History Characters / FamiliarEvil

* EvilInc: One of the most famous in all of fiction. A perfect example was their response to the T-Virus outbreak, where they sent their forces in not primarily to rescue survivors (although the U.B.C.S. was doing just that[[note]]Though canon revealed Umbrella sent the U.B.C.S. as [[UnwittingPawn Unwitting Pawns]] sent in to test how effective their bioweapons were[[/note]]) but instead to secure any evidence of them being at fault and using it as a prime opportunity to test their "products."

* RevolversAreJustBetter: Louise's starter gun is a Smith & Wesson Model 36 [=LadySmith=] revolver. Not because she or Saito feel revolvers are cooler, but simply due to the fact that revolvers would be easier for Louise to use and understand due to them being comparatively simpler than semi-automatic pistols like Saito's Browning Hi-Power and later his Glock 17.

!The Umbrella Corporation

[[folder: General]]
One of the largest and most powerful pharmaceutical companies in the world, by the late 1990s the Umbrella Corporation formed the heart of Raccoon City's economy, politics, and infrastructure. On the surface, they appear to be a well-meaning multinational conglomerate held in high esteem by the general public, particularly viewed by the residents of Raccoon City as the saviors of their home following an economic crisis. But the truth is far more sinister, as the Umbrella Corporation proves to be a ruthless MegaCorp devoid of morality and focused, above all else, on securing money and power for themselves.

* WhatTheHell,Hero: Suero chastises Kirche twice for her reckless use of fire to kill zombified creatures. While both times were definitely surprising, they ran the risk of killing members of the rescue party.

* ZombieInfectee: [[spoiler:Alphonse was bitten by the zombified Erard. While the wound was healed by his sister and his own claims that he's fine, his repeated instances of coughing indicate he's been infected.]]

* BrokenPedestal: Has this view towards Romalia and the Brimiric Church in general. His homeland, Hespérian, was under brutal Elven occupation for centuries and its people sequestered into ghettos before they managed to launch a successful rebellion to kick them out. The newly independent Kingdom of Hespéria, though, was shortlived as it was soon invaded and conquered by the Holy Empire of Romalia, becoming a new province and forcing many to flee across the continent. He, like many other Hespérians, never forgave Romalia for this betrayal and makes his hostility towards Julio and the Church open.

** Gets even more pronounced once it is discovered that Kirche von Zerbst and Tabitha, along with Sylphid, infiltrated the rescue team and took the place of three commoners. Although he doesn't finish his declaration, he makes it abundantly clear that he furious and, should his family die on this mission, would likely go to war against the Zerbst family over it.

* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: [[spoiler:As Karin notes, the Hiragas took her in, clothed her, fed her, taught her, and pretty much treated her as a daughter solely out if the goodness of their hearts, with Saito in particular becoming her closest friend. As such, despite thinking that finding and binding her familiar would return her to Terre, she chooses not to do so when she realises ''Saito'' is her familiar, as she refuses to separate the family that showed her such kindness]].

* BadassNormal: All of the commoner soldiers who are members of the rescue party. Agnes in particular qualifies as she is the personal bodyguard of Princess Henrietta and [[spoiler: is a mage killer.]]

* DarkAndTroubledPast: Used to be a black ops soldier working for the crown and the church, but after [[spoiler:burning down Agnes' village presumably to contain a plague but actually because they were Protestant]] he has renounced his former occupation and became a teacher.

* BrutalHonesty: When Princess Henrietta asks her what she expects to face on the mission, Agnes immediately says casualties.

* RedShirt: [[spoiler:Erard becomes the first of the Rescue Party to die, his throat ripped apart by a zombie while protecting Kirche. He revives as a zombie and manages to bite Alphonse de Hauet before Agnes shoots him in the head, putting him down for good.]]

* BareYourMidriff: While in the field in Raccoon City, Fowler has modified her outfit somewhat to expose a bit more skin, particularly around her belly.

* EvilInc: One of the most famous in all of fiction. A perfect example was their response to the T-Virus outbreak, where they sent their forces in not primarily to rescue survivors (although the U.B.C.S. was doing just that) but instead to secure any evidence of them being at fault and using it as a prime opportunity to test their "products."

* SwordAndSorcerer: Saito is the sword whereas Louise is the sorcerer. This dynamic extends to how they wage combat, with Saito having the most direct damage-dealing weapons and Louise being in a more support role.

* ChickMagnet: Saito, as revealed by his father. Apparently, ever since he was a kid he would attract girls to him because he was a nice guy. Until Louise came around, Saito never gave them any real attention, prompting the girls to move on.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Saito is by no means stupid, but despite being by all definitions very mundane turns out to be a very capable combatant against zombies and other undead.

* BadBoss: While they pay their employees well, that's the only good thing about working for Umbrella. Otherwise, they treat their employees like crap, having a poor safety record, constantly berating their employees for the most minor mistakes even if it was outside of their control, and completely disregard any complaints sent their way.
* BigBad: Serves as the main antagonist of the entire story, being both the direct cause of the outbreak in the first place and creating many of the monsters that threaten the survivors in the city itself. They also sent U.S.S. Delta Team, or "Wolfpack", after Louise in an attempt to kidnap her for study. Even when a Tyrant attacks Delta Team in the middle of a firefight between them and US Special Forces team Echo-Six, their response was to blame ''them'' for getting in its way.

** LUPO: You know the order of importance: survival, the mission, ''then'' pride. That's what's kept us alive all these years, and I won't let a sixteen-year-old girl mess that up.

* GoodScarsEvilScars: In contrast to the rest of her noble peers, who use their magic to remove such things, Roselyne sports plenty of scars across her body from previous battles. The only person who knows why they weren't removed as Roselyne herself.

* NotSoAboveItAll: Despite his professional attitude, even he reacts with incredible disgust upon seeing(and smelling) Gorge's corpse.

* NotSoAboveItAll: Considering she is a medical professional who is also a veteran mercenary and works for a Bioweapons company, she's not exactly a squeamish person. But upon seeing(and smelling) Gorge's corpse, she is just as overwhelmingly grossed out as VECTOR.

On the surface, they appear to be a well-meaning multinational conglomerate held in high esteem by the general public, particularly viewed by the residents of Raccoon City as the saviors of their home following an economic crisis.

