History

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 Umbrella's prize creation, the Tyrant. Just prior to making his escape, Leon learns that Ada is actually working for a rival corporation of Umbrella's and was sent to steal the T-Virus. However, Ada is mortally wounded during an encounter with the Tyrant and is presumed to die from it, leaving Leon to escape 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).

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.
