Leon Powalski

"Andross has ordered us to take you down."

- Leon's first words in SF64 on Fichina "I think I'll torture you for a while."

- Leon expressing his sadism "I think I'll torture you a bit before I cook you."

- Leon's first words in Starfox Assault

Leon Powalski is an anthropomorphic Chameleon and a member of Star Wolf, and is second to Wolf in piloting. Unlike previous Star Wolf members, he has remained in the team for as long as Wolf. He is a villain and anti-hero from the Star Fox games, and the supposed rival of Falco Lombardi. He is the Assassin of the Star Wolf Squadron who loves to torture and toy with his enemies before he kills them.

Early Life
Leon's origins and past are unknown. It is implied that he and Wolf have had a long-standing friendship/partnership, and has had a rivalry with Star Fox member, Falco Lombardi, whom he always attacks during dogfights.

Star Fox 64
Leon was introduced as a member of Star Wolf alongside Wolf O'Donnell, Andrew Oikonny, and Pigma Dengar. They were hired by Andross to intercept and destroy the Star Fox team on the planet Fichina. Leon and the rest of Star Wolf were defeated but not killed.

The Star Wolf team sustained severe injuries. Leon himself had the right side of his face, and his right eye replaced with cybernetics. Fueled by vengeance, each member was given a second chance and a new brand of ships called the Wolfen II. Again, they were defeated but not killed. Leon exclaims before crashing that Fox is "Too strong!"

Star Fox Assault
Leon was introduced again alongside Wolf and the newest member of Star Wolf, Panther Caroso. They engage in a dogfight with the Star Fox team for trying to sneak into their secret hideout. Again, they are beaten but not killed.

Leon and Star Wolf arrive later in Corneria to help Fox and his team fight back against the Aparoids, but only because they want to kill 'em themselves.

The Star Wolf team arrives again at the planetary gateway to help defend it against a large Aparoid fleet.

While the Star Fox team enters the core of the Aparoid homeworld, the Star Wolf team had followed them through the planetary gateway. They arrive inside the planet alongside Star Fox with the intention of destroying the Aparoids once and for all. Wolf order Leon and Panther to distract a strong group of Aparoids while Star Fox confronts the Queen. Somehow, they managed to escape the planet before it falls to pieces after the Aparoid Queen is destroyed.
