Leslie "Les" Barany was H.R. Giger's agent til 2014 (when Giger passed away). According to Giger, "Leslie [was] my friend, agent, English editor, curator, art director, troubleshooter, legal advisor, photographer, and one of my collectors, all in one. He is one of the most precise and correct people I know, and he is also painfully honest. As my dedicated advocate, he defends me so zealously that I almost have to apologize. He does it all with heart.".
