My name is Stephen Leeds, and I am perfectly sane. My hallucinations, however, are all quite mad.

—Stephen Leeds[1]

Stephen Leeds is a private investigator living in America.

Appearance and Personality

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[1]. He also repeatedly denies the characterization of him as a genius, insisting that it is his aspects who are smart[2]. When confronted about Sandra, he grows angry and impulsive[2].

Attributes and Abilities

Stephen has the capability to process large amounts of information subconsciously. This, combined with his mental strangeness, led to the creation of Aspects, 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.

Typically, Stephen's aspects stay in their rooms in his 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.

Stephen uses his abilities to solve cases as a private detective. He calls himself a specialist- one who specializes in many different areas.
