Leo was born as a mortal in the early 20th century. His father was called Christopher, and Leo had a good relationship with him growing up. Leo attended medical school and married a woman named Lilian as a young adult. During WWII, Leo enlisted in the US army with two of his friends, Nathan and Rick Lang. While serving as a medic, Leo witnessed the deaths of his friend and was killed later that same say during a bombing. For all the good he had done, he was given the choice to become a Whitelighter by the Elders, which he accepted.

During his early years as a Whitelighter, Leo became close friends with another Whitelighter named Natalie and the Elder Gideon, who became his mentor.

At one point Leo was assigned as the Whitlighter to the Halliwell sisters. Initially he made himself up for a handyman, and he approached the sisters a lot, even going so far as to fall in love with Piper. In the end, however, his secret was discovered.The relationship between the two was always very troubled, and hampered by the Elders, because the relationships between the Whitelighters and their offices are forbidden. In the end, however, the two received permission to marry. In 2003 they had their first child Wyatt.

Shortly afterwards the Titans were released from captivity and eliminated numerous Elders and Whitelighters. Eventually the crisis was resolved, and as a reward for his actions during it, Leo was promoted to Elder, so he had to leave his family.

At one point Piper and Leo were trapped in a parallel dimension, where they made love and conceived their second son Chris. Gideon later kidnapped Wyatt, intent on killing him because he considered him too dangerous, but was killed by Leo, who thus saved his son. Unfortunately, Chris's future version was killed by Gideon.

Shortly after he kills Gideon, Leo became extremely troubled and distraught, going on killing sprees in the Underworld, as he searched for Barbas who had a hand in Gideon's plans to kill Wyatt. Eventually, Leo's downward spiral resulted in what he thought was hallucinations of floating heads, tormenting him.
