At the age of 14 he was apprenticed to Andrea Del Verrocchio, who lived in Florence. It was here that he met, Machiavelli, Lorenzo de' Medici and, later, Lisa Gherardini.

Leo's impressive inventions and designs drew the attention of Lorenzo's father, Piero de' Medici and his group, the Luminari, who had Lisa, under the guise of Tom, steal his Notebook, planning to use his designs for to take over Florence. (Anything is Possible)

Leonardo eventually discovered the truth about Piero's plans and thwarted his attempt to use the Mechanical Man to make him look like a greater leader than the Duke of Florence. When Lorenzo sided with his father, the pair fell out. (Enter the Robot)

After running into a badly beaten Placidi, Leo learnt the truth and was tried to stop Piero from using the Tank and reveal him to Rocco de' Medici. This failed however and he, Mac and Rocco were taken prisoner. After Lorenzo helped them escape, the group fought the guards and made their the way to the piazza. It was here that Leo had his final showdown with Piero. The two engaged in a fierce sword fight with Leo being overpowered but managing to use the flint to turn the tide. After Lorenzo revealed that Piero was a traitor, he was taken to jail. With Florence saved from war, a huge party was thrown in Leo and his friends' honour with Rocco thanking him for all he had done. (The Dogs of War)
