Pre-Charmed life
Leo was born May 6th, 1918 or 1919 in San Francisco, California, the son of Christopher Wyatt, and grew up in Burlingame, California.
Leo was once a medic for the United States Army in World War II. He was married once, to a woman named Lillian. Two friends of his, a pair of brothers named Nathan and Rick, had died on November 14th, 1942 in the Battle of Guadalcanal. Upon his own death, later on, Leo became a whitelighter for his good deeds. Leo is a pacifist, dissallowed by the Elders to kill. Leo has watched over many of his charges: those who were future whitelighters and good witches. After his death, he went to Lillian and told her to move on with her life.
In the late 60s, Leo befriended Penelope Halliwell and Allen Halliwell, the grandmother and stepgrandfather of the Charmed Ones. One of his fellow trainees was a woman named Natalie, with whom Leo became good friends since World War II.
Whitelighter of the Charmed Ones
Leo was by the Elder as Whitelighter of the Charmed Ones. Because he wasn't supposed to reveal himself as a whitelighter to them yet, Leo got a job from the sisters as a handyman fixing up their old house. Phoebe and Piper immediately became attracted to him. As Leo worked on their house, Piper and Phoebe competed for his attention. Piper invited him for dinner at Quake to look over stain samples to refinish the wood in the house.
Although Piper and Leo started dating and consummated their relationship, he had to leave her since relationships were not allowed between witches and whitelighters. Leo was forced to be given another charge, but he watched over and guided the Charmed Ones on many occasions.
When Leo returned, Phoebe then discovered him using his levitation to change a light bulb and he confessed the truth to her.
When Leo returned injured by a darklighter's poison arrow, attempting to protect his charge Daisy, Piper learned he was a whitelighter. Piper used a spell to switch powers with Leo, so she could heal him while Phoebe and Prue protected Daisy and vanquished the darklighter. Although Leo offered to give up being a whitelighter to be with Piper, she didn't want him to give up his calling.
Piper went to the future with Phoebe and Prue, and learned that she and Leo were divorced, and they had a daughter named Melinda Halliwell-Wyatt.
Piper tried to move on, and started a romance with her new neighbor Dan Gordon.
The Elders have a rule of not healing when the injury/disease is not caused by a demon. Leo broke that rule when he saved Piper from a deadly disease. Because of that, Leo was suspended from being a whitelighter for at least three months.
Marriage to Piper and family
Leo eventually earned his wings back as well as Piper's heart. He proposed to Piper to marry him when they got back from the Whitelighter Dimension.
A warlock named Eames was killing many witches and other supernatural beings to reach his great goal. A whitelighter named Natalie went to Leo and the Charmed Ones for help. Phoebe had confided in Leo that she didn't really vanquish Cole. The whitelighter elders were so happy with the Charmed Ones performance against Eames they lifted their probation on Leo and allowed him to be engaged to Piper.
The ceremony was performed by Grams, and the Elders allowed Patricia Halliwell to return for one day to witness her daughter's wedding. The ceremony was also attended by Phoebe Halliwell, Prudence Halliwell, Victor Bennett, Cole Turner and Darryl Morris. Although the marriage was considered legal in the magical world, it was not in the mortal world, due to Leo and Grams' status as being legally dead.
Soon after, Piper became pregnant. Leo and Piper had their powers swapped by their unborn baby for a short time, until they learned to appreciate how hard each other's lives are. Piper had gave birth to their son, Wyatt Matthew Halliwell. Piper named the baby Wyatt after Leo for being a very protective daddy.
When Piper and Leo's arguing began affecting Piper's powers, Phoebe suggested that they visit a marriage counselor. Piper cast a spell that allowed them to relive the good and difficult times during their relationship, which reminded them of why they got married. But as well as reaffirming their relationship, the session allowed them to realize that they had issues to work out.
Leo as an Elder
Leo was later promoted to be an Elder and had to leave his family behind. However, he managed to watch over them, especially his son, as he was given rights to visit him. However his appointment cost him his marriage to Piper. Chris Perry, the whitelighter from the future, had taken his place as the Charmed Ones' new whitelighter.
Since Piper and Leo's parting, Piper had become increasingly happy. Alarmed by her change in attitude, Paige and Phoebe told Chris to ask Leo about Piper, but Chris admitted that Leo had been kidnapped. When Paige and Phoebe told Piper that Leo was missing, she was oddly unaffected by the news, not really remembering their parting. But when the sisters finally found Leo, Piper's memories came flooding back. She demanded to know why she did not remember Leo leaving her, and Leo told her that he used his powers to make her forget and not feel as much pain. Not wanting to face the pain and anger she felt toward Leo, Piper became a Valkyrie. Phoebe and Paige confronted Piper, using a spell to make Piper feel her suppressed emotions. Once confronted with her pain, Piper realized that she did not belong with the Valkyries and returned home. Leo apologized to Piper for taking away her feelings. Piper said that she understood that he was only trying to help, but she told him that since he was still an Elder she would appreciate his keeping his distance so that she might move on with her life.
