History Characters / ResidentEvil6

* BaldOfAwesome: Not ''totally'' bald but it's shaven pretty close, and he's a [[DeadpanSnarker sarcastic]], genuinely {{Badass}} AntiHero.

* DistressedDude: Despite his {{badass}}ery and powers, he is captured twice during the game: once by [[spoiler: Carla pretending to be]] Ada and a second time by Neo-Umbrella.

** FinalBoss: For Jake and Sherry.

* HealingFactor: Subverted; despite being a C-virus B.O.W., it lacks even conventional healing ability. Six months later, it still sports the wounds Jake and Sherry gave it with a mining drill. A file mentions the C-Virus didn't even regenerate its lost right arm prior, prompting ArtificialLimbs to compensate.

** BigBadEnsemble: Arguably. She's definitely the BigBad of Chris' and Jake's campaigns, while [[spoiler:Simmons]] is more prominent in Leon's. Both have roughly the same relevance to Ada's. It's worthy to say that both villains are as much against each other as they are against the heroes. Carla is more identified as the overall BigBad because she's the one who leads Neo-Umbrella, is responsible for the whole chaos (which ends up affecting even Leon's campaign) and the game's EvilPlan is hers.

* [[spoiler:CloningBlues: She thinks she's the real Ada Wong.]]

* PetTheDog: [[spoiler:According to one file, Carla is mentioned to be nice towards the Ustanak, to the point of being motherly.]]

* [[spoiler:VillainousBreakdown]]:[[spoiler:"Get over yourself...help me...I'm the real Ada Wong. I don't need help from anyone. My plans aren't failing...they're thriving. And soon...this world shall..and this society...will collapse. After that, the only thing that will be left of this world....nothing! Hell will rise and chaos will reigh! And I, Ada Wong, will be ''Queen'' of the new world! *Cue OneWingedAngel and BlobMonster transformation*]]

* MasterOfTheMixedMessage: Leon flirts with Helena, and she's vaguely receptive, and they've stayed by each other through armageddon, and when Leon arrives at the last minute to reveal that she's not going to jail, she responds by...giving Leon and Ada her blessing. Leon's face is priceless ("Women...").

A young BSAA operative serving under Special Operations Unit Alpha Team, and Chris's partner in ''[=RE6=]''.

* EarlyBirdCameo: First appeared in the preview chapter of serialised manga ''BIOHAZARD: Marhawa Desire'', in September 2011.

* [[spoiler:{{Hypocrite}}: Ada/Carla describes the late Albert Wesker as a "colossal imbecile" for his attempts to destroy the world with bioterrorism, yet she is doing the exact same thing; right down to loading missiles with her virus, and rambling on about being Queen of the new world.]]

The mysterious third protagonist of ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil6''. Coming from a poverty-stricken family in Edonia, Jake turned became a mercenary in order to afford medical treatment for his chronically ill mother, [[ShaggyDogStory who died shortly thereafter]]. Left alone in the world, he turned his only concern into money. His life comes to a turning point when he meets [[Characters/ResidentEvil2 Sherry Birkin]], who claims he's the world's best hope of salvation -- and learns his father, who left his pregnant mother, was no other than [[Characters/ResidentEvil Albert Wesker]].

The mysterious third protagonist of ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil6''. Acting as a mercenary in war-torn Eastern Europe, he's apparently told that he's the "the man to save the world". Has been seen running around with [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil2 Sherry Birkin]], but other than this, as well as his being Wesker's child, almost nothing is known about him.

[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/250px-Jakemuller_6005.png]]

* '''{{Determinator}}''': Just like his [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil3Nemesis predecessor]], he doesn't know when or how to quit. Once you have been targeted you are as good as dead, unless you are a BadAss like our heroes/heroines.

* WhyWontYouDie: Ada asks this about it after the second encounter with Jake and Sherry.
** [[spoiler: Seriously it has a number of things falls on it, gets blown up multiple times, got a freaking drill pushed into it. Even knocking it into the lava doesn't fully kill the thing. He has enough strength to chase after Sherry and Jake on a transport shuttle ''going Zero-G''. It finally went down after the duo put a magnum round into it's exposed heart.]]

* TheScrappy: Some do not approve of his appearance in general due to being a co-op partner in Ada's campaign, the only campaign that you initially had to unlock by beating the first three campaign modes, and was single player only.

