"If she's gonna die for this thing, I for damn sure ain't leavin' it behind."

- Leland about the bag that caused Dee´s death.

Leland is an original character who first appeared in Bonnie's Story in Telltale Games' The Walking Dead: 400 Days DLC.

Unknown Location
Nothing is known about Leland's life before or as the outbreak began except that he was married to Dee.

"400 Days"
Two hundred and twenty days since the outbreak began, Leland was travelling by a cornfield with Bonnie and Dee. Bonnie's story starts off with Leland flirting with Bonnie while talking, mentioning that he and Dee found Bonnie while she was using drugs, they helped her to deal with it. After Dee shows up, Leland and Dee start arguing. This causes Bonnie, Leland and Dee to get attacked by Stephanie, Clive, Shel, and Roman because Dee stole supplies from them. While running away, Bonnie gets shot. Leland was trying to help her but Dee convinces him to run away into a cornfield. After Bonnie accidentally hit Dee, Leland shows up and asks Bonnie what happened. Depending on what Bonnie answers Leland will believe her or not. This will decide if Leland leaves with Bonnie or stays with Dee. When Leland follows Bonnie he grabs the bag that Dee stole, saying, "If she's going to die for this thing, I for damn sure ain't leavin' it behind." If Leland decided to stay behind a shot can be heard while Bonnie runs away. His lifeless corpse can then be seen beside Dee during the credits, with Roman looking on.

Killed By
If Bonnie leaves Leland behind to get away from the pursuers, he will stay to mourn his dead wife. It is implied by the sound of gunshots as Bonnie flees that Leland is killed by Roman.
 * Roman

Killed Victims
This list shows the victims Leland has killed:
 * Possibly numerous counts of zombies.

Dee
"We'll straighten this out; we will. Right, Dee? We can solve this out, we just need to get somewhere else."

- Leland arguing with Dee.

Leland is married to Dee, but is attracted to Bonnie. Dee has her own suspicions about her husband's infidelity, and goes as far as to refer to Bonnie as his "girlfriend". Leland and Dee constantly get into arguments and disagree about things. Despite it all, Leland does care a great deal for Dee, and is emotionally devastated upon seeing her dead body. He wishes to bury her, though there is not enough time and instead just says his final goodbyes.

Bonnie
"Look. You know I ain't goin' nowhere, right? Long as we're together, I'll be there for you. You ain't gotta worry. You know that, right?"

- Leland to Bonnie.

Leland and Dee found Bonnie while she was still hooked on drugs, and got her back on the right track. Bonnie has been thankful for Leland and Dee for what they had done in helping her. Despite being married to Dee, Leland has a romantic interest in Bonnie. Depending on in-game choices in this story, Bonnie can pursue a possible romance, or just stick to being friends with him. He accidentally angers Dee when he calls Bonnie "darlin'", which fuels his wife's speculation they are having an affair. When Leland comes across Dee's dead body, Bonnie has the option to lie or be honest with him.

Trivia

 * If Leland stays behind with Dee, then it is shown in the credits that he was indeed killed by Roman.
 * If Leland comes with Bonnie, they will abandon each other during an unknown time period. This can be heard in a dialogue between Tavia and the campers. Becca mentions that Leland left Bonnie alone if she stayed as Leland's friend, or that Bonnie ran away from him if she started a relationship with him, possibly implying a quite oppressive nature towards Bonnie.
 * There are two situations in which he will do either.
 * If you are honest to him about killing Dee with remorse, he will willingly go with you.  But will abandon Bonnie during some point before meeting the group, possibly because his feelings against Dee's death resurfaced.
 * If you lie to him about killing Dee, he will go with you unknowing that Bonnie had killed her.  Implications from ingame dialogue suggests his oppresive nature drove Bonnie to leave him.
 * Leland is one of three characters Adam Harrington has voiced, the others being Andrew St. John and Jerry.
