Leon Clean

**Leon Clean** is a Thanager in the Hall of Eternity of Death Inc., and a mini-boss in *Have a Nice Death*.

## Description

**Leon Clean - Janitorial Thanager**

The ghoul known to the company under the name of "Leon Clean" is said to have lived a full life during his time in the mortal world. In fact, the neurotic minions in the Hall of Eternity have even admitted, through gritted teeth, that Leon led an *exceptionally* fruitful life, which led to his somewhat premature arrival in the company. Leon is so strong and vigorous - despite his total lack of life force - that he leaves the tile shining brighter than ever. Apparently, he was a legend on Earth: a man with a flawless, shiny bald head who could overcome even the most severe grime with a little bit of elbow grease and a winning attitude.

Leon also appeared on the big screen, declaring war on the terrors of dirty kitchens in commercials. As the stunt double for a supposedly "immortal" French actor (funny, as if anybody could escape the expert sleuths at Death Inc ...), this legend finally decided to retire from film sets for good after deciding to trap a child in a vacuum bag, believing that such a dirty kid couldn't *possibly* be innocent.

— So is this guy a murderer or not? Because he gives me the creeps. If you walk through a freshly washed hall with your street shoes one, he goes crazy.

— I don't trust him. Maybe he's an imposter. *Leon* and *Clean* can't be his real identify, I'm sure of it. Plus, he talks with a fake Russian accent!

— So who is this guy??

— I don't know, doggone it! In the cafeteria, he seemed to be saying that he could turn back time by drinking a magic potion, but that you'd turn into poop if you drank it.

— That sure is stupid.

## Appearance

Leon Clean appears in a custodial outfit, with a pull-along vacuum by his side.

## Mini-Boss Battle Attacks

Leon Clean has several attacks that can be used at any point during combat:

* He creates a ball of dirt and expels it from the end of his vacuum towards the player. On contact with a wall, it explodes into a cluster of smaller particles which will also do damage. This attack is indicated by an obvious "charging up" of the vacuum, as well as a row of exclamation marks indicating the direction of fire.

* He sucks a ball of dirt from off-screen, where it then clogs the vacuum nozzle. Leon will then suplex the ball of dirt, applying damage behind him as well. This attack is indicated by exclamation points indicating where the ball is coming from, with a sucking animation done by Leon. Once he catches the ball, the suplex is immediate, but the attack is disrupted if the incoming projectile hits the player first.

* Leon uses his vacuum attachment like a scythe of his own, and will do a jump and swipe up, as a way of repositioning himself.

## Strategy

Leon's attacks are pretty well-projected, so as long as you take your time and watch his movements, he shouldn't be a difficult enemy to fight. One can easily beat him with solely ranged attacks, or by jumping in and out to attack him with your scythe at close range. It's not recommended to stay tight on him though, unless you're willing to lose a lot of health trying to react to his predominantly close-range attacks or can chunk him down before he can do significant damage to the player.

## Trivia

* This character is a reference to "Mr. Clean", the brand name and mascot of an american company founded in 1958. This is supported by his Codex entry mentioning his status on earth and bald head. His first name "Leon" could be a reference to **"Léon: The Professional"** (a 1994 action movie) about a professional assassin named "Leon" who refers to his profession as a "cleaner".
