Uh, I'm pretty sure Leon killed himself to release the beast rune, he didn't do it for getaway reasons...

Leon didn't die at the end of Suikoden II. According to SARS, he retired to a "quiet village".

Well, It's more likely he did the last thing on his contract, Assassinate/terminate Riou, or he did a last effort and then abonded the cause of Highland.

He did it because Tir and his group were the only people who could have defeated the Silver Wolf. If it wasn't unleashed at that time, it could have released itself at a leater time--killing many people before being put down by those who were powerful enough.

so basically he unleased it to give you a final boss for the game and to put the true beast Rune to sleep.

Why did Leon unleashed Beast Rune on Hero?

It was Riou's last test to prove he was a force to be reckoned with. After making his way through the castle, defeating guards, Han, Seed & Culgan, Leon thought that if Riou accomplished all that, one more test still awaits. Leon's thinking was that Riou had no chance of beating the Beast Rune. Battle ends, Beast Rune defeated, Leon flee's back to Toran, not to be heard from again.

Actually SARS just gave the reason why. Had Leon not unleashed it, it would've eventually unleashed itself. Let us not forget that Jowy had been holding it at bay all that time.
I hope everything is going delicious.

So Riou and his party had to defeat the Wolf to release Jowy from his suffering of holding the Beast rune at bay.
And thus Jowy collaspes at the final duel.

So Maybe... Leon did it to save Jowy also, knowing that Riou will defeat the Beast Rune.

Although Leon could have just been buying time for his escape also.

and after suikoden 2, he probably returned to the village from suikoden 1 where he was recruited.

leon should of fought u in a battle before he realesed the beast rune, his attacks would of consisted of foul language and lots of talk taht confuses you cos everyone is dumb in your party at that time and cant keep up with leons mind games but since hes a brainiac and not a fight he could have high dodge but about as much hp as the mist monster he could also punch you like a bar brawler would, then after hurting him he laughs and unleashes it hahahaha, i just made all that up now was bored and thought it would be funny lol

Sounds kinda like the "Mediator" class from Final Fantasy Tactics, using verbal dialogue to affect the enemy. I would imagine Leon using some slick, discreet weapon, too, for some reason.

Heh, I honestly can't imagine Leon taking on six of you.

Thats so true! But if it been an other RPG he would turn into a freaky monster, destroying his own body and turning in to some kind of freaky super villian ala Venom or something.

Battling Leon one on one in a chess match to see if you can outsmart him. That would have been awesome to fight Leon he could of summoned a bunch of elite soldier zombies to battle with him. Leon could of also turned into some Resident Evil like monster that would be impervious to magic attacks.
