'''Aspect''' is the term that [[Stephen Leeds]] uses for his hallucinations.{{book ref|Legion|1}} Each aspect embodies a specialized area of Stephen's knowledge. He was taught to use them by [[Sandra]], who has the same ability.{{book ref|legion3|5}}
 
== Existence ==
 
; Disappearance
Aspects are able to die. Once an aspect is dead, Stephen can no longer access that knowledge.{{book ref|skin deep|16}} They can die both by standard human ways to die (e.g. being stabbed) or by turning into a nightmare, which happens when Stephen loses control.{{book ref|legion|6}} Some aspects are be able to break the rules without becoming a nightmare, but eventually fade once too many rules have been broken.{{book ref|legion3|12}} Every aspect exceptdies Jenny didin one of these two thingsways while Stephen was trying to find Sandra.{{book ref|legion3|13}}
 
== Known Aspects ==
When Stephen took the case of [[Razon's camera]], he had 45 living aspects. Two aspects, [[Kalyani]] and [[Arnaud]], were added in that case, increasing the total number of living aspects to 47.{{book ref|legion2|8}} While investigating the death of [[Panos Maheras]], Stephen unintentionally manifested the aspect [[Rahul]],{{book ref|legion2|16}} bringing the total number of living aspects to 48. During the Panos case, Stephen began to feel that he was accumulating too many aspects,{{book ref|legion2|14}} though he later unintentionally created the aspect [[Jenny]],{{book ref|legion3|3}} and may have created others between the Panos case and receiving Sandra's request for help.{{ref|text=While searching for Sandra, but before realizing Jenny was an aspect, Stephen makes reference to both "some fifty" and "fifty ... distinct" aspects,{{book ref|legion3|2}}{{book ref|legion3|3}} and the invitation to [[Wilson]]'s party notes that it "admits fifty-two" (presumably including Stephen and [[Barb]]).{{book ref|legion3|14}}}} While searching for Sandra, all of the aspects were either killed, transformed into nightmares, or faded.{{book ref|legion3|14}}{{book ref|legion3|epilogue}} Two aspects, [[Ignacio]] and [[Justin]], died before the Razon case and are marked below with a †.
At the beginning of [[Legion (book)|Legion]] there were 47 extant Aspects; one was introduced during the case bringing the number to 48. This number excludes Aspects that died or disappeared prior to the series. (marked with a †). When Jenny was created, the number was brought up to 49, until aspects began to disappear.{{book ref|legion3|3}}
