He asserts that his hometown was worse off than Echo, and his father regularly received death threats because his family had money. He knew almost no English. This made it difficult for him to communicate effectively and make friends in Echo. His first real friends in Echo came in the form of Chase and Jenna, who reached out to him at their school in Payton and quickly formed an attachment, making him the third in their group. He credits himself with solidifying the rest of the current group by encouraging better communication between the seven children, finding it strange how none of the children in Echo talked to each other much. In 2003, Leo was present for the death of Sydney at Lake Emma, but was too late to do anything about it. He embraced the rest of his friends and cried with them at the lake as their parents picked them up one by one. The event caused him to become highly protective of all his friends. This manifested in him often physically beating off others who would bully the gang, including Clint and Jeremy. During high school, Leo played play varsity football while simultaneously working at his father's auto shop in Echo. During this time, Leo and Chase became more closed off from their friend group in order to spend more time together, and the two would often showcase public displays of affection to near-sexual degrees. Leo was against the idea of Chase going to college, and often attempted to convince the otter to stay in Echo and work at his father's shop. In May 2012, a prank set up by Jenna and Chase caused Leo to lose his temper and break Chase's phone after being made to think that the otter was cheating on him. This resulted in Chase abruptly breaking up with him and moving away from Echo to attend Pueblo University alongside Carl and Jenna. Leo took the breakup very personally and soon became depressed, began smoking. Leo's violent tendencies also grew, and he began frequently getting into physical and verbal altercations with people. Moreover, he became so obsessed with his own ideal view of Chase that his desires began to manifest as an apparition of the otter that seems to have haunted him for years. Leo attended Payton's community college for several semesters before dropping out with no intention to return. Although his relatives moved to Payton during this time, Leo chose to live by himself in his parents' old house in Echo, ever loyal to his family business and Echo itself. In 2015, after receiving the memo that Chase would return to Echo during Spring Break for his final project, Leo organized a get-together for the whole gang, eager to mend his broken friend group and reconcile with his ex-boyfriend. Things go well for the group initially, and Leo's plans of balancing Chase's work with group activities works fairly well. Suddenly the hysteria begins on Saturday. Everyone in the town went crazy and started killing each other. After three days of struggling Leo and his friends, including Chase, find out that only way to leave Echo is through jumping on the going train. Leo confronts Chase regarding the future of their relationship just as the group attempts to escape the town via the "ghost" train.

Chase was one of Leo's first friends upon his family moving to Echo, and over the years Leo's feelings toward him became romantic. Leo was elated to discover that Chase was "gay" as well, and he asked him to be his boyfriend as soon as he came out. When Chase left for college and left their relationship status unresolved, Leo was torn apart and suffered from extreme depression.Overall, Leo struggles to reconcile with the idea that he and Chase are no longer together and still clings to their shared history, a lifestyle further exacerbated by Chase's habit of texting him while drunk at college. Beneath the pitfalls of their relationship however, Leo and Chase are close friends. Leo admires Chase's observant and calm nature and is charmed by his snarky comments. Like the rest of like the rest of his friends, Leo still cares deeply for Chase despite their complicated history. He desperately wants to believe that their relationship can be repaired, often interpreting Chase's lingering affection and drunk messages as proof that Chase still loves him. Leo has difficulty accepting that Chase has moved on and tends to romanticize their years together, remembering their happiest moments while minimizing the ways their relationship became unhealthy. He can become jealous and possessive whenever he feels that someone else is taking Chase away from him. Leo is extremely protective of the people he considers family, especially those he grew up with in Echo. His protectiveness can become overbearing, and he is prone to acting before thinking when someone he loves is threatened. Despite his intimidating size and temper, Leo is usually warm, humorous, and easygoing around people he trusts. He frequently teases his friends and uses Spanish nicknames as terms of affection. After the hysteria and the departure of his friends, Leo becomes increasingly isolated within Echo. Rather than leaving with the others, he chooses to remain behind, unwilling to abandon the town or the memories attached to it. His attachment to Echo mirrors his attachment to Chase: both represent a past he knows he has lost but refuses to let go of. Alone in the abandoned town, Leo's depression and obsession become increasingly difficult for him to hide. Leo rarely admits when he is struggling. He tends to joke, swear, or become sarcastic whenever conversations get too emotional, particularly if someone confronts him about Chase. If accused of being obsessive or controlling, he will immediately deny it and insist that he simply cares too much. Despite this, his actions often reveal how deeply he is still affected by the breakup. He wants to be seen as strong and confident, but underneath that exterior he is terrified of being abandoned again.
