Why was he made a government agent, commanded directly by the President no less? He's a rookie cop who killed a bunch of guys who were a little harder to kill than the average person.
Certainly not worth the effort.
Soooo

He clearly made the right call given Leon can roundhouse kick a dozen adult men at once and knock them to the floor.
The same reason Jill Valentine was ex delta force at 21 and Rebecca was a full blown helicopter engineer mechanic with a full medical education at 19
Japanese choose fun entertainment over realism and which has sucked the life out of video games like a cancerous tumour turning them all into a grey congealed indentical paste since horse armor was a thing
he's sexy as hell, luscious styled hair
You answered the question yourself. He was made a government agent, which required training, which he went through. The experience of the outbreak gave him perspective and motivation only a survivor of that scenario could have, which made him invaluable, especially since he was already interested in being a protector.

He's one of like 12 people that made it out of Racoon City.
He trained further and gained more experience as an agent, remake made this explicitly clear.
Not that he had a choice(?
He was forced to do it under coercion that sherry and claire would be put in danger if he didn't put his tenacity and determination to use for the government.
This is what I assumed. He was essentially blackmailed but still yoing and he begrudgingly put up with it. He knew everything and if the g man took him and traind him further while reminding him of how special he wqs they could keep him close and under observation.
This doesn't make sense and must be some shitty RE6 lore. In the RE2/RE3 canon while the government was contracting Umbrella to make bioweapons, it didn't know the extent they were doing it and the outbreak was absolutely unplanned. After they firebombed Raccoon City they sanctioned Umbrella and conducted pretty-much-war crime trials against its staff. They didn't try to hide or cover up their involvement too much, given that they weren't acting maliciously in the first place.
>They didn't try to hide or cover up their involvement too much
you're going to have to prove this since there are sources that contradict that

gee i dunno OP why do you think persons who perform beyond expectations in their field are promoted in general. Nobody is born with special forces training dumdum they display characteristics compatible with the required skillset- and im pretty sure being one of less than a dozen people escaping a city full of fucking zombies that was shortly chalked qualifies as some sort of achievement. what exactly do you want the qualifications for higher positions to be if not "killing a bunch of guys"
Meh
He didn't have a choice. It was be a agent or be killed.
I don't think it was that extreme, but part of it likely was a conscription. They had good reason to suspect any RC survivors of having been involved in the outbreak, so the deal probably went like
>you proved yourself, join our secret service and we'll make sure you're free from any investigation or liability for raccoon city while we bring umbrella and others to court. you don't have to, but if you don't then you'll be held as a suspect in the incident.
The Pinkerton's would have killed him. President doesn't fuck around. Let's just say Leon was too handsome and they decided to give him one shot.
How does the remake handle the all of a sudden he’s an ex special op guy who served in a war with Krauser
>all of a sudden
he seemed pretty inept in RE2
the game takes place 6 years after RE2
I know that it’s just a stretch going from rookie cop to oh yeah I used to be part of a secret task force
In real life you can go from a fresh recruit to being part of a special forces team within 3-4 years or so if you're good. Especially if Leon were good enough to get on a fast track, it's very plausible that he was special forces with good combat experience by the time of RE4.
ok wait I’m sorry for some reason I thought Leon was special forces BEFORE RE2. that makes a whole lot of more sense forgive me
>he seemed pretty inept in RE2
For a rookie cop the dude outdid almost everyone he met.
fair enough, but so did Claire
He's an emo bitch with "le PTSD" who didn't want to be an agent and save people
He's a rookie cop who survived one of the biggest disasters in his world's history and now he's the super ninja equivalent of a special agent
It was also blackmail due to him knowing the truth about Racoon City and them holding Sherry as leverage for his cooperation
>It was also blackmail due to him knowing the truth about Racoon City and them holding Sherry as leverage for his cooperation
What? When did this come up? Is this some retarded RE6 lore?
hello secondary
Well, that's dumb. What the fuck do they mean that some little kid "knows too much"? Knows too much about what?
I don't know anything about RE lore save for the Anderson movies(god she's hot) and understood what anon was saying, not just saying, spoonfeeding.
>that's dumb
No, that's an ending slide from the original release of RE3, meaning they had that in mind well before RE4. Just because you think it's dumb doesn't mean it's not canon. I'm wondering if it existed before you did at this point since you had no clue about it.
I never beat RE3.
>Just because you think it's dumb doesn't mean it's not canon
I don't think canon matters at all anyway, especially not in RE. Unless you want plaga t-rexes to be canon. But yes, that epilogue is very, very stupid. Maybe something lost in translation.
Nah, I think you got embarrassed that you didn't know a basic fact about the original games and the only way for you to cope with it is to call it stupid.
>and the only way for you to cope with it is to call it stupid
Are you saying it isn't stupid?
My bad
It's not. They're going to take Sherry, not because she knows things but because she's EVIDENCE of what Umbrella was up to and and because she's a loose end connecting them and the government as the reason for an entire city being nuked, not to mention their interest in what's essentially a sample of the G-virus. Saying she knows too much is a euphemism for what the government is actually after.
But the government was done with Umbrella once shit went south. It's not like they kept working with them.
>she's EVIDENCE of what Umbrella was up to
How? She's a lead doctor's daughter and got vaccinated against the G-virus, that's the extent of her "evidence".
>the government was done with Umbrella once shit went south
No shit the government is cutting ties once they had to nuke a city to clean up a biohazard disaster, please read the link in
>How?

they created the C-Virus using her blood

>some little kid
Dude, did you play ANY of these games?
>this little kid totally knows how to create the g-virus or something!
Try again and think harder this time. You're sounding more and more like you didn't know and you're just saving face at this point.
Your right hand, comes off??
Biden really wanted Leon to fuck his daughter.
They forced him to, they kept Claire secured with her legs spread, vagina thoroughly lubricated, chemically induced ovulation and said if he doesnt serve the president then he'll have to secure the redfield bloodline and give up on any hope of being with Ada
