León

"Do you want to be here, right now? And I don't mean here-here, I mean here in a cosmic sense, bro. Like... existence could be beautiful, or it could be ugly. But that's on you."

- León's anti-nihilistic speech.

León is a supporting antagonist of the USA Network drama TV Show, Mr. Robot.

He is portrayed by Joey Bada$$, in his first acting role.

Personality
Despite being a prominent member and a vicious hitman for the Dark Army, León is a genuinely nice guy. He is friends with Elliot, and loves talking about 90's TV Shows and such. Also despite being a stoner who always smokes weed and rarely does anything, León is surprisingly intelligent and geeky. Being a hitman, he is highly trained with knifes and guns.

However, he obviously isn't just a good guy. He does whatever Whiterose tells him to do, whether it be that he watches over Elliot in jail, or kills someone. He is therefore extremely loyal to the Dark Army.

León is extremely anti-nihilistic and values life alot. He makes a speech to Elliot about his views on nihilism.

Early Life
León, following his talkative personality, likes talking about his past. He was born and raised in Brooklyn, where he also helped raise his two sisters.

Prison Arc
During Elliot's prison arc, León is a very prominent character. He is ordered by Whiterose to watch and befriend Elliot. They become good friends and León constantly protects Elliot from sadistic inmates that want to kill or abuse him. In order for Elliot to survive prison, he recommends that he starts coming up with a good routine, since he obviously wouldn't survive in prison without one because of his shy and silent personality. León, however, doesn't have many problems in prison. A big group of inmates that were trying to hurt Elliot as much as possible all get killed by León and León only. This most likely means that León has a pretty fearful reputation in prison. Elliot and León almost always hang out, but when they aren't, León is often watching different shows. He watches Seinfeld, and doesn't really like the nihilistic type of humor that the show includes. He does get used to it after a while though.

Season 3
León kidnaps Mobley & Trenton and holds them hostage. He kills people if they won't comply. He also threatens them with a knife, and says that they don't want to know where it has been (he killed a nazi that was trying to rape Elliot in prison by stabbing him up his ass). He later puts them in his car and takes them to a very suburban desert far away from the city. Mobley and Trenton try sneaking into his car and driving home. Unfortunately, they were too shocked to be able to do anything. León is mostly surprised rather than angry, and orders them to dig a grave for Mobley's roommate that he earlier killed. After this, he drives them to a Dark Army place, where he leaves other Dark Army members to decide what to do with them. Eventually, the Dark Army members kill Mobley and Trenton.

After all that, León returns to his more affable self. While Irving has manipulated Mr. Robot and Elliot into coming with him to a barn house in the suburbs and Santiago has knocked Dominique and Darlene out, kidnapping them, León is waiting in the barn house. He doesn't really do anything other than sitting in the corner and smoking weed all the time.

After Dominique witnessed Irving's brutal murder of Santiago, she is absolutely traumatized. León notices this, and asks if she wants some weed in order to make her more calm, but she refuses. Whiterose originally orders Grant to kill Elliot, but also orders León to stop him from killing Elliot. Whiterose decides after a while that Grant shouldn't kill Elliot, which drives him into committing suicide. The Dark Army members are still there though, and want to kill Elliot. León steps up from where he is sitting and shoots the Dark Army soldiers, saving Elliot once again.
