Leonardo/ Lala Lepore
Born in 1861, an Orphan to a monastery in the northern hills of Italy. Once he was age 4 he was put into the Choir, where his talents did not go unnoticed. At only 4 years old he began touring for Bishops and Cardinals, and he loved the attention, well, maybe not all of it. When he was 9 years old he was brought into a room, a man was there, along with the Bishop. The Bishop told Leonardo that he was going to make sure that beautiful voice of his would last forever. He asked Leo if he also wanted this, Leo of course replied yes. Two men then grabbed Leo and lay him on the table, Leo became concerned and struggled a bit, but was told to calm down, this wouldn't hurt... much. His pants were pulled down, and then theother man in the room had a long metal thing in his hand that seemed to have a circle at the point. Leo was turned castrato that night so that his high voice would never be lost to the Church.
He would continue his tours of Italy and even several European countries for years after becoming castrato. At the age of 15 he came sickly and within months would barley be able to move by the time he was 16. With his lack of mobility the church became disinterested in him the continue his path and was sent to a friary to live out his days.
He prayed to be able to walk again, and came to the point where he almost gave up.
