The Resident Evil franchise is known for its action-packed gameplay, chilling narratives, and memorable characters. Among these characters is Leon S. Kennedy, who has formed close bonds and partnerships throughout the series. Let’s take a look at some of Leon’s best friends, ranked from trusty comrades to indispensable allies.

5. Hunnigan

Ingrid Hunnigan may be more of a voice in Leon’s earpiece than a comrade-in-arms, but her role as his support and information liaison in “Resident Evil 4” and “6” makes her an essential friend. She assists Leon with navigation, provides him with critical updates, and always has his back from afar.

4. Helena Harper

A newcomer to the series in “Resident Evil 6,” Helena quickly becomes one of Leon’s allies through their shared experience and battle against the C-virus outbreak. Although their partnership is short-lived, Helena’s combat skills and determination put her high on the list.

3. Claire Redfield

Teaming up with Leon during the Raccoon City outbreak in “Resident Evil 2,” Claire’s brotherly bond makes her an unforgettable sidekick. Together, they navigate the zombie-infested city and uncover Umbrella Corporation’s dark secrets. Their survival-driven friendship earns Claire a special spot among Leon’s confidants.

2. Ada Wong

The relationship between Leon and Ada is complex; filled with tension, affection, and mystery since their encounter in Raccoon City. Despite seeming like foes at times due to Ada’s secretive nature, there is an undeniable connection between them that often sees Ada dropping everything to help Leon when he’s in a bind.

1. Ashley Graham

The President’s daughter might seem like an unlikely best friend for a special agent like Leon, but throughout “Resident Evil 4,” their bond grows exceptionally strong. Tasked with rescuing her means Leon spends a significant amount of time ensuring Ashley’s safety. Her trust and reliance on him cement Ashley as one of Leon’s greatest responsibilities turned into a deep friendship by the time they escape their ordeal.

Each of these characters has played a pivotal role in shaping Leon S Kennedy’s journey through the Resident Evil series, providing assistance, emotional support, and forming life-long bonds amid chaos and biohazard threats. Whether standing by him in battle or guiding him via radio, all have earned their place as Leon’s best friends.