Even when a Tyrant attacks Delta Team in the middle of a firefight between them and US Special Forces team Echo-Six, their response was to blame ''them'' for getting in its way.
* CutLexLuthorACheck: Their mainline pharmaceutical products, such as healing spray, are legitimately the best in the world. They could've simply continued to sell them legally and amassed untold amounts of profit. Instead, Umbrella decided to delve into making bioweapons that turn people into zombies.
* EvilInc: One of the most famous in all of fiction. A perfect example was their response to the T-Virus outbreak, where they sent their forces in not primarily to rescue survivors (although the U.B.C.S. was doing just that) but instead to secure any evidence of them being at fault and using it as a prime opportunity to test their "products."
* ItIsDehumanizing: Refers to Louise exclusively as "Subject Zero," study her for her magic which, prior to her arrival to Raccoon City, had never been observed. Before the Outbreak, they were content with gathering small samples under the guise of routine medical procedures. Once the Outbreak begins, they decide to use the opportunity to outright kidnap her for more direct and unobstructed experimentation.
* MegaCorp: The Umbrella Corporation, over the span of decades, amassed large quantities of wealth and power, coming to effectively dominate the pharmaceutical industry. After an economic crisis nearly brought Raccoon City into bankruptcy, Umbrella used their favorable position to bail the city out in exchange for effectively controlling the city's infrastructure, including utilities, media, emergency services, and eventually both city hall and law enforcement. By the time the T-Virus Outbreak begins, they effectively ''control'' Raccoon City, with only a handful of people aware of the truth.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: Before the T-Virus Outbreak, Umbrella was held in high esteem by the residents of Raccoon City. Saito even defended them when Louise expressed skepticism over how much control they seemed to have over the city itself. [[spoiler: That reputation is completely destroyed following the T-Virus spreading across the city, with the survivors and US Government blaming them for everything and causing the company to go into damage control mode.]]

[[folder: Dr. William Birkin]]
Formerly of the top scientists of the Umbrella Corporation, and the creator of the G-Virus, Dr. William Birkin worked for Umbrella for decades, being a major contributor to the development of the T-Virus. But, after his contributions to the company were ignored one too many times, he attempted to betray the company and sell his creation to an outside party. When Umbrella caught wind of his treachery, their attempt to apprehend him would result in him getting mortally wounded, forcing him to inject himself with a sample of the G-Virus to save his life. This decision set into motion a chain of events that would see him transform into an inhuman monster known as G and bring about the downfall of Raccoon City to his creations. Saito and Louise, while attempting to escape Raccoon City through the sewers, accidentally come across him, forcing them to run for their lives while Birkin pursues.

* AdaptiveAbility: His G-Virus infection grants him immense regenerative abilities. Despite being shot in the head by Saito in an attempt to put him out of his misery, his wound healed in a matter of seconds.
* AdmiringTheAbomination: Was fascinated and obsessed with his creation, the G-Virus.
* AssholeVictim: While he certainly did not deserve the fate he received, Dr. Birkin was instrumental in the research and development of both the T-Virus and the G-Virus, two of the deadliest bioweapons mankind has ever created, along with all sorts of unethical experiments the Umbrella Corporation conducted.
* AxCrazy: The G-Virus has completely warped Birkin's mind, making him attack and try to kill anyone he comes across.
* BodyHorror: The G-Virus has warped and mutated his body to a horrifying degree, making him resemble something out of Film/TheThing1982.
* CarryABigStick: Walks around with a massive pipe that he ripped out of the wall he uses as a club.
* FightingFromTheInside: Part of Birkin is still inside when he's infected by the G-Virus and he attempts to both stop himself and beg for a MercyKill. Unfortunately, his attempts at control are fleeting, at best.
* EvilutionaryBiologist: Helped create the T-Virus and created the G-Virus himself.
* EyesDoNotBelongThere: In his G-1 form, he has a massive eye on his right shoulder. It being open is an indication that he is no longer in control of his body.
* GrandTheftMe: The G-Virus has done this to him, turning Birkin into an animalistic monster.
* HealingFactor: Capable of healing from several bullet wounds in his chest and even a headshot like they were nothing.
* HeroicWillpower: While Birkin pre-infection was far from heroic, whenever he does manages to regain control of his body post-infection he uses it to try and prevent himself from hurting anyone else, such as Saito and Louise.
* LaserGuidedKarma: Dr. Birkin was responsible for the destruction of dozens, if not hundreds of lives prior to his defection from Umbrella, relishing in his "achievements", only to be shot, left for dead, and forced to turn himself into a monster where he's trapped in a cycle of endless pain and suffering.
* LastNameBasis: On account of Saito and Louise not knowing his first name, they exclusively refer to him as Birkin.
* MadScientist: Par for the course for the Umbrella Corporation.
* NighInvulnerability: Thanks to his HealingFactor and bulk, courtesy of the G-Virus, Birkin is nearly indestructible to small-arms fire. He was able to completely destroy U.S.S. Alpha Team despite being subjected to copious amounts of firepower, and not even a headshot from Saito's pistol could put him down.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: First thing Birkin did after infecting himself with the G-Virus was to hunt down Alpha Team for both shooting him and stealing his G-Virus. Unfortunately, by the time he got to them, he was no longer Birkin.
* SplitPersonalityTakeover: The G-Virus completely unbalanced himself, resulting in Birkin developing a SplitPersonality: the intelligent Dr. Birkin and the monstrously violent G. Most of the time, G is in control of his body and its grasp only increases with each passing moment.
* WasOnceAMan: Before getting infected with the G-Virus, Birkin was just a normal middle-aged man.
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: He wasn't the most stable person to begin with, but getting infected with the G-Virus made it much, much worse.

!!!Umbrella Security Service
[[folder: General]]
The elite paramilitary forces unit employed by the Umbrella Corporation, the U.S.S. is tasked with carrying out their most vital and clandestine operations. They are highly trained, well-armed, and extremely dangerous to anyone who gets in the way of their mission.

* CanonForeigner: Played with. While the Umbrella Security Service as a whole is certainly canonical, the members of U.S.S. Delta Team, aka Wolfpack, hail from the non-canon game ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilOperationRaccoonCity'' instead of a canonical entry.
* CodeName: All U.S.S. operators are assigned one, and when on the field it is policy to exclusively call each other by their code names. This is both out of a sense of operational security, as well as foster feelings of detachment towards their squadmates should they be killed while in the line of duty.
* EliteMooks: They are given the best gear and best training of any mercenary employed by Umbrella.
* GasMaskMook: Part of their standard kit in order to protect the wearer from potential infection.

[[folder: Karena LesProux '''(LUPO)''']]
Former GIGN operative and the squad leader of U.S.S. Delta Team, aka Wolfpack, LUPO is the most psychologically stable of the team. She is still a ruthless mercenary hellbent on capturing Louise, both for a massive payday and to ensure that they can get out of the Hell that is Raccoon City.

