		For Leontius - as typical with Origenists - Christ was the intellect that had not fallen before the beginning of creation, the one who remained in an “essential union” with the Logos.

		For Leontius, the subject of the union among the Logos, the unfallen soul, and the fallen human nature, was the single hypostasis, the incarnate Christ.
