Leon Powalski is a member of the Star Wolf team of space pirates, serving as the group's specialist in assassination, and is the only member other than Wolf O'Donnell himself that has been on the team since Wolf formed the notorious group. Contrary to his desire to express a reputable greatness, very little is known about who Leon was before his perpetual placement on the Star Wolf team of wanted criminals, other than his personal motivation for inflicting pain and suffering for cash. He also has an equally perpetual rivalry against Falco Lombardi, the ace member of the Star Fox team.
Biography[]
Much of Leon's past is unknown, but he was known to be motivated by pain and suffering, as well as money, and most likely had some past rivalry with Falco Lombardi, whom he mainly concentrates on during dogfights. When Star Wolf was initially formed as a group of elite evil pilots to defend the key routes to Venom after being funded and equipped by Andross, Wolf teamed up with Pigma Dengar, Andross's nephew, Andrew Oikonny, and found the mysterious Leon Powalski in a rough bar on Venom, where Leon was hired because of his delight in torturing opponents before destroying them.
Trivia[]
- His name could be a reference to Leon Kowalski, a character in the 1982 film Blade Runner.
- In Star Fox 64, the quote "Annoying bird! I am the great Leon!" has been made into a popular internet meme, like many other character lines from this game.
- Following the above note, in Star Fox Assault, Leon's opening statement is "Ha ha! I think I'll torment you a bit before I cook you!" which resembles his opening statement, "I think I'll torture you for a while!" when fighting Star Wolf on Bolse in Star Fox 64.
- Leon is the only Star Wolf member in Star Fox Zero who does not have a secret battle, thus his personal sub-weapon remains unknown.
- In Star Fox 64, Leon has a smooth gentleman-like demeanor. However, in Star Fox Assault, his personality became more wild and unpredictable. This aforementioned behavior can even be seen in Star Fox 2.
- Leon's trophy description in Super Smash Bros. For 3DS/Wii U describes him as "Star Wolf's resident sniper." The description also claims that Leon favors a sniper rifle, despite him never being seen wielding one in any Star Fox game.
- In the description for the Star Wolf team in Starlink: Battle for Atlas, it states Leon comes from Venom.