* AFatherToHisMen: Places the health and security of her team above anything else.
** LUPO: You know the order of importance: survival, the mission, ''then'' pride. That's what's kept us alive all these years, and I won't let a sixteen-year-old girl mess that up.
* MamaBear: Fiercely protective of her team, desiring to keep them alive above all else.
* PunchClockVillain: Is simply going after Louise and Saito because that is her current job. She holds no real satisfaction in doing so.
* WouldHurtAChild: Despite being a parent herself, LUPO is perfectly willing to kidnap Louise. Not out of actual malice, but simply because it is her job. Later, the added motivation of Louise's capture likely being their ticket out of Raccoon City further drives her pursuit. [[spoiler: She openly admits that she would love to follow BERTHA's suggestion of outright abandoning their pursuit of Louise once she and Saito flee into the sewers, but it is only the knowledge that, without Louise, Umbrella is unlikely to extract them that makes her stay the course.]]

[[folder: Vladimir Bodrovski '''(SPECTRE)''']]
The closest thing to a second-in-command behind LUPO, SPECTRE is a former FSB agent and currently serves as Delta Team's sniper and marksman. He is an excellent shot and consummate professional, dedicated to fulfilling his job while getting him and his team out alive.

* ColdSniper: Is the team's marksman, and tends to be emotionally detached while on the field.
* GogglesDoSomethingUnusual: In addition to helping him aim his rifle at long range without a scope, SPECTRE's goggles grant him thermal imaging capabilities and night-vision.
* PunchClockVillain: Holds no real animosity towards Louise and Saito, simply trying to apprehend them both because it is his job and because doing so is the only way to get out of the city.
* WouldHurtAChild: Perfectly willing to kidnap Louise and hand her over to Umbrella, who would doubtlessly conduct horrific experiments on her, simply to get paid.

[[folder: Christine Yamata '''(FOUR EYES)''']]
Delta Team's field scientist, FOUR EYES is tasked with securing valuable battlefield intelligence data on B.O.W.s, relaying that information back to the company for further analysis as well as to satiate her own intense curiosity.

* AsianAndNerdy: Is Japanese-American and the most scientifically literate on the team.
* TheBeastMaster: Can use grenades filled with pheremones to attract zombies and B.O.W.s to specific areas or attack targets. She cannot, however, prevent them from attacking her and her teammates.
* LackOfEmpathy: Displays little to no empathy for Umbrella's victims.
* PunchClockVillain: Holds no real animosity towards Louise and Saito, simply trying to apprehend them both because it is her job and because doing so is the only way to get out of the city.
* WouldHurtAChild: Perfectly willing to kidnap Louise and hand her over to Umbrella, who would doubtlessly conduct horrific experiments on her, simply to get paid.

[[folder: '''VECTOR''']]
Delta Team's stealth operator and one of their more effective frontline combatants, VECTOR is a highly skilled and mildly sociopathic mercenary trained directly by the Umbrella Corporation itself.

* ClickHello: Tends to do this when coming out of cloak.
* InTheHood: Wears a hood over his combat uniform.
* InvisibilityCloak: His armor is covered in photoreactive panels that can turn him invisible.
* KnownOnlyByTheirNickname: Unlike the others, he does not have a given name, exclusively being referred to by his code name.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Despite his professional attitude, even he reacts with incredible disgust upon seeing(and smelling) Gorge's corpse.
* PunchClockVillain: While the most openly loyal member of the team towards the Umbrella Corporation, mostly in terms of getting the job done, ultimately he only holds real loyalty to himself. The only reason why he initially goes after Louise is because he was paid to do so, initially finding no real enjoyment in it and finding the task somewhat beneath him. After Lousie and Saito put them through hell during their escape, however, those feelings subside.
* WouldHurtAChild: The most willing of the team to actively fight and harm Saito and Louise, nearly giving Louise a concussion during their first encounter and beating Saito to near death in the Raccoon City Mall.

[[folder: Michaela Schneider '''(BERTHA)''']]
Formerly a German military doctor, BERTHA now serves as Delta Team's field medic and is tasked with both keeping her teammates in the fight for as long as possible as well as staving off possible T-Virus infection. She is, however, just as proficient in causing pain as she is in treating it.

* BattleaxeNurse: While she is completely devoted towards keeping her teammates alive, BERTHA has no such qualms against inflicting grievous bodily harm to her enemies. In fact, she revels in it.
* HerrDoktor: Is a German doctor, complete with a thick accent.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Considering she is a medical professional who is also a veteran mercenary and works for a Bioweapons company, she's not exactly a squeamish person. But upon seeing(and smelling) Gorge's corpse, she is just as overwhelmingly grossed out as VECTOR.
* PunchClockVillain: Holds no real loyalty towards Umbrella and is simply going after Louise and Saito because she is getting paid to do so. [[spoiler: That being said, when Louise and Saito flee into the sewers, she does suggest lying to Umbrella and saying that they lost them. Not out a desire to protect the children, rather because she ''knows'' the kind of horrors calling the sewers home and does not want any part of it.]]
* WouldHurtAChild: Perfectly willing to kidnap Louise and hand her over to Umbrella, who would doubtlessly conduct horrific experiments on her, simply to get paid.

[[folder: Hector Hivers '''(BELTWAY)''']]
A dishonorably discharged US soldier, BELTWAY's prediliction towards destruction led him to Umbrella, whom he now serves as Delta Team's demotion expert.

* ArtificialLimbs: His left leg is a prosthetic, the result of an explosion gone wrong.
* BadassBandolier: Wears a grenade belt filled with high explosives.
* TheBrute: Somewhat of a subversion. While BELTWAY is the largest and most physically imposing of the team, he's by far the most professional out of all of them, second only to LUPO and SPECTRE. He's also able to keep his emotions in check far more than VECTOR.
* PunchClockVillain: While all of Delta Team sees their service with Umbrella in this manner, BELTWAY is the most open about it. He holds no real animosity towards Louise during their pursuit of her, and while he does gain some animosity towards her after, among other things, getting blown up by her, he's mostly able to keep his emotions in check.
* WouldHurtAChild: Despite finding no real enjoyment in it, BELTWAY is perfectly willing to kidnap Louise and hand her over to Umbrella for experimentation so that he can both get handsomely paid and extracted out of Raccoon City.

[[folder: '''HUNK''']]
Also known as Mr. Death, HUNK is Umbrella's Number 1 operative. Leader of the ill-fated Alpha Team sent to retrieve the G-Virus and Dr. William Birkin, Saito and Louise briefly encounter him in the sewers beneath Raccoon City, battling his way through zombies and B.O.W.s to retrieve the remaining samples of the G-Virus after his team was wiped out by an infected Birkin.

