* ''[[Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City/Characters|Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City]]''
 
== Main Characters ==
Line 54:
Co-protagonist of the first ''Resident Evil'', alongside Chris, and also protagonist of the [[Resident Evil 3: Nemesis|third game]]. She's a strong-willed woman and shares a deep friendship with Chris.
 
She's the primary player character in ''Resident Evil 3'', in which she attempts a "last escape" from the doomed Raccoon City. Aside from the horde of undead standing in her way, she has a bigger problem to deal with, in the form of Nemesis, a B.O.W. specifically designed to hunt down and kill any surviving STARS members.
 
Jill goes on to be one of the founding members of the BSAA with Chris, and is the primary playable character in ''Revelations''.
Line 77:
* [[Expy]]: {{spoiler|Her look in ''Resident Evil 5'' resembles [[Haunting Ground|Fiona Belli]]}}.
* [[Fragile Speedster]]: In the first game, she has less health than Chris, but was faster than him. She is also this type of character in ''The Mercenaries'' mini-games, typically packing low power [[More Dakka|rapid fire]] weapons with powerful [[Kick Chick|kicking attacks]], [[Murderous Thighs]] and low vitality.
* [[Hidden Depths]]: As shown in "''Lost in Nightmares"'', she's quite the accomplished pianist, playing a very superb rendition of "Midnight Sonata". And this is ''after'' an extended period without practice.
* [[Hot Amazon]]: Brad's right; out of all the female characters, Jill fits this trope the best.
* [[The Immune]]: As per ''Resident Evil 5'', Jill is basically a walking sack of antibodies. {{spoiler|1=Whatever Carlos injected her with in ''Resident Evil 3'' has given her complete immunity to the T-Virusvirus and all derivatives thereof, which made her useless to Wesker as a test subject. She further stacks the deck by, in ''Revelations'', injecting an experimental T-Abyss vaccine}}.
* [[In-Series Nickname]]: ''The Umbrella Chronicles'' states that, yes, she ''did'' have the nickname "The Master of Unlocking" at the RPD.
** [[Ascended Meme]]/[[Fandom Nod]]
* [[Intercontinuity Crossover]]: Jill is arguably the most iconic character in the series. She's the first canon-verse character to cross over to the films, and she represents ''Resident Evil'' in ''[[Marvel vs. Capcom 2]]''. She returns in ''[[Marvel vs. Capcom 3]]'' as [[Downloadable Content|DLC]], with her ''Resident Evil 5'' look.
Line 113:
* [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl]]: She's a ''midget'' compared to any guy teamed up with her.
* [[In-Series Nickname]]: Dollface, Ms. Do-It-Yourself, princess, honey... All given by Billy.
* [[Kill It with Fire]]: In ''Resident Evil Zero'', both her and Billy need to [[Kill It with Fire]] with leech-zombies. In ''The Umbrella Chronicles'', her counterattack is pushing the zombie off and throwing a small explosive at it. In the ''Resident Evil'' remake, she says how she needs to set off the self-destruct mechanism in Chris's scenario. It may be important to contain the outbreak, but that's also all the proof that STARS is going to get... In ''Mercenaries Reunion'', she gets flame spray.
* [[The Medic]]: Her job on the STARS squad: in the first game, she can heal Chris when he visits her in the first aid room of the mansion, and in ''The Mercenaries'' mini-games, she starts of with and benefits more from medical items.
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Her unlockable costumes are probably the most fanservicey, most of them [[Bare Your Midriff|leaving her tummy bare]]. Her "evil" costume from the remaster of ''0'' has [[Zettai Ryouiki]] and booty shorts. Probably the best known of Becky's alternate fanservicey getups is her RPD basketball kit she wears on the [[Easter Egg]] photo that you can find in Wesker's desk in ''2'': a matching pair consisting of a green sports bra and green booty shorts, a red headband and green Converse All-Stars.
* [[Science Hero]]: Rebecca's specialties other then medicine being handling chemicals, including those that result in the take-down of the [[Man-Eating Plant]].
* [[Teen Genius]]: The reason for her [[Improbable Age]], she is a newly minted STARS member when disaster strikes.
Line 130 ⟶ 131:
{{quote|''"I'm gonna scrub this virus from the face of the earth!"''}}
 
Introduced in ''[[Resident Evil 2]]''. A rookie police officer, who unfortunately was caught in the Raccoon City outbreak ''on his first day on the job''. He later returned in ''[[Resident Evil 4]]'', ''[[Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles]]'', ''[[Resident Evil 6]]'', ''Gaiden'' (non-canon) and the movie ''[[Resident Evil: Degeneration|Degeneration]]''. Like Chris, he has made a vow to rid the world of viral weapons. An intelligent man with a strong sense of justice, he currently is employed as a federal agent of the United States government and answers directly to the president.
 
* [[Always Save the Girl]]: After losing Ada once, this seems to have become a principle for him.
* [[An Offer You Can't Refuse]]: ''[[Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles]]'' puts forth the explanation that, following the events of ''[[Resident Evil 2]]'', Leon and Sherry were captured by the US government. They subsequently forced Leon, whose experience was highly sought after, into service as a special agent using Sherry's life as leverage.
* [[Badass]]: For most people, defeating a sinister cult of monstrous puppet masters is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. For Leon? That's just how he earns his paycheck.
* [[Badass in a Nice Suit]]: In the [[PlayStation 2]] port and onwards, [http://smhspanthers.k12tn.net/web_student_projects/Matt%27s_css_page/bamboo%283%29/images/Leon_and_Ashley_Alternate_Costumes.gif his second alternate costume is this]{{Dead link}}, complete with a [[Nice Hat]] ''and'' a [[Scarf of Asskicking]]. He even has a special reload animation when he wears the costume while equipped with the Chicago Typewriter. His pose in the status menu also changes.
* [[Bishonen]]: He might just fall under this. While he's not very effeminate (''just look at his muscles''), Leon is much more of a pretty-boy than any of the other male protagonists.
** One of the Policia in the beginning of ''Resident Evil 4'' asks if he "forgot his makeup".
Line 207 ⟶ 208:
Chris's younger sister, Claire was introduced in ''Resident Evil 2'' alongside Leon, returned in ''Code: Veronica'' where she found her brother, and later reunited with Leon in ''Degeneration''. She's one of the few characters without special training, yet she still holds up fairly well against the zombies.
 
She is the only character who's kept the same American voice actress ([[Alyson Court]]) throughout every appearance she's made, including ''Degeneration'' (Ada—usually voiced by Sally Cahill—had a different actress in ''The Umbrella Chronicles'').
 
* [[Action Girl]]: She survives a T-virus outbreak more than once, and takes out a squad of Umbrella security with a flamable tank.
Line 299 ⟶ 300:
* [[Heel Face Revolving Door]]: Seriously, nobody knows whose side she's on!
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: In Leon's B scenario. Subverted in that she survives it (although Leon doesn't know that).
* [[I Can Still Fight]]: In ''The Umbrella Chronicles'', one scenario is about her fighting her way out of Umbrella's lab despite being covered in wounds.
* [[Kick Chick]]: With her signature melee move since ''Resident Evil 4'' being a "Fan Kick".
* [[Kicking Ass in All Her Finery]]: Her evening dress in ''Resident Evil 4''. Also in ''Resident Evil 6'', where her alternate costumes are a white and gold qipao.
Line 328 ⟶ 329:
* [[The Glomp]]: She likes to hug Claire everytime she can.
* [[Ill Girl]]: Her mutated father implanted her with a G-embryo. She was vaccinated to prevent the virus replacing her cells, but the vaccine only suppresses the effects of the virus, instead of eliminating it outright.
** In the years that followed, the virus adapted to Sherry's body, and instead of causing rapid mutation and degeneration, it causes the body to heal itself, as was originally envisioned for the G-Virusvirus by Sherry's father.
* [[Ironic Echo]]: Early reports on ''Resident Evil 6'' seem to indicate that Sherry's relationship with Jake Muller is a direct inversion of her father's partnership with Wesker.
* [[Tagalong Kid]]: In ''Resident Evil 2'', she serves as this to Claire... once she stops trying to run away from her, at least.
Line 360 ⟶ 361:
=== Steve Burnside ===
[[File:388199-steve large 4131.jpg|frame]]
{{quote|''"I'm glad that I met you ... I... I love you... Claire..."''}}
 
The seventeen-year-old son of an Umbrella double agent appearing in ''Code: Veronica'', captured and sent to prison on Rockfort Island along with his father. He managed to escape in the chaos of an outbreak of the T-Virusvirus along with Claire Redfield, who he found himself teaming up with beyond the prison.
 
* [[An Axe to Grind]]: His [[Weapon of Choice]] when he's {{spoiler|a giant monster.}}.
* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: He has more than one scene of being this.
* [[Bling Bling Bang]]: He first takes the Gold Lugers.
* [[Did Not Get the Girl]]: {{spoiler|On account of a nasty case of viral mutation followed by death.}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Dying Declaration of Love]]: "I-I'm glad that I met you. I-I love you...Claire." In ''[[Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles]]'', [[Tear Jerker|he doesn't get past "love".]]}}.
* [[Emo Teen]]: Though it's not unjustified. If you need specifics, {{spoiler|his dad worked for Umbrella and became a mole. Umbrella found out, killed his mom and imprisoned both his dad and himself. Then there's the [[Zombie Apocalypse|viral outbreak]], he has to kill his own dad to prevent him from chomping on Claire}}...}}
* {{spoiler|[[Face Monster Turn]]}}: See {{spoiler|[[Tragic Monster]]}} below.
* [[Fiery Redhead]]
Line 376 ⟶ 377:
* [[Guns Akimbo]]: First his Lugers, then his machine guns. If he weren't [[Dual-Wielding]]... he probably wouldn't be Steve.
* [[Hot-Blooded]]
* {{spoiler|[[I'm Cold... So Cold...]]: Inverted. He comments that Claire is warm.}}.
* [[The Internet Is for Porn]]: In ''The Darkside Chronicles'', he mentions that the guards at Rockfort Island had computers that were used for games and porn.
* [[Lampshade Hanging]]: Again in ''The Darkside Chronicles'', he has a tendancy to lampshade what's going on.
* [[Magic Pants]]: {{spoiler|Averted in ''Code: Veronica'' and played straight in ''The Darkside Chronicles'', of the everything-but-a-small-portion-of-the-pants-ripping variety.}}.
* {{spoiler|1=[[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]/[[Eyes of Gold]]/[[Hellish Pupils]]}}: {{spoiler|As a monster, he has slitted pupils, gold around the pupils, and the rest of his eyes are red.}}.
* [[Stepford Smiler]]: Type A.
* {{spoiler|[[Tragic Monster]]: In the second half of the game, he's captured by Alexia and mutated. He rages as a monster for a short time before he turns back and dies.}}.
 
 
== Supporting Characters Introduced In ''[[Resident Evil Zero]]'' ==
=== Billy Coen ===
[[File:billyfullpicoy9 1030.jpg|frame]]
{{quote|''"Listen, little girl, if you haven't noticed there's some pretty freaked out things on this train. And I, for one, wanna' get out of here. I don't think we stand a chance of doing it alone."''}}
 
Former Marine, Billy was wrongfully sentenced to execution for the slaughter of 23 people in Africa. However, when his transport through the Arklay mountains was overrun by mutated leeches (Nono, seriously...), he escaped. He proceeded to team up with Rebecca Chambers, and the two investigated zombie filled trains and a research facility in the woods. He was last seen in the woods around the mansion area, and hasn't been heard from since.
 
* [[Badass]]
* [[Chained by Fashion]]: He wears handcuffs throughout the game, dangling off of one wrist. He manages to pick them off by the end of the game, and he discards them by tossing them off of a cliff.
* [[Death Faked for You]]: By Rebecca, at the end of the game.
* [[Hidden Depths]]: Despite how brutish he seems more often than not, {{spoiler|he's remarkably good at playing the piano.}}.
** Tip of the iceberg. {{spoiler|When Rebecca finds him after he gets washed away, they come upon a pile of skeletons. Somehow, Billy is aware that Marcus used them as test subjects for the Mother Virus.}}. Someone knows a little more than they're letting on.
* [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl]]: One of the brawniest male characters, partnered up with the smallest adult female character.
* [[Inferred Holocaust]]: One [[Wild Mass Guessing|possible reason]] he didn't show up in later games? The last you see of him is him walking into a forest infested with man-eating monsters, unarmed.
** Then again, [[Memetic Mutation|he can fit a grenade launcher in his pants.]]
** Possibly averted, as [[Word of God]] states that they plan to have him return in the future.
* [[Jade-Colored Glasses]]: Billy is almost bizarrely aloof about his conviction, resigned to his fate and cynically shot down Rebecca when she tried to be optimistic about it. And yet...
* [[Knight in Sour Armor]]: ... the cynical, wrongfully convicted murderer has a powerful sense of justice. He's the one who convinces Rebecca to partner up with him and he's the one who refuses to go back on his word.
* [[I Won't Say I'm Guilty]]: Granted, he's not.
* [[The Nicknamer]]: To Rebecca.
* [[The Quiet One]]: Man of few words.
* [[What Happened to the Mouse?]]: Hasn't been seen or heard from since ''Resident Evil Zero''. The only continuity nod is in ''[[Resident Evil 2]]'', where Rebecca reported him dead.
** Where she misspells his surname as "[[Spell My Name with an "S"|Koen]]"...
 
