I agree with B214's statement regarding Leonardo. That and I would like to point out that it was mentioned on the page for the Khaos Brigade - and first confirmed in Volume 7 in the Light Novels - that some members of the Hero Faction were brainwashed into joining their ranks while others were influenced by Cao Cao's charisma. Currently neither has been confirmed for Leonardo's reason for joining the Hero Faction but the possibility alone could work in Leonardo's favor of being pardoned for his actions/crimes.