* TheAce: Easily Umbrella's best non-SuperSoldier operative, and it shows in his brief appearance.
* BadassNormal: Due to possessing no biological augmentations or magic of any kind, HUNK definitely qualifies for this.
* TheCameo: Hunk has (so far) only appeared briefly in the story, fighting through a swarm of Zombies single-handily to retrieve an intact sample of the G-Virus, and only notices Saito and Louise once he's achieved his objective, themselves only having run into him by accident. Luckily for them, HUNK is either unaware and/or uncaring of Umbrella's plans to capture and experiment upon Louise, only wanting to finish the mission that got his team killed and get out. So, while being bemused and wary of the two teenagers who've stumbled into his path, Hunk simply backs away and begins finding his way out of the sewers. For their part, Saito and Louise wisely choose not to engage after seeing his display of strength and skill.
* {{Determinator}}: Despite barely surviving the encounter with Birkin that killed his team and having played witness to the T-Virus Infestation of Raccoon City since its earliest stages, and therefore having encountered every zombified creature and freed Bio-Organic-Weapon let loose in the sewers, HUNK remains undaunted in his mission to acquire the last sample of the G-Virus.
* OneManArmy: HUNK is just one man, having neither been blessed with magic nor biologically augmented, and he managed to survive the better part of a week in the sewers of Raccoon City(arguably the most dangerous area of the city following the release of the T-Virus), and still accomplish his mission while simultaneously fighting his way through a horde of zombies, and dodging Birkin as well. Saito and Louise are stupefied and terrified at the sight of this man-monster before them, and [[WordOfGod TRESTWHO says it best:]]
--> HUNK is an RE Protagonist-level combatant working for the villains. Even if [[InstantExpert Saito]] and [[PoweroftheVoid Louise]] had their full arsenal/powers on hand, they'd be hard pressed to take the guy out. He's that badass.

!United States Government

The government of the United States of America, the country which Racoon City calls home. When the T-Virus is unleashed upon Racoon City, they quarantine Arklay County and send in Special Forces teams to gather evidence of Umbrella's involvement in the incident and evacuate survivors.

* BigGood: Played with; while the USA certainly has its share of skeletons in its closet, as with real life, they are firmly dedicated to saving lives, stopping the spread of the disease, and bringing the Umbrella Corporation to justice.
* QuarantineWithExtremePrejudice: The US Army has been deployed in force to keep the zombies from escaping from Arklay County into the rest of the country, [[spoiler: and, as per canon, [[ItsTheOnlyWayToBeSure are preparing to hit the city with a prototype thermobaric bomb]].]]
** Though it is important to note that their version of the quarantine is considerably more humane than most traditional examples; another objective for the Special Forces being sent into Racoon City is to locate survivors and direct them towards fortified evacuation sites (or directly evacuate them out in the case of witnesses against Umbrella; such as Saito and Louise) to help them escape.

!!!Echo Six
[[folder: General]]
A U.S. Special Forces team sent into Raccoon City to both rescue survivors and obtain evidence linking Umbrella to the T-Virus outbreak. After a chance encounter with Saito and Louise, they prove to be instrumental towards the teenagers finding a way out of the city with their lives.

* CanonForeigner: Like Delta Team, Echo Six hails from the non-canon game ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilOperationRaccoonCity'' instead of a canonical entry.
* CodeName: Each member of Echo Six has a callsign that they use. In contrast to the U.S.S. though, who make it a point to only refer to each other as their codenames, Echo Six use each other's names openly and frequently.
* GoodCounterpart: Each member of Echo Six corresponds to a member of U.S.S. Delta Team and are completely heroic. This is proven when they encounter Saito and Louise, immediately attempting to evacuate them then, when Delta Team attacks their position, provides covering fire to allow the teenagers to escape.
* HelmetsAreHardlyHeroic: In sharp contrast to the U.S.S., all of whom wear various pieces of headgear that cover part or their entire face, the members of Echo Six leave their faces open and exposed.

[[folder: Captain Crispin Jettingham '''(DEE-AY)''']]
The leader of Echo Six, Captain Jettingham is a model soldier. Extremely skilled and a competent military commander, he prioritizes above all else the safety of his team and civilians alongside completing his mission.

* TheAce: One of, if not the, most skilled combatants in Echo Six.
* TheCaptain: Leads Echo Six firmly and dutifully, earning the respect and admiration of his entire team in the process whom all would be willing to follow him into Hell and back.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Has a small scar right below his right eye, but is a firmly heroic man.
* TheLeader: A levelheaded and very experienced one.
* NervesOfSteel: Even when trapped in the utter hell that is Raccoon City, Captain Jettingham is more than able to keep his cool. It literally takes a literal Tyrant arriving in the middle of a firefight between Echo Six and Delta Team for him to even begin to lose his composure.
* OhCrap: Lets out one when a Tyrant descends upon him while completely shrugging off the hail of gunfire sent its way.
* StraightGay: While he doesn't openly show it, Jettingham's codename of DEE-AY is a shorthard for Don't Ask, itself a reference to the infamous U.S. Military policy Don't Ask, Don't Tell.

[[folder: Lieutenant Caroline Floyd '''(WILLOW)''')]]
Growing up in Crow Indian Reservation in Montana, Lieutenant Caroline "WILLOW" Floyd was afforded ample opportunities to develop her skills in speed and elusion. She used those skills to great effect once she enlisted in the U.S. military straight out of high school, eventually landing a position in Echo Six as their recon specialist and their second-in-command.

* InjunCountry: Grew up in the Crow Indian Reservation in Montana, where she learned much of the skills she eventually employed in her military career.
* ThePerfectionist: As a result of growing up in extremely harsh conditions, where one mistake could mean the difference between life and death, WILLOW constantly practices her skills to keep them as sharp as she possibly could.

[[folder: Sergeant Erez Morris '''(HARLEY)''']]
Sergeant Erez Morris used to be nothing more than a foul-mouthed member of a notorious biker gang. Forced to go into military service in order to avoid jail time, he found his calling as a medic while serving in Operation DESERT STORM. He now serves as Echo Six' medical officer, patching up both his teammates and any civilians they find on the field with tenderness and grace.

* BadassBiker: He used to be, and has the tattoos all over his body and face to prove it.
* TheBigGuy: Physically the most imposing member of Echo Six, but also the gentlest.
* CombatMedic: Serves as Echo Six's medical officer, but is just as willing to throw down with the rest of them.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Was forced to join the military in order to avoid going to jail. Turned out to be the best decision he ever made.
* HiddenDepths: You wouldn't tell based off his appearance, but the muscular and heavily tattooed Sergeant Morris is one of the best field medics in the entire U.S. military.
* TheNiceGuy: Is the gentlest member of Echo Six, in spite of his intimidating appearance, as evidenced as he was the first to point out that Saito and Louise had just been through an incredibly traumatic experience, and they could ask questions about why Umbrella is after them once they've been safely extracted.
* NoOneGetsLeftBehind: A philosophy he firmly believes in and dedicates himself to as a result of his service in the Gulf War.
* SirSwearsALot: Tends to curse a lot in combat, harkening back to his biker days.
* TradingBarsForStripes: Chose to enlist in the Army instead of going to jail.

