After reuniting with his family, along with discovering a group of survivors, Leonard gradually becomes the de-facto leader in their search of a safe haven. Prior to the outbreak, he entered a relationship with Erin Bennett and they later conceived two children Alexandra and Trinity together. He later becomes the leader of the Tumbleweed Ranch and one of the four co-leaders of the Grand Oaks Townhomes along with Virginia, Martha, Hakeem, and Athena before its disbanding.

A year and a half after the war against Christopher Travolta and the Marauders, Leonard adopts a more peaceful and democratic way of leadership and tries to accomplish Erin's dream of rebuilding civilization. After blowing up a building in order to protect his loved ones and allies. After surviving the near-death experience, Leonard decides to leave the community to search to rekindle his spirit.

Eventually, Leonard reunited with his family while on a recon mission, only to find that Erin was unexpectedly killed. He acts as the main instigator in the war against the Settlers and years later, leads the network of communities against the Whisperers. Leonard was eventually able to reform a large network of communities known as the Commonwealth, but was unceremoniously shot to death soon after by Buckley Milton.

Several years after his death, Leonard is remembered as the person responsible for uniting everyone and for inspiring communities to change the world for the better and for the future of civilization. In honor of his decisions since the start of the apocalypse, a statue was built in his homage and his story keeps inspiring future generations.
