'''Stephen Leeds''' is an American on Earth.
 
== Appearance and Personality ==
He is a highly intelligent person but is unable to function at such a level. His brain creates [[Aspect]]s, which are compartments of his brain as hallucinations. Only he can see them, and each is an expert on one, or possibly multiple, topics. The medical community, uncertain what to think of him, label him a schizophrenic. Many psychologists have tried to analyze and write papers about him. In [[Legion: Skin Deep]], the writer for a tabloid sends someone with a sound recorder on a blind date with him. Stephen must learn the information he needs from these aspects, even though he already knows it. Normally, the aspects can't affect him at all physically, but J.C., an aspect who "was" ex-special forces, is able to somehow "teach" Stephen how to roll out of a car the proper way.{{book ref|skin deep|10}} Stephen is able to skim through a book or listen to a tape, and though not focusing on it can create (unconsciously) another aspect with that knowledge. However, since Stephen is unable to learn from them without being close enough to physically learn from them as if they were human, he can be separated from them if an enemy knows how his mind works. Zen uses this to make Stephen lose them. She pretends that they are getting out of a car, and after Stephen lets his aspects go first, drive off.{{book ref|skin deep|18}} However, this limitation is likely only a mental barrier since once two of the aspects have a phone (also imaginary), they can call each other and relay information to Stephen.
Stephen does not like being studied by psychologists, something they attempt quite often. He is often quite snappish and rude towards them, and sometimes this spills out into his relationship with his butler, [[Wilson]], and his aspects{{book ref|legion|1}}. He also repeatedly denies the characterization of him as a genius, insisting that it is his aspects who are smart{{book ref|legion|3}}. When confronted about Sandra, he grows angry and impulsive{{book ref|legion|3}}.
 
== Attributes and Abilities ==
Stephen has a [[Stephen Leeds' mansion|large mansion]], with one room for each aspect, since when they are uncomfortable or cramped bad things can happen involving nightmares and aspects disappearing. These bad things also can happen when Stephen's ability to maintain that the aspects are real breaks down, such as when a person throws an ice cream bar to an aspect. When Stephen sees this, the Popsicle appears to split in two, since he still sees the real one as well as the one that the aspect catches.{{book ref|skin deep|4}} When he cannot solve a problem and needs all of their help at once, he calls them into a large white room.
Stephen has the capability to process large amounts of information subconsciously. This, combined with his mental strangeness, led to the creation of [[Aspect]]s, compartments of his brain that manifest as hallucinations. Each aspect specializes in manifesting one (or sometimes more) areas of his subconscious knowledge. Stephen must have the Aspects re-tell him the information he already knows in order to process it directly.
 
Stephen is able to skim a book or listen to a tape and create an aspect with the knowledge from that book or tape, even though he doesn't process the information directly. In a similar vein, he is able to skim a sheet of facts and have an aspect "read" it to him later.
Stephen uses his abilities to solve cases as a private detective. He calls himself a specialist- one who specializes in many different areas. In Legion: Skin Deep, he is offered a job that will allow him complete financial independence so that he no longer needs to take cases. Though he had not wanted to take the job previously, this gave him pause, showing that he does not enjoy this profession.
 
Typically, Stephen's aspects stay in their rooms in his [[Stephen Leeds' mansion|mansion]], accompanying him when necessary. Sometimes, however, he will call them all together to a large white room in order to have the expertise on every subject to solve more difficult problems.
