History
Leland Owlsley was an accountant allied with Wilson Fisk via James Wesley.[1] After Fisk started dating Vanessa Marianna, Owlsley and Madame Gao feared that Fisk wouldn't remain unaffected by emotions. The two allied and devised a plan to try to kill Vanessa, by means of poisoning a handful of drinks that were being served at a charity party Fisk was attending with her.[2]
After Madame Gao left New York, Leland confronted Fisk, who had already discovered some irregularities in his records. Owlsley admitted the blame for stealing money from Fisk as well as trying to kill Vanessa, but he revealed a piece of information to prevent Fisk from killing him: Owlsley had kept Carl Hoffman, a dirty cop who could blow Fisk's operations wide open, in hiding as leverage. Despite this, Fisk killed Leland out of rage.[3]Notes
- Bob Gunton portrayed Leland Owlsley as a main character in the first season of the online series Marvel's Daredevil.
Trivia
- In a scrapped idea for Marvel's Daredevil, Owsley was going to live until a post-credits scene in the first season finale. The scene would have featured Owsley heading to a boat to escape, stumbling into a mysterious man that would have shot him. After Owlsley's death, the camera would have panned up to the chest of Owlsley's assailant, showing a skull painted in his body armor, teasing the Punisher, a character who debuted in the second season of the show.[4]
