The low point of Leonard's reign was the fall 2604 sessions of the High Council, when the drunken and enraged Coordinator spat in First Lord [[Nicholas Cameron]]'s face before again blaming Cameron for hiding his heirs and accusing him of a deliberate attempt to cripple the Combine military during the Reunification War. Launching into a winding and nonsensical tirade, he threw his half empty bottle at the First Lord, only to strike his personal guard Sergeant [[Tanya Kerensky]]. Instinctively shooting, Kerensky superficially wounded the out of control Leonard's arm, but before she could react the Coordinator had stabbed and fatally wounded her with a concealed dagger. While the Cameron and the other Council Lords attempted to aid the mortally wounded guard, enraged Leonard fled both the chamber and Terra.<ref name=HKTDCp44>''House Kurita (The Draconis Combine)'', p. 44: "History - Star League Era - The Prodigal Son"</ref> <ref name=SLp53>''The Star League'', p. 53: "History - Postwar Era - Leonard's Folly"</ref>

Upon reaching the safety of the Combine, Leonard immediately began assembling both an army and fleet to launch an invasion of the [[Terran Hegemony]], refusing to listen to the pleas of his generals and even the normally timid civilian population of the Combine to reconsider. Having now crossed the line from embarrassing to genuinely dangerous, Elaine begged her brother Leonard to step down. When he refused, she committed ''[[w:seppuku|seppuku]]'' in December [[2604]], her suicide disk specifically implicating her brother as the cause.<ref name=HHK-33/>