 
== Supporting Characters Introduced In ''[[Resident Evil 4]]'' ==
=== Luis Sera ===
[[File:luis.jpg|frame]]
{{quote|''"A little rough, don't you think?"''}}
 
Appearing in ''Resident Evil 4'', showing up mysteriously to aid Leon from time to time before running off. He claims to have been a policeman in Madrid before later admitting that he was also once a researcher for Los Illuminados. He does his best to help Leon and Ashley.
 
* [[The Atoner]]: He goes well out of his way to help Leon and Ashley because of the responsibility he feels for the situation at hand.
* [[Badass Spaniard]]
* [[Badass Long Hair]]
* [[Casanova]]: He claims to be "quite the ladies' man.".
* [[Handsome Lech]]:
{{quote|'''Luis''': "I see the president has equipped his daughter with ballistics."}}
* [[Heel Face Turn]]: Though he went through it before Leon ever met him.
* [[Hot Scientist]]: Just look at the guy!
* {{spoiler|[[Killed Off for Real]]}}
* [[My Name Is Not Durwood]]: Leon seems incapable of correctly pronouncing his name. In the form of a [[Big No]], it reaches [[Narm]] proportions.
* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: He acts like a sleaze, but as the notes, the medication and the ''laser'' he created attest, he's a genius. Even Ada calls him "brilliant."
* {{spoiler|[[Sacrificial Lion]]: He has a moderate role in the story and goes out of his way to help Leon and Ashley as much as he can. Because he used to work for Saddler on the Las Plagas project, he feels responsible for everything that happened. Ergo, Luis tries to get a cure ready for Leon and Ashley's parasite problem. Saddler kills him right in front of Leon and steals the sample, forcing Leon to find another way to cure the infection much later on}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Sacrificial Lion]]}}
* [[Unkempt Beauty]]: Long greasy hair never looked so good.
 
=== Jack Krauser ===
[[File:jackkrauser 2 6793.jpg|frame]]
 
An antagonist in ''Resident Evil 4,'' he literally shows up in the last section of the game, though he's one of the causes of the whole mess: Hehe's the one who originally kidnapped Ashley. Also a playable character in ''The Darkside Chronicles'', which serves as his [[Start of Darkness]], showing the actual mission he worked with Leon and why he hooked up with Wesker.
 
* [[Anti-Villain]]: Somewhat of a Type II, given the [[Start of Darkness]] shown in ''The Darkside Chronicles''.
* [[Badass Abnormal]]: ''The Darkside Chronicles'' shows us that he was pretty badass ''before'' {{spoiler|getting infected.}}.
* [[Blade Below the Shoulder]]: {{spoiler|In addition to increased speed and endurance, the infection also mutates his left arm into a ''gigantic metal blade'' which you can use in the Mercenaries minigame.}}.
* [[Blood Knight]]: He enjoys the thrill of the battle, and acts like he's having a ball during his duel with Leon in ''Resident Evil 4''.
* [[Blood Knight]]
* [[Compensating for Something]]: Implied by Ada.
* [[Dirty Coward]]: Played with in ''The Darkside Chronicles''. In the last few missions, Krauser essentially breaks under the strain, scrambling with fear from the giant viral monsters attacking him and Leon, even (mentally) desperately begging Leon to save his ass when he thought the odds were too great. Despite all this, and an extremely injured arm, he fights competently and professionally and never really lets any of this show.
** The game justifies this as a result of an ''extensive'' military career; his professionalism and experience tends to be highlighted throughout the campaign. Which makes [[The Reveal]] of his inner thoughts to be all the more frightening. The point at which you realize just ''how'' disassociated his thoughts are from his actions is when the warning bells start going off.
* [[Disney Death]]: Played straight and subverted. {{spoiler|You would ''think'' beating the tar out of him with Leon ''and'' having a stone tower explode and collapse on him would be enough to kill Krauser. It doesn't, but Ada later manages to put him down for good anyways.}}.
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: For Leon. Both are ''[[Knife Nut]]''s, worked for the US government, and even served on the same mission in ''The Darkside Chronicles.''. Ironically, Krauser falls to the dark side because he ''liked'' his work with SOCOM so much, so when he {{spoiler|all but loses one arm and faces an end of his military career, he turns to Wesker.}}.
* [[Face Heel Turn]]: Ends up turning to Wesker (and presumably faking his own death).
** [[Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal]]: One of the major factors in his allying himself with Wesker was because of deep anger about feeling used by the United States Military, especially when they didn't even request for him to join up with the organization to stop bioweapon threats, yet they allowed Leon to join, and later their firing him because the Javier mission had him injured in his arm with it not fully recovering. That would probably explain why Krauser, despite swearing an oath to his native country, was perfectly willing to undergo a mission to kidnap the President's daughter.
** [[Fallen Hero]]
* [[Good Eyes, Evil Eyes]]
* [[Good Scars, Evil Scars]]: The giant scar on his face is supposed to make him look more intimidating. When he puts war paint on his face, it lessens the appearance of it.
* [[Green-Eyed Monster]]: Has shades of this when he learns about Leon's being ordered to join the secret organization to stop bioweapons, despite the fact that Krauser, at least in his viewpoint, would have willingly joined up to aid the government get rid of the bioweapons, and yet was not even given that chance.
* [[Hypocrite]]
* [[Knife Nut]]: And used to make him seem a good deal like an Evil Opposite for Leon, his former teammate.
* [[Last-Name Basis]]: Everybody refers to him as "Krauser", making his first name Jack hard to find.
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: Of the Mercenaries, he's got the largest health bar, his bow is extremely powerful, his physical attacks will ''demolish'' just about anyone, ''and'' he can run at a pretty good pace.
** But he becomes a [[Mighty Glacier]] when injured (he becomes incredibly slow; which is not good when Super-Salvador is chasing you).
* [[Nerves of Steel]]: Played with,; see [[Dirty Coward]] above.
* [[Nice Hat]]: A raspberry beret.
* [[The Paragon Always Rebels]]: The bio for Krauser in ''The Darkside Chronicles'' noted that he had a long and outstanding service in the military prior to his ultimate fall.
* [[Psycho Supporter]]: By ''[[Resident Evil 4]]'', he is very much loyal to Wesker, presumably because of his healing his arm so he can be a soldier again.
* [[Remember the New Guy?]]: "I died in the crash 2 years ago... Is that what they told you?" What crash? What mission? Who are you?
* [[Rival Turned Evil]]: ''The Darkside Chronicles'' lays out the rather tragic story. Leon and Krauser only knew each other for the one mission, but they earned each other's respect and friendship, and from Leon's point of view, parted as friends. [[Beneath the Mask|In reality]], because of a combination of insane stress of the mission, fear of rejection by the government after major injury, and subsequent fascination of power with which he could liberate himself from others' control, Krauser sought after organic weaponry to augment himself immediately after that mission, breaking all bonds with Leon and the US government (although the fact that the US government fired him because of his injury was probably a huge factor in that last part of his viewpoint).
* [[Shell-Shocked Veteran]]: Similar to [[Metal Gear|Gray FOX]], Jack Krauser feels he is useless outside of the battlefield, and that being a soldier is his calling, to the extent that he often underwent mercenary missions even when he was off-duty from SOCOM. This is a large part of the reason why he ultimately turned to Wesker's help after {{spoiler|the US Government fired him due to his arm injury never really recovering.}}.
* [[Stab the Scorpion]]: In ''[[Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles|Darkside Chronicles]]'', he stabs a snake that's about to strike Leon.
* [[Step Three: Profit]]: Although he kidnapped Ashley Graham, its also implied that he intended to interfere with Ashley Graham's getting a plaga strain and have it delivered to Wesker. What he planned to do with her afterwards is left ambiguous.
* [[Warrior Poet]]: He develops into a rather cynical philosopher over the course of ''The Darkside Chronicles''.
* [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]]: {{spoiler|Inverted. Even after death, he still served some use to Wesker with the latter autopsing his body and retrieving the Dominance Plaga to gain his plans.}}.
 
=== Ashley Graham ===
Line 472 ⟶ 470:
{{quote|''"I'm never turning into one of them! Never!"''}}
 
The president's daughter that Leon must rescue in ''Resident Evil 4''. Before the game's release, she was thought to be Sherry by some.
 
* [[Badass Damsel]]: In her scenario.
Line 478 ⟶ 476:
** Hilariously so.
* [[The Chick]]: While most of the time she's pretty much a [[Damsel in Distress]], there's a few times in which she makes herself useful.
* [[The Dev Team Thinks of Everything]]: A minor example. When you play with the default outfit, Ashley won't let you look under her skirt if she's above you (she'll close her legs and admonish you for trying). Play with the second outfit (where she's wearing a pop-starlet kind of outfit with a pair of long pants) and she doesn't respond if you try the same thing.
* [[Damsel in Distress]]: She sticks with you for a couple of chapters when you first find her before traps in the castle separate you. The next two times you find her, she wind up kidnapped again by the end of the chapter.
* [[The Dev Team Thinks of Everything]]: A minor example. When you play with the default outfit, Ashley won't let you look under her skirt if she's above you (she'll close her legs and admonish you for trying). Play with the second outfit (where she's wearing a pop-starlet kind of outfit with a pair of long pants), and she doesn't respond if you try the same thing.
* [[Eyes of Gold]]/[[Curtains Match the Window]]
* [[Improvised Weapon User]]: She can use candles/lanterns in the rooms when you play her.
* [[Kill It with Fire]]: One of her few attacks is to throw candles at enemies.
* [[Gag Boobs]]: A result of Luis's Lampshading.
** Further lampshaded, the trophy for rescuing her?
{{quote|"Secure the Ballistics"}}
* [[Improvised Weapon User]]: She can use candles/lanterns in the rooms when you play her.
* [[Kill It with Fire]]: One of her few attacks is to throw candles at enemies.
* [[Panty Shot]]: Allegedly, the panties have a rather detailed graphic...
* [[The President's Daughter]]
* [[Stone Wall]]: Armor Ashley is completely invincible to any form of attack. It is a perfectly viable strategy to use Armor Ashley to lure enemies away from Leon as he snipes them from a distance... with a rocket. Ashley will be perfectly fine.
* [[Video Game Caring Potential]]/[[Video Game Cruelty Potential]]: Depends on your take on [[Escort Mission]]s.
* [[Wrestler in All of Us]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0Tg1btDrMA No kidding!]! Do it right, and you can have [[Lethal Joke Character|her]] performing Leon's very [[Suplex Finisher|suplex move]] on enemies!
** Ashley uses the same controls as Leon, but since she never finds any weapons in her chapter, you're not supposed to be able to fight. If you manage to hit a monk with one of the doors, though, you can run up and use one of the context-sensitive melee commands.
** Sadly, said ability only works in the original [[Game Cube]] release.
 
Line 500 ⟶ 498:
Leon's [[Mission Control]] in ''Resident Evil 4''.
 
* [[Beautiful All Along]]: Normally, she dresses and looks rather plain (not that Leon minds), but once she tidies up a little, well...
* [[Beautiful All Along]]
* [[The Glasses Gotta Go]]: At the end of ''Resident Evil 4'', her last conversation with Leon has her without the glasses and Leon immediately notices it.
* [[The Glasses Gotta Go]]
* [[He Knows About Timed Hits]]: "I'm sending you a playing manual!"
* [[Meganekko]]: Wears glasses all the time. It led to a lot of [[Wild Mass Guessing]] that she was an established character in disguise.
* [[Meganekko]]
* [[Mission Control]]: Acts as Leon's mission control on both ''Resident Evil 4'' and ''Resident Evil 6''.
* [[Mission Control]]
* [[Sexy Secretary]]
 
Line 511 ⟶ 509:
{{quote|''"Got a collection of good things on sale, stranger!"''}}
 
A strange [[Zero Punctuation|pirate-merchant guy]] introduced in RE4''Resident Evil 4''. Clad in a black, hooded coat and purple neckerchief, the Merchant would be available at some point during the level to sell and buy items. He's a mysterious and quirky fellow and gained quite the fanbase as a result.
 
