After becoming a receptacle of Kian, Leonardo assumed the Wretched Semblance and drastically changed, becoming a much thinner boy with fair skin and blonde hair faded and thrown to the side.

## Personality

In his past Leonardo was a child with a lot of energy who played like all the others. However, after becoming the receptacle of Kian, he starts to be quiet, changes his posture and starts acting like another person, he plays bizarre tricks with his neighbor Anthony Scelto, blaming it on his foster brother Frederico Mare, trying to manipulate him into doing terrible acts, giving him ideas of how to murder his own parents, saying coldly and eloquently that everything would work out if he followed his orders.

## Biography

### Past

Leonardo Gomes was born in June 18, 1996, growing up at the St. Menefreda Orphanage in São Paulo, with several other children, being adopted temporarily in 2005 by Heitor Mare, a musical producer and Fátima Mare, an english teacher, moving to Canadense and living in the Devilish Mansion along with his adoptive brother Frederico Mare. During this period, the neighbor of the front house, Álvaro Augusto, approaches Leonardo, interested in the boy, he performs rituals and turns him into the receptacle of Kian, all this happens in 2 months, making Leonardo be readmitted to the orphanage because of his complete change in appearance, physical and mental traumas beyond the disappearance of his adoptive parents, killed by Frederico Mare while under the effect of an Uncontrollable Rage Ritual.

Years after his return, on February 11, 2009, the orphanage caught fire due to the games of The Host, that wanted to kill Kian, but he's saved by Dante. Along with Dante and Jasmin Cristal, they begin to live on the street, and later in a studio apartment in São Paulo, where Leonardo barely frequented and did not keep any personal belongings.

In 2017, when Beatrice Portinari goes to the St. Menefreda Orphanage, looking for answers about Arnaldo Fritz's death, she came across several orphans who contained tattoos all over the body, among them standing out was Leonardo Gomes who, along with Gal, guided her to the "Deconjuration Room", there Beatrice was tattooed with horror stories and words of fear learning a terrible truth. Such events caused Clara to surrender to the Escribes to learn a Change Memory Ritual.

After a while living with Jasmin and Dante, Kian in Leonardo's body starts his plan to complete the Deconjuration. Leonardo manipulated Dante, a Marked, to become an occultist, stabbing Jasmin, the love of his life so he could watch her die.

In the beginning of 2020, Leonardo Gomes convinces Dante to make a series of rituals, deceiving and lying to him, saying that the goal was to save the life of Denis Batista, a child who was terminally ill in the hospital. Later, Leonardo was captured by Luciano Carvalho, convincing him to leave him free in exchange for a cure for his husband’s terminal cancer, Fernando Carvalho, And for that, the only thing Luciano needed to do was kidnap a child from the hospital and take him to an address of an abandoned house.

Arriving there, Leonardo said to Dante that Fernando and Luciano were volunteers to save the child’s life. Luciano and Fernando were knocked out during the ritual series, and Denis Batista was anesthetized, however, awake, serving as a source of fear. Dante unknowingly removed the mind of Fernando Carvalho and placed it in the body of Luciano, leaving the original body of the musician completely empty. Dante then separated Leonardo Gomes into two, his knowledge of the Other Side and powers went into the body of Fernando Carvalho, and his memories were hidden within Luciano. Dante continued to follow the instructions that Leonardo had left him, and unknowingly withdrew Denis' mind and placed it in Leonardo’s original empty body. The child, now in Leo’s body, woke up frightened, not understanding what was happening, and the now empty body of Denis began to turn into a creature, that tore the body of Leonardo Gomes.

After a few minutes, the agents Tristan Monteiro and Erin Parker arrived at the scene, arresting Dante and leaving the original body of Fernando on the site. After a few hours, Fernando’s body took over the Wretched Semblance, becoming the Vessel of Knowledge, and was rescued by Gal.

### Deconjuration

In the final moments of the 6th episode of Deconjuration, a man identical in appearance to Leonardo Gomes is seen again, his eyes whitish and empty, his body covered with Escribes tattoos, holding Dante by the face and with a weak voice he says "Kian" before being pulled back near Gal. However, that was Fernando's body after it assumed the Wretched Semblance.
