Leonardo

Leonardo is the practical, no-nonsense steward and gatekeeper of the Cult of Al'an in Rinyan, running the order's day-to-day affairs and hospitality while the titular leader Ritasi remains officially in charge but retired; he meets visitors (often presenting in unassuming servant-like clothes), ushers them into audiences and rituals, organizes security and logistics, and quietly enforces who sees what inside the compound. He knows the cult's operational work—maintaining and repairing the old enchantment tied to the Breaker's plans—and will arrange priests, rituals, and introductions (he escorted Thistle and Giaconni to Stella, for example), but he is deliberately circumspect about the highest-level secrets (and is openly grumpy when others hold secret meetings without him). In short, Leonardo is the competent, sometimes brusque face of the Cult: indispensable for access and practical help, informed on its functions, but not the primary holder of the cult's deepest strategic confidences.