* [[British Accents]]: For whatever reason, he is voiced with a Cornish/rural accent, commonly thought of as a "pirate" accent.
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "Wot're ye buyin'?"/"Wot're ye sellin'?"
* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"|Everyone]]: CallsHe Himsells stuff and has no official name, therefore he's just "The Merchant]]".
* [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]]: Subverted. He's a good guy.
* [[Intrepid Merchant]]: No matter how far you go, he'll always be ahead of you to sell his wares.
* [[Large Ham]]: He's always happy to see Leon or Ada, emphatically calling them "STRANGER!" when making good deals, possibly because they are the only ones trading with him.
* [[Large Ham]]
* [[We Buy Anything]]: "I'll buy it fer a high price."
* [[We Sell Everything]]: Well, everything you need to survive a zombie-infested Spanish town.

Chris' partner during ''Resident Evil 5'', with whom he develops a strong bond. She joined the BSAA to fight against biological weapons since her parents had been victims of experiments carried out in Africa with said weapons.

* [[Achey Scars]]: Repeatedly throughout ''[[Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles|Darkside Chronicles]]'', she clutches her arm in pain.

* [[Blondes Are Evil]]: Subverted. {{spoiler|She's a T-Veronica virus infectee, with more than a passing resemblance to [[The Baroness|Alexia]] [[A God Am I|Ashford]]... and}} she's one of the good guys.
* [[Bloody Murder]]: {{spoiler|Fire blood.}}.
* [[Blue Eyes]]: For [[Innocent Blue Eyes|innocence]].
* [[Body Horror]]: Her right arm is {{spoiler|necrotic. When unleashing her powers, it appears to be stripped down to the bone.}}
* [[Bodyguard Crush]]: She really does like Leon.
* [[Body Horror]]: Her right arm is {{spoiler|necrotic. When unleashing her powers, it appears to be stripped down to the bone}}.
* [[Character Development]]: Becomes more proactive throughout ''The Darkside Chronicles''. {{spoiler|By the end, she comes to understand herself and her powers better, learning how to hold on to her soul and maintain control of herself by embracing both humanity and the pain that comes with it.}}
* [[Character Development]]: Becomes more proactive throughout ''The Darkside Chronicles''. {{spoiler|By the end, she comes to understand herself and her powers better, learning how to hold on to her soul and maintain control of herself by embracing both humanity and the pain that comes with it}}.
* [[Color Coded for Your Convenience]]: She wears all white. She's naturally the '"pure" character in ''Darkside Chronicles''.
* [[Color Coded for Your Convenience]]: She wears all white. She's naturally the '"pure" character in ''The Darkside Chronicles''.
* [[Damsel in Distress]]: She has the sense to break out and run for the heroes, though.
* [[Damsel in Distress]]: She has the sense to break out and run for the heroes though.
* [[Does Not Like Shoes]]
* [[Earn Your Happy Ending]]: {{spoiler|Throughout ''The Darkside Chronicles'', we are shown ''numerous'' examples where virus infectees meet very messy ends. The end of ''The Darkside Chronicles'' says that Manuela coexists stably with the Veronica virus and is no longer terminally ill, very likely as a result of her personal growth.}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Eleventh-Hour Ranger]]: She's been with you for a while, but she'll join the fight against the final boss with her powers. She'll do most of the damage too, if you let her.}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Eleventh-Hour Superpower]]: Unleashes the powers granted to her by the Veronica virus right before the final boss fight. She's able to toss her blood out as large explosive fireballs, vastly speeding up the process of whittling down the final boss.}}.
* [[Foil]]: To Alexia Ashford, especially as she is presented in ''The Darkside Chronicles''. {{spoiler|Both are Veronica virus infectees with similar powers, coexisting with the virus, but are at polar opposites on the morality globe.}}.
* [[Freaky Is Cool]]: Krauser thinks so, at least.
* [[Good Scars, Evil Scars]]
* [[The Ingenue]]: She is soft-spoken as all get-out, but also intelligent and highly courageous. The naivety fades out as she comes to develop her own philosophy regarding the Veronica virus and its gifts {{spoiler|which certainly serves her better than ''everyone else'' who tried to use it for power.}}.
* [[Leitmotif]]: She even sings it.
* [[Let's Get Dangerous]]: Right before the final boss, she decides to quit sitting back ... {{spoiler|Finallyfinally allowing herself to use her zombie superpowers.}}.
* [[Mad Scientist's Beautiful Daughter]]: With regards to her father, Javier Hidalgo, a drug lord and bioterrorist.
* [[Playing with Fire]]
* [[Red Right Hand]]: The bandages on her arm are covering scarring that is {{spoiler|from her infection with the T-Veronica Virus}}.
* [[Scars Are Forever]]: Averted in the bad ending. {{spoiler|Just before she dies, her arm heals up.}}.
* [[Sweet and Sour Grapes]]: The essence of her relationship with {{spoiler|the T-Virus within her. If the pain of living sickly gets too much, she can just let go and become a monster--... that's the very basis of the T-virus, as ''The Darkside Chronicles'' shows again and again. It is withstanding pain and holding on to both the good and bad in life that allows her to live with the virus, and Krauser and Leon's faith in her gives her a reason to do so.}}.
* [[What Measure Is a Non-Human?]]: Somewhat discussed in ''The Darkside Chronicles''. {{spoiler|Leon's only heard of psychos wanting the Veronica Virus or people horribly mutating if they were forced to contract it. He expresses shock that it was used as a treatment. Once he adjusts, though, he shoots down Krauser's idea that they should kill her before she becomes a threat.}}.
* [[Woman in White]]: Runs around the entire game in a tattered white bloodstained mini dress.
 
 
== Supporting Characters Introduced In ''[[Resident Evil: Revelations]]'' ==
=== Parker Luciani ===
[[File:222px-Parker Luciani 6836.jpg|frame]]
 
Jill's partner in ''Revelations'' and a relatively new BSAA agent. {{spoiler|The year before joining the BSAA, he was a member of the Federal Bioterrorism Commission, where he got to witness the Terragrigia Panic first hand with his partner Jessica.}}.
 
* [[An Axe to Grind]]: Carries an axe as his melee weapon during his present day segment.
* [[Big Brother Mentor]]: He was rather protective of Vester during the Terragrigia Incident, but he also followed the theory that rookies need a bit of "towel-snapping" in order to grow up.
* [[Call Back]]: {{spoiler|He calls Raymond "Cadet,", which was Raymond's rank when they were coworkers during the Terragrigia Panic.}}.
* [[Form-Fitting Wardrobe]]: A wetsuit.
* [[Hot-Blooded]]
* [[Perma-Stubble]]
* [[Sir Swearsalot]]: He swears much more than the other characters in ''Revelations''.
* [[Too Many Belts]]: [[Justified Trope|He's wearing a wetsuit for the mission on the Zenobia and has all his equipment strapped onto him.]].
 
=== Jessica Sherawat ===
Line 616 ⟶ 613:
 
* [[Faux Action Girl]]: Jessica is ostensibly as capable as any other BSAA agent in the series, and to her credit, she survives right alongside Parker in the levels set during the Terragrigia Panic. As Chris's partner, however, she does next to nothing, and is mostly remembered for the [[Ms. Fanservice|abbreviated wetsuit]] she puts on when Chris's game shifts to the Zenobia.
* [[Flirting Under Fire]]: She's capable of keeping up a breezy, vaguely flirtatious dialogue with Parker while ''their position is being swarmed by Hunters,'', and she does everything short of throwing herself at Chris while they're investigating hostile territory swarming with BOWs.
* [[Friendly Sniper]]: Carries a large rifle in the current-day missions with Chris. {{spoiler|Turns out that she isn't so friendly.}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Karma Houdini]]}}: {{spoiler|In a radical departure from the series's previous plot conventions, Jessica manages to pull off a heel turn, yet also manages to survive the events of the game.}}.
* {{spoiler|[[The Mole]]}}: {{spoiler|It turns out she's actually working for the Global Pharmeceudical Consortium along with Vester. She's given a sample of T-Abyss by him in a post-credits scene}}.
 
=== Raymond Vester ===
[[File:171px-Raymond 8459.png|frame]]
 
A member of the FBC also present on the ''Zenobia'' along with Parker and Jill in ''Revelations''. Another survivor of the Terragrigia Panic. {{spoiler|Boarded the ''Queen Zenobia'' with his partner Rachel, but they become separated in an attempt to restore power to the vessel. She is ultimately claimed by the T-Abyss Virus.}}.
 
* [[Affectionate Nickname]]: {{spoiler|Parker still calls him "Cadet."}}.
* [[Agent Peacock]]: Not a straight example of this, but he's more effeminate-looking than the rest of the male cast.
* [[Dead Partner]]: {{spoiler|Rachael, but he's not aware of this when he first mentions her.}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Double Reverse Quadruple Agent]]: See [[The Mole]] below}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Faking the Dead]]: Jessica shoots him while he's masquerading as Veltro and he pretends to die so he can confront her himself.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Faking the Dead]]: Jessica shoots him while he's masquerading as Veltro and he pretends to die so he can confront her himself}}.
* [[I Can Still Fight]]
* [[I Can Still Fight]]: Insists this, even as Parker and Jessica are escorting him to safety from a slew of Hunters.
* {{spoiler|[[The Mole]]: Employed by O'Brian to be his informant within the FBC, as part of a plan to reveal Lansdale's involvement with Veltro (which also happens to be the real reason why he's on the ''Zenobia''). Unfortunately it turns out that he's ''also'' employed by the same company Jessica is, and provides her with a sample of T-Abyss.}}
* {{spoiler|[[The Mole]]: Employed by O'Brian to be his informant within the FBC, as part of a plan to reveal Lansdale's involvement with Veltro (which also happens to be the real reason why he's on the ''Zenobia''). Unfortunately, it turns out that he's ''also'' employed by the same company Jessica is, and provides her with a sample of T-Abyss}}.
* [[New Meat]]: With regard to the FBC anyway. He was with the US Military before joining them, but this didn't prove experience enough for taking on bioterrorism incidents, and he was subsequently badly injured during the Terragrigia Panic.
* {{spoiler|[[Double Reverse Quadruple Agent]]}}
 
=== Clive R. O'Brian ===
Line 639 ⟶ 636:
The director of the North American BSAA during the time of ''Revelations''. Was heavily involved with the Terragrigia Panic as well as the ''Queen Zenobia'' Incident.
 
* [[Batman Gambit]]: {{spoiler|Orchestrates the return of Veltro using the abandoned ships, a disused airport and Vester, going as far to deceive his own agents to achieve this. It's all for the greater good to reveal Lansdale's involvement in Veltro.}}.
* [[Cool Old Guy]]
* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]
* {{spoiler|[[Turn in Your Badge]]: Resigns from his position after the events of ''Revelations'', but is kept around as an advisor.}}.
 
=== Quint Cetcham ===
Line 659 ⟶ 656:
Another BSAA operative introduced in ''Revelations''. He hangs out with Quint and is a close-combat specialist.
 
* [[Bash Brothers]]: With Quint.
* [[But Not Too Black]]: He's one of those dudes who doesn't have an immediately identifiable ethnicity. Best guess: he's half-black, half-white.
* [[Code Name]]: "Grinder".
* [[Bash Brothers]]: With Quint.
* [[In the Hood]]: Wears a green hooded sweater under his fatigues, although it doesn't exactly make him look brooding or threatening.
* [[Kukris Are Kool]]: Uses two of 'em as his melee weaponry of choice.
Line 667 ⟶ 664:
 
 
== Supporting Characters Introduced In ''[[Resident Evil 6]]'' ==
=== Helena Harper ===
 
Leon's companion in ''Resident Evil 6''. She is a government agent who holds herself responsible for the virus outbreak in Tall Oaks.
 
* [[It's All My Fault]]: Her word for word reaction after Leon shoots the zombified president.
 
=== Piers Nivans ===
 
A BSAA operative serving under Special Operations Unit Alpha Team, and Chris's partner in ''RE6Resident Evil 6''.
 
