However, in the off-chance that Leon is not the fated secondary protagonist in Resident Evil Requiem, I would settle for literally any of them to show face. If not for pure fan service, then for what Requiem means for the franchise as a whole.

Requiem introduces a new type of protagonist to the series--a mousey and easily-scared introvert who's more of a victim than a hero.
