Leith Pierre

First seen in Chapter 1.

Leith Pierre was Head of Innovation at Playtime Co. and the voice on the first tape of Chapter 1. He took part in the Bigger Bodies Initiative, hired Harley Sawyer in 1990, and later gave the order that turned Sawyer into an experiment. Nobody knows what happened to him after the Hour of Joy.

Head of Innovation

Pierre introduces himself on the first tape of Chapter 1, a warning to trespassers that loops whenever the factory shuts for the day. He warns of hidden motion triggers that set off alarms and call the authorities, and he hints at harsher measures than that.

Keeping it quiet

The tapes mostly catch him managing a problem. On March 21, 1991 he films an interview with Marcas Brickley about a creature Brickley saw. He asks who else Brickley has told, says security will check the cameras, tells him to keep quiet and sends him away.

After Huggy Wuggy escaped, Pierre wrote a report saying the creature left through the vents unseen, and that finding it first was luck that cost lives.

He is one of the authors of the Cross-Department Report on Experiment 1188, dated February 20, 1991, along with Harley Sawyer and Stella Greyber. Experiment 1188 is CatNap, and the CatNap Check-In tape has Pierre visiting him in his cell. He tells CatNap that the children love him and the Red Smoke, and that the cell is where he belongs.

On the Stella Greyber Project Audit tape he questions Stella Greyber about the Bigger Bodies Initiative.

Harley Sawyer

A letter from Pierre asks Harley Sawyer to meet at the factory on January 15, 1990, and Pierre hired him then.

After the 1993 Theater Incident, Pierre, Stella Greyber and Eddie Ritterman met to decide what to do about Sawyer. Pierre said they could not kill him, because they needed him. He authorized the procedure that turned Sawyer into Experiment 1354.

On the tape of Sawyer waking up, dated April 1994, Sawyer asks who gave the order. Pierre says he did. Sawyer threatens to kill him.

What he found in Playcare

A journal entry of his in Chapter 5 records that staff found the Prototype, Poppy and Elliot Ludwig's body hidden in Playcare, after the Theodore Grambell incident of 1989. He writes that Ludwig's secret may have gotten him killed.

Chapter 5 also has a cassette labeled Pierre/Ritterman, August '95, and a recording of him plays in the Labs at the end of Chapter 4.
