Leo Hartwig



Leo Hartwig was one of the scientists who worked on the Plasmid program for Sinclair Solutions and sought to create a new tonic formula, both as a means of self-defense and with the intention of selling his product. His formula consisted of Sports Boost and Armored Shell mixed together along with several tonics designed to increase muscle mass. He performed his first test on himself, and it turned him into one of the first Brute Splicers, roaming in Pauper's Drop. At some point after this he becomes a member of the Rapture Family serving under Grace Holloway as a sort of enforcer.

Hartwig makes a brief appearance in Pauper's Drop at the Fishbowl Diner. He appears when the player is returning to the train car after confronting Grace, and will attack the player in an ambush. He is like a regular Brute but he has aid from an Turret and some Splicers, making him more difficult than regular Brute's encountered so far. He is killed by the player in the heat of battle, and his only Audio Diary is found on his corpse.
