"I met him once, you know. Satchmo. Stage door. The New Opera House, 1950. At least, I think it was him. I was so drunk, it could have been Shirley Bassey."
―Leo, talking about Louis Armstrong

Leo was an elderly werewolf who first appears in Eve of the War. He is Hal's best friend and part of his "supernatural trinity" with Pearl; another ghost.

HistoryEdit

Pre-SeriesEdit

Leo first met Hal back in 1955, when Leo used to be part of the werewolf dog fights. It seems he was infected during one fight and became a werewolf. After the two talk to each other, Leo convinces Hal to turn over a new leaf by helping him escape and live with Leo, where Leo would help Hal to supress the urge to drink blood. During that time, the two moved to Southend-on-Sea, Leo bought a barber's shop and became a barber. They also met a ghost called Pearl and she lived with them in the flat above Leo's shop.

Series 4Edit

As Leo grows old, both Hal and Pearl are scared that he won't survive the next transformation (Pearl refuses to acknowledge her fear even though Leo voices the fear himself). (Eve of the War)

A voice from the other side (later revealed to be Eve) speaks to Leo over the radio, and tells him to go to Honolulu Heights where "The War Child" would save him. Hal and Pearl suspect that Leo is going senile, but take him to Wales anyway. Leo dies in the presence of Annie, Tom, Pearl and Hal but not before he reciprocates Pearl's love. They both pass over to the other side together. (Being Human 1955) Hal later mentions Leo to Tom where he asks Tom to set tasks that Leo did and "peform a similar role". (Puppy Love)

Series 5Edit

When Hal is trapped in a hallucination of his last moments of humanity by the Devil, he experiences a vision of Leo, encouraging Hal to accept the Devil's offer so that the people Hal had killed will live by mentioning the five people Leo killed in the dogfights. However, this was not the true Leo, but merely a symbolic reflection of him, which Hal rejected in favour of focusing on the ritual.

TriviaEdit

  • Leo is the first werewolf to die of old age in the series. He is also the first werewolf to have a relationship with a ghost.