[[folder: Sergeant Marisa Ronson '''(TWEED)''']]
A former member of the British Secret Intelligence Service, Sergeant Marisa Ronson thought her career as a demolitions expert was over following an injury sustained while on the job. Instead, she was sought out by the U.S. Army to join them instead due to her expertise, where she eventually became the demolitions expert of Echo Six.

* BoisterousBruiser: Has a very loud and strong personality that tends to seep into her actions, both in and out of combat.
* CareerEndingInjury: Suffered one that forced her out of the SIS before being recruited by the U.S. Army.
* SmallGirlBigGun: Carries a light-machine gun in combat despite having a very stout frame.

[[folder: Sergeant Lawrence Kimbala '''(SHONA)''']]
A native to Zimbabwe, Sergeant Lawrence Kimbala was exposed to the harmful and deadly effects of disease from a young age. When his father passed way, he enrolled in Harvard Medical School where he developed a talent for controlling viruses. This talent served him well when he eventually joined the Army's special weapons program as an expert in virology, eventually becoming Echo Six's field scientist.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: Grew up in the war-torn nation of Zimbabwe and is covered in scars.
* EyeScream: Is blind in his right eye following an injury that left a large scar across it.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Has plenty of them, particularly across his head.
* PlayingWithSyringes: Stores plenty of them on his person in order to take samples of any infected creature he comes across, a task he takes to with pleasure.
* TokenEvilTeammate: While he still is ultimately a goodhearted and heroic individual, he is still the most amoral member of Echo Six.

[[folder: Sergeant Sienna Fowler '''(PARTY GIRL)''']]
At one point, Sergeant Sienna Fowler was known as the organizer for several and frequent wild parties that top businessmen and public officials happily attended. It was during these parties that Fowler would record incriminating behavior and information, which she would then sell to the highest bidder. It was during one of these parties that she fooled one of the top surveilance experts for the U.S. Federal Government, which landed her a job rather than a prison sentence. She eventually rose through the ranks to become Echo Six's sniper.

* BareYourMidriff: While in the field in Raccoon City, Fowler has modified her outfit somewhat to expose a bit more skin, particularly around her belly.
* DeadpanSnarker: Likes to sarcastically joke around regardless of the situation.
* FriendlySniper: In sharp contrast to the cold and detached SPECTRE, Fowler is much more upbeat and easy going.
* RecruitingTheCriminal: Spent much of her youth blackmailing high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen before eventually managing to dupe a member of the U.S. Federal Government, which landed her a lucrative job.

* AnAxeToGrind: Louise ends up finding and utilizing a small hatchet to defend herself from zombies.

!The Umbrella Corporation

[[folder: General]]
One of the largest and most powerful pharmaceutical companies in the world, by the late 1990s the Umbrella Corporation formed the heart of Raccoon City's economy, politics, and infrastructure. On the surface, they appear to be a well-meaning multinational conglomerate held in high esteem by the general public, particularly viewed by the residents of Raccoon City as the saviors of their home following an economic crisis. But the truth is far more sinister, as the Umbrella Corporation proves to be a ruthless MegaCorp devoid of morality and focused, above all else, on securing money and power for themselves.

* BadBoss: While they pay their employees well, that's the only good thing about working for Umbrella. Otherwise, they treat their employees like crap, having a poor safety record, constantly berating their employees for the most minor mistakes even if it was outside of their control, and completely disregard any complaints sent their way.
* BigBad: Serves as the main antagonist of the entire story, being both the direct cause of the outbreak in the first place and creating many of the monsters that threaten the survivors in the city itself. They also sent U.S.S. Delta Team, or "Wolfpack", after Louise in an attempt to kidnap her for study. Even when a Tyrant attacks Delta Team in the middle of a firefight between them and US Special Forces team Echo-Six, their response was to blame ''them'' for getting in its way.
* CutLexLuthorACheck: Their mainline pharmaceutical products, such as healing spray, are legitimately the best in the world. They could've simply continued to sell them legally and amassed untold amounts of profit. Instead, Umbrella decided to delve into making bioweapons that turn people into zombies.
* EvilInc: One of the most famous in all of fiction. A perfect example was their response to the T-Virus outbreak, where they sent their forces in not primarily to rescue survivors (although the U.B.C.S. was doing just that) but instead to secure any evidence of them being at fault and using it as a prime opportunity to test their "products."
* ItIsDehumanizing: Refers to Louise exclusively as "Subject Zero," study her for her magic which, prior to her arrival to Raccoon City, had never been observed. Before the Outbreak, they were content with gathering small samples under the guise of routine medical procedures. Once the Outbreak begins, they decide to use the opportunity to outright kidnap her for more direct and unobstructed experimentation.
* MegaCorp: The Umbrella Corporation, over the span of decades, amassed large quantities of wealth and power, coming to effectively dominate the pharmaceutical industry. After an economic crisis nearly brought Raccoon City into bankruptcy, Umbrella used their favorable position to bail the city out in exchange for effectively controlling the city's infrastructure, including utilities, media, emergency services, and eventually both city hall and law enforcement. By the time the T-Virus Outbreak begins, they effectively ''control'' Raccoon City, with only a handful of people aware of the truth.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: Before the T-Virus Outbreak, Umbrella was held in high esteem by the residents of Raccoon City. Saito even defended them when Louise expressed skepticism over how much control they seemed to have over the city itself. [[spoiler: That reputation is completely destroyed following the T-Virus spreading across the city, with the survivors and US Government blaming them for everything and causing the company to go into damage control mode.]]

[[folder: Dr. William Birkin]]
Formerly of the top scientists of the Umbrella Corporation, and the creator of the G-Virus, Dr. William Birkin worked for Umbrella for decades, being a major contributor to the development of the T-Virus. But, after his contributions to the company were ignored one too many times, he attempted to betray the company and sell his creation to an outside party. When Umbrella caught wind of his treachery, their attempt to apprehend him would result in him getting mortally wounded, forcing him to inject himself with a sample of the G-Virus to save his life. This decision set into motion a chain of events that would see him transform into an inhuman monster known as G and bring about the downfall of Raccoon City to his creations. Saito and Louise, while attempting to escape Raccoon City through the sewers, accidentally come across him, forcing them to run for their lives while Birkin pursues.

