Character Name: Leon Scott Kennedy
Fandom: Resident Evil 4
Age: 27
Blood Type: A
Height: 5'10"
Nationality: American
Current Job: United States Government Agent
Formerly: Raccoon City Police officer (only for a day); Leader of Anti-Umbrella movements backed by the government
Personality: Leon is calm, collected, and somewhat of a flirt. Despite the overwhelming odds he was placed in both games, he always seemed to be calm enough to be able to fight back. However, as cutscenes from Resident Evil 4 have shown, he’s also become a bit of a smartass, making quips and remarks. However, unlike certain other characters, he seems to at least wait (for the most part) until the situation is safe enough for him to say anything about it.
He’s very dedicated to helping take down any company that is similar to Umbrella, not wanting a repeat of what happened at Raccoon City. Considering the horrors he saw, it’s really not that surprising. Leon also seems to be able to keep his temper for the most part, he’s not as hot-headed as some of the other Resident Evil heroes (i.e. Chris Redfield), but if he finds out about certain things, expect there to be calm fury that’ll be radiated from him, and that can be just as bad as if he actually exploded on someone.
Abilities/Strengths: Thanks to his extensive training as an agent, Leon is in extremely good physical shape. For example, he is able to pull off maneuvers like a double roundhouse or a suplex to his enemies. He also knows his way around several different kinds of firearms and is extremely good at knife combat. His main psychological strength is a calm and collected mind which is able to analyze a situation despite the danger. Others include an unwavering will to finish what was started and a decent sense of justice.
Weaknesses: Now that doesn't go without saying that Leon has no weaknesses. He was shocked and appalled to find out that Jack had betrayed the US, to which he reacted...kind of badly. He hates the idea of betrayal, and he's sometimes a bit too trusting when it comes to people. However, through experience, he has gotten much better about that. And despite the fact that he's in fairly good shape, he isn't Superman. He still can be kicked around and beaten up, but he's a lot hardier than you might expect considering his size.
History: Leon is one of the main protagonists of the Resident Evil series. He started in the second Resident Evil game, where he was a rookie cop that had just started on the job and was coming into his first day on the force when the T-virus outbreak occurred. (What luck.) After finding out about the city’s situation, he, along with Claire Redfield, fought his way out of the city, meeting several other survivors along the way, including Ada Wong and Sherry Berkin, the daughter of one of Umbrella Pharmaceutical’s main researchers and also one of the main bosses of the game. During the mission, Ada is severely injured and supposedly falls to her death, where Leon grieves for her and blames himself for not being able to protect her. However, he still keeps moving, knowing that it would only be a matter of time before the President would issue the order for the city to be “sterilized” via missile.
He, Claire, and Sherry meet up again to face off against the mutated William in an underground train tunnel, finally defeating him with the help of who’s suspected to be Ada, who gives him (or Claire, depending on the scenario) a rocket launcher. The trio escape the tunnel just before the self-destruct sequence is initiated and end up being picked up by the U.S. government.
After the incident, Leon makes a deal with the government and takes part in several Anti-Umbrella missions, mostly helping behind the scenes. He even sends an e-mail with Claire’s whereabouts to her brother Chris during Code: Veronica. During his training and work in the anti-Umbrella group, he befriends Jack Krauser, who then fakes his death in a helicopter crash in 2002. Through this incident, Leon finds the strength to keep going and training to be one of the best agents in the nation.
Two years later, the President’s daughter, Ashley Graham, is kidnapped by a religious cult known as Los Illuminados. Initially assisted by two local cops, who are promptly killed by the townspeople, Leon then digs deeper to find out what exactly has been happening to the people of the village that he ends up in. He finds out that they are being controlled by a parasite known as Las Plagas, and at one point, he is injected with one himself. Not knowing what this exactly entails until later, he continues on and eventually finds Ashley in a church and the two continue on to try and find a way out of this whole mess.
Unfortunately, it’s about around that time that Leon realizes that both he and Ashley are infected with Las Plagas, and if they do not find a cure and soon, they will end up becoming brainwashed slaves to Osmund Saddler, the leader of Los Illuminados. During this time, he finds out that Krauser is indeed alive and gets into two separate fights with him during this time. He also finds out that Ada, who he thought was dead after the events of Resident Evil 2, was also still alive, but working for her own agenda. He eventually ends up getting rid of the Plagas within both himself and Ashley thanks to a machine that was developed by Luis Sera, a former researcher in Los Illuminados.
Finally, Leon confronts Saddler and ends up being helped by Ada once again, where she ends up tossing him a specialized rocket launcher in order to defeat Saddler. Once he’s defeated, Leon then goes to take a Plagas sample from him in order to show the government, but Ada takes it from him at gunpoint. However, she gives him keys to a jetski, which he and Ashley use to escape the island research facility they were at before it was completely destroyed.
