* HateSink: From the moment he is introduced, fans are itching to put a bullet through his head. [[spoiler:For starters, Raccoon City being [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil3Nemesis nuked off the face of the Earth]] was ''his'' decision, and he does everything in his power to ensure that the truth behind said nuking and the outbreak never comes out, up to and including recreating the incident by unleashing the C-Virus on the innocent community of Tall Oaks and nuking it as well just to prevent the President from exposing it; this costs the lives of at least ''70,000 people''. In doing so, he held Helena Harper's younger sister Deborah hostage to force her to help him carry out the Tall Oaks incident, promising to let her go if Helena did as he said... only to go back on his word and use Deborah as a lab rat for the C-Virus, turning her into a monster that has to be put down, and then arrange events so that both Leon and Helena [[TheScapegoat take the fall]]. He was Sherry Birkin's main parental figure for most of her life, locking her up for eleven years so his private research team could study the G-Virus in her blood and viewing her as nothing but a pawn. He also has a [[StalkerWithACrush creepy obsession]] with Ada Wong, going so far as to experiment on 12,235 women just to turn them into [[CloneByConversion an Ada]] [[RetargetedLust he can have for himself]]; the success, Carla Radames, is the BigBad of the game, with everything she does being payback at Simmons for using her in such a manner, making Simmons responsible for effectively ''every bad thing that happens in the game''. He's so horrible that Carla arranges for him to be infected with the C-Virus [[EvilMakesYouMonstrous specifically to make him a monster both inside]] ''[[EvilMakesYouMonstrous and]]'' [[EvilMakesYouMonstrous out]].]]

!!United States Goverment

[[folder:Derek C. Simmons]]
[[quoteright:275:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/simmons_dc.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/{{David Lodge|AmericanActor}}, Creator/TakayukiSugo (Japanese)

The US National Security Advisor, and an expert on bio-terrorism.

* AbusiveParents: He becomes this to Sherry, who he adopted after the end of ''Resident Evil 2''. He has her locked up in his home for eleven years so his private research team can study the G-Virus in her blood.
* AncientConspiracy: He is the leader of an organization known as The Family that was founded centuries ago, at least before the American Revolutionary War.
* ArcVillain: Of Leon's campaign.
* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:His death is well deserved.]]
* AxCrazy: [[spoiler:When he is infected with the C-Virus, his behavior spirals down to fluctuating between his {{Yandere}} feelings for Ada and UnstoppableRage.]]
* BeardOfEvil: A well-groomed one.
* BigBadWannabe: [[spoiler:He thinks he's in control of everything, yet his focus is limited — Carla is the one who founded Neo-Umbrella and leads it, all of the J'avo belong to her, and she's even able to infect Simmons with a powerful dose of C-Virus. OutGambitted indeed.]]
* BodyHorror: [[spoiler: His 'human' form doesn't look too bad, beyond the huge lesions and cracks in his body, but then he starts shifting his flesh around like some kind of demented biological Rubik's cube (giving us a charming view of his insides) as he turns into a series of increasingly-monstrous forms. His second form in particular takes the cake, looking like a centaur with most of his spine, internal organs, and head sitting exposed on top of a dog-like body like a snake standing on its tail.]] ''Holy shit.''
* CerebusRetcon: He's the reason Raccoon City was nuked off the map. This one action is why Ada refuses to associate with him. Originally, it was the U.S. President who issued the contingency plan to sterilize Raccoon City. The President did take the fall for it, as ''Degeneration'' showed him being forced to resign from office from the public backlash.
* DisneyVillainDeath: [[spoiler:Which leads to him getting ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice.]]
* EvilChancellor: He's the President's aide, and current leader of "the Family".
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: And he never will. He finds Sherry's "overly-kind and ultimately naive, charitable nature" disgusting.
* EvilMakesYouMonstrous: [[spoiler:Carla has him infected with this in mind, taunting him over the phone that, with his infection, he's becoming the monster he always was. And boy howdy, does he end up weird, even by B.O.W. standards!]]
