Overview[]

Leigh is an occultist with a deep understanding of mystical practices who lives in San Francisco, California. Described as "a lean, tall figure of a man, with thick steel-gray eyebrows overhanging keen gray eyes. His face, although strongly marked and gaunt, was unwrinkled ... His voice was deep, pleasant." Carson, the main character of "The Salem Horror", finds himself liking Leigh as a result of his magnetic personality.