* [[Early-Bird Cameo]]: First appeared in the preview chapter of serialised manga ''BIOHAZARD: Marhawa Desire'', in September 2011.
** His first name was mistakenly translated there as "Beards,", which caused a lot of amused reactions from Western journalists and fans.
 
 
== Villains Introduced in ''Resident Evil'' ==
 
=== Albert Wesker ===
Line 690 ⟶ 687:
The series's chief antagonist, Wesker has been directly or indirectly responsible for the events of every game, and always seems to come out on top. He has a stronger rivalry with Chris than with any other character.
 
* [[Animal Eyes]]: After coming [[Back from the Dead]] the first time: glowing red eyes with slit pupils like a cat's.
* [[A Father to His Men]]: Going by his referring to S.T.A.R.S. as "lovely" (see [[Even Evil Has Standards]]/[[Pragmatic Villainy]] below), he did to some extent care for the S.T.A.R.S. unit, although that doesn't stop him from {{spoiler|1=feeding them to the B.O.Ws as test data under his volition and Umbrella's command.}}
* [[A God Am I]]: By ''[[Resident Evil 5]]'' he's gone this way, after absorbing too much of Spencer's deluded philosophy.
* [[Animal Eyes]]
* [[Arch Enemy]]: To all the protagonists, but especially Jill and Chris.
* [[Back from the Dead]]: Repeatedly.
* [[Badass Abnormal]]: As ''The Umbrella Chronicles'' establishes, he was a [[Badass]] long before he injected himself with the Progenitor Virus.
* [[Badass in a Nice Suit]]: In ''The Umbrella Chronicles'' and in ''Resident Evil 4''.
* [[Badass Longcoat]]: In some of ''The Umbrella Chronicles'' and most of ''Resident Evil 5''.
* [[Big Bad]]: For the original and ''Resident Evil 5''. His influence is felt across the entire series as well.
* [[Blackmail]]: Want to know the reason why Wesker got Robby Burton to aid him in luring several STARS to their death? It's because he threatened to hurt his family if he didn't do so. Ironically, he had no intention of carrying out the threat, which [[Villain Ball|bit him in the butt when he admitted it]].
* [[Blond Guys Are Evil]]
* [[Blue Eyes]]: Going by renders of Wesker prior to his mutation (without his sunglasses), his eye-color was blue.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni|Blue Oni]]: To Birkin's red.
* [[The Chessmaster]]: Nothing, no one,<ref>Except Ada once.</ref> and no event is out of his scope when he's scheming; you will be accounted for.
* [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder]]: First as [[The Mole]] for STARS, then double-crosses Umbrella, kills {{spoiler|Spencer}} and ''then'' pulls a [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]] on {{spoiler|Excella.}}.
* [[Color Coded for Your Convenience]]: All black(and later red/orange), for evil. Even if he wears deep navy blue during the Mansion Incident, it still counts.
* [[Dark Messiah]]: During his villainous breakdown in ''[[Resident Evil 5]]'', he tells Chris that he doesn't plan on destroying the planet Earth, but rather he plans to save it. Unfortunately, his method of doing so involves exterminating several people with the Uroboros virus.
** Ironically, given Jake Muller, {{spoiler|Wesker's son,}}, carrying the only thing that would remove the bioterrorist viruses from the world, Wesker may in a way have saved the world, in a sense.
* [[Death-Activated Superpower]]: How he became even ''more'' badass after the first game.
* [[Dirty Cop]]/[[The Mole]]: In the first ''[[Resident Evil]]'' game, he was the leader of STARS, and also happened to be under Umbrella's employ. In fact, he lured them to the mansion to have more test subjects.
** Slight subversion to the former trope, as it is made clear that he was with Umbrella from the start.
* [[Dodge the Bullet]]: Can individually dodge bullets fired from automatic weapons, unless he isn't aware of the player's position.
* [[Enemy Mine]]: In ''The Umbrella Chronicles'', he fights Sergei as Jill and Chris fight T.A.L.O.S., which is Sergei's experiment. In ''Code: Veronica'', it looked like him and Chris would fight Alexia together, but then he ran off.
* [[Estrogen Brigade Bait]]: To the Majoritymajority of Femalesfemales Fansfans at least.
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]/[[Pragmatic Villainy]]: Although he makes it clear that he does plan to destroy STARS to gain battle data for the B.O.Ws, his choice of words when revealing this implies that he is not particularly happy about having to do so.
{{quote|'''Wesker:''' The Tyrant virus leaked, polluting this whole place... and unfortunately, I had to give up my lovely members of S.T.A.R.S....}}
* [[Evil Mentor]]: To Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine, as he says that they were trained under him {{spoiler|in the reveal that he was the mole to Umbrella}}.
* [[Evilutionary Biologist]]
* [[A Father to His Men]]: Going by his referring to S.T.A.R.S. as "lovely" (see [[Even Evil Has Standards]]/[[Pragmatic Villainy]] below), he did to some extent care for the S.T.A.R.S. unit, although that doesn't stop him from {{spoiler|1=feeding them to the B.O.W.s as test data under his volition and Umbrella's command}}.
* [[Evil Mentor]]: To Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine, as he says that they were trained under him {{spoiler|in the reveal that he was the mole to Umbrella.}}
* [[Final Boss]]: Of ''[[Resident Evil 5|RE5]]''.
* [[Flash Step]]: By ''Resident Evil 5'', his [[Super Speed]] takes this form at times, especially when [[Dodge the Bullet|dodging bullets]].
* [[Genius Bruiser]]: Is repeatedly stated as having been a child prodigy by [[Apocalyptic Log|files]] you find throughout the game. He can also punch you across a room.
** And through doors made of stone.
** Heck, even before he faked his death and mutated, he was skilled enough in martial arts to take down zombie dogs with no effort, and was actually able to go toe-to-toe with an Ivan (which would have been far more powerful than the Tyrant he "got killed" by) during the events of ''Resident Evil Zero'', and also during that time, he was part of the research team.
* [[A God Am I]]: By ''[[Resident Evil 5]]'', he's gone this way, after absorbing too much of Spencer's deluded philosophy.
* [[Go Mad from the Revelation]]: Prior to paying Spencer a visit, Wesker was a pretty level-headed [[Chessmaster]]. Afterwards (once he learns of his origins) he jumps off the deep end and forms a god-complex.
* [[Go Mad from the Revelation]]: Prior to paying Spencer a visit, Wesker was a pretty level-headed [[Chessmaster]]. Afterwards (once he learns of his origins), he jumps off the deep end and forms a god-complex.
* [[Good Eyes, Evil Eyes]]: He has freaky orange and gold eyes slit like a Snake, [[Sunglasses at Night|that is when]] [[Cool Shades|you actually see them.]] Naturally, he's evil.
* [[Good Eyes, Evil Eyes]]: He has freaky orange and gold eyes slit like a Snake, [[Sunglasses at Night|that is when]] [[Cool Shades|you actually see them]]. Naturally, he's evil.
* [[The Heavy]]: He's still working for Spencer in ''[[Resident Evil 1]]'', but it's Wesker who actually moves the plot along. He takes over this role again in ''[[Resident Evil 5|RE5]]''.
* [[The Heavy]]: He's still working for Spencer in ''[[Resident Evil 1]]'', but it's Wesker who actually moves the plot along. He takes over this role again in ''[[Resident Evil 5]]''.
* [[Humans Are the Real Monsters]]: If certain portions of his [[Hannibal Lecture]] towards Chris and Sheva during the final level of Resident Evil 5 is to be taken literally.
* [[Humans Are the Real Monsters]]: If certain portions of his [[Hannibal Lecture]] towards Chris and Sheva during the final level of ''Resident Evil 5'' is to be taken literally.
* [[Immortality]]: Implied to be a Type 2, as he looks like he is only in his twenties, even when, by the time of his {{spoiler|true death}}, he was a lot closer to his late forties. Most likely, this was the result of the result of the virus he injected himself with.
* [[Impaled with Extreme Prejudice]]: This was the cause of his "death" in the first game (both the original and the remake) in all scenarios except for the Barry Burton Lives ending (in which case, he is shot by Barry, and later either ends up decapitated offscreen, or escaped completely, depending on whether it is the original version or the remake, respectively.).
* [[Implacable Man]]: Throw something at him. Chances are it won't hit him in the first place or that it won't keep him down for more than a minute at most.
** Wesker had a crane full of steel girders dropped on his head in ''Code: Veronica X''. It only fazed him for a few moments.
* [[Ink Suit Actor]]: Based very heavily on [[David Bowie]].
** As for the voice, according to Richard Waugh himself, that was a [[Sure Why Not]] -: in an interview, he stated that his voice for Wesker was based on [[The Jungle Book (Disney film)|Shere Khan]].
*** [[D. C. Douglas]], Wesker's current voice as of ''The Umbrella Chronicles'', even stated that he based the voice on Bowie.
*** Also, his mannerisms in the fifth game at least, not to mention his overall attire and appearance, are indicative of Agent Smith.
* [[Joker Immunity]]: {{spoiler|But he dies in ''Resident Evil 5''.}}.
** {{spoiler|But we'll see how long [[Critical Backlash|killing off the main villian in an ongoing series]] [[Flip-Flop of God|lasts]] [[Cash Cow Franchise|in the long]] run}}.
* [[Large Ham]]: By ''Resident Evil 5'' (with his most villainous [[Evil Brit|British accent]] to date). DC Douglas indulges in some [[Ham and Cheese]] for a few outtake lines.
{{quote|'''Wesker''': '''[[Memetic Mutation|"Complete.]]''' '''[[Memetic Mutation|Global.]]''' '''''[[ThisPunctuated! IsFor! SpartaEmphasis!|Saturation."]]'''''}}
* [[Last-Name Basis]]: Somewhat of a problem, what with {{spoiler|Alex Wesker running around somewhere. Though I guess you could just call him "Alex" and him "Wesker"?}}?
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: Wesker can move too fast to be seen, yet punch straight through a person's chest.
** Not to mention throw Rockets at you, or kick you through a stone door.
** [[Mighty Glacier]]: {{spoiler|After his drug overdose and subsequent [[One-Winged Angel|Uroboros absorption]] at the end of ''Resident Evil 5''.}}.
* [[Luke, I Am Your Father]] / [[Parental Abandonment]]: {{spoiler|Wesker made love with an Eastern European woman before leaving her. He ended up having a son named Jake Muller whom he will never meet.}}.
* [[Mad Scientist]]: But try [[Too Dumb to Live|telling him that]].
* [[The Man Behind the Man]]: Too much of ''[[Resident Evil Zero]]'', ''[[Resident Evil 1]]'', ''[[Resident Evil 4]]'', and parts of the ''The Umbrella Chronicles''. A great deal of the plot is the result of him and Sergei trying to outdo one another in [[The Man Behind the Man]] department.
* [[Mole in Charge]]: Was the commanding officer of S.T.A.R.S., and yet {{spoiler|1=was actually going to lead the S.T.A.R.S. units to being tested against Umbrella's (now rogue) BOWsB.O.W.s}}.
* [[Motive Rant]]: During his second fight with Chris.
{{quote|"Has it never occurred to you that this planet is overpopulated? Only a handful of humans truly matter. Everyone else is just so much chaff. So now, I have to separate this chaff from the wheat. And with Uroboros, I can finally accomplish this."}}
* [[Obviously Evil]]: Not as apparent back in the day, but since ''The Umbrella Chronicles'', with his current voice, would ''you'' imagine him as a good guy?
* [[Off with His Head]]: In the original version's Barry Lives ending of Jill's scenario, Wesker's decapitated head is seen in the self-destruct chamber. Not so much in the remake.
* [[Playing Both Sides]]: Plays ''[[Up to Eleven|every. single. freaking. side]]''. to his own advantage.
* [[One of Us]]: His current voice actor, [[D. C. Douglas]], if [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLL90q3as4M his work here] is anything to go by.
* [[Putting on the Reich]]: Kind of. Wesker has blond hair, blue eyes (prior to his mutation), and upon mutating gained superhuman strength, speed and endurance, similar to the Nazi's view of the ideal Aryan. Likewise, he was engineered to be the perfect human, similar to the supposed Aryans.

* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: After he comes [[Back from the Dead]] in ''Code: Veronica''. Although they were yellow first.
* [[Renaissance Man]]: Geneticist, virologist, corporate executive, corporate spy, elite SWAT team commander, supersoldier and criminal mastermind.
* [[Ret Canon]]: Prior to ''Code: Veronica'', and especially the first ''Wesker's Report'', the only time it was hinted at that Wesker would be infected (whether deliberately or not) with any strain of the tT-Virusvirus was in the optional Battle Mode included in the Sega Saturn version, where Wesker appears as an enemy zombie that's tougher than the usual kind.
* [[The Rival]]: To Sergei Vladimir.
* [[The Social Darwinist]]: Believes the vast bulk of humanity are worthless and that only a minority of people- with superior talent, intelligence, physical stats, etc- have ever actually mattered throughout human history. He assumes that Ourobouros will weed out the weak and the strong will survive and become superhuman, though baring in mind that the only reason {{spoiler|he could handle it}} was probably due to all the experiments performed on him and the fact that he was already superhuman, {{spoiler|and that [[Word of God]] implies that even he would have been killed by Ourobouros eventually}}, his plan might actually have just [[Omnicidal Maniac|wiped out every living thing on the planet]].
* [[The Sociopath]]: If the novelizations are to be believed.

* [[The Starscream]]: To Umbrella. Deconstructed, as it is strongly implied that not only was Spencer fully aware of Wesker's intentions of betraying Spencer and Umbrella, he actually orchestrated the events that would result in Wesker deciding to take down Umbrella.
* [[Sunglasses at Night]]: His trademark.
* [[Super Soldier]]: The virus strain that he injected himself with to fake his death to Umbrella essentially made him this. It's also implied that the virus was actually designed by Spencer as part of his ultimate scheme, making the virus almost a super soldier serum.
* [[Super Speed]]: After taking the experimental virus, he moves faster than the human mind can process. See [[Dodge the Bullet]] above. To the naked eye, it looks like he's teleporting.
* [[Super Soldier]]: The virus strain that he injected himself with to fake his death to Umbrella essentially made him this. It's also implied that the virus was actually designed by Spencer as part of his ultimate scheme, making the virus almost a super soldier serum.
* [[Super Strength]]: Capable of lifting missles with one hand, piercing through his enemies' chests with his fingers, and holding Chris with one hand by the throat, among other feats of his strength after his upgrade.
* [[Teens Are Monsters]]: Got his start at 18.
* [[Those Two Bad Guys]]: With William Birkin, his long time friend and rival. Admittedly, their time as this is mostly in the series backstory and ''[[Resident Evil Zero]]'', but they went to college and later worked as top researchers at Umbrella together for years.
* [[Tyke Bomb]]: Revealed to be one of several Wesker children by Spencer.
* [[Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny]]: He is a playable character in ''Marvel vs. Capcom 3'' with Chris, Jill &and (in ''Ultimate MVCMarvel vs. Capcom 3'') Nemesis.
* [[Unwitting Pawn]]: Was revealed to be this to Spencer all along in ''[[Resident Evil 5]]''. Suffice to say, he doesn't take this revelation very well...
* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: ''Resident Evil 5''. Full stop. {{spoiler|The moment he gets injected with his [[Weaksauce Weakness]] serum, he completely loses his shit and by the final battle he's reduced to Darwinistic ranting and feral screaming}}.
** '''[[Memetic Mutation|CHRIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!]]'''
** [[Out-Gambitted|Well, Ada does play him in the end of Separate Ways]].
*** The fact that Wesker was [[Out-Gambitted]] by Ada could be seen as more of a case of the [[Villain Ball]] than Ada actually being any good at manipulating people. Being tricked so easily is very [[Out of Character]] for Wesker, seeing as Ada is an absolute disaster when it comes to not acting suspicious (makes you wonder how she's still a spy). Those who have played ''Resident Evil 4 Separate Ways'' will have realised that every single conversation Ada had with Wesker pretty much said "I'm going to stab you in the back." Heck, the fact that she hesitated when Wesker first told her to kill Leon (and then failed to do) was a massive give-away that she was unreliable, something someone with supposedly genius-level intelligence should have noticed (although it is strongly implied that he was fully aware of the likelihood that Ada would betray him).
** His actual [[Villainous Breakdown]] arguably occurred far earlier, when he learned that {{spoiler|Spencer essentially manipulated his every move}}, resulting in the full blown god complex that he currently has. Beforehand, he usually manipulates both sides; by the main game of ''[[Resident Evil 5]]'', however, he's spouting that he's a god.
* [[Villainous BSOD]]: See [[Villainous Breakdown]] above, specifically the last entry.
* [[Villain Protagonist]]: In ''The Umbrella Chronicles'' and various bonus levels.
* [[Villain Team-Up]]: With [[Doctor Doom]] in ''Marvel vs. Capcom 3''.
* [[Weapon of Choice]]: His S.T.A.R.S. issued Beretta handgun, which he still carries during [[Resident Evil 5|the events in Kijuju]].
* [[Villain Protagonist]]: In ''Umbrella Chronicles'' and various bonus levels.
* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: ''RE5''. Full stop. {{spoiler|The moment he gets injected with his [[Weaksauce Weakness]] serum, he completely loses his shit and by the final battle he's reduced to Darwinistic ranting and feral screaming.}}

Umbrella's "patient zero", the first individual to survive injection with the Progenitor Virus, T-Virus,virus and many others and come out stronger. Her genetic tissue was also the origin for Birkin's "G-Virusvirus". Introduced in the REmake''Resident Evil'' remake, Lisa is the daughter of the Spencer mansion's architect, George Trevor. When her father was murdered to protect the mansion's secrets, both Lisa and her mother Jessica were kidnapped and used as test subjects by Umbrella. While Jessica had no reaction to viral injection and was killed before she could attempt escape with Lisa, Lisa had a strong reaction to everything Umbrella could think to throw at her, and was heavily experimented upon for the greater part of forty years, breaking her fragile sanity, while also turning her into to a nearly invincible monstrosity. Testing finally ceased when Lisa murdered the Umbrella researchers posing as her parents, ''and sewed their faces to her own in hopes that she might return them to her parents.''. Yup. Believed by many fans to be the creepiest character in the series.
 
* [[And I Must Scream]]: Never forget, under those horrific mutations and the violent insanity, there's just a scared, hurt, lonely little girl.
* [[And I Must Scream]]
* [[Berserk Button]]: When she realised the researchers weren't her parents she ''tore their faces off''.
* [[Chained by Fashion]]: She still sports a set of crude wooden wristcuffs she was trapped in at some point before Umbrella lost control of the facility. She weaponizes them by using them as a primitive cudgel.
* [[Chained by Fashion]]
* [[Combat Tentacles]]: Once attacked, she sprouts tentacles from myriad points of her body and uses them to clumsily flail at her foes.
* [[Combat Tentacles]]
* [[Dark and Troubled Past]]: Dear ''God.''.
* {{spoiler|[[Driven to Suicide]]: "Mo... ther...". Too bad she can't die.}}.
* [[Eldritch Abomination]]
* [[Implacable Man|Implacable Girl Hunchback Thing... With Tentacles]]
* [[Psychopathic Manchild]]: She's in her mid-forties when the player meets her, but she still acts very much like a young child.
* [[Was Once a Man|Was Once A Girl]]: She used to be a human. Now she's something far, far less.
* [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]]: You feel a tremendous amount of sympathy for her pain and suffering. Doesn't make her any less of a lethally dangerous monster though.
* [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]]
 
 
== Villains Introduced in ''Resident Evil 2'' ==
=== William Birkin ===
[[File:birkin.jpg|frame]]
 
Umbrella's top scientist, cohort of Albert Wesker, father of Sherry Birkin, and creator of the G-Virusvirus. The main enemy of ''Resident Evil 2'', having become a monster after injecting his virus into his own system to keep it out of the hands of the Umbrella Security Service and to save his own life.
 
* [[Bishounen]]: Not to the same degree a young Marcus, but yeah, definitely.
* [[Blob Monster]]: His final form is a featurless blob with dozens of teeth and [[Combat Tentacles]].
* [[Blond Guys Are Evil]]: His hair is brown in ''Resident Evil 2'', but in the ''Chronicles'' games, he's blond.
* [[Body Horror]]: To a terrifying degree after he injects himself with the G-Virusvirus.
* [[Carry a Big Stick]]: Birkin's first form wields a section of piping as a makeshift club.
* [[Clipped-Wing Angel]]: One of the series's most notable examples. {{spoiler|His final form is a massive blob with [[More Teeth Than the Osmond Family]]--... and a complete lack of mobility. [[Justified]], as this form is the result of healing badly following his fourth form's destruction.}}.
* [[Combat Tentacles]]: In his final form.
* [[Even Evil Has Loved Ones]]: Pre-G-virus, his wife and daughter were this to him.
* [[Evilutionary Biologist]]: Worked on the Progenitor virus and the T-virus with Marcus, designed the G-virus and Wesker's experimental mutagen himself, cheerfully experimented on human beings in order to do so... yeah, he counts.
* [[Eyes Do Not Belong There]]: As a monster, he has one on his ''shoulder.''.
* [[Final Boss]]: His [[Clipped-Wing Angel]] form is the last boss you face in ''RE2Resident Evil 2''.
* [[Green-Eyed Monster]]: Towards Alexia Ashford, who was hired at an even younger age than he was.
* [[Healing Factor]]: Everytime he's damaged, his mutations increase, closing the wounds and altering his body still further. It isn't perfect though, and the mutations are at times far from beneficial; when his fourth form is almost destroyed, the only way for his healing factor to bail him out to transform him into a [[Clipped-Wing Angel|limbless immobile blob]].
* [[The Heavy]]: In ''RE2Resident Evil 2'', where he's the opponent you face the most, the one responsible for the outbreak, and the one who drives most of Claire's actions as he attempts to reclaim his daughter from her.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: In the ''Chronicles'' and ''Operation Raccoon City'' games, he shares a voice actor with none other than [[Dead Rising|Frank West]].
* [[Implacable Man]]: Goes through 4 different [[One-Winged Angel]] forms and one [[Clipped-Wing Angel]] before he's finally stopped.
* [[Klingon Promotion]]: He and Wesker murdered their mentor, Dr. James Marcus, on Spencer's orders. Afterwards, Wesker became Spencer's spy, and Birkin recieved Marcus' old job and control of his research.
* [[Lovecraftian Superpower]]: Upon becoming the G-Monster, he has various forms of claws, extra limbs, spikes, [[Super Toughness]] and a [[Healing Factor]].
* [[Lovecraftian Superpower]]
* [[Mad Scientist]]: This is the man who created the G-virus and many of the monsters in Umbrella's arsenal of Bio-Organic Weapons.
* [[Mad Scientist]]
* [[Monster Is a Mommy|Monster Is A Daddy]]: A bit of an inversion in terms of the trope's usual turn of events.
* [[One-Winged Angel]]: To an ungodly degree. He goes through four dangerous forms and one [[Clipped-Wing Angel]] form, before finally dying.
Line 831 ⟶ 826:
* [[Teen Genius]]: Was 16 when he was hired by Umbrella.
* [[Teens Are Monsters]]: Had no problems committing horrifically unethical experiments at 16.
* [[Those Two Bad Guys]]: Birkin and Wesker went to college, trained and worked at Umbrella together, and hung out together in ''[[Resident Evil Zero]].''. A file in ''Resident Evil 5'' confirms that Birkin was the one who gave Wesker the virus that made him super-human.
* [[Tragic Monster]]: An unusual example -: he was by no means a sympathetic character before his transformation, but try telling that to his distraught family.
** Especially since you {{spoiler|spend half the game hanging out with his [[Woobie]] of a daughter who never learned to properly tie her shoe.}}.
* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: In the backstory. Birkin absolutely snapped when the U.S.S. came for the G-Virusvirus, and attacked the HUNK and his men, setting off the events of RE2''Resident Evil 2''.
* [[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity]]: The G-virus has a profoundly negative impact on his sanity.
 
Line 842 ⟶ 837:
 
* [[Axe Crazy]]: And ''how''.
* [[Body Horror]]: {{spoiler|he dies "Aliens" style when the G-embryo bursts out of him.}}
* [[Bad Boss]]: It's implied he murdered his secretary, he hunted surviving officers down for sport, and he installed a ''nerve gas'' system in the police station.
* [[Body Horror]]: {{spoiler|He dies "Aliens" style when the G-embryo bursts out of him}}.
* [[Card-Carrying Villain]]: Seriously, how did this man become the Chief of Police?
* [[Dirty Cop]]: Instead of investigating Umbrella, he instead agrees to take bribes from them. This is one of the reasons why the T-Virus ultimately ends up infecting Raccoon City.
* [[Fat Bastard]]: He's overweight and a total scumbag.
* [[Half the Man He Used To Be]]: The alternate method of his death, committed by G-Birkin.
* [[Rape as Backstory]]: The opposite of how this trope usually works. 'cringe'
* [[Taxidermy Is Creepy]]: After killing the mayor's daughter, he decides that he's going to make her a trophy for himself. He also has a habit of keeping human skulls in his secret room, indicating that this wasn't the first time that he had done something like this.
* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: Pre-outbreak, he was no charmer, but the security of his position and the extravagant lifestyle he bought with bribe money kept him from losing it publicly. Once the T-Virusvirus did its thing, he just snapped, hiding the RPD's ammo, and hunting the survivors through the precinct.
* [[Wicked Cultured]]: Not only does he put on a faux-britishBritish accent, he's filled the RPD station with creepy artwork, much of which secretly obscures the keys to his {{spoiler|own personal evil taxidermy sex dungeon of evil.}}.
 
