Leon Powalski

Leon Powalski (レオン ポワルスキー Reon Powarusukī) is a member of the Star Wolf team, and the only original member other than Wolf himself that has consistently stayed with the team since Star Fox 64. Leon is very stubborn and only shows respect to his co-pilots. He has a warm relationship of mutual trust with Wolf. Leon's past is unknown, but most likely he had some past rivalry with Star Fox member Falco, whom he mainly concentrates on in Star Fox 64 and bickers with in Star Fox Assault.

Leon's personality has developed slightly since Star Fox 64. He has gone from a classy, competent pilot to a crazed, ruthless assassin who usually gives a deranged laugh after defeating a foe.

In Star Fox: Command, Leon's aircraft is called Rainbow Delta (レインボーデルタ Reinbōderuta). It lacks a standard laser, but instead it's armed with a Wide-Type lock, which enables him to lock onto all enemies in vision range and attack all of them at once.

Leon resembles a Veiled or Yemen Chameleon.

Leon is voiced by Shinobu Satouchi in Japanese. In English, he and Panther are together voiced by David Scully. Leon's voice greatly differs between the two versions. In the Japanese version, he has a rather calm, sinister tone of voice. In the English version of Assault, he is given a high-pitched, maniacal voice, in contrast to his deep, civilized tone of voice he had in the English version of Star Fox 64.

Leon's personality in Star Fox Command is quite interesting, as beneath his cold-blooded impression, it seems that he has a soft spot for peace (as hinted in his profile in the Pilot Gallery). When defeating the Anglar Emperor with Star Wolf, Leon rejoices, and says that he will look forward to parades with flowers and other such niceties. Wolf comically responds with a disturbed "Uhh... Sure...". His soft spot is also evidenced by the name of his deadly aircraft: the Rainbow Delta.
