“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 has a reputation, that he himself accepts, as a reclusive and amoral jerk.[2] He also repeatedly denies the characterization of him as a genius, insisting that it is his aspects who are smart.[3] When confronted about Sandra, he grows angry and impulsive.[3]
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.[4] In a similar vein, he is able to skim a sheet of facts and have an aspect "read" it to him later.[5]
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.
History
Search for Razon's Camera
Stephen met with Monica and agreed to take on a case for her tracking a camera that can look into the past.[3] He traveled first to Razon's house,[5] then to Jerusalem. On the way, he created a linguist aspect, Kalyani.[4] There, he was captured by the Abu Sayyaf.[2] He convinced them to free him so he can get a good look at the camera. However, Monica's escape provoked a shooting match, during which J.C. is able to help Stephen shoot all of their captors. One of the captors didn't quite die and was able to pull the pin on a grenade, which injured Stephen and Monica and rendered the camera unusable and irreparable. Stephen returned to his mansion, with the bulb from the camera, and refused to help Monica. He created an aspect that knows about quantum physics, Arnaud.[6]