=== HUNK ===
Line 857 ⟶ 852:
{{quote|''"The mission objective takes priority over everything else. Holding to that principle is why I have never failed a mission... The death cannot die!"''}}
 
Also known as "Mr. Death,", HUNK is one of Umbrella's mercenaries, and a member of the Umbrella Security Service. He was sent to retrieve the G-Virusvirus from Birkin. After his unit was decimated, he had to make his way back up to the top of the police station to escape. To date, he's never met any of the main characters. He has a habit of being the only survivor of any missions he undertakes, which is the cause of his nickname.
 
* [[Badass]]: Just look at the man.
** [[Badass Normal]]: Unlike most villains, he is not modified by any viruses or bioweapons.
* [[Badass Boast]]: His is "The Death cannot die!".
* [[Blade Below the Shoulder]]: In ''Mercenaries 3-D3D'', HUNK has a set of hidden blades to stab perform melee attacks with.
* [[Cool Mask]]
* [[Determinator]]
* [[Everybody's Dead, Dave]]: Happens to him so often that a helicopter pilot has commented: "Once again, only you survived, Mr. Death."
* [[Gas Mask Mooks]]: Subverted. He may look like just another one of Umbrella's [[Faceless Goons]], but he's a total [[Badass]] and a character in his own right.
* [[Grim Reaper]]: His alternate costume in the "Mercenaries" minigame in ''Resident Evil 5'', complete with [[Sinister Scythe]].
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: In the ''Chronicles'' games and ''Operation Raccoon City'', he shares the same voice actor none other than [[Monster (manga)|Johan Liebert]].
* [[In-Series Nickname]]: "Mr. Death".
* [[Lack of Empathy]]: Big time. He leaves a wounded teammate behind to die, shows no emotion as he watches zombies and B.O.W.s cut down RPD officers, and is far more concerned about the possibility that the G-virus sample might be damaged than the fact that his men just murdered the guy who was holding it.
* [[Lethal Joke Character]]: In ''RE4Resident Evil 4'', he starts out with a TMP, some ammo, and three grenades. Used correctly, he racks up a lot of combos from using the [[Neck Snap]] ability mentioned below. Used incorrectly... You'll run out of ammo and spend the rest of the time running away from enemies, because he ''has no knife.''.
* [[Mentor Archetype]]: Is this to Vector of ''Operation Raccoon City''. Both have a mutual respect towards each others' abilities and prefer serving together.
* [[More Dakka]]: Typically appears with some sort of machinegun. In the Mercenaries game, a customized submachine gun is his only weapon aside from grenades, making him particularly difficult to play as, since he doesn't have much of a crowd control option.
* [[Mysterious Mercenary Pursuer]]: Inverted—heInverted: he's trying to escape the city, just like the protagonists.
* [[Mysterious Past]]: Aside from two mentions from "The History of Resident Evil", which was about his training at Rockfort Island in 1996 and mission to retrieve the G-Virusvirus in 1998, there's no other information about his past.
* [[Neck Snap]]: His main physical attack in ''RE4Resident Evil 4'''s Mercenaries game, which even works against the the Bella sisters, but not other minibosses.
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: Not really, only his gas mask.
* [[Secret Character]]: If he's playable, it's as a secret character.
** Until ''Resident Evil Mercenaries 3D'', in which he is one of the three normal characters.
* [[Sociopathic Soldier]]: Of the cold-blooded, "the mission comes first" variety.
* [[The Stoic]]: He has only ever been shown to emote twice: Thethe first is when a teammate went trigger-happy on William Birkin and HUNK berated him for risking hitting the G-Virusvirus sample, and the second is when he resents not being told what the contents are of the package he delivered for Alfred Ashford.
* [[Villain Protagonist]]: In "The Fourth Survivor" side-missions in ''Resident Evil 2'' and ''The Umbrella Chronicles''.
 
=== T-00 (Mr X) ===
The main antagonist of Scenario B, the T-00 (more commonly known as Mr X), is a T-103, a new type of mass produced Tyrant. It, along with several other T-103's, were sent into Raccoon City as part of Umbrella's attempts to cover up the disaster. However, unlike its brethren, who were tasked with combating the US SpecOps, Mr X was sent to succeed where HUNK had failed and recover the G-Virusvirus, as well as silence any witnesses he found, especially any police officers.
 
* [[Badass Longcoat]]: His iconic limiter coat, which ironically serves to restrain him into a more human-like shape. He actually gets ''more'' dangerous when it comes off.
* [[Badass Longcoat]]
* [[Implacable Man]]: It doesn't matter what you hit him with, he will ''not'' stop. Just like you'd expect of a Tyrant.
* [[Megaton Punch]]
* [[One-Winged Angel]]
* [[Implacable Man]]
* [[Megaton Punch]]
* [[There Was a Door]]: His preferred manner of entry.
* [[Unflinching Walk]]: Like all Tyrants, he just strides towards his target, casually absorbing any bullets you hit him with along the way.
* [[Unflinching Walk]]
 
 
== Villains Introduced in ''Resident Evil 3: Nemesis'' ==
=== Nemesis T-Type (T-02) ===
[[File:NemesisConceptArt 9386.jpg|frame]]
 
A Tyrant tasked with killing the remaining members of S.T.A.R.S. from the Mansion Incident, appearing in ''Resident Evil 3'' as [[The Heavy]]. With the exception of [[Combat Tentacles]], and the BFG, and the ability to talk, "Mr X" from ''Resident Evil 2'' is identical. Which is only natural, seeing as how Nemesis is a Mr. X customized with a dose of extra [[Body Horror]].
 
* [[Badass Longcoat]]
Line 906 ⟶ 900:
* [[Combat Tentacles]]: And [[Naughty Tentacles|a lot of]] [[Power Perversion Potential]].
* [[Determinator]]: The whole reason why he made you and everyone else who played piss out all your testosterone.
* [[Facial Horror]]: Aside from the fact he's rotting; he's missing a lot of his facial anatomy (lips, nose, and an eye), and that's not counting the staples running across the empty eye socket.
* [[Final Boss]]: Of ''RE3Resident Evil 3''.
* [[Guttural Growler]]: Raspy, deep, groaning voice? Check.
* [[The Heavy]]: Of ''RE3Resident Evil 3'', pursuing Jill from the first chapter to the last.
* [[Implacable Man]]: He stalks Jill relentlessly through most any kind of attack...
* [[Kill It with Fire]]: ...but can be warded off by fire and explosions.
* [[Neck Lift]]: Prior to getting his coat burned off, he uses this as a finisher.
* [[Puppeteer Parasite]]: Controlled by one.
* [[Recurring Boss]]: Notably, while there are several scripted fights, Nemesis can attack you ''at any point in the game''.
* [[Recurring Boss]]
* [[Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny]]: He is a playable character in ''[[Updated Rerelease|Ultimate]] Marvel vs. Capcom 3'', joining Chris, Wesker and Jill.
* [[Why Won't You Die?]]: Go ahead and tell us you weren't at least ''about'' to yell this at some point!
 
Line 921 ⟶ 915:
[[File:Nicholai 8456.png|frame]]
 
A sergeant for Umbrella's U.B.C.S. in ''Resident Evil 3'' also secretly tasked with gathering data on the numerous B.O.W.s roaming the city -... of course, for a hefty price, which brings him to the decision to kill all others on the operation.
 
* [[Ax Crazy]]: He seems pretty grounded and as rational as you can say a sociopath trying to assassinate his own team is in the games, but in the sections of the S.D. Perry novelizations from his point of view, he ''really likes'' what he does.
** In ''RE3Resident Evil 3'' and ''Outbreak'', Nicholai is calm and dispassionate, even while he's setting up the rest of his team to get killed. In ''Operation Raccoon City'', he spends two levels trying to take out the Wolfpack, and comes off like he's one facial wound away from going full-blown monologue-spouting Bond villain, complete with rigging up half the zombies in the hospital with suicide vests.
* [[Badass Normal]]: Somewhat unusual for a ''[[Resident Evil]]'' villain, he never goes [[One-Winged Angel]]. In fact, he's probably one hundred percent baseline human, yet he survives against ridiculous odds two or three times.
* [[Face Heel Turn]]: He turns against everyone with his goal consisting of killing his own teammates so that he's the only one who has the combat information that he can sell to Umbrella for a high price.
* [[Face Heel Turn]]
* [[Former Regime Personnel]]: Like [[Reasonable Authority Figure|Mikhail]] and [[Colonel Badass|Sergei]], Nicholai is former Soviet military, hired in the wake of the USSR's collapse.
* [[Hired Guns]]
Line 937 ⟶ 931:
* [[Sociopathic Soldier]]: In spades. The U.B.C.S. and U.S.S. have their fair share of these, but Nicholai is the standout.
* [[Unfriendly Fire]]: Apparently spent most of his time in Raccoon tracking down and killing other Umbrella monitors to have a monopoly on Bioweapon combat data.
* [[Villains Never Lie]]: Interestingly, Nicholai does not lie to Jill at any point in time. He attacks her in a couple of possible scenarios in ''RE3Resident Evil 3'', but he is always absolutely truthful.
* [[What Happened to the Mouse?]]: {{spoiler|In one of the three endings, he anticlimactically escapes Raccoon City in a helicopter, leaving him a loose end. He dies in the other two.}}. We have his reports to Sergei Vladimir, so cannonicallycanonically, he's alive, but he hasn't been seen since.
 
== Villains Introduced In ''Resident Evil: Code: Veronica'' ==
=== Alfred Ashford ===
[[File:alfred 4493.jpg|frame]]
Line 950 ⟶ 944:
* [[Blond Guys Are Evil]]
* [[Brother-Sister Incest]]/[[Twincest]]: Really, just ask anyone who's played ''Code: Veronica''.
* [[Cloning Blues]]: Zigzagged: it's implied that he was also disturbed when he found out that he was an accidental by-product of Alexander's attempts at cloning Veronica, but it's never made clear just how much this actually bothered him.
* [[Cloning Blues]]
* [[Creepy Twins]]: With Alexia.
* [[The Dandy]]
* [[Disc One Final Boss]]: He's initially presented as the final boss of ''Code: Veronica''... except that when he dies, Alexia wakes up and reveals that she's the real end-boss.
* [[Disc One Final Boss]]
* [[The Dragon]]: He is ultimately nothing more than Alexia's flunky, and he's quite content with that.
* [[The Dragon]]
* [[Enfante Terrible]]: In the [[Backstory]].
* [[Evil Brit]]: He speaks with an uppercrust English accent, and is a ruthless, murderous, deranged sadist.
* [[Evil Brit]]
* [[Giggling Villain]]: [[Narm|Infamously.]].
* [[The Heavy]]: To his sister's [[Big Bad]].
* [[Large Ham]]
* [[Morality Pet]]: Well, not a ''Morality'' Pet whatsoever so much as a [[Up to Eleven|Humanity Pet]] to Alexia. {{spoiler|Hell, the reason she blows up Claire and Steve's snowmobile and has the latter turn [[Tragic Monster]] is to avenge his death.}}.
* [[Noblewoman's Laugh]]: As Alexia and otherwise, almost impressively.
* [[Not So Harmless]]: {{spoiler|''The Darkside Chronicles'' puts his crimes and insanity in a ''much'' darker light.}}.
* [[Psychopathic Manchild]]: It's been stated that it's something he and his sister share, but ''The Darkside Chronicles'' ''really'' goes to town displaying his.
* [[Self-Made Orphan]]: Used his father as a guinea pig.
* [[Siblings in Crime]]: He and his sister did everything together, including their illegal and inhumane human experiments.
* [[Siblings in Crime]]
* [[Sissy Villain]]
* [[Sniper Rifle]]: His [[Weapon of Choice]]... though he's a really, really bad shot.
* [[Split Personality]]: Ever since Alexia left, it appeared he'd {{spoiler|taken to dressing in her clothes and talking to himself as her in the mirror}}.
* [[Undying Loyalty]]: To Alexia.
* [[The Unfavorite]]: For being born without his sister's ungodly intellectual capacity. It really isn't brought up, however, except as one of a few reasons the twins used their father as a guinea pig.
* {{spoiler|[[Villainous Crossdresser]]: That picture of Alexia below? That's actually ''him''.}}.
 