* AdaptiveAbility: His G-Virus infection grants him immense regenerative abilities. Despite being shot in the head by Saito in an attempt to put him out of his misery, his wound healed in a matter of seconds.
* AdmiringTheAbomination: Was fascinated and obsessed with his creation, the G-Virus.
* AssholeVictim: While he certainly did not deserve the fate he received, Dr. Birkin was instrumental in the research and development of both the T-Virus and the G-Virus, two of the deadliest bioweapons mankind has ever created, along with all sorts of unethical experiments the Umbrella Corporation conducted.
* AxCrazy: The G-Virus has completely warped Birkin's mind, making him attack and try to kill anyone he comes across.
* BodyHorror: The G-Virus has warped and mutated his body to a horrifying degree, making him resemble something out of Film/TheThing1982.
* CarryABigStick: Walks around with a massive pipe that he ripped out of the wall he uses as a club.
* FightingFromTheInside: Part of Birkin is still inside when he's infected by the G-Virus and he attempts to both stop himself and beg for a MercyKill. Unfortunately, his attempts at control are fleeting, at best.
* EvilutionaryBiologist: Helped create the T-Virus and created the G-Virus himself.
* EyesDoNotBelongThere: In his G-1 form, he has a massive eye on his right shoulder. It being open is an indication that he is no longer in control of his body.
* GrandTheftMe: The G-Virus has done this to him, turning Birkin into an animalistic monster.
* HealingFactor: Capable of healing from several bullet wounds in his chest and even a headshot like they were nothing.
* HeroicWillpower: While Birkin pre-infection was far from heroic, whenever he does manages to regain control of his body post-infection he uses it to try and prevent himself from hurting anyone else, such as Saito and Louise.
* LaserGuidedKarma: Dr. Birkin was responsible for the destruction of dozens, if not hundreds of lives prior to his defection from Umbrella, relishing in his "achievements", only to be shot, left for dead, and forced to turn himself into a monster where he's trapped in a cycle of endless pain and suffering.
* LastNameBasis: On account of Saito and Louise not knowing his first name, they exclusively refer to him as Birkin.
* MadScientist: Par for the course for the Umbrella Corporation.
* NighInvulnerability: Thanks to his HealingFactor and bulk, courtesy of the G-Virus, Birkin is nearly indestructible to small-arms fire. He was able to completely destroy U.S.S. Alpha Team despite being subjected to copious amounts of firepower, and not even a headshot from Saito's pistol could put him down.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: First thing Birkin did after infecting himself with the G-Virus was to hunt down Alpha Team for both shooting him and stealing his G-Virus. Unfortunately, by the time he got to them, he was no longer Birkin.
* SplitPersonalityTakeover: The G-Virus completely unbalanced himself, resulting in Birkin developing a SplitPersonality: the intelligent Dr. Birkin and the monstrously violent G. Most of the time, G is in control of his body and its grasp only increases with each passing moment.
* WasOnceAMan: Before getting infected with the G-Virus, Birkin was just a normal middle-aged man.
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: He wasn't the most stable person to begin with, but getting infected with the G-Virus made it much, much worse.

!!!Umbrella Security Service
[[folder: General]]
The elite paramilitary forces unit employed by the Umbrella Corporation, the U.S.S. is tasked with carrying out their most vital and clandestine operations. They are highly trained, well-armed, and extremely dangerous to anyone who gets in the way of their mission.

* CanonForeigner: Played with. While the Umbrella Security Service as a whole is certainly canonical, the members of U.S.S. Delta Team, aka Wolfpack, hail from the non-canon game ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilOperationRaccoonCity'' instead of a canonical entry.
* CodeName: All U.S.S. operators are assigned one, and when on the field it is policy to exclusively call each other by their code names. This is both out of a sense of operational security, as well as foster feelings of detachment towards their squadmates should they be killed while in the line of duty.
* EliteMooks: They are given the best gear and best training of any mercenary employed by Umbrella.
* GasMaskMook: Part of their standard kit in order to protect the wearer from potential infection.

[[folder: Karena LesProux '''(LUPO)''']]
Former GIGN operative and the squad leader of U.S.S. Delta Team, aka Wolfpack, LUPO is the most psychologically stable of the team. She is still a ruthless mercenary hellbent on capturing Louise, both for a massive payday and to ensure that they can get out of the Hell that is Raccoon City.

* AFatherToHisMen: Places the health and security of her team above anything else.
** LUPO: You know the order of importance: survival, the mission, ''then'' pride. That's what's kept us alive all these years, and I won't let a sixteen-year-old girl mess that up.
* MamaBear: Fiercely protective of her team, desiring to keep them alive above all else.
* PunchClockVillain: Is simply going after Louise and Saito because that is her current job. She holds no real satisfaction in doing so.
* WouldHurtAChild: Despite being a parent herself, LUPO is perfectly willing to kidnap Louise. Not out of actual malice, but simply because it is her job. Later, the added motivation of Louise's capture likely being their ticket out of Raccoon City further drives her pursuit. [[spoiler: She openly admits that she would love to follow BERTHA's suggestion of outright abandoning their pursuit of Louise once she and Saito flee into the sewers, but it is only the knowledge that, without Louise, Umbrella is unlikely to extract them that makes her stay the course.]]

[[folder: Vladimir Bodrovski '''(SPECTRE)''']]
The closest thing to a second-in-command behind LUPO, SPECTRE is a former FSB agent and currently serves as Delta Team's sniper and marksman. He is an excellent shot and consummate professional, dedicated to fulfilling his job while getting him and his team out alive.

* ColdSniper: Is the team's marksman, and tends to be emotionally detached while on the field.
* GogglesDoSomethingUnusual: In addition to helping him aim his rifle at long range without a scope, SPECTRE's goggles grant him thermal imaging capabilities and night-vision.
* PunchClockVillain: Holds no real animosity towards Louise and Saito, simply trying to apprehend them both because it is his job and because doing so is the only way to get out of the city.
* WouldHurtAChild: Perfectly willing to kidnap Louise and hand her over to Umbrella, who would doubtlessly conduct horrific experiments on her, simply to get paid.

[[folder: Christine Yamata '''(FOUR EYES)''']]
Delta Team's field scientist, FOUR EYES is tasked with securing valuable battlefield intelligence data on B.O.W.s, relaying that information back to the company for further analysis as well as to satiate her own intense curiosity.

