Leon

* Arc 1
* Younger
* Disheveled

Leon was Ryker's mentor and friend, who was tragically killed at the beginning of the game. He is also a playable character for a short time.

## Appearance

Leon is an older man, with shoulder-length black/blue hair. He has short bangs, and the rest of his hair falling loosely down his shoulders and back, and also wears a headband with dangling beads. His eyes are orange, and he has a small goatee. He appears to be wearing a navy standing collar button-up and jeans underneath a long brown trenchcoat.

In flashbacks, Leon wears two different outfits. The first is similar to his standard outfit, except that he does not wear the headband and wears a turtleneck instead of the button-up. The other is a button-up with a disheveled black tie, and a jacket around his shoulders. At that time, Leon has shorter hair as well, about chin length. It's slicked back, showing his widow's peak.

## Personality

Leon is kind and understanding, helping and protecting Ryker multiple times. He is also quite knowledgeable and worldly. He does struggle with paranoia around mirrors, and is seen in a quite an unstable state in flashbacks.

## Relationships

### Ryker

Leon is a mentor-like figure to Ryker. While the other sees him in a father-like way, Leon is uncomfortable with that association and gently let Ryker know in the past not to refer to him as such. However, they are very close and Leon cares a lot for Ryker, buying them a birthday cake, as well as gifting/trusting Ryker with Leon's Bible.

### Dante

The exact nature of their relationship is unclear. However, they clearly have a past in some way, with Dante both killing Leon, as well as insisting that Leon is a liar in the end of Act 3. Dante also frequently steals/uses Leon's face.

### Unnamed Family

Leon notably had a ex-military father who had died, and a mother who eventually passed away as well due to illness, with all her affairs in relative order. Both died when he was young. He has no grandparents, cousins, aunts/uncles, or siblings according to his account in the flashback in Act 3. He also revealed to Ryker in a flashback that he had tried having kids before, presumably with an unnamed spouse, but was unsuccessful (hence the uncomfortability in being addressed as a father). It is unknown what happened beyond that.

Contradictory to Leon's account to Ryker, however, during the introduction of Dante during Act 1 of the game, Dante speaks in reverse "[Unintellible] it's your old friend, remember me? Do you know where your brother is now?"

### Other Characters

It is unknown who Leon may have interacted with during his time at the Rosso Cadere Basilica, however, through Dante Gabriel is aware of him to an unknown extent. (To Be Updated if more information is released.)

## History

There is little information about Leon's past, though at some point in the past he studied at The Basilica.

Leon first met Ryker in a bathroom somewhere in France. Leon was throwing up in a stall, and found Ryker panicking upon exiting. He helped them dry their sister's books, which had gotten wet from the rain.

The two met again at a bus stop, where Leon had been beaten up and thrown off the bus for insufficient fare. Ryker helped him, giving him proper fare and going with him for backup.

They met up several times since, and eventually Ryker decided to travel with Leon to become a priest. They travelled and camped-out together, eventually reaching the abandoned church in France.

## Trivia

* According to Leon's passport at the beginning of the new updates, several details are revealed about him:
	+ He is in his 50s
	+ His last name is Tremblay/Trembley
	+ His fingerprints mysteriously contain a question mark '?' and what appears to be a skull.
	+ Several stamps appear on the passport, indicating Leon is well travelled. One of them is the Eiffel Tower to represent France, but the others are unknown. One of them is a Deer.
* Leon acquires several wounds from Dante, such as; gouges at his side, being shot in the shoulder, the explosion of his face, and also mutilation of his hand and fingers at the end of Act 3.
* Leon's pose at his death has his hand performing a 'blessing' gesture.
* Several characters share Leon's appearance, or close to, including Dante and an unknown figure from the surgery/autopsy flashback in Act 3.
