Leeroy Jenkins

Rare card · No. 61148

Leeroy Jenkins is a player character created by Ben Schulz in Blizzard Entertainment's multiplayer online video game World of Warcraft. The character was popularized in a 2005 viral video of game footage. In the video, having been absent during a discussion of a meticulous battle plan, Leeroy returns and ruins it by charging into combat while shouting his name as a battle cry. The video became an Internet meme. In response to the meme, Blizzard added Leeroy Jenkins into World of Warcraft as an official non-player character, and later as a minion card and cosmetic item in the online card game Hearthstone. During Overwatch's World of Warcraft collaboration, Torbjörn Lindholm received a voiceline calling out his own name in a similar fashion to Leeroy.
