{{image|Legion PL cover art.jpg|side=left|width=200px|With some of his [[aspect]]s}}
Stephen is a rather bland man in his thirties with a mundane face.{{book ref|legion2|13}}
Stephen regularly binges on all kinds of information so that his aspects can tell it to him later.{{book ref|legion3|8}}
Typically, Stephen's aspects stay in their rooms in his [[Stephen Leeds' mansion|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. Manifesting many aspects at once is mentally taxing for Stephen and can make it much harder for his mind to uphold the illusion of their reality. As such, he uses the white room to deprive him of most stimuli and focus his mental energy on the aspects.{{book ref|legion2|8}}
As Stephen's aspects aren't truly real, they can't interact with real-world objects. If an interaction is enforced, such as Stephen tossing a phone to an aspect, his mind will cover what really happened or make up an excuse for why it did, such as the aspect fumbling the phone.{{book ref|legion3|2}} If his mind fails to do so, it can result in an incongruency that is disconcerting for both him and the aspect.{{cite}}
Stephen uses his abilities to solve cases as a private detective. He calls himself a specialist- one who specializes in many different areas.{{book ref|legion2|1}}
Stephen met with his aspects in the White Room to go over the information he had.{{book ref|legion2|8}} He decided the first step was a trip to the coroner's office, but unfortunately, he was tailed on the way there.{{book ref|legion2|9}} Suspecting an assassin, [[Zen Rigby]], he confronted the tail, but it turned out to be [[Dion Maheras]], Panos' younger brother. Zen was tailing him as well, just not as obviously.{{book ref|legion2|11}} Leaving Dion in the car, Stephen met with the coroner, [[Liza]]. She allowed him entry to the morgue and he deduced that a visitor had left tape on the door to obstruct it from locking.{{book ref|legion2|12}} He left with a flash drive containing the security tapes. Zen confronted him, demanding to see the drive, assuming it had the key for decrypting the information in Panos' body. Once Stephen alerted the security guard, however, Zen was forced to leave. After realizing he was being tailed by an assassin, Stephen set in to motion a plan that he hoped would save his life.{{book ref|legion2|13}} Stephen next went to the Maheras household and spoke to [[Mrs. Maheras|Panos' mother]]. She refused to give him any information.{{book ref|legion2|15}}
After stating that he would break into [[Exeltec]], the company that had hired Zen, he realized that Zen had bugged him during the confrontation outside the morgue. Because of this, he decides against breaking in.{{book ref|legion2|16}} He takes Dion to [[wikipedia: Denny's|Denny's]] for a quick break.{{book ref|legion2|17}} When they return to the car, Zen is waiting for them. Zen separates him from all his aspects but [[Audrey]] and takes him to a cellar, awaiting orders from her superiors at Exeltec.{{book ref|legion2|18}} Zen is about to kill Stephen when Wilson buys 60% of Exeltec
=== Chasing Sandra ===
During the months following the I3 incident, Stephen stops dating{{book ref|legion3|4}} and taking on cases.{{book ref|legion3|11}}
At least eighteen months after the I3 incident, Stephen manifested a new aspect, [[Jenny]].{{book ref|legion3|1}} Jenny claimed to be a biographer, but Stephen was not sure why she was manifested.{{book ref|legion3|8}} Just afterwards, he received a series of texts from Sandra, starting with HELP and including a cipher that points to a drop point at a fairgrounds.{{book ref|legion3|2}} After he received these messages, he attempted to meet with all his aspects, only to find [[Armando]] had become a nightmare.{{book ref|legion3|3}} He continued to the drop point at the fairgrounds and found a phone there, which Sandra
Stephen broke in to [[Wode|Walters and Ostman Detention Enterprises]], only to find out he had broke in to a simulation.{{book ref|legion3|10}} [[Kyle]], the president of WODE, put him into another simulation, this time of a deserted island. [[Lua]] teleported in and helped him break out by making a catamaran, but broke too many rules and had to disappear.{{book ref|legion3|12}} He was put into another simulation, this time of a mob raiding a casino, and [[Ivy]], J.C. and [[Ngozi]] all die in the crossfire. Breaking more rules, [[Chin]] spoke directly into Stephen's mind, telling him how to add the WODE employees to the simulation. Stephen was able to do this because he can see outside of the simulation even while within it. Stephen used J.C.'s gun knowledge (the first time he was able to use an aspect's knowledge after their death) to shoot the mobsters and Kyle using the simulated guns.{{book ref|legion3|13}} He then entered Sandra's simulation for one last goodbye. All of his other aspects died, returning back to the shadowy, schizophrenic voices they were twelve years ago. All except Jenny.
