Leo was elected President of AH.com in the [[offtopic:AH.com elections, 2006#2006 elections]] but chose not to participate in the [[offtopic:AH.com elections, 2007#2007 elections]]. | His backstory was revealed in [[stories:HEART OF STEEL]] as being the last remaining survivor of an artificial civilisation that idolised its human creators who had died out; however, as their leaders knew in secret, in fact it had been an AI conspiracy that had killed off the humans. Leaders such as [[Paul Spring]], rejecting all the human history and knowledge Leo prized, made the same mistakes and touched off a war which destroyed their civilisation. Leo survived on the AH.com. His Mandaean obsession is said to be due to being originally programmed on a site in Iraq over a Mandaean tomb which also suffered from a radiation leak. |
