1989, ??	2051, fall	SR	Humans & the Cycle of Magic			-	Leonardo da Vinci is a human "[..] there have been many brilliant Human scholars throughout the ages. Even the Da Vincis and the Einsteins, [..]" Ehran knew Leonardo da Vinci (revised version) "In my conversations with Da Vinci, [..]"	Tom Dowd
1995, ??		ED	Sky Point & Vivane	1	FASA	bk.3, p.42-43	elf named "Leonarus" is Theran "Leonarus [..] is of Theran origin" unnaturally old; appearance described as that of an old man "He has lived for a very, very long time, well beyond the natural life span of an elf, [..]" "Most of his head hair is gone, though the thick white fringe remaining hangs below his shoulders. Unusual for an elf, he sport a magnificent flowing white beard." lives alone in Vivane interests in astronomy and optics; builds optical instruments "preoccupied with astronomy and his studies of the properties of light" "He builds lenses and crystal prisms [..]"	Carl Sargent, Marc Gascoigne
1995, ??	2056	SR	Aztlan	2	FASA	p.12	a peer of the immortals called "Brightlight" comes up thought to have a deep understanding of technology (The Big 'D') "[..] courtsey of my technologically gifted friend [..]" (The Laughing Man) "Ah! Is Brightlight among us then?"	Nigel Findley
						p.66	implication that Brightlight used the identity Antonio Vieri, an Italian researcher; prior stays in Florence and Venice are mentioned (The Laughing Man) "I possess an interesting paper debunking it [the Turing Test] by one Dr. Antonio Vieri of the University of Milano, though I think we might find that the good Doctor did not exist. As such." (Wordsmyth) " Indeed. Why would Brightlight have chosen Milan?" (The Laughing Man) "Well he'd done Florence and Venice, after all."
						p.67	implication that Brightlight might be able to implement artificial intelligence; the immortals agree that he wouldn't work with Aztechnology, alternate reading: with the "techno-shamanic cults" "So there could well be an AI in the Azzie datacores." [..] (The Big 'D') "Some people say that there are 'entities' in the Matrix." (The Laughing Man) "Ah, the techno-shamanic cults. [..] Should we believe them? No. They're among the loonier people I know." (Wordsmyth) "There is always Brightlight ..." (The Laughing Man) "Would he associate with these fools?" (Wordsmyth) "Point taken."
						p.96	Brightlight is thought to have some insight into the Jesuits in general, though maybe not their operations in Aztlan in particular (The Laughing Man) "Brightlight's absence is again unfortunate. It would be most interesting to know what he thinks about them." (The Big 'D') "We might indeed find it interesting, if he were party to their activities here but I doubt this is so."
						p.173	The Big 'D' seems to assume Brightlight already knows what he wanted to reveal to the other immortals; Wordsmyth does not believe Brightlight will work with others (The Laughing Man) "Brightlight. Brightlight knows, does he not?" (The Big 'D') "Was there ever anything of substance he did not know if he chose to?" (Wordsmyth) "He will not have dealings outside of his own concerns. I shall deal with those who will."
