Leland is the former head of Codex.

Early life[]

Leland was an officer in the United States in the United States Marine Corps during the Vietnam War. During the war, he served as Eric Andrews commanding officer. He presumably became a member of Codex after his service in the war likey because he became disillusioned fighting in the conflict. In 1985, he approached his fellow former Marine Eric Andrews and the two carried out an attack against an embassy. Andrews refused to attack families and children but Leland had no reservations about attacking innocence as long as the job was completed

Leland rose through the ranks of Codex until he became the organization leader. He saved Gwendolyn Hayes from her the plane crash the government intended to kill her with; he did so by bribing CIA agents, turning them the other way. Leland made Gwendolyn his second-in-command and put her in charge of executing the plans detailed in File 47. He appeared to have complete faith in Gwen and trusted her to keep Codex's Scepter safe.

Leland Later approached Russ Taylor and attempted to acquire the Hades X1 and recruit him to the organization. Taylor refused Leland's offers so he ordered Martin Bishop to retrieve the bioweapon. This led to Codex assassinating five of Taylor's Spearhead Operations agents in order to acquire Hades X1.
