It is during the actual levels where the worldly Leo's charm comes out. It isn't the reaction of someone who is bored or apathetic but of someone who seems to accept things that occur rather than being outraged when things don't go his way. Given the circumstances, his accusations aren't as biting as expected, and his reaction to the truth doesn't elicit much outrage. Speaking with a very noticeable Eastern European accent, he has a pretty calm outlook on the situation. The standard adventure story is made rather quaint thanks to Leo's narration and observations. After leaving a note for his wife about his journey, Leo set out to retrieve his gold. He also has his suspicions that one of his three relatives, all of whom have lost their fortunes at some point, may have been the culprit. He discovers that whoever stole the gold is leaving bits of it behind, almost like a breadcrumb trail. Unfortunately, he wakes up one morning to see that his fortune is all gone. Leo is a world-renowned engineer who makes his fortune from many mechanical endeavors. Leo, the lead character from Leo's Fortune, has that charm, but it helps that the rest of the game holds up as well. Characters like Meat Boy are also charming due to their never-quit attitude when faced with the most heinous of challenges. As long as it isn't overdone, a bit of attitude can go a long way, such as with Sonic and Crash Bandicoot. It can come from being instantly likeable, like Mario or Rayman. Of the many factors that go into a good platforming game, charm is often assumed but never mentioned.
