- —Leon S. Kennedy
Agent Leon Scott Kennedy is one of the main protagonists of the Resident Evil series. He appeared in the 93rd episode of Death Battle, Leon Kennedy VS Frank West, where he fought against Frank West from the Dead Rising series.
History
Leon Scott Kennedy had a traumatic childhood due to his family's connections to crime, which ultimately led to him being orphaned after his entire family was killed, with him being the only survivor thanks to the aid of a single police officer. This act inspired Leon to one day become a police officer himself in order to similarly protect as many people as he could. Upon graduating from the police academy at the age of 21, Leon was assigned to the Raccoon City Police Department. On his first day, however, Leon would be thrown for a wild ride when it turned out the city was in the middle of a zombie outbreak thanks to the T-Virus unleashed by the Umbrella Corporation. Miraculously, Leon survived and made it out alive, but the feat of surviving a zombie ghost town and his knack for taking on the living dead got the attention of the United States Government. Leon was coerced into becoming a special agent, receiving top training and acting as a bodyguard and go-to expert in dealing with bio-organic threats.
