| “ | Hi. My name is Leith Pierre, and I'm the Head of Innovation here at the Playtime Co. toy factory. If you're seeing this, then you're trespassing! Yeah, we play this little tape on loop whenever we close the factory for the day. So trespasser, just to make you aware. While we pride ourselves primarily on our high quality toys and excellent childcare. We also pride ourselves on our security. For example, this facility is full of hidden motion triggers which, once set off, will turn on the factory's emergency alarms and directly contact the authorities! And that´s one of the more tame aspects of our security system. No spoilers... So, you've got my warning. It's not too late to turn around. I just hope you're certain whatever you're doing is worth it. | „ |

| “ | Theo, nobody's gonna save you. This prison is where you belong. We'll let you out here and there to go see the kids in Playcare, but your home is here. And as for the Prototype, his home is in the labs. THIS is your life now. Get used to it. | „ |

Leith Pierre is a major antagonist in the video game Poppy Playtime.
He is a neglectful executive and the Head of Innovation at Playtime Co. who assisted Harley Sawyer in the Bigger Bodies Initiative, creating experiments out of children for the sake of making more money. Following the death of Elliot Ludwig, he seems to have taken over the company's initiative.
He is voiced by Robin "Xycron" Nelson.
Biography[]
Past[]
Leith's early life is unknown but at some point he started working at Playtime Co. and steadily climbed the corporate ladder, eventually landing the prestigious role of Head of Innovation. In this capacity, he featured prominently in various advertisements for Playtime Co. merchandise. In 1990, when the company was beginning to fail over the Smiling Critters controversy, Leith Pierre hired Harley Sawyer to be “Head of Special Projects.”
Poppy Playtime[]
During a time when the company was failing, Dr. Harley Sawyer pitched the idea for the Bigger Bodies Initiative by turning people into Toys. Leith was fully on board with the projects and covered up his experiments, ready to kill anyone who got to close to the truth. He would frequently use the Head of Security to monitor Playtime Co. and its employees using Huggy Wuggy security cameras and other mechanisms.
On March 21st, 1991, he conducted an interview with Marcas Brickley regarding an unusual event involving a creature described as "50 feet long with a thousand legs." Leith attempted to downplay Marcas's account, subtly suggesting it might have been a group of people walking together. However, Marcas remained adamant that what he saw was non-human. When Marcas insisted he hadn't shared his encounter with anyone else, Leith threatened to review security footage, a proposition Marcas vehemently opposed, arguing that it wouldn't erase the "monster" from his memory. Losing his patience, Leith scolded him, asserting that Playtime Co. doesn't deal in monsters and ultimately dismissed him.
On March 30, 1991, he was approached by Rowan Stoll about possibility that the Huggy Wuggy statue secretly has a camera in it and complained it was creepy how he stared at children, thinking he was on to something.
On May 28, 1991, he approached Rowan Stoll to make sure he would not post any more videos, with Rowan being terrified of him and a bad liar.
He likely had some involvement as workers would would tamper with Rowan's car and try to have a car crash into him, then later have him eaten by Boxy Boo on June 15, 1991.
In a classified report labeled "RESTRICTED disappearance," dated June 6th, 1992, Leith documented the escape of Experiment 1170 through a vent system, expressing bewilderment at how it occurred undetected. He attributed the eventual recapture of 1170 to the fortunate intervention of two staff members, though he noted that it came at the cost of several lives. He concluded the report by stating the dissatisfaction of the Innovation Department, along with his own frustration.
After Sawyer's disappearance, he would oversee the imprisonment of Theodore Grambell/CatNap. Visiting him on his four year anniversary of becoming a bigger body, he told him about how he wasn't getting along with the other Smiling Critters and is now getting along with them and the kids. When CatNap made a comment about how the Prototype will save them, Leith reprimanded the feline on how nobody was going to save him and he was stuck in his cell forever, whether he likes it or not.
While not shown, he most likely survived the Hour of Joy as he is shown to be alive by the time of Project Playtime which takes place after the Hour of Joy.
Project: Playtime[]
He acts as the overarching protagonist of the spin-off Project Playtime, where he would use Resource Extraction Specialist(s) to carry on the Bigger Bodies Initiative, alongside his assistant, Sharon. In the tutorial, he guides the Resource Extraction Specialist employees Johnny and Maggie to continue the Bigger Bodies experiments. He has them complete puzzles while trying to avoid a Huggy Wuggy doll. Once they are finished, he asks them to rescue Johnny and Maggie before leaving on the Elliot Express. Both Maggie and Johnny would end up nearly dying because of this.
Personality[]
Leith Pierre is overall a narcissistic, self absorbed, greedy psychopath who only cares about profit and keeping the company alive no matter the cost. Although he showcases a charismatic, upbeat, affable and friendly front, this is merely a facade to hide his true nature one that he is quick to drop when agitated. He is more than willing to treat his employees like garbage, degrading and insulting them if they even remotely upset him. He dismissed Marcus Brinkley’s concerns about seeing a monster and told him to get out of his sight. He also regularly abused his assistant Sharon by threatening to fire her for the littlest mistakes or simply disturbing him. He also viewed them as expendable having showed no care when his resource extraction specialists were killed and simply was happy that he didn’t have to pay for their pensions. At one point he even threatened to strangle someone to death when they caused a incident at the factory that almost caused their crimes to be exposed. (The culprit would later turn out to be Harley Sawyer)
Much like Harley Sawyer, Leith lacks any morality whatsoever. He hired Sawyer and willingly allowed him to experiment on orphan children by transforming them into toys to use as slaves for the sake of profit. He even looked down upon them and showed them no sympathy having mocked CatNap for hoping he would ever escape his imprisonment. He even had Huggy Wuggy act as a security guard during the night and had him murder any intruders who enter the building after hours. Leith was also very adamant about covering up Playtime’s crimes. He would personally silence anyone who threatened to expose them by having them murdered such as he did with Rowan Stool. It’s even implied he had various innocent people murdered to cover up an incident at Playtime Co. justifying it by claiming they did what they had to.
Despite his nigh irredeemable nature he had some positive qualities. He suggested one of his resources extraction specialists to save Johnny claiming he had earned his for his hard work. He also is implied to have had respect for Playtime’s founder Elliot Ludwig, claiming that over the years he tired to carry on his spirit and keep his values. However, it’s likely that these views are delusional on his part as his actions completely spit on Elliot’s benevolent legacy.
