A corrupt infernalist and a murderer, whose activities were exposed by Roberto. Since then, the two have had several encounters, with neither one managing to rid himself of the other for good. Over time, this master of mentem magics has more and more devolved into depravity in his search for greater power.
After being thwarted by Roberto too many times, he allied himself with Attumah, in a bid to lure and kill his enemy. This, too, came to fail, but Leolinus escaped, despite nearly bringing Princess Soteira to kill her beloved.
No doubt he can sink even lower.
It should be noted that Leolinus is a shitty diabolist: He has no real means to summon demons, and must rely on Binding Grip of the Faithful Slave to ensure their loyalty. He mainly use them as teachers, as spies, or for their powers (if non replicable by hermetic magic, all the better!)

Flaws:
Corrupted Art: Mentem [RoP: tI p87: The character has studied one of the Hermetic Arts from a corrupted source. Use of a corrupted Art for a selfish or sinful action receives a +3 bonus to the character’s Casting Total and Penetration Total. Succeeding in a roll because of this bonus (that is, when without it the roll would have failed) means he immediately acquires 5 experience points in that Art. However, uses of the Art that are neutral or selfless receive a -3 penalty, and if you fail the roll because of this penalty, he immediately loses 5 experience points in the Art. Any use of a corrupted Art taints the character’s magic, causing it to appear unholy. You may only take this Flaw once, though it can affect multiple Arts]
