'A Space Bubble, brother, is one of the shittiest shits to ever grace the zone.'
― Leshiy

Leshiy was a Mercenary during S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky and became a member of Freedom during S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl.

Background

A short bio that was omitted from S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl describes him as follows.[1]

Leshiy, as his brother calls him, came to the Zone a young idealist. However, after few years of living a hair's breadth away from death, he turned into a cynical realist. Considers the Zone his home, and thinks those who failed are unworthy to walk the face of the Earth.

Appearances

Clear Sky

Leshiy was a squad leader in Hog's Mercenary group. They had a mission from an important client in which they had to retrieve an artifact near the center of the Zone. However, after an emission Leshiy and his squad became trapped in a Space Anomaly, a new discovery at the time. His radio messages were heard by Hog, Forester, and probably other stalkers in the area.

Leshiy and his team were trapped in an area that could lead to Limansk. Scar had to reach Limansk so that he could get to the Chernobyl NPP and stop Strelok before another disaster occurs. Scar needed Leshiy in order to get to Limansk, since the only road to Limansk was controlled by Renegades. Scar asked the Forester for help, who directed him to Hog. Hog told Scar that they were not sure what happened to Leshiy, and in order to hear Leshiy's radio messages, he needed to ascend a tower which was the home of several Bloodsuckers. After hearing the radio communications from Leshiy, it became clear that he was trapped in a Space Anomaly. Only Forester had insight on how to escape a Space Anomaly. He sent Scar to retrieve his Compass artifact which he acquired in a Space Anomaly. Forester used the Compass to find a path for Leshiy. As a result, Leshiy and his team escaped the Space Anomaly, and helped Clear Sky capture the bridge to Limansk.

Shadow of Chernobyl

Some time after the events of Clear Sky, Leshiy joins the newly relocated Freedom faction. He assumes a lesser role as a guard of the base's entrance, along with Twig. He is armed with the Sniper SGI, an unique variant of the SIG SG-550 assault rifle.

Trivia

  • Leshiy is the only one to call Scar by his callsign Scar instead of Merc. This is viewed when talking to him to claim your reward.
  • If all of Leshiy's team survives the assault on the bridge to Limansk, he rewards you with a Kolobok artifact.
  • If most of Leshiy's team survives the assault, he rewards you with a Flame artifact.
  • It is likely his Sniper SGI is the same SIG SG-550 he had in the events of Clear Sky, albeit slightly modified.
  • To date, Hog, Slasher and Leshiy are the only unique Mercenaries in the entire S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series remain totally neutral to the player.
  • He is the only expert ranked Mercenary in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky.
  • He is the only Mercenary to use a Stalker Suit.
