Experiment 629 more commonly known as Leroy, is the titular secondary antagonist of the animated film, Leroy & Stitch.

He is the newest enforcer of Jacques von Hämsterviel, reluctantly created by a coerced Jumba, who seeks to capture and destroy all the previous experiments (especially Stitch) and help Hämsterviel conquer and rule the galaxy. He also is the latest experiment of Jumba and Stitch's archrival.

Personality

Due to fundamentally being Stitch with none of the good traits he adopted upon befriending Lilo, Leroy is a merciless, cruel, battle-hungry and sadistic critter who relishes dominating and terrorizing his opponents or innocent bystanders for the hell of it. He also enjoys going all out in destructive rampages if allowed to and is more than willing to aid in mass murder or even genocide to ensure his master's reign. Unlike even Experiment 627 he doesn't have an ounce of honor in him, rendering him the evillest of Jumba's experiments, an inherent trait deliberately engineered on him on Hämsterviel's orders. He is impossible to rehabilitate and thus his "one true place" is in prison.

Despite his destructiveness and pure evil personality, he does appear to be loyal to Hämsterviel, and never tries to usurp or rebel against him (though he is perfectly willing to laugh at and mock him for his failures), likely as a result of programming. He and his clones also appear to be fond of "Jailhouse Rock", and are content with dancing to the music in their prison cells after their defeat.

Biography

After Jumba, Pleakley, Stitch and Lilo parted ways to chase after their dreams, the mad scientist went back on working on experiments (albeit no longer for Hämsterviel) but was forced to partner with Hämsterviel again under threat from Captain Gantu, utilizing an unfinished experiment as a template. Jumba was ordered to make the experiment similar to Stitch but stronger and evil enough to never be able to be reformed (similarly to 627), after the experiment was finished, Hämsterviel named him "Leroy" and the latter emerged ready to fulfill his master's plans, Stitch came in to arrest Hämsterviel and Gantu (having tracked them down) but was forced to fight his newest "cousin" who emerged victorious and trapped Stitch, taking his captain uniform in the process and was then also cloned several times over, creating an army for Hämsterviel and Gantu.

After defeating Stitch, Leroy stole his identity and used it to hijack Stitch's ship and use it to go to Planet Turo and overthrow the Galactic Federation, installing Hämsterviel as the new Chairman, during the travel he got a call from Lilo through the telecommunication pad and tried to fool her to get information out of her about Earth but upon being discovered was ordered to hang up the call and just help the takeover.

After the original Leroy successfully rounded up all the Experiments on Earth and imprisoned them inside a stadium so Hämsterviel could destroy them all at once, Hämsterviel and the rest of the Leroy army arrived on Earth to witness the end of the other experiments but was briefly thwarted when Stitch destroyed the laser and caused it to crush both him and Hämsterviel, leading to the latter unleashing the entirety of the Leroy army to finish the job. With that, the original Leroy and his clones went on to fight the other experiments once Stitch rallied his cousins (and a recently redeemed 625/Reuben) to fight back; while his clones took on the other experiments, Leroy had a rematch with Stitch that ended in a humiliating defeat, though he recovered and his clones proceeded to gain the upper hand on the experiments through their numbers, coming close to victory until Jumba remembered their weakness failsafe and helped Lilo and Stitch organize all their friends (including the recently reformed Gantu) to perform "Aloha Oe" and successfully glitch and shut down the entire Leroy army, with the original being the last to shut down.

Leroy was last seen incarcerated in the Galactic Federation prison, dancing to Elvis' Presley's "Jailhouse Rock" alongside his clones, while an angry Hämsterviel just grumpily tapped his foot along to the music.

It's unknown if he is still in prison after Hämsterviel somehow managed to escape by the time of the non-canonical Stitch! anime.

Presumably, he's still in jail with his clones and boss in the timeline of the spin-off series Stitch and Ai where Hämsterviel is shown to remain behind bars.

Trivia

• Discounting the Chinese experiments seen in Stitch & Ai, Leroy is the last experiment made by Jumba.
• Unlike other experiments in the franchise Jumba was forced to create him, and it's also the only one who doesn't have any real flaws or defects in his code (such as the "cousins'" uncontrollable behavior before their reformations or 627's laughter weakness); with his one weakness to "Aloha Oe" music being deliberately engineered by Jumba as a fail-safe to bring him down.
• His designation as '#629 was fan-made at first, with it only being fully confirmed in a bonus chapter for the one-shot manga Stitch and the Samurai.
