Leo Hall's personality is both obsessive and elusive; you never know what might touch him, or what might offend him.
Before Leo Hall had the notion of "dominating the world," no one ever asked him what the significance of dominating the world was for him.
He once remembered, when he was about five or six years old, seeing Harry Hall on TV, standing on a podium at Harvard University, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old, speaking eloquently while everyone admired this young man.
He seemed to sense a light of universal reverence around that young man. Even though he was aloof, cool, and proud, he still felt the urge to be close to him.
Later, his dad told him that was his brother, and he saw the pride and admiration in his dad's eyes for his brother, along with a transparent appreciation.
At that time, he was very happy, happy that the youth admired by everyone was his brother, his real brother.
He wanted to meet his brother, and his dad took him to see him.