* AsianAndNerdy: Is Japanese-American and the most scientifically literate on the team.
* TheBeastMaster: Can use grenades filled with pheremones to attract zombies and B.O.W.s to specific areas or attack targets. She cannot, however, prevent them from attacking her and her teammates.
* LackOfEmpathy: Displays little to no empathy for Umbrella's victims.
* PunchClockVillain: Holds no real animosity towards Louise and Saito, simply trying to apprehend them both because it is her job and because doing so is the only way to get out of the city.
* WouldHurtAChild: Perfectly willing to kidnap Louise and hand her over to Umbrella, who would doubtlessly conduct horrific experiments on her, simply to get paid.

[[folder: '''VECTOR''']]
Delta Team's stealth operator and one of their more effective frontline combatants, VECTOR is a highly skilled and mildly sociopathic mercenary trained directly by the Umbrella Corporation itself.

* ClickHello: Tends to do this when coming out of cloak.
* InTheHood: Wears a hood over his combat uniform.
* InvisibilityCloak: His armor is covered in photoreactive panels that can turn him invisible.
* KnownOnlyByTheirNickname: Unlike the others, he does not have a given name, exclusively being referred to by his code name.
* PunchClockVillain: While the most openly loyal member of the team towards the Umbrella Corporation, mostly in terms of getting the job done, ultimately he only holds real loyalty to himself. The only reason why he initially goes after Louise is because he was paid to do so, initially finding no real enjoyment in it and finding the task somewhat beneath him. After Lousie and Saito put them through hell during their escape, however, those feelings subside.
* WouldHurtAChild: The most willing of the team to actively fight and harm Saito and Louise, nearly giving Louise a concussion during their first encounter and beating Saito to near death in the Raccoon City Mall.

[[folder: Michaela Schneider '''(BERTHA)''']]
Formerly a German military doctor, BERTHA now serves as Delta Team's field medic and is tasked with both keeping her teammates in the fight for as long as possible as well as staving off possible T-Virus infection. She is, however, just as proficient in causing pain as she is in treating it.

* BattleaxeNurse: While she is completely devoted towards keeping her teammates alive, BERTHA has no such qualms against inflicting grievous bodily harm to her enemies. In fact, she revels in it.
* HerrDoktor: Is a German doctor, complete with a thick accent.
* PunchClockVillain: Holds no real loyalty towards Umbrella and is simply going after Louise and Saito because she is getting paid to do so. [[spoiler: That being said, when Louise and Saito flee into the sewers, she does suggest lying to Umbrella and saying that they lost them. Not out a desire to protect the children, rather because she ''knows'' the kind of horrors calling the sewers home and does not want any part of it.]]
* WouldHurtAChild: Perfectly willing to kidnap Louise and hand her over to Umbrella, who would doubtlessly conduct horrific experiments on her, simply to get paid.

[[folder: Hector Hivers '''(BELTWAY)''']]
A dishonorably discharged US soldier, BELTWAY's prediliction towards destruction led him to Umbrella, whom he now serves as Delta Team's demotion expert.

* ArtificialLimbs: His left leg is a prosthetic, the result of an explosion gone wrong.
* BadassBandolier: Wears a grenade belt filled with high explosives.
* TheBrute: Somewhat of a subversion. While BELTWAY is the largest and most physically imposing of the team, he's by far the most professional out of all of them, second only to LUPO and SPECTRE. He's also able to keep his emotions in check far more than VECTOR.
* PunchClockVillain: While all of Delta Team sees their service with Umbrella in this manner, BELTWAY is the most open about it. He holds no real animosity towards Louise during their pursuit of her, and while he does gain some animosity towards her after, among other things, getting blown up by her, he's mostly able to keep his emotions in check.
* WouldHurtAChild: Despite finding no real enjoyment in it, BELTWAY is perfectly willing to kidnap Louise and hand her over to Umbrella for experimentation so that he can both get handsomely paid and extracted out of Raccoon City.

[[folder: '''HUNK''']]
Also known as Mr. Death, HUNK is Umbrella's Number 1 operative. Leader of the ill-fated Alpha Team sent to retrieve the G-Virus and Dr. William Birkin, Saito and Louise briefly encounter him in the sewers beneath Raccoon City, battling his way through zombies and B.O.W.s to retrieve the remaining samples of the G-Virus after his team was wiped out by an infected Birkin.

* TheAce: Easily Umbrella's best non-SuperSoldier operative, and it shows in his brief appearance.
* BadassNormal: Due to possessing no biological augmentations or magic of any kind, HUNK definitely qualifies for this.
* TheCameo: Hunk has (so far) only appeared briefly in the story, fighting through a swarm of Zombies single-handily to retrieve an intact sample of the G-Virus, and only notices Saito and Louise once he's achieved his objective, themselves only having run into him by accident. Luckily for them, HUNK is either unaware and/or uncaring of Umbrella's plans to capture and experiment upon Louise, only wanting to finish the mission that got his team killed and get out. So, while being bemused and wary of the two teenagers who've stumbled into his path, Hunk simply backs away and begins finding his way out of the sewers. For their part, Saito and Louise wisely choose not to engage after seeing his display of strength and skill.
* {{Determinator}}: Despite barely surviving the encounter with Birkin that killed his team and having played witness to the T-Virus Infestation of Raccoon City since its earliest stages, and therefore having encountered every zombified creature and freed Bio-Organic-Weapon let loose in the sewers, HUNK remains undaunted in his mission to acquire the last sample of the G-Virus.
* OneManArmy: HUNK is just one man, having neither been blessed with magic nor biologically augmented, and he managed to survive the better part of a week in the sewers of Raccoon City(arguably the most dangerous area of the city following the release of the T-Virus), and still accomplish his mission while simultaneously fighting his way through a horde of zombies, and dodging Birkin as well. Saito and Louise are stupefied and terrified at the sight of this man-monster before them, and [[WordOfGod TRESTWHO says it best:]]
--> HUNK is an RE Protagonist-level combatant working for the villains. Even if [[InstantExpert Saito]] and [[PoweroftheVoid Louise]] had their full arsenal/powers on hand, they'd be hard pressed to take the guy out. He's that badass.

!United States Government
[[folder: General]]
The government of the United States of America, the country which Racoon City calls home. When the T-Virus is unleashed upon Racoon City, they quarantine Arklay County and send in Special Forces teams to gather evidence of Umbrella's involvement in the incident and evacuate survivors.

* BigGood: Played with; while the USA certainly has its share of skeletons in its closet, as with real life, they are firmly dedicated to saving lives, stopping the spread of the disease, and bringing the Umbrella Corporation to justice.
* QuarantineWithExtremePrejudice: The US Army has been deployed in force to keep the zombies from escaping from Arklay County into the rest of the country, [[spoiler: and, as per canon, [[ItsTheOnlyWayToBeSure are preparing to hit the city with a prototype thermobaric bomb]].]]
** Though it is important to note that their version of the quarantine is considerably more humane than most traditional examples; another objective for the Special Forces being sent into Racoon City is to locate survivors and direct them towards fortified evacuation sites (or directly evacuate them out in the case of witnesses against Umbrella; such as Saito and Louise) to help them escape.

