Leonard Guthrie

Appearance
Leonard is unusually heavily built for a Darkling (though not for a human). For the most part he looks like a melodrama villain with a big, black mustache and the appearance that he's wearing a little bit of eyeliner and everything. Some notable departures from that appearance are his brow ridges (think of a toned-down version of a Klingon), his forked tongue, and his glasses. He is also followed by a vague odor of decay.

Personality
Leonard is in every sense a mediator, always seeking to make connections. He has even been known to place this priority over following the rules. Constantly living under the Autumn Queen's thumb seems to be taking its toll on his mental stability.

Role
Leonard is not only the Autumn Queen's second-in-command, he is also her husband. When trying to visualize what their interaction is like, I lighted upon the Queen and King of Hearts in the Alice in Wonderland Disney cartoon. When Sheila decides that demands must be made, Leonard often finds himself putting them in terms that will be understood and accepted. This puts him in close contact with the leadership of the other courts. He plays a similar role their joint matchmaking business.

Relationships
Married to Sheila Guthrie, and both are in a motley with Joyce Bowman. As the Legate of Mists, he also has easy access to all the other seasonal monarchs. In particular his efforts to keep his court from making too many waves have been appreciated by the Winter Court.
