==Background ==
Gaea, in fear of Leo being the one to play a part in her downfall, attempted to kill him when he was seven years old. She manipulated the fire that Leo created to guard himself and his mother and killed Esperanza. Due to this, his aunt Rosa blamed Leo for her sister's death, and called him a "diablo" (meaning "devil" in English). 
He spent most of his time in foster care and became best friends with Piper McLean before they knew they were demigods. 
===Physical Appearance===
Leo is a sixteen-year-old demigod with brown hair and brown eyes. He is 5'6" and considered fairly handsome compared to Percy Jackson and Jason Grace.