=== Alexia Ashford ===
[[File:alexia-ashford-resident-evil-darkside-chronicles-character-screenshot 8459.jpg|frame]]
 
A noblewoman descended from one of Umbrella's founders, a genius scientist since at least the age of ''ten'', and the prominent antagonist of ''Code: Veronica'' despite having been, as far as anyone knows, dead as of fifteen years before the game took place. {{spoiler|She wasn't. Rather, she was in cryogenic sleep to incubate the specially-altered strain of the T-Virusvirus she injected herself with when she was twelve to become a god.}}.
 
* [[Aristocrats Are Evil]]: She genuinely holds a noble title, but she's a sadistic monster to whom the lives of other people mean nothing.
* [[A God Am I]]: Especially in the novelisation.
* [[Aristocrats Are Evil]]
* [[Big Bad]]: Of ''Code: Veronica''.
* [[Big Creepy-Crawlies]]: Her final form.
* [[Bloody Murder]]: {{spoiler|Her blood bursts into flames when she throws it at people.}}
* [[Blondes Are Evil]]
* [[Bloody Murder]]: {{spoiler|Her blood bursts into flames when she throws it at people}}.
* [[Child Prodigy]]: Hired by Umbrella at ten.
* [[Cloning Blues]]: She was created from a piece of skin from her ancestor. She did NOT take it well when she learned this.
* [[Combat Tentacles]]: She has the ability to manipulate a T-Veronica-infected plant, which produces enormous vines that she uses as living weapons.
* [[Combat Tentacles]]
* [[Creepy Twins]]/[[Half-Identical Twins]]: Her and her brother Alfred.
* [[Enfante Terrible]]: In the [[Backstory]].
* [[Evil Brit]]: Like her brother, she has a pronounced English accent, and she's a sadistic, tyrannical monster who wants to take over the world.
* [[Evil Brit]]
* [[Evil Laugh]]/[[Giggling Villain]]/[[Noblewoman's Laugh]]: She certainly uses less breath on speaking than she does on laughing.
* [[Evilutionary Biologist]]: She focuses her [[Mad Science]] expertise on biology, creating the T-Veronica virus by merging T-virus with a reconstituted virus discovered inside an ant queen's fossil. She even infects herself with her creation to evolve herself into a superior being.
* [[Evilutionary Biologist]]
* [[Final Boss]]: She's the very last opponent you have to defeat.
* [[Full-Frontal Assault]]: In her first [[One-Winged Angel]] form, [http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100411012356/villains/images/e/e4/Resident-evil-the-many-looks-of-the-infected-20090226023921485-000.jpg she is completely stark naked], although due to her mutations, nothing explicit is shown.
* [[A God Am I]]: Especially in the novelisation.
* [[Go Mad from the Revelation]]: How much sanity she actually had to begin with is questionable, as she was seen shattering ants as a kid, but she at least had some integrity. However, after learning about [[Cloning Blues|the nature of her birth]], let's just say that she really went off the deep end a'la [[Final Fantasy VII|Sephiroth]].
* [[Large Ham]]: She is ''just'' as flamboyant and fond of flashy statements and spectacles as her brother.
* [[Large Ham]]
* [[Mad Scientist]]: She created the T-Veronica virus, turned her own father into Nosferatu, and then infected herself with it to become a super-human.
* [[Mad Scientist]]
* [[One-Winged Angel]]: ''Three'' times. First, her skin sloughs off,. thenThen she fuses with one of the birthing pods,. andAnd finally, she becomes some sort of twisted dragonfly monster.
* [[Psychopathic Manchild]]: Her and Alfred alike. {{spoiler|Probably justified both cases--: he's insane and she has been frozen ever since she was twelve. Still, their house is full of what must be mementos from their childhood--: doll collections, a merry-go-round, music boxes, home movies of them [[Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick|slowly pulling the wings off of insects and watching them die...]]}}...
* [[Self-Made Orphan]]: Used her father as a guinea pig.
* [[Siblings in Crime]]: She relies on Alfred to assist her in everything she does, referring to him as her "loyal drone" in a manner that's both affectionate and condescending. Downplayed in ''The Darkside Chronicles''.
* [[Siblings in Crime]]
* [[Stronger Sibling]]: To Alfred.
* [[Twincest]]: Without actually saying it.
 
== Villains introduced in ''Resident Evil 0'' ==
=== Dr. James Marcus ===
[[File:James Marcus 5652.jpg|frame]]
 
One of Umbrella's three founding members, he was murdered by Wesker and Birkin on Spencer's orders. He returns in ''Resident Evil Zero0'', where it's revealed that he is the one responisble for the Arklay Mountain and Mansion outbreaks.
 
* [[Achilles' Heel]]: Sunlight.
* [[Back from the Dead]]: Thanks to some T-Virusvirus infected leeches.
* [[The Bad Guy Wins]]: In a way: he dies, but his plan to bring down Umbrella goes off without a hitch.
* [[Big Bad]]: Of ''[[Resident Evil Zero]]''.
Line 1,017 ⟶ 1,011:
* [[Body Horror]]: Good god, Marcus.
* [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]: Though he was more concerned with R&D than Spencer or Ashford.
* [[Doomed by Canon]]: Since he's a [[Posthumous Character]] that's not seen in other ''Resident Evil'' games.
* [[Doomed by Canon]]
* [[Evil Old Folks]]: Pre-murder.
* [[Evilutionary Biologist]]
* [[The Heavy]]: For ''RE0Resident Evil 0'', overlapping with his status as [[Big Bad]].
* [[Humanoid Abomination]]
* [[I Am Legion]]
* [[Mad Scientist]]: Like almost everyone involved with Umbrella. The medieval torture dungeons found in the training facility speak for themselves.
* [[Mad Scientist]]
* [[Older Than They Look]]: {{spoiler|His reborn human form resembles Marcus at about twenty.}}.
* [[One-Winged Angel]]: His Leech Queen form.
* [[Revenge]]: His motivation is revenge on Spencer, Birkin, Wesker, and Umbrella as a whole.
* [[The Undead]]: Naturally.
* [[Voice of the Legion]]
Line 1,033 ⟶ 1,027:
* [[The Worm That Walks]]: Composed of thousands of leeches.
 
== Villains Introduced in ''Resident Evil 4'' ==
=== Osmund Saddler ===
[[File:300px-411px-Osmund Saddler 1515.jpg|frame]]
Line 1,040 ⟶ 1,034:
 
* [[Affably Evil]]: To some extent.
* [[America Saves the Day]]: Saddler references this trope before fighting Leon and promises to subvert it. {{spoiler|Yeah... it didn't quite go his way.}}.
* [[Big Bad]]: This is the man behind both Mendez and Salazar.
* [[Biggus Dickus]]: Okay, that probably ''wasn't'' his penis, but he should know better than to dangle tentacles from that area.
* [[Catch and Return]]: If you pump enough bullets into him during the ''Separate Ways'' boss fight, he fires them back at Ada by forcing them out his finger.
* [[Combat Tentacles]]: These are most prominent during his boss fight in ''Separate Ways''. {{spoiler|He also kills Luis with a tentacle from between his legs, in a move that fans affectionately call the "Wangpale."}}.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Conversations between Saddler and Leon can best be described as snark-offs.
* [[Eyes Do Not Belong There]]: He's got an eye in his mouth that only pops out when he's taken a lot of damage. He also has eyes on the legs that grow out of his face in [[One-Winged Angel]] mode.
* [[Hive Mind]]: Using supersonic waves from his staff, he can control anyone or anything who hosts a Plaga, with a few possible exceptions.
* [[Idiot Ball]]: {{spoiler|As part of his research, Saddler had Luis build a machine in the research building that could kill Las Plagas without damaging the host under certain conditions. Knowing full well that the machine was still operational and that it was very near where he was holding Ashley, Saddler made no effort to destroy the machine. Lo and behold, Ashley and Leon found it and used it to get rid of their parasites.}}.
** {{spoiler|To be fair, that he had it built in the first place means that he actually thought it might be useful one day, so its understandable that he didn't destroy it. Plus, he might assume that even if Leon and Ashley use it, he can always re-inject them, or re-inject Ashley and kill Leon since he doesn't seem to think Leon has what it takes to defeat him. Given that Saddler ignores machine-gun fire and requires several shots from a ''rocket launcher'' to be taken dow, his confidence is somewhat understanable.understandable}}.
* [[In the Hood]]: Wears a hood for most of the game.
* [[Last-Name Basis]]: No one calls him Osmund.
* [[Naughty Tentacles]]: His infamous killer-wang.
* [[No, You]]: In possibly the [[Narm]]iest moment of ''[[Resident Evil 4]]''...
{{quote|'''Saddler:''' Perhaps you are disillusioned with overconfidence just because you killed my small-time subordinate?
'''Leon:''' Saddler, '''you're''' small-time. }}
* [[One-Winged Angel]]: As noted above, he has legs that grow out of his face.
* {{spoiler|[[Properly Paranoid]]: He never really trusted Krauser, who was indeed [[The Mole|working for Wesker]].}}.
* [[Religion of Evil]]: Whether or not Saddler actually believes in the religion of Los Illuminados is unclear, but he is their leader and is at least using them as a cover for his own goals.
* [[Super Speed]]: In human form, Saddler can move very quickly. He almost seems to hover along the ground as he does so.
* [[Villain Ball]]: His persistence to keep Ashley for ransom. Had he just quietly returned her, or allowed Leon to rescue her before he could get to the bottom of the things, nobody would've known {{spoiler|she was infected}} untilluntil it was too late.
* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: Saddler tries to keep a normal appearance throughout the game. Once he discovers that {{spoiler|Leon found a way to remove his Plaga, and Ashley probably did too,}}, Saddler goes mad and mutates into a mass of legs and tentacles.
* [[Why Don't Ya Just Shoot Him]]: Despite his many, ''many'' opportunities to kill Leon, Saddler never gives up hope that Leon will succumb to Las Plagas and, in turn, his mind control. This comes back to bite him in the end.

The eighth castellan of the Salazar family castle and a high-ranking member of Los Illuminados, Salazar played a huge part in Saddler's plans by excavating fossilized Las Plagas and donating them to his cause. His goal was to create a world without sin: Afterafter all, [[The Evils of Free Will|if people have no free will, how can they do evil?]] He causes Leon a lot of trouble when Leon and Ashley wander into his castle.
 
* [[Compensating for Something]]: Giant mecha Salazar GO!!!
* [[Depraved Dwarf]]: He's short, but he's actually much more gleefully sadistic than the previous villain Bitores Mendez.
* [[Depraved Dwarf]]
* [[Devour the Dragon]]: He absorbs the second Verdugo when going [[One-Winged Angel]].
* [[Giggling Villain]]: He has this obnoxious little giggle that he busts out whenever he thinks he has the situation under control. Fortunately, as you progress, he finds less and less reason to laugh.
* [[Giggling Villain]]
* [[Hannibal Lecture]]: Subverted. Just as Salazar prepares to deliver a presumably well-rehearsed lecture on the nature of terrorism, Leon delivers a brilliant, wordless [[Shut UP, Hannibal]] [[Moment of Awesome|using violence]], which leaves Salazar whimpering like a sick puppy, [[Metaphorgotten|only less adorable and more pathetic]].
* [[The Napoleon]]: Not only is he short... he wears a Napoleon-esque outfit (including the [[Cool Hat]]). The fact that he spent money on a giant robotic statue of himself also suggests a Napoleon complex.
* [[Name's the Same]]: As a major villain from the third season of ''[[24]]''.
* [[The Napoleon]]: Not only is he short—he wears a Napoleon-esque outfit (including the [[Cool Hat]]). The fact that he spent money on a giant robotic statue of himself also suggests a Napoleon complex.
* [[One-Winged Angel]]: Some sort of... plant thing?
* [[Psychopathic Manchild]]: Oh so much.
* [[The Walls Are Closing In]]: Pulls this trick on Leon. ''Twice.''
* [[Trap Door]]: Leading into a spike pit. Ramon Salazar: [[X Meets Y|Part Napoleon Boneparte, part Vlad the Impaler]].
** [[Trap Door Fail]]: He tries to kill Leon by having him fall into a pit of spikes. It fails of course.
* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: The first major villain of the game, Mendez, ends up nearly killing Leon every time they meet. In contrast, Leon ''always'' has a cool head when talking down Salazar, despite Salazar's efforts, and that drives him ''insane''.
{{quote|'''Salazar:''' I've sent my right hand to dispose of you.
'''Leon:''' [[Memetic Mutation|You're [sic] right hand comes off?]]<br />
'''Salazar:''' Say whatever you please. '''DIE YOU WORM!''' (''breaks the camera'') }}
* [[The Walls Are Closing In]]: Pulls this trick on Leon. ''Twice''.
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: He wanted to rid the world of sin. However, his method of doing so is to sap people's will by allowing the Los Illuminados cult to plant Las Plagas into them.
* [[Younger Than They Look]]: "It may come as a surprise, but I am only twenty years old!"
 
