The Leszy is the demon that she makes a deal with and a far more complicated character than the book let's on until the end. I get that the author was trying to make him mysterious and an unknown element as long as possible, but it got in the way of the character's development. I wanted to care about what happened to him and couldn't because of the lack of consistent depth. More fleshing out of his character kept this book from being a better read.