Even though Piper tried to distance herself from Leo, she realized how much Leo missed Wyatt and how much Wyatt missed his daddy, so she told him that he could visit as much as he wanted when she was not around. But much to Leo's disappointment, Piper asked him for a divorce when she started to date again.
When a demon used the power of a genie to wish the Charmed Ones dead, Leo's connection to Piper saved the sisters. Even though he and Piper were in a magically-induced sleep, Leo heard Piper's cries for help when her spirit began to move to the afterlife and he healed her. This incident drew Piper closer to Leo, as she was reminded of her connection to him.
After Leo and Piper were trapped in the Ghostly Plane, the two had a moment and Piper got pregnant with their second child, who happened to be Chris.
When Leo finally found out that Piper was pregnant again and Chris was their son, he decided that his place was to stay with his family. Trying to absorb the situation, Leo took his time in approaching Piper about the impending birth of their son and the future of their relationship. While Piper admitted that she thought about them becoming a family again, she tried not to because things had not changed — Leo was still an Elder.
When Leo learned that his mentor Gideon was after Wyatt and that Gideon had killed Chris, Leo avenged his son by killing Gideon, using his powers as an Elder. He returned to be at the side of his family, possibly for good.
Leo has been hunting for Barbas since he teamed up with Gideon to find Wyatt in the Underworld, and he and the Charmed Ones suspects that Gideon may not be the only Elder who feels that Wyatt may turn evil. Leo had accidentally killed the Elder, Zola, who once tried to reach out to Leo to help him.
Leo was not trusted by the Whitelighter Elders, however, he had to return to his status, to prepare for the "Gathering Storm." Unfortunately, he and Piper had planned for him to move back in with them, but he felt that he was too dangerous.
Leo as an Avatar
Leo then joined the Avatars, and was granted great powers. He informed the Halliwell sisters of his new status. Leo was a target for Agent Kyle Brody. However, Leo soon became aware that the world the Avatars wanted to make was not the nice world he had hoped for. To convince the sisters, Leo sacrificed himself by getting angry, thus forcing the Avatars to vanquish him (as the Avatars did too all who got angry). The sisters, realizing Leo was right, confronted the Avatars. The Halliwells, along with the Demon Zankou, made the Avatars realize the errors of their ways. Time was then turned back to the point before the Avatars changed the world, and Leo was restored, although he no longer had his Avatar powers.
Now the Elders were left with the question of how to punish Leo for becoming an Avatar. They finally decided to relocate him on Earth and take away his memory. They said Leo would somehow find his way back and choose between rejoining his family, or becoming an Elder full time. However, the Elders cheated on this test and tricked Leo into rejoining them. But when Phoebe and Paige confronted the Elders on this, Leo came with them. At that time, a dying Piper (she had been poisoned by a Thorn Demon) called out to Leo, urged on by Cole Turner. Leo heard her and chose to "fall from grace". Leo thus gave up his powers and his Elder status and became a mortal human, but he got his memory back. Leo then returned home to Piper and their two sons.
Headmaster of Magic School
Piper and Phoebe had decided to have Leo become the new headmaster of Magic School, letting Paige go out into the world and try something new.
Leo "died" with the Halliwell sisters, adopting the name of Louis Bennett, but soon got back to his old life and name.
Leo and Piper went to a magical marriage counselor, but things did not turn out as well as they had hoped. Their counselor needed them to see how each of their lives were in order to get them more close to wach other. In order to do this, the marraige counselor had them switch bodies in order to walk a mile in each other's shoes.
The series finale and the future
In the last season of the series, Leo was the target of the Angel of Death. The sisters searched for a key to undoing his death sentence. Piper summoned both an Elder and an Avatar to give Leo a new lease on life, but both were forbidden to do so. In turn the sisters conjured up the Angel of Destiny, who warned them of an impending great evil force, that Leo's death would be the only motivation to give the sisters the will to fight the great evil. So they decided to freeze Leo promising if they beat the great evil, he would be returned to them.
After the destruction of the manor and the deaths of Phoebe, Paige, and Christy Jenkins, Leo was returned by the Angel of Destiny. If Leo had not intervened, Piper would've definitely killed Billie Jenkins in an act of revenge. With the manor destroyed, Leo and Piper leave the area.
Piper and Leo went back to the past to fix the present, and saved the future so that Phoebe and Paige live.
In the new future, Piper and Leo have a daughter, Melinda, and Leo returns to teach in Magic School.
