleeves that came to soft, rounded points just at the back of the hand. The back was as sleek and elegant as the front, with a slit to the knees. It's silk, of a good weight, and bronze in color. He recommended two necklaces, twenty-four and thirty inches in length (60.96-76.2 cm); copper for the necklaces with colored stones, rubies, citrine, onyx, carnelian and, perhaps, tourmaline.[17]
  • Mavis and Leonardo had been sleeping together for about two weeks in Immortal in Death (June, 2058); which means they would have been together since late May, 2058.[18]

Interesting Facts

  • Leonardo rarely drinks because he's prone to blackouts and blank spaces.[19]
  • Mavis and Leonardo knew Morris and Amaryllis Coltraine slightly. They ran into each other at a club one night and sat down together.[20]
  • Mavis calls him 'honey-pot'[21] 'honey bear'[22] and 'huggie bear'.[23]
  • Louise and Leonardo got together to decide on Eve's yellow maid-of-honor dress.[24]
