Considering how Ferdinand noticed a sweet smell on his first meeting with Leonzio and how eager Leonzio was to make physical contact with Detlinde as quickly as he could, I strongly suspect he's the drug master and that he had coated his hands in something to make Detlinde his mindless puppet.
It would also explain why Ferdinand quite uncharacteristically dropped his facade and showed his true feelings, shortly after he slapped Leonzio's hand away from Detlinde and thus made skin-to-skin contact with him.
I suppose the sweet smell could also mean that he was under the effect, rather than using trug or some derivate, but considering how he's handing out drugs and antidotes to others, I feel like he's the mastermind. I also think that Georgine is far too cautious and aware of trug to easily fall victim the puppet master's wiles and is willingly cooperating with Leonzio or whoever for mutual benefit.
