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.[1]
    • 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.[2] His voice has a hint of magnolia (possibly Southern).[3]
  • 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.[4]

  • He was big, copper-skinned and currently sported a style of sausage twists of hair.[6]

Personality[]

    • It seemed Leonardo believed in advertising in a big way.[7]
  • 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.[14]

Leonardo's Outfits/Appearance[]

Immortal in Death[]


  • He wore "a sleeveless robe in the eye-searing colors of a Martian sunset. He had a small, glinting stone winking beside his flashing grin and eyes like gold coins."[19]

Rapture in Death[]


  • "... a giant in a magenta skin suit overbloused with emerald gauze."[20]

Vengeance in Death[]


Judgment in Death[]


  • "... wearing a hooded ankle duster of Atlantic blue. He beamed at Mavis, and the ruby studs beside his mouth and just under his left eyebrow winked flirtatiously."[22]

Reunion in Death[]


  • "He was bare-chested but for a red satin X across his pecs that seemed to be holding up the fluid, shimmering pants that flowed from his waist to the toes of his red, crisscrossing sandals. Ruby studs forming a chevron at the corner of his left eye winked as he grinned and passed Mavis her glass."[23]

Portrait in Death[]


  • "He was draped in white, long, loose pants, long, loose shirt that flowed around his impressive body and gleamed against the gold-dust tone of his skin. He had a single pigtail draped down one side of his face, and like Mavis, had it tipped in pink and blue, and belled."[24]

Divided in Death[]


  • "... his casual cookout-wear of shimmery white pants and a bright yellow shirt that crossed over his impressive chest in a skin-tight X."[25]

Visions in Death[]


  • His eyes "were currently accented with a sweeping line of silver studs at each corner. He wore boots as well, pale blue that rode up his calves. There his loose sapphire pants sort of poofed into them, reminding Eve of pictures she'd seen of - she thought - Arabia."[26]

Memory in Death[]


  • "... the giant of a man in silver and red at her side."[27]

Born in Death[]


  • "He'd gone with a sweater as well, a crazed and intricate geometric pattern of colors against gold."[28]

Innocent in Death[]


  • "His at-home wear was a pair of brilliantly blue pants with legs as wide as Utah and a silky sweater in snow-blind white."[29]

Fantasy in Death[]


  • "... long, smoked silver coat... That same silver wound here and there through the rich copper curls that fell around his wide, fascinating face."[30]

Calculated in Death[]


  • For the New York premiere of The Icove Agenda: (Mavis) A cascade of shimmering blonde intersected with a multitude of thin purple braids that matched the color of her dress. Emerald green ribbons - the color of her shoes - twined around each braid. Beside her, Leonardo wore the emerald green in a long-jacketed tux with purple shirt and tie.[31]

Possession in Death[]


  • "...glided away in his calf-baring red crops."[32]

Obsession in Death[]


  • A mountain, but in fashionable trousers of dull gold and a knee-length vest over a black sweater...[33]

Apprentice in Death[]

  • A shiny, dome-shaped party hat on his long copper hair, manning the bar in a tunic the color of sapphires[34]

Leverage in Death[]


  • Leonardo on the red carpet at the Oscars: "Beside [Mavis], Leonardo wore one of those long tux jackets that skimmed to his knees in some sort of metallic fabric that shifted from emerald to sapphire."[35]

Connections in Death[]


  • "Leonardo resembled some sort of ancient pagan priest in a flowing vest shades deeper than his copper skin. His hair showered down to his shoulders in what looked like hundreds of thin braids."[36]

Desperation in Death[]


  • "...tall as a tree in his long red shirt, towered over the rest [of the group]. His hair, a gleaming copper, tumbled down, and eyes nearly the same color were dark with concern."[37]

Leonardo's Designs/Creations[]

Kindred in Death[]


  • Louise and Leonardo got together to decide on Eve's yellow maid-of-honor dress.[38]

Encore in Death[]
