Leon

Leon (レオン, Reon) is a mercenary and Close Quarters Combat martial artist from the Dead or Alive series. He first debuted in Dead or Alive 2, and shares many similarities and a history with Bayman.
Leon entered the Dead or Alive Tournaments to prove that he was the strongest man in the world, to live up to the final words of his deceased lover, Lauren. He stopped entering the tournaments after Dead or Alive 3.
Though cut from the original roster of Dead or Alive 5, Leon later returned in its update, Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate.

As a mercenary, Leon traveled all over the world, wherever he could find work. While he was on the Silk Road, he met Lauren, a young thief, and fell in love with her. The two were in a loving relationship, until Lauren's sudden, tragic death in the desert. As Lauren died in Leon's arms, she said her final words: "The man I love, is the strongest man in the world."

It's unknown if she said it as a final sign of affection for her lover or for any other reason, but whatever she meant, Leon felt that he had to fulfill the last words of his lost love, and prove to her, himself, and everyone else that he was the strongest man on Earth.
