Leon S. Kennedy

Leon Scott Kennedy returns as one of three protagonists in Resident Evil 6, the other two being returning hero Chris Redfield and a new character to the Resident Evil universe, Jake Muller, who is the son of Wesker Set in 2013, fifteen years after the Raccoon City Incident, President Adam Benford decides to reveal the truth behind the incident at Ivy University, Tall Oaks. But he is infected with the C-Virus and turned into a zombie before he can make the announcement. Leon is forced to shoot the zombified Adam in order to save his new partner, Helena Harper. Everyone then believes that it was Leon and Helena that killed the President, and they are forced to escape.

A man at the university guides Leon and Helena through the university in search of his daughter. They later find her, only for her to turn into a zombie and kill her father. Sometime later, Ingrid Hunnigan informs Leon and Helena that over 70,000 people have been infected with the C-Virus, and they were also informed that this virus has also been used by bio-terrorists in China and that it was the same virus used in Eastern Europe six months earlier. Leon then asks Hunnigan if she can fake their deaths so they can get to China and track down the people behind these outbreaks.

Personality During Resident Evil 2, rookie cop Leon S. Kennedy is portrayed as being very 'wet behind the ears' and often lets his general naivete and trust get the best of him. Despite that, the seeds for his desire and fierce motivations to see the people behind B.O.W. outbreaks brought to justice are still very evident.

After being recruited by the US Government to be trained as an agent, Leon steadily grows into becoming an equally capable and confident man. From his appearances in Resident Evil 4 onwards, Leon portrays himself as somewhat stoic, but cocky, perhaps even a little brash, and usually has a corny one-liner at the ready for most combat situations as a sign to show off his now unflappable nature amidst B.O.W. threats.

Leon is also often characterized as being something of a ladies man, as he continually manages to spark an interest from the majority of the women he works alongside with.

In Resident Evil 2 Leon is a trained police officer whose skills helped him survive the Raccoon City outbreak and after getting recruited and trained by the United States Government as a special agent, Leon's abilities were further enhanced by the time Resident Evil 4.
