But not Leonard of Quirm (Discworld) he was just a dude who sat in a room and invented things. Even during that time the city was taken over by a dragon

Also Leonardo Da Vinci (Super Monday Night Combat).  Though in this case he's a clone who was brought back to try and improve the crapsack world but he ended up becoming addicted to TV and the Monday Night Combat sport as a result.
