About
Leon Scott Kennedy is a video game character from the Resident Evil survival horror series. He is one of the two main characters in Resident Evil 2 and the protagonist of Resident Evil 4. During the events of Resident Evil 2, Leon is a rookie police officer who arrives in Raccoon City for his first day on the job, only to confront the T-Virus outbreak first-hand. He survives the events of Resident Evil 2 and six years later in Resident Evil 4, Leon returns as a secret agent for the U.S. government, assigned to protect the President's family.
Leon is one of the two leading characters featured in Resident Evil 2; the other being Claire Redfield. In the story, Leon is a recently-hired police officer for the Raccoon Police Department. He arrives late to Raccoon City on his first day of duty. He finds the town already overrun by zombies and encounters a civilian, Claire. The two decide to seek refuge in the city's police station, and they attempt to escape the city alive. He maintains radio contact with Claire and is partnered with Ada Wong, a woman claiming to be looking for her missing fiancee. His attempt to find an escape route leads him to Umbrella's underground laboratory within the city, where he confronts several of Umbrella's mutant creatures, including a mutated William Birkin. Just prior to making his escape, Leon learns that Ada is actually a corporate spy sent to steal the G-Virus. However, Ada is seriously wounded and presumed dead falling from a rail in the lab, leaving Leon to escape the it along with Claire and Sherry Birkin.
The epilogues of Resident Evil 3: Nemesis expand on Leon's fate following Resident Evil 2. After escaping the city, Claire set out on her own to search for her brother, while Leon and Sherry were approached by the U.S. military, and Leon made an undisclosed deal with a representative of the U.S. Government. In Resident Evil: Survivor and Resident Evil Code: Veronica Leon has joined an anti-Umbrella force. In Survivor, he is mentioned to be the one who sent the game's protagonist, Ark Thompson, to Sheena Island (the game's setting). In Code: Veronica, Claire gets in touch with Leon when she is trapped on Rockfort Island, and Leon relays the information to Chris Redfield.
Leon's next game appearance depicts him as an anti-Umbrella agent in the non-canonical Resident Evil Gaiden for the Game Boy Color. In Gaiden Leon goes missing during a mission aboard the Umbrella cruiser Starlight. Barry Burton meets up with Leon and the two team up along with an orphaned girl named Lucia to destroy a new type of Bio-Organic Weapon that can alter its appearance to look and act like an ordinary human, the only giveaway being its green blood. The game's ending shows a close-up of Leon's neck bleeding green blood that goes unnoticed by the other characters, indicating that he was infected by the virus before Barry came to rescue him. This cliffhanger was left unresolved in Leon's next appearance (Resident Evil 4).
Leon later returned as the protagonist of Resident Evil 4. Set six years after the events of Resident Evil 2, Leon has moved up in the rankings and has become an agent for the U.S government and is assigned to rescue the newly-elected President's daughter, Ashley Graham, who is being held in an undisclosed location. Her kidnappers turn out to be part of a cult known as Los Illuminados, which has taken control of the local villagers with a breed of parasites known as Las Plagas. Leon teams up once again with Ada Wong, who seeks to steal the Plagas sample for her unknown employer, as well as with a Spaniard named Luis Sera, a former researcher for Osmund Saddler, the cult leader. He also confronts Jack Krauser, a former acquaintance who disappeared two years prior to the events of the game.
