Gaming
In the video game series by Capcom, Leon is a rookie cop who survives an outbreak of a deadly virus during his first day on the force in Raccoon City. He was supposed to arrive in the city earlier, but he was getting himself drunk due to a personal problem with his ex-girlfriend.

He meets Ada Wong, a mysterious woman, as well as Sherry Birkin, and Claire Redfield, who also get out of the city before it is destroyed. Leon later becomes a heroic special agent, helping to stop other outbreaks, although he was actually blackmailed initially by the government, who took custody of Sherry.

Throughout the course of the series, he reunited with Claire, Ada, and Sherry. He has also met Claire's brother, Chris, and he was partners with Jack Krauser when they were agents serving for the same people.

He briefly became an alcoholic due to the stress of fighting bioweapons. This is similar to what happened to Chris after the deaths of several BSAA agents under his command.

Leon has also dealt with the G and C viruses, as well as the Las Plagas, among other threats.
