“	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. He is also in the Survivor tutorial of Project: Playtime.

Personality

Leith Pierre seems to be an ingenious and proud man, someone who is very dedicated to his work and just like his work, he comes to be someone innovative and someone a bit jumpy, due to the fact that there is a rule about not hiding behind doors to scare him. He appears to be aware about the Bigger Bodies Initiative and its purpose, as he warns intruders about their security's wilder aspect and views Marcas Brickley's encounter as a "potential problem" to Playtime Co.'s secrecy.

Leith Pierre seems to be arrogant in his position as the head of Innovation at Playtime Co. and is not above mistreating his peers, speaking rudely to his employees and his workers, to the point of threatening to fire them. The latter in particular is shown when he insulted Sharon for her poor management as a Boom Operator and even called her an idiot, threatening her by saying idiots can get removed from their posts. He also views employees as expendable and a waste of money, as seen when the Resource Extraction Specialist is caught by Huggy and when Maggie is taken by the Wuggies.

Story

Leith was hired during an unknown time by Playtime Co. and eventually rose up to become the Head of Innovation, among the highest titles within the Corporation. He also appeared during advertisements for Playtime Co. Merchandise.

On March 21st, 1991, he is heard interviewing Marcas Brickley about an event he witnessed, stating that he saw something that was "50 feet long with a thousand legs." Leith attempts to subtly suggest that Marcas may have just witnessed a bunch of people walking together, but he insists what he saw was not human. Leith asks Marcas if he has told anyone else about this, which he denies. Leith decides to just have security personnel skim through the cameras, but Marcas protests against this, calling it a monster. Leith tells him that Playtime Co. doesn't make monsters and orders him to get out of his sight.

In RESTRICTED disappearance, taking place on June 6th, 1992, he states in a document how Experiment 1170 managed to escape via a vent system without any detection or realization from the Security was beyond his knowledge. He then states it was blind luck that he was detected by the two staff members and even then, it cost the lives of various workers. He ends by stating that the Innovation Department isn't happy, nor is he.

He also teaches us how to do our job as a Resource Extraction Specialist in Project: Playtime, present in the tutorial alongside Sharon to help him.

Trivia

• As mentioned above, Leith Pierre seems to be kind of jumpy,
  • This may connect to one of the rules seen in the Playtime Co. factory, that being "Do: NOT hide behind doors to scare Leith Pierre."
• Leith Pierre originally warned us not to look at the Playtime Co. Security Feed, but to no avail.
• Leith Pierre is one of the 5 higher-up employees who 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.
• Huggy Wuggy's hand can be seen during the recording of Leith Pierre.
• As Leith Pierre is mentioned in nearly every tape regarding Playtime Co. and signs an important document in RESTRICTED disappearance, it can be reasonable to assume that his role as Head of Innovation is equivalent to the title of COO, or Chief Operating Officer. It can also be assumed that Leith is the true CEO of Playtime Co., as Ludwig was gone from the company by 1991.
