Illegitimate son, born in Florence, Italy. Lefty and unrepentant of such crime (some say his flair for perfectly honing his craft of writing backwards was due to persecution). Being left-handed was considered the Devil's work.
Avid observer of all things around him, including architecture, physics, biology, etc. Said to have been dyslexic, ADD...eeed, and annoyingly intuitive.
apparently...kinda cranky as well (shared that with Michaelangelo Buonarroti, not from Florence but considered himself to be...anyways...).
Irritangly meticulous in his work as well as his observations and writing. Kid also worked in the fields of engineering, architecture, as I mentioned before, and anatomy. Dissected cadavers to study and illustrate...pretty much everything, including an AMAZING rendering of a stillborn in a woman's womb.
As far as the technical sketches go?....maaaaan...let's see...well, there's the study of light, a crude submersible, what is thought to be a helicopter (vertical take off...air-screw deal), bicicle, hang glider, and waterworks structures. Of course, if I'm not mistaken, the kid never really finished ANY of these ideas, they remained as sketches (later on stolen by the same alien race that spawned this bastard and were taken to Area 54 to build they shit up according to his studies...well, DON'T believe me, I don't give a shit).
Basically his visit heralded what scholars refer to as High Renaissance, in other words, "WAKE ALL YA ASSES UP!!!!!"

You know what?...fuck him and his damm intuitive, uber-techie...tantrum-ridden, lefty devil-handed ass!....fucking prick...stealing thunder like that.
