Rank	Private
Unit	3rd Squad
Team	Fire-team
Weapon	M1 Garand

Background

Born in Connecticut and enlisted in the Army right after high school. Allen developed a strong friendship with Garnett since high school. They always have a sly and sarcastic remark for every situation and seem to pride themselves on that fact. He and Garnett often sparred with Pfc. Leggett over who was the better superhero, Superman (idolized by Allen and Garnett) or Batman (idolized by Leggett). The two are seen operating a bazooka during the battle at "Objective XYZ", neither of them with any great amount of skill.

Road To Hill 30

Allen is first seen on the morning of D-Day with Garnett. The two always appear together during the rest of the game. During the flanking of a farm house with Leggett, Allen and Garnett were both shot dead. Leggett's survival drew suspicion from the rest of the squad.

Earned In Blood

Allen is first seen during "Three Patrol Action" where he and Garnett join Hartsock's squad. In the "Hell's Corner" mission he is separated from Garnett for the first and only time.

Death

In the mission "Buying the Farm" in Road To Hill 30 Private Allen, accompanied by Private Garnett, and Pfc. Leggett attempt to flank the farmhouse using a pincer move. While at the rear the three were ambushed: Allen and Garnett were killed, while Leggett survived. Allen is seen in a trailer for Hell's Highway lying on the floor with Leggett in front of him; when Garnett is sniped, he is enraged and runs toward a German soldier and stabs him in the neck with his knife. In Hell's Highway, it is revealed that Leggett actually got into a fight with Allen, which resulted in Garnett's death by a sniper shot to the head. Allen kills three Germans with his knife and M1 Garand, before collapsing to the floor, apologising to Leggett, and dying. Leggett then tells Baker what had happened in a flashback cutscene from Hell's Highway.

Road to Hill 30

Leggett is first seen in the night of D-Day, where he joins Hassay and stays with him for the rest of the game. Leggett kept his teams in constant contact with Allied Command. When Baker and Hassay's teams attacked a German-occupied farmhouse, he led Allen and Garnett in an attempted flanking action. Unfortunately, they are ambushed and Allen and Garnett are both gunned down. Leggett became the scapegoat for the attack, since no one else saw him fighting and assumed he cowered in battle.

Hell's Highway

Throughout Hell's Highway Leggett is seen through visions by the main character, Matt Baker. Towards the end of the game the truth is revealed about what happened to Allen and Garnett while Leggett was leading them. According to the story Leggett gets into a verbal fight with Allen whilst patrolling around the back of the farm. The fight turns physical when Leggett punches Allen in the face and kicks him repeatedly on the ground, while also verbally abusing him at the same time. Leggett's screaming attracts the attention of three Germans who shoot Garnett in the head, while he is holding the so called "Death Pistol". Allen sees one of the Germans and stabs him in the neck with a knife. One of the other Germans shoots Allen at this point, but Allen lives long enough to kill the other two Germans with his M1 Garand. While all this is taking place we see that Leggett is just standing idly watching the event unfold before him. Leggett then screams Bakers name until he comes and talks to Leggett, who tells him what had just occurred. Baker urges Leggett to keep his mouth shut about the incident on the basis that the squad members would most likely seek revenge against Leggett.

Death

During the defense of Hill 30, Mac repeatedly orders Leggett to get armored support, apparently to no avail. When a German tank shows up on the battlefield, Leggett went into a crazed rage and shoots at the tank with his pistol, before being hit with a tank shell, immediately killing him. In Earned In Blood, Hartsock reveals that Leggett was indeed able to contact armored support, but could not receive their confirmation.