!!!Echo Six
[[folder: General]]
A U.S. Special Forces team sent into Raccoon City to both rescue survivors and obtain evidence linking Umbrella to the T-Virus outbreak. After a chance encounter with Saito and Louise, they prove to be instrumental towards the teenagers finding a way out of the city with their lives.

* CanonForeigner: Like Delta Team, Echo Six hails from the non-canon game ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilOperationRaccoonCity'' instead of a canonical entry.
* CodeName: Each member of Echo Six has a callsign that they use. In contrast to the U.S.S. though, who make it a point to only refer to each other as their codenames, Echo Six use each other's names openly and frequently.
* GoodCounterpart: Each member of Echo Six corresponds to a member of U.S.S. Delta Team and are completely heroic. This is proven when they encounter Saito and Louise, immediately attempting to evacuate them then, when Delta Team attacks their position, provides covering fire to allow the teenagers to escape.
* HelmetsAreHardlyHeroic: In sharp contrast to the U.S.S., all of whom wear various pieces of headgear that cover part or their entire face, the members of Echo Six leave their faces open and exposed.

[[folder: Captain Crispin Jettingham '''(DEE-AY)''']]
The leader of Echo Six, Captain Jettingham is a model soldier. Extremely skilled and a competent military commander, he prioritizes above all else the safety of his team and civilians alongside completing his mission.

* TheAce: One of, if not the, most skilled combatants in Echo Six.
* TheCaptain: Leads Echo Six firmly and dutifully, earning the respect and admiration of his entire team in the process whom all would be willing to follow him into Hell and back.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Has a small scar right below his right eye, but is a firmly heroic man.
* TheLeader: A levelheaded and very experienced one.
* NervesOfSteel: Even when trapped in the utter hell that is Raccoon City, Captain Jettingham is more than able to keep his cool. It literally takes a literal Tyrant arriving in the middle of a firefight between Echo Six and Delta Team for him to even begin to lose his composure.
* OhCrap: Lets out one when a Tyrant descends upon him while completely shrugging off the hail of gunfire sent its way.
* StraightGay: While he doesn't openly show it, Jettingham's codename of DEE-AY is a shorthard for Don't Ask, itself a reference to the infamous U.S. Military policy Don't Ask, Don't Tell.

[[folder: Lieutenant Caroline Floyd '''(WILLOW)''')]]
Growing up in Crow Indian Reservation in Montana, Lieutenant Caroline "WILLOW" Floyd was afforded ample opportunities to develop her skills in speed and elusion. She used those skills to great effect once she enlisted in the U.S. military straight out of high school, eventually landing a position in Echo Six as their recon specialist and their second-in-command.

* InjunCountry: Grew up in the Crow Indian Reservation in Montana, where she learned much of the skills she eventually employed in her military career.
* ThePerfectionist: As a result of growing up in extremely harsh conditions, where one mistake could mean the difference between life and death, WILLOW constantly practices her skills to keep them as sharp as she possibly could.

[[folder: Sergeant Erez Morris '''(HARLEY)''']]
Sergeant Erez Morris used to be nothing more than a foul-mouthed member of a notorious biker gang. Forced to go into military service in order to avoid jail time, he found his calling as a medic while serving in Operation DESERT STORM. He now serves as Echo Six' medical officer, patching up both his teammates and any civilians they find on the field with tenderness and grace.

* BadassBiker: He used to be, and has the tattoos all over his body and face to prove it.
* TheBigGuy: Physically the most imposing member of Echo Six, but also the gentlest.
* CombatMedic: Serves as Echo Six's medical officer, but is just as willing to throw down with the rest of them.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Was forced to join the military in order to avoid going to jail. Turned out to be the best decision he ever made.
* HiddenDepths: You wouldn't tell based off his appearance, but the muscular and heavily tattooed Sergeant Morris is one of the best field medics in the entire U.S. military.
* TheNiceGuy: Is the gentlest member of Echo Six, in spite of his intimidating appearance, as evidenced as he was the first to point out that Saito and Louise had just been through an incredibly traumatic experience, and they could ask questions about why Umbrella is after them once they've been safely extracted.
* NoOneGetsLeftBehind: A philosophy he firmly believes in and dedicates himself to as a result of his service in the Gulf War.
* SirSwearsALot: Tends to curse a lot in combat, harkening back to his biker days.
* TradingBarsForStripes: Chose to enlist in the Army instead of going to jail.

[[folder: Sergeant Marisa Ronson '''(TWEED)''']]
A former member of the British Secret Intelligence Service, Sergeant Marisa Ronson thought her career as a demolitions expert was over following an injury sustained while on the job. Instead, she was sought out by the U.S. Army to join them instead due to her expertise, where she eventually became the demolitions expert of Echo Six.

* BoisterousBruiser: Has a very loud and strong personality that tends to seep into her actions, both in and out of combat.
* CareerEndingInjury: Suffered one that forced her out of the SIS before being recruited by the U.S. Army.
* SmallGirlBigGun: Carries a light-machine gun in combat despite having a very stout frame.

[[folder: Sergeant Lawrence Kimbala '''(SHONA)''']]
A native to Zimbabwe, Sergeant Lawrence Kimbala was exposed to the harmful and deadly effects of disease from a young age. When his father passed way, he enrolled in Harvard Medical School where he developed a talent for controlling viruses. This talent served him well when he eventually joined the Army's special weapons program as an expert in virology, eventually becoming Echo Six's field scientist.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: Grew up in the war-torn nation of Zimbabwe and is covered in scars.
* EyeScream: Is blind in his right eye following an injury that left a large scar across it.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Has plenty of them, particularly across his head.
* PlayingWithSyringes: Stores plenty of them on his person in order to take samples of any infected creature he comes across, a task he takes to with pleasure.
* TokenEvilTeammate: While he still is ultimately a goodhearted and heroic individual, he is still the most amoral member of Echo Six.

[[folder: Sergeant Sienna Fowler '''(PARTY GIRL)''']]
At one point, Sergeant Sienna Fowler was known as the organizer for several and frequent wild parties that top businessmen and public officials happily attended. It was during these parties that Fowler would record incriminating behavior and information, which she would then sell to the highest bidder. It was during one of these parties that she fooled one of the top surveilance experts for the U.S. Federal Government, which landed her a job rather than a prison sentence.
