Uhm. Wait. I thought he was?
*goes and checks*
Yep. He's a Whispered alright. Otherwise, he'd never be able to wrap AMALGAM around his finger the way he does.
Thing to keep in mind: Leonard occupies a high spot in AMALGAM, but he's far from being among their highest. He's only as highly ranked as he is because he is Teletha's exact counterpart. This is made clear during The Second Raid where it is stressed to him that AMALGAM is only letting him devote so many resources to going after Kaname because the plan to take out MITHRIL was his brainchild.
That said? What is Leonard's plan?
Kaname Chidori.
No more, no less. Everything else can go to hell in a handbasket, so long as he gets to have Kaname as his willing trophy wife. Thus, everything is is merely a means to that end.
Oh, don't get me wrong. He is definitely a true believer in AMALGAM's cause. That being: further mankind's development by fomenting conflict around the world. But once he discovered Kaname Chidori, that quickly became a side-interest.
Head Cannon: Leonard isn't interested in Kaname so much for herself as much as he is interested in making babies with her. Really. Sure, he likes her combative personality and thinks she's hot as fuck, but for Leonard that plays more into what he hopes will be children who are Whispered with aggressive personas. (Just imagine someone like Taiga Aisaka as a Whispered - this is what he's going for.)
Thoughts?