== Villains Introduced in ''Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles'' ==
=== Colonel Sergei Vladimir ===
[[File:Sergei Vladimir 3130.gif|frame|All For Umbrella!]]
 
 
A former Soviet colonel, Sergei Vladimir is Umbrella's chief of security, and following the company's collapse, its acting CEO. As Spencer's right-hand man, Sergei is privy to most of the company's secrets, and specialises in keeping them that way. Characterised by his [[Undying Loyalty]], he has a strong rivalry with the [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder|treacherous]] Albert Wesker. He is the main antagonist of ''[[Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles]]''.
 
* [[Badass Abnormal]]: He was elite Russian military long before he was undead.
* [[Badass Longcoat]]: His greatcoat is very badass.
* [[Big Bad]]: Of ''The Umbrella Chronicles'' (unless you wanna give that role to [[Villain Protagonist|Wesker]]).
* [[Cleanup Crew]]: Controls the Umbrella Security Service and Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service, who both specialise in cleaning up/hiding the evidence of, Umbrella's screw-ups
* [[Colonel Badass]]
Line 1,103 ⟶ 1,096:
** He was a former Soviet officer. Obviously, the collapse of the Soviet Union left him without a job until Spencer hired him.
* [[Eviler Than Thou]]: With Wesker, to see who will control Umbrella's future.
* [[Final Boss]]: Of ''The Umbrella Chronicles'', following his mutation into some sort of hideous Tyrant.
* [[Foil]]: To Wesker. They're both mutant gunmen entrusted to do Ozwell Spencer's bidding, but Sergei remains [[The Dragon]] to Wesker's [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder]]-afflicted [[Wild Card]]. He'd be Wesker's [[Evil Counterpart]] if the latter weren't already a [[Villain Protagonist]].
* [[Former Regime Personnel]]: Recruited by Umbrella following the collapse of the USSR.
* [[Genius Bruiser]]: Sergei's far from stupid; in fact the entire T.A.L.O.S. design was his idea.
* [[Handicapped Badass]]: Blind in one eye, due to action in Afghanistan. It doesn't slow him down much.
* [[The Heavy]]: In ''The Umbrella Chronicles'', where almost every major event is determined by his actions. More broadly, he fills this role to Ozwell Spencer. Spencer's the mastermind, but his age and crippling leave him reliant on Sergei to do just about everything for him. Actually [[Justified]]; see [[Undying Loyalty]] below.
* [[Large Ham]]: As bad as Wesker. Leads to [[Ham-to-Ham Combat]].
* [[Laughing Mad]]: {{spoiler|After he mutates while fighting Wesker.}}.
* [[Licking the Blade]]: Repeatedly cuts himself with his double-edged knife, before licking up the blood.
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: In the same vein as Wesker.
* [[The Man Behind the Man]]: To many of the events in ''[[Resident Evil 2]]'' and ''[[Resident Evil 3: Nemesis]]'', as well as much of ''The Umbrella Chronicles''.
* [[Obviously Evil]]: So, the huge Russian guy in the greatcoat, with the booming voice is evil huh? Who'd'a thunk it?
* [[One-Winged Angel]]: Loses control and transforms into an [[Body Horror|utterly hideous]] Tyrant during his confrontation with Wesker.
Line 1,125 ⟶ 1,118:
* [[The Unfought]]: From an in-game perspective. The player gets to face him as Wesker, but the heroes never do.
 
== Villains Introduced in ''Resident Evil 5'' ==
=== Ozwell E. Spencer ===
[[File:Ozwell Spencer 3224.jpg|frame]]
Line 1,131 ⟶ 1,124:
A British [[Blue Blood|lord]] and founder and President of the Umbrella Corporation, who sent in motion the events of the entire series in an attempt to make a new, superior race with himself ruling over it.
 
* [[Aristocrats Are Evil]]: He's a Lord...... his last name is perhaps a [[Shout-Out]] to the venerable Spencer family, of which Princess Diana was a member.
* [[A God Am I]]: "I was to become a god!"
* [[Bigger Bad]]: He's [[The Man Behind the Man]] to all of Umbrella, including [[A God Am I|Alexia]], [[Dragon-in-Chief|Sergei]], [[Mad Scientist|Birkin]], and series' most recurring villain [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder|Albert Wesker]]. Yet is rarely seen throughout the series and doesn't even interact with the protagonists
* {{spoiler|[[Anticlimax Boss]]: Killed by Wesker in under one second.}}
* [[The Chessmaster]]: He's been running everything since well before the events of ''Resident Evil 0''.
* [[Aristocrats Are Evil]]: He's a Lord......his last name is perhaps a [[Shout-Out]] to the venerable Spencer family, of which [[Princess Diana]] was a member.
* [[Bigger Bad]]:: He's [[The Man Behind the Man]] to all of Umbrella, including [[A God Am I|Alexia]], [[Dragon-in-Chief|Sergei]], [[Mad Scientist|Birkin]], and series' most recurring villain, [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder|Albert Wesker]]. Yet is rarely seen throughout the series and doesn't even interact with the protagonists
* [[The Chessmaster]]
* [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder]]: Kills Marcus through Wesker and Birkin, betrays the latter for attempting to leave Umbrella, betrays George Trevor by locking him inside his mansion, and lastly betrays {{spoiler|Wesker by admitting he is his creation}}.
* [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]
* [[Evil Cripple]]: He's in a wheelchair when Wesker finds him.
* [[Evil Old Folks]]: 89 {{spoiler|when he dies.}}.
* [[A God Am I]]: "I was to become a god!"
* {{spoiler|[[Impaled with Extreme Prejudice]]: How Wesker kills him, using his bare hands!}}
* {{spoiler|[[Impaled with Extreme Prejudice]]: How Wesker kills him, using his bare hands}}!
* [[Mad Scientist]]
* [[Mad Scientist]]: It goes overlooked, but he was part of the research team who originally studied and refined the Progenitor Virus.
* [[The Man Behind the Curtain]]: He's behind all the bad stuff in series, whether directly or indirectly, but he's little more than a pitiful old man, whining about how he was unable to achieve godhood.
* [[The Man Behind the Man]]: To Sergei, who's his [[Dragon-in-Chief]], Alexia and Birkin (who he employs), and in an odd way, Wesker, who he created.
Line 1,147 ⟶ 1,139:
* [[Non-Action Big Bad]]: Par excellence.
* [[Smug Snake]]: Smart and a capable schemer, he's behind almost every bad thing in-series, but he waited too long to put his plan in motion, allowing Wesker to highjack it for himself.
* {{spoiler|[[The Unfought]]: The heroes never even meet him.}}.
 
=== Excella Gionne ===
[[File:Excella Gionne.jpg|frame|You're just not ready for me!]]
 
 
An antagonist apearing on ''[[Resident Evil 5]]''. She was CEO of [[Mega Corp|Tricell]] Africa and one of the responsibles for the creation of the Uroboros Virus. She also shared Wesker's idea of [[World Domination]] and intended to be the [[God Save Us From the Queen|Queen]] of the new world with Wesker as her King.
 
* [[Absolute Cleavage]]: See the image.
* [[All Girls Want Bad Boys]]: She was in love with Wesker of all people!
* [[All Women Are Lustful]]: Some of her interactions with Wesker seems to verge on this. Though it is understandable since Wesker is a [[Estrogen Brigade Bait|steamy hunk]].
Line 1,162 ⟶ 1,153:
* [[Better Living Through Evil]]
* [[Brainy Brunette]]: Evil Brainy Brunette.
* [[Combat Stilettos]]: She keeps her high heels in ''Mercenaries Reunion''.
* [[Dark Action Girl]] [[Lady of War]]: Though she doesn't fight in the actual game, on ''Mercenaries Reunion'', she kicks ass with vicious elegance.
* [[Et Tu, Brute?]]: {{spoiler|On the receiving end of this, though seeing this is Wesker we're talking about, it's really no surprise.}}.
* [[Everyone Looks Sexier If French]]: Sort of. She possesses a French Accentaccent, but her last name is closer to that of Italian.
* [[Everything Sounds Sexier in French]]: Oh God! Her accent turns her sexiness [[Up to Eleven]]!
* [[Evilutionary Biologist]]
* [[Femme Fatale]]: [[Subverted]]. She has all it takes to be one, beauty, intelligence and cunning, but {{spoiler|in the end, she is the one who falls for Wesker's [[Casanova|masculine wiles]] and pays for it.}}.
* [[Foreign Fanservice]]: She's Italian.
** [[Fridge Logic]]: With a frenchFrench accent and a name that's everything but italianItalian.

* [[Jiggle Physics]]

* [[Rich Bitch]]: The Gionne family owns a very successful European export-import business and one of Excella's grandmothers is of the Travis family, the original founders of TRICELL Inc. Rich, smart and beautiful, Excella looks down on almost everyone she meets.
* [[Rich Bitch]]
* [[Say My Name]]: '''ALBERT!!!'''
* [[Sexy Backless Outfit]]
* [[She Fu]]: Her Disco Spin move.
* [[Statuesque Stunner]]: 5'9".
* [[Stripperific]]: A backless mini-dress and pumps is not the appropriate attire for running around the African jungle or an oil rig.
* [[Stripperific]]
* {{spoiler|[[Too Dumb to Live]]: It's hard to believe she really thought Wesker ''wasn't'' going to stab her in the ribs.}}.
* [[Unholy Matrimony]]: With Wesker, though they weren't indeed married to each other, but in her head...
* [[What Could Have Been]]: She would have simply been a secretary to Tricell, and her death was portrayed very differently (she would have died in the hands of a Tyrant-like creature, ''literally''), although its unknown whether Wesker was involved in that particular death.
* [[Wicked Cultured]]: Her dress and shoes are both based on pieces by real life designers.
* [[Woman in White]]: Though it's not played for mystery or necessarily to show that she is evil.
Line 1,189 ⟶ 1,179:
{{quote|"You'll be pleased to hear that all experiments are running smoothly."}}
 
A trusted servant of Oswell E. Spencer and, after {{spoiler|Albert Wesker's apparent death in ''[[Resident Evil 5]]'', the sole survivor of the Wesker children project}}. His existence is revealed by files in ''[[Resident Evil 5]]'''s ''Lost In Nightmares'' DLC, where it's revealed he was conducting experiments for Spencer in the South Seas. With Spencer's death, his current whereabouts are unknown.
 
* [[The Dragon]]: To Spencer.
Line 1,197 ⟶ 1,187:
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: As with Albert.
* [[Parental Favoritism]]: Spencer's favorite of all the Wesker children.
* [[Samus Is a Girl]]: Subverted. Because of botched translations and localizations of ''Lost of Nightmares'', any third person gender identifiers were left out, leading several fans to assume that Alex was female. The Japanese version makes it very clear that Alex was a male.
* [[Stronger Sibling]]: Is already being set up this way, although who knows if it will last.
* [[Super Soldier]]: Given the strong implications that he took the same virus as Albert Wesker did in the notes regarding Alex, it is extremely likely that he became this, with all the abilities Albert Wesker had.
 
== Villains Introduced In ''Resident Evil: Degeneration'' ==
=== Chris Miller ===
 
The brother of Angela Miller. He injected himself with the G-Virus prior to the events of Degeneration.
 
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: Unusually for most ''Resident Evil'' villains, his motivations for doing evil was actually for benign reasons: Hehe injected himself with the G-Virusvirus and caused an outbreak in the WilPharma facility and at the airport in order to get them to reveal the truth of what happened in Raccoon City, as he didn't want the tragedy to ever happen again.