* FinalBoss: [[spoiler:For Leon and Ada in their respective campaigns.]]
* FliesEqualsEvil: [[spoiler:His final boss form.]]
* HannibalLecture: Attempts one on Leon and Helena, to [[ShutUpHannibal little avail]]:
-->'''Simmons:''' "You... have ''no idea''... what would happen if I ''die''!!\\
'''Leon:''' "The world will be a better place!"
* HateSink: From the moment he is introduced, fans are itching to put a bullet through his head. [[spoiler:For starters, Raccoon City being [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil3Nemesis nuked off the face of the Earth]] was ''his'' decision, and he does everything in his power to ensure that the truth behind said nuking and the outbreak never comes out, up to and including recreating the incident by unleashing the C-Virus on the innocent community of Tall Oaks and nuking it as well just to prevent the President from exposing it; this costs the lives of at least ''70,000 people''. In doing so, he held Helena Harper's younger sister Deborah hostage to force her to help him carry out the Tall Oaks incident, promising to let her go if Helena did as he said... only to go back on his word and use Deborah as a lab rat for the C-Virus, turning her into a monster that has to be put down, and then arrange events so that both Leon and Helena [[TheScapegoat take the fall]]. He was Sherry Birkin's main parental figure for most of her life, locking her up for eleven years so his private research team could study the G-Virus in her blood and viewing her as nothing but a pawn. He also has a [[StalkerWithACrush creepy obsession]] with Ada Wong, going so far as to experiment on 12,235 women just to turn them into [[CloneByConversion an Ada]] [[RetargetedLust he can have for himself]]; the success, Carla Radames, is the BigBad of the game, with everything she does being payback at Simmons for using her in such a manner, making Simmons responsible for effectively ''every bad thing that happens in the game''. He's so horrible that Carla arranges for him to be infected with the C-Virus [[EvilMakesYouMonstrous specifically to make him a monster both inside]] ''[[EvilMakesYouMonstrous and]]'' [[EvilMakesYouMonstrous out]].]]
* TheHeavy: Simmons' obsession with Ada prompted him to have Carla develop the C-Virus. He also [[spoiler:turned Carla into an Ada doppelganger against her will, beginning her StartOfDarkness]]. But while his actions pushed the events of the plot into motion, he is more of a lesser villain compared to Carla, the mastermind behind Neo-Umbrella and the attempt at destroying the world.
* HumanoidAbomination: Simmons is this for as long as [[spoiler:his determination allows him to keep himself together after he's been injected with the C-Virus. He can even bring himself back to his human form on occasion]].
* HumiliationConga: His entire RasputinianDeath is very long, undignified, humiliating, and he deserves every second of it.
* ImplacableMan: Becomes this later in Leon's campaign. You end up fighting or running from him several times, and each time he seems to up the stakes against you.
* ILied: [[spoiler:He doesn't outright say it, but he tricks Helena into believing that Deborah will be returned to her safely after she does her part in his plans when in reality, he planned on offing Deborah and using Helena as a scapegoat all along.]]
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:Gets knocked off a rooftop and reverts to his human form long enough to be impaled on the monument in the foyer.]]
* InsaneTrollLogic: He gives Leon and Helena a MotiveRant as to why he caused the incident in Tall Oaks, believing that had President Benford disclosed the truth behind the Raccoon City incident, the resulting social unrest and mayhem would throw the entire world into chaos. Of course, he caused an actual disaster to prevent a possible one, as Helena points out, and he's giving this speech as Lanshiang is suffering from a bioterrorist attack and is falling apart around him.
-->'''Leon:''' I can't see how ''killing the President'' is good for the country!
* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler: As Simmons gets impaled and dies, his blood leaks out from his body and floods the courtyard's floor [[RuleOfSymbolism ironically forming the logo of the Umbrella Corporation on the ground]], symbolic of how his actions were just as bad and self-serving as Umbrella's for all his bluster about "protecting the US"]].
