Leon Scott Kennedy/notes

Bio. (other canons)

• In September 2006, it was rumored that Leon was to be in the third Resident Evil Film. However, this did not turn out to be true and bringing Leon as a character in the film would contradict released information from Resident Evil: Apocalypse. Screen Gems created a promotional faux newspaper, "The Raccoon City Times", that detailed the background of Jill Valentine, and also included that she was dismissed from the S.T.A.R.S. after the death of her partner, Leon Kennedy.[1]

The following is an excerpt from "The Raccoon City Times" that is accessible through a link above.

" During yesterday's press conference, Captain Hendersen noted that Officer Valentine had been suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder due to the recent death of her partner, Leon Kennedy. "Jill Valentine is one of our most gifted and intelligent police officers, but she just needs a good rest right now," said Captain Henderson. "She made wild accusations of monsters living in the Arklay Mountains. I think this leave of absence will give her time to clear her head," Captain Henderson continued. "

• He was an officer for the Raccoon City Police Department in the live action films like in the games. This was confirmed by Milla Jovovich.
• When Milla Jovovich talked about Leon on her twitter page, she referred to him as Leon S. Kennedy, thus confirming that Leon's middle name is Scott, just the same as his video game counterpart.

Gameplay

• Leon was the first character to be featured in an Over the Shoulder style game.
