“ | Hi. My name is Leith Pierre, and I'm the head of Innovation here at the Playtime Co. toy factory. If you're seeing this, then you're trespassing! | ” |
— Leith Pierre |
Leith Pierre (also misspelt as Laithe Pierre or Laith Pierre) is the head of Innovation at Playtime Co. He debuted in Chapter 1: A Tight Squeeze of Poppy Playtime and appeared in Chapter 2: Fly in a Web and Chapter 3: Deep Sleep. He is also in the Survivor tutorial of Project: Playtime.
Personality[]
Leith Pierre comes across as an ingenious and proud man, one who is very dedicated to his work. Despite his position & pride, he is apparently easily startled, going so far as to enact a ban to prevent anyone from hiding behind doors to scare him. Due to his elevated position in the company, he is apparently aware about the Bigger Bodies Initiative and its purpose, warning intruders about their security's wilder aspect and viewing Marcas Brickley's encounter as a "potential problem" to Playtime Co.'s secrecy.
As the head of Innovation at Playtime Co., Leith is not above mistreating his subordinates, speaking rudely to his employees and frequently threatening to fire them. One notable example is when he insulted Sharon for her poor management as a Boom Operator, going so far as to openly call her an idiot, adding on that idiots get removed from their posts. He also views employees in general as expendable and a waste of money, as seen when the Resource Extraction Specialist is caught by Huggy or when Maggie is taken by the Wuggies.
He is notably cruel and apathetic towards the experiments, treating them as inhuman monsters and disregarding their former humanity. He callously dismissed CatNap's optimism and hope that he would be saved by The Prototype, retorting that this prison is his home so he should get used to it.
Story[]
Leith gradually rose up through the ranks of Playtime Co. to become the Head of Innovation, one of the highest ranks within the Corporation; as part of this role he appeared in several advertisements for Playtime Co. Merchandise.
On March 21st, 1991, he interviewed Marcas Brickley about an event he witnessed, involving something that was "50 feet long with a thousand legs." Leith attempted to detract from this claim, subtly suggesting that Marcas may have witnessed a bunch of people walking together rather than a singular entity. However, Marcas is insistent that what he saw was not human. When Marcas denies having told anyone else of his encounter, Leith says he will just have security personnel skim through the cameras - an action Marcas protests at, saying that skimming would not get rid of the "monster" he saw. Leith loses his temper, berates him that Playtime Co. doesn't make monsters, and finally orders Marcas to get out of his sight.
In RESTRICTED disappearance, Leith documents the escape of Experiment 1170 via a vent system on June 6th, 1992, mystified at how this could occur without being detected. He attributes 1170's eventual recapture by two staff members to blind luck noting that, even then, achieving this cost the lives of several workers. He ends his report stating that the Innovation Department isn't happy, nor is he.
Leith is also present in the tutorial for Resource Extraction Specialist in Project: Playtime, alongside Sharon.
Trivia[]
- Leith Pierre unsuccessfully warns the player not to look at the Playtime Co. Security Feed.
- Leith Pierre is one of the five highest ranked employees, all of whom knew about the experiments going on at Playtime Co., the others being Elliot Ludwig, Stella Greyber, Eddie M.N. Ritterman, and the head of Production, theorized to be The Player.[1]
- CatNap's eyes can be seen during the recording of Leith Pierre.
- As Leith Pierre is mentioned in nearly every tape regarding Playtime Co., and also signs an important document in RESTRICTED disappearance, it can be presumed that his role as Head of Innovation is equivalent to the title of COO, or Chief Operating Officer. It could also be assumed that Leith is the true CEO of Playtime Co., as Ludwig was gone from the company by 1991.
