NAME:
Leon Kennedy
BORN:
Sometime in 1977
GAMOGRAPHY:
Leon Kennedy first popped up in Resident Evil 2. He also starred in Resident Evil 4, which is largely considered the best in the franchise. Though not canon, Leon is featured in Resident Evil Gaiden on the Game Boy Color. He also did some first-person shooting in Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles for the Wii and PlayStation 3.
BIOGRAPHY:
It's been a wild ride for Leon S. Kennedy. He went from the hero cop who saved Raccoon City to the man in charge of rescuing the President's daughter. Even when it looks like he's down for the count, Leon has a plan to outlive the brain-eating zombies (and their non-zombie counterparts) and keep his butt alive. So far he's been doing a good job of that ... but for how long?
He's a White Male
Even the zombies know that Leon is
a white male, which means he's
statistically destined to die two years
before Clair Redfield.

Life Expectancy - 50 Years Old (1977 - 2027):
If there's one thing we've learned from horror movies, it's impossible to successfully contain the zombie apocalypse. Eventually these brain-eaters will overrun the cities and towns, forcing survivors to take shelter for long stretches of time. Even if Leon survives the worst of it, he's still susceptible to new diseases and other ailments. Worse yet, he's already been injected with a deadly virus. His police training can only keep him safe for so long. Leon Kennedy is destined to die a middle-aged man.
