Leo Fitz

"So, uh, uh, when... When you get back, I'll show you my thing. A thing. It's not-- I-It's my hardware. My equipment! Let's... hang up."

- Leo Fitz to Skye Leo Fitz is an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. He is as brilliant an engineer as he is socially awkward—but he’s always on the same wavelength as his research partner, Jemma Simmons. The two of them are an inseparable pair, though a little green, having never been in the field before.

Early Life
"It's like magic. But, it's-- it's science."

- Leo Fitz

A genius-level engineer, Leo Fitz attended the S.H.I.E.L.D. training academy along with his best friend, bio-chem expert Jemma Simmons. Among their instructors at the academy were Professor Vaughn and chemical kinetics advisor, Professor Hall.

Fitz would have been happy to spend all of his time in a lab, but at the urging of Simmons (and against the advice of Professor Vaughn), the pair put in for a field position.

Field Work
"I said there would come a moment when we would regret the decision to go in the field. I didn't think that would happen in week one."

- Leo Fitz to Jemma Simmons

Fitz and Simmons were recruited by agent Phil Coulson to be the science for a new team he was putting together. Stationed on the Bus, the pair have designed specialized equipment and compounds on the fly in emergency situations.

Their first foray into the field involved the case of Michael Peterson, a man in danger of exploding due to his use of the volatile Centipede formula. Peterson was saved in part by Fitz's invention, the Night-Night Gun, which contained specially designed bullets that delivered a Centipede counter-agent to Peterson.

Fitz first faced danger in the field in Peru, where the team was investigating an 0-8-4. After facing Peruvian rebels and an armed takeover of the Bus, Fitz found it hard to concentrate at first, but later came through for the team, using his D.W.A.R.F. Drones to activate the old hydra weapon in order to regain control of the Bus.

When Simmons was infected with an alien virus passed along from a Chitauri helmet, Fitz risked contamination and death in order to help save his friend.

Personality
Like his best friend Jemma, Leo is known to be an attractive nerd on his profile for S.H.I.E.L.D.. He is also a weapons/tech specialist which has assisted S.H.I.E.L.D. many times through-out his career. Fitz also likes monkeys.