** BigBadEnsemble: Arguably. She's definitely the BigBad of Chris' and Jake's campaigns, while [[spoiler:Simmons]] is more proeminent in Leon's. Both have roughly the same relevance to Ada's. It's worthy to say that both villains are as much against each other as they are against the heroes. Carla is more identified as the overall BigBad because she's the one who leads Neo-Umbrella, is responsible for the whole chaos (which ends up affecting even Leon's campaign) and the game's EvilPlan is hers.

* [[spoiler:BigBad: Of ''6''... until [[TheStarscream he's betrayed]].]]

** BigBadEnsemble: Arguably. She's definitely the BigBad of Chris' and Jake's campaigns, while [[spoiler:Simmons]] is more proeminent in Leon's. Both have roughly the same relevance to Ada's. It's worthy to say that both villains are as much against each other as they are against the heroes. Carla is more identified as the overall BigBad because she's the one who leads Neo-Umbrella, is responsible for the whole chaos and the game's EvilPlan is hers.

The mysterious founder and leader of Neo-Umbrella. [[spoiler:She was transformed against her will into a clone of Ada Wong by Simmons through the use of the C-Virus. Though she was brainwashed for a time into believing that she was the original Ada, she later discovers the truth and turned against Simmons, both for his possessive attitude towards her and out of revenge for putting her through the C-Virus experimentation. As part of her rebellion, she secretly plots to unravel his plans and plunge the world into chaos]].

** [[spoiler:Played with. She's later thought to be TheDragon... then revealed to be TheStarscream, going back to BigBad.]]
** [[spoiler:DragonWithAnAgenda: She's out to destroy the world and ruin her former boss, Simmons.]]

-->''"I want 200,000 up-front, another 200 when this is over... oh, and B.O.W.s? Those are extra."''

The mysterious third protagonist of ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil6''. Acting as a mercenary in war-torn Eastern Europe, he's apparently told that he's the "the man to save the world". Has been seen running around with [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil2 Sherry Birkin]], but other than this, as well as his being Wesker's child, almost nothing is known about him.

