| Stephen Leeds, AKA "Legion," is the series' hero, a man whose unique mental condition allows him to generate a multitude of personae: hallucinatory entities with a wide variety of personal characteristics and a vast array of highly specialized skills. The third and final entry in the series, Lies of the Beholder, is perhaps the strangest, most unpredictable installment to date.<br />

Sandra is sitting at the end of the pier, her aspects’ dead bodies floating in the water below. She tells him to leave his dead aspects behind and stay safe in a virtual reality world, but Stephen leaves promising to find a way to fix everything. Stephen tells Kyle that he can study him when he comes to visit Sandra, but to leave him alone other than that. As he leaves, he sees Jenny and realizes he still has one aspect left. Barb then arrives to pick him up and they drive to where he first met Jenny. Stephen uses [[Razon's camera]] to take a picture of him, J.C., Ivy, and Tobias. Barb only sees Stephen by himself, and Stephen realizes that they are still in his brain somewhere. Stephen decides to go to Wilson's retirement party after all and stays in Wilson's guest room instead of returning to the mansion that night. Jenny arrives, shows him that she has been taking notes on all the aspects, and prompts him to write their stories; after starting to do so, Stephen begins to feel Tobias' hand on his shoulder.

 

;[[Stephen Leeds]]: Stephen Leeds is a private investigator. Due to his ability to process enormous amounts of information subconsciously as well as a condition resembling schizophrenia, he manifests [[aspects]], hallucinations that each carry a part of his immense knowledge.
