LEON MCNICHOL
LM
AD Police officer. Has been chasing the Knight Sabers, and Priss specifically, for long enough that the pursuit has become something more complicated than police work. Competent, consistently frustrated by the gap between what the AD Police can legally do and what MegaTokyo's boomer problem actually requires. His relationship with Priss runs through the series as a background frequency that neither of them fully addresses. The show is honest about the limits of his jurisdiction without making him useless inside them.

Open page →The AD Police Can Fight Boomers; They Cannot Police GENOM
Leon McNichol · Daley Wong · Heavy Armor Without Corporate Power Open →The AD Police exist to respond to Boomer crime and are willing to throw armored units directly into fights that ordinary police cannot survive. What they do not have is the Knight Sabers' freedom to ignore jurisdiction, corporate pressure or orders from above.
Why it matters
Leon and Daley are not useless versions of the Knight Sabers. They are competent cops operating inside a system where GENOM can own technology, influence officials and close doors before an investigation reaches the people responsible. The Sabers can act precisely because they are outside that system.