* [[spoiler: AdoptTheDog: Slowly starts to care, until he's genuinely trying to help Sherry save the world instead of just doing it for the money.]]
* ActionGenreHeroGuy: Has the appearance of one.
* AntiHero: Initially a [[SlidingScaleOfAntiHeroes Type IV]]; he's much more concerned about how much money he could earn with his blood rather than saving the world, [[spoiler: but by the end of the game he graduates to a Type II, becoming a much more heroic and self-sacrificing character.]]
* BadassAbnormal: Just like his father, he possesses superhuman strength, agility, and endurance. It's never specified if those are his natural abilities or he gained them when he injected himself with the C-Virus.
* BadassBiker
* BadassInDistress: He gets captured twice. He mostly rescues himself the first time, though it took him six months, but the second time he only managed it with outside help.
* BaldOfAwesome: Not ''totally'' bald but it's shaven pretty close, and he's a [[DeadpanSnarker sarcastic]], genuinely {{Badass}} AntiHero.
* BloodKnight: At first, it seems that Jake's jokes, taunts, and boasting might just be bravado on his part. But it eventually becomes clear that he means what he says, and he really is having fun fighting zombie hordes. He refers to the RecurringBoss [[NightmareFuel Ustanak]] as his personal punching bag without irony, after about the fourth time that it came within a hairs-breath of killing him and Sherry.
* [[spoiler:CoolShades: In his epilogue. Just like his daddy.]]
* ChekhovsGunman: His C-virus antibodies, in which Carla Radames uses to make the C-virus more potent.
* ChildSoldier: Began his work as a mercenary when he was still a young teenager to support his mother.
* ComicallySmallBribe: [[spoiler: His scenario's ending has him sending a text message to Sherry that he's dropped his price for his blood to 50 dollars. He goes even further in the secret ending, where he's seen taking an apple as payment from a kid for getting rid of some B.O.W.s. It's a pre-arranged price, too.]]
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Some of the things he’s done as a mercenary weigh pretty heavily on his conscience, causing him to speculate bitterly about what traits he might have inherited from his newly-discovered father.
* DeadpanSnarker: Potentially one of the snarkiest characters of the series.
* DistressedDude: Despite his {{badass}}ery and powers, he is captured twice during the game: once by [[spoiler: Carla pretending to be]] Ada and a second time by Neo-Umbrella.
* [[EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas Even Anti-Heroes Love Their Mamas]]: One of his main motivations for becoming a mercenary was to provide for his mother.
* FreudianExcuse: His fixation on money is more understandable once you learn that he was raised in poverty by a chronically ill mother, with no father in the picture, and became a mercenary at no more than fifteen to try and earn the money to treat her illness, only for her to die of it soon after. Then when he was seventeen, one of his trainers became a father-figure to him only to sell out the whole unit for money, getting all but two of them killed.
* GoodOldFisticuffs: While his gameplay is similar to the other characters, his melee is faster, stronger, and can combo and he has powerful counters. Throw in limited ammo and do the math.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Sports a long, straight one down the cheek.
* HaveWeMet: Said by Chris in the Captivate trailer. Not surprising, considering Jake's parentage and Chris's antagonistic relationship with Albert Wesker.
* HeroicBastard
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: He's got about a good foot taller than Sherry, despite being about several years younger than her.
* IAmNotMyFather: Deciding this is an important turning point for him.
--> '''Jake:''': "You know what? I'm not my father. [[spoiler: And I'm gonna make damn sure it stays that way.]]"
* TheImmune: Immune to the C-Virus, and also his blood is its cure. Unfortunately, Neo Umbrella wants his blood so they can make the C-Virus stronger.
* InTheBlood: He questions if "crazy doesn't run in the family" after finding out his parentage, but he ultimately has little in common with Albert Wesker.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite his snarky behavior, Jake does seem to care for Sherry over time. [[spoiler: He also changes his price from 50 million to 50 dollars.]]
* LamarckWasRight: Despite the fact that they've never met, some of the attacks he uses resemble those used by his father, such as the way he drops one shoulder and rushes an enemy. Possibly partly justified by them having the same superhuman strength and agility.
* LightningBruiser: Although not to the same extent as Wesker, Jake is incredibly strong and agile despite being only 20 years old. He is the only playable character who has hand-to-hand melee instead of a knife. His melee is also faster, stronger, has powerful counters, and is the only one that can combo. [[spoiler: He is also strong and fast enough to dodge and trade blows with 20 ft-tall fellow LightningBruiser Ustanak.]]
* LukeIAmYourFather: He is Albert Wesker's illegitimate son.
* [[MacGuffinGirl MacGuffin Guy]]: His blood is the reason why everybody's after him.
* TheNicknamer: Calls Sherry "super girl" and the BSAA "boy scouts".
* NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent: Jake has what is definitely an American accent, but he was born and raised in east Europe. Some of the things he says even indicate that he's never been to the US!
* NotSoDifferent: To his father, Wesker, despite his IAmNotMyFather. Downplayed, as this ultimately doesn't apply to personality. Both have fighting styles which resemble each other despite having never met each other. And of course, Jake [[spoiler: later adopts CoolShades just as dark as his father's.]]
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: One of his dominant character traits, and the trait focused on by the reveal trailer, is his fixation on money. This is explained in his story, as Jake took up a job of being a merc to provide for his mom since Wesker abandoned the family.
-->''"Well the world can have [my blood], as long as someone ponies up the dough."''
* ParentalAbandonment: Wesker abandoned an Eastern European woman before he was born. This may factor into how Jake is nothing like Mr. Wesker at all.
* ShaggyDogStory: His backstory. His mother was chronically ill with something curable, but they barely had the money for basic expenses, never mind treatment. To get the needed money, he became a mercenary, but his mother died soon after, leaving him with money but no mother.
* ShipTease: ''Lots'' of it with Sherry.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Chris seems to recognize something of Wesker in him in their first meeting, even asking if they've met before, and later tells him that he can see his father in him.
* TroubledButCute: His poverty-stricken childhood and the bad experiences he's had as a mercenary have left him with some serious issues, even though he's barely out of his teens, but Sherry (and a sizable number of female fans) still seems to be attracted to him.
* [[spoiler: WalkingShirtlessScene: Spends a good portion of the game in nothing more than hospital pants.]]
* YoungerThanTheyLook: Jake is only 20 years old, despite appearances. This also makes him the second youngest protagonist in the franchise, after Rebecca Chambers.
[[/folder]]

* FeaturelessProtagonist: He has no place in the story at all. He IS just as capable in combat as all the other characters though. TakenUpToEleven in that combat and assisting his partner is the ONLY thing he is allowed to do.

** Fortunately, he can be excluded entirely by playing the game solo.

* GenericGuy: Has no place in the story whatsoever. He is still useful in some way though.

* '''{{Determinator}}''': Just like his [[ResidentEvil3 predecessor]], he doesn't know when or how to quit. Once you have been targeted you are as good as dead, unless you are a BadAss like our heroes/heroines.
