Leon Basset is the TV-adapted deuteragonist of The Walking Dead: Dead Reckoning. He is a deputy of the King County Sheriff's Department in King County, Georgia. He is seen working closely with Shane, as well as the other known deputy, Don.
Pre-Apocalypse
King County, Georgia
Little is known about Leon's life before the outbreak besides that he worked at the King County Sheriff's Department with Don. He may have also lived in or near King County, Georgia.
Post-Apocalypse
King County Sheriff's Department
"Domestic Disturbance"
Leon appeared as Shane's subordinate in this episode. He is first seen picking up an infected man named Robb Spanner at a bar who he believed to be drunk. Leon took him back to the King County Sheriff's Department and placed him in a holding cell. Leon resents Shane if Shane told him "dumbass".
"House Calls"
Leon appears if Shane calls for help, says Shane about his arrival to residence.
"Habeas Corpus"
Later, after Shane brought in a local civilian named Gary Taylor for domestic disturbance and a possible murder, Leon was bit in the thumb by Gary and it was debated for a while by Shane whether he was infected or not.
"Patient Zero"
He and Shane watched a news program. After, Patty appears and Leon says to Shane about their ex-relationship.
"First Blood"
After Don's death, Shane calls for help to Leon. Leon can save Gary if Shane tells him. After, he hears Patty's grunts, goes to check her.
"No Turning Back"
Shane encounters a zombified Patty while she trying to bite him. Leon can die or survive upon Shane's decision.
In-Game Decision
Hit Patty in the head / Pull Patty away (Alive): Shane can hit Patty or pull her, save Leon.
Hit Leon in the head (Undead): Shane can hit Leon, if he do. Patty will bite Leon and Leon will reanimate.
"Epilogue"
Leon Alive
Leon, on the other hand, decided to remain in King County, where his guns were, and assist the people there, similarly to Gary. He and Shane shook hands before the latter departed, heading for the hospital. As Leon -and Gary if he survived- watched him drive away, a now-reanimated Don leapt out of the police station and attacked Leon as the screen abruptly went black. It is implied that this is how Leon became infected and reanimated.
Leon Dead
Leon won't appear in this chapter if he died and Gary survived. However, if Gary died, along with Leon, Leon will appear as a zombie after Shane's leaving.
