I suppose the main use is to allow you to get a weapon in hand if a monster is engaged with you. Seems expensive in resources for that, am I missing something?

i think this card had is ok for item heavy deck. ALL your items "cost no actions to play" for 1 resource each.

and also a 3health and 2horror tank for 4 cost is decent.

but, yea it occupies your ally slot. I am always getting that 2x charisma, but still... there are more better allies.

but again if your deck is item heavy i think this card is worth a try.

Well long term, he saves you actions if you play more than 1 weapon. and he has decent stats to absorb some damage. 

Yeah, I somehow missed that the action could just be done to play your own stuff in sequence thus being a free action for turns. In a deck with enough items he replaces teh MIssissippi Manatee I suppose. 

He seems pretty awful to me. I doubt he will get much play in the near future outside of Charisma or there being multiple rogue players present (so playing Leo is an issue). And even with Charisma, I suspect he will mostly be there to make up numbers rather than a card you specifically want to see.
