Leon would return as the protagonist of ''Resident Evil 4''. The game revamps not only the established ''Resident Evil'' gameplay formula, but also the series' ongoing storyline. Set six years after the events of ''Resident Evil 2'', Leon has since become an agent for the U.S. Government and is assigned to rescue the newly-elected President's daughter, [[Ashley Graham]], who is being held in an undisclosed village in Europe. Her kidnappers turn out to be part of a religious cult known as the "Los Illuminados", which has taken control of the local villagers with a breed of parasites known as Las Plagas. Leon teams up once again with Ada Wong, who seeks to steal a sample of the parasites for her unknown employer, as well as with a Spaniard named [[Luis Sera]], a former researcher for the cult. He also confronts [[Jack Krauser]], a former acquaintance who disappeared two years prior to the events of the game and is now in league with the cult. Leon fulfills his mission by eliminating the cult leader, [[Osmund Saddler]], and escaping the cult's island headquarters with Ashley Graham.
