'''Exeter Leap''' is a character in [[PARTIZAN]]. He is part of [[The Rapid Evening]]. His playbook is '''the Infiltrator'''.
==Appearance==
Leap is [[Equiaxed]], and as such has integrated organic parts into his robot body. He has a camcorder head with a mouth; the mouth looks kind of like Crow T. Robot's from Mystery Science Theater 3000, but under a Geth eye.


== Backstory ==
He wears pastel and jewel-tone chino shorts and a mood ring color changing hoodie.

Leap is bold and reckless. He takes risks in most facets of his life, from his job as a pirate to his desperate actions in battles. Often, he rubs up against authority. Not only is he the most loudly opposed to being Clementine's prisoner, but he also sees [[Callister Drive Callister]] as a sellout for becoming a noble. Around nobility, he's indifferent to social etiquette. A common pastime for Leap is trying to catch food in his mouth, or throwing it for others to catch.
