He is an eccentric genius who has struggled to deal with his inner demons and unruly imagination, as he yearns for acceptance from his estranged father. Their sometimes antagonistic relationship results in Leonardo's working for the House of Medici. While doing so, he becomes embroiled in a political scheme to control Florence, as he hunts for a spy who is revealing information to the Catholic Church and the Pazzi family. He also begins an affair with Lucrezia Donati, Lorenzo de' Medici's mistress. The series depicts many of Leonardo's inventions and subsequent works as a military engineer for the Duke of Milan and the Borgias. These events coincide with Leonardo's quest to uncover the ''Book of Leaves''. He is guided by a mystic to unlock the hidden areas of his mind by accessing the ''Fountain of Memory'', as he becomes involved with a mysterious cult known as the Sons of Mithras. They inform him that he has the power not only to see the future but to shape it. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Da Vinci's Demons」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