* KarmicButtMonkey: [[spoiler: Simmons gets this treatment in the later half of the game. He gets upstaged as a threat by Carla after she infects him, suffers a really bad HumiliationConga, gets an UndignifiedDeath, and all of his crimes are leaked to the public. Given how much of a scumbag Simmons is, he deserves no sympathy as he suffers throughout the game]].
* KickTheDog: He [[spoiler:holds Helena's little sister hostage in order to force her into helping him in his plan… and even when Helena plays her part, Simmons decides to be a rat bastard and use Deborah as a C-Virus guinea pig]].
* LaughingMad: [[spoiler:Completely loses his shit by the final battle with him, giggling like a lunatic in the creepiest manner imaginable.]]
* LoveMakesYouCrazy: [[spoiler:He's obsessed with Ada Wong, with whom he had only ever had a professional relationship. So he uses the C-Virus to try to create an "Ada Wong" who can belong to him, eventually succeeding to his satisfaction by using one of his female researchers who had feelings for him, and brainwashes her into thinking she is the real Ada. After Carla finds out and tries to destroy both him and the world, he remains convinced that Ada is a creation of his, screaming about how they were meant to be together, threatening to create another Ada if she won't obey him, and trying to [[MurderTheHypotenuse off Leon as competition]]. The real Ada is understandably disgusted.]]
* MagicPants: [[spoiler:No matter how grotesquely he transforms, he still has pants and shoes on when he reverts to his human form. Close inspection reveals that while the rest of his clothing was destroyed, his initial C-Viral combustion [[BodyHorror grafted the remains of his jeans to his legs]].]]
* MoralMyopia: [[spoiler:He has the gall to call Carla out for trying to infect and destroy the entire world despite him murdering the President and infecting the entire city of Tall Oaks before nuking it, causing tens of thousands of casualties, all to keep his own corruption a secret (though, admittedly, he ''is'' the lesser evil in terms of the scale of his plans). That's not even getting to the fact that him forcibly turning Carla into another Ada Wong is what caused her to do all that in the first place.]]
* MurderTheHypotenuse: [[spoiler:Repeatedly tries to kill Leon, initially through indirect action and eventually directly trying to kill him while screaming that the other man isn't worthy of Ada.]]
* NecessarilyEvil: He thinks of himself as such, anyway, viewing all of his crimes as being better for America than letting Bedford reveal the full truth of Raccoon City.
* NotGoodWithRejection: Simmons' affection for Ada turned into obsession when she stopped working for him, despite them only ever having a professional relationship. When [[spoiler:Carla, the woman he turned into a clone of Ada also]] rejects him, he vows to kill her. As Ada continues to reject him, he goes further and further off the deep end, at one point trying to [[MurderTheHypotenuse kill Leon]] as well.
* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: For all of his grandeur about maintaining global stability, the only thing he utterly cares about is being in control; his primary motivation for [[spoiler:having the President zombified is to prevent the social unrest and mayhem that he believes would be the inevitable result of revealing the U.S. government's involvement in the Raccoon City incident. However, Simmons is prevented from becoming sympathetic by his [[PerverseSexualLust lust]] for Ada Wong. Not only do Simmons's actions in pursuit of his lust {{squick}} out several other characters (most notably Ada herself and her LoveInterest Leon Kennedy, whose disgusted reactions will most likely be [[BrainBleach shared by the player]]), they are also the direct cause for Carla Radames's StartOfDarkness, and therefore, ''pretty much every bad thing that happened over the course of the game''. Furthermore, in the process of preventing said information from becoming public, he infects and kills over 70,000 innocent people with the C-Virus; Helena even calls him out on it, pointing out that he caused an ''actual'' disaster to prevent a ''possible'' one]].
* ObliviousToLove: Simmons had a very attractive, brilliant viral researcher like [[FromNobodyToNightmare Carla Radames]] working for him [[IgnoredEnamoredUnderling and harboring a deep crush on him]], with UndyingLoyalty to the point she was willing to create the C-Virus and experiment on and kill 12,235 women test subjects in an attempt to recreate Ada [[ActOfTrueLove for him]]. A great deal of needless death and suffering might have been avoided if he had set aside his obsession with having an Ada and been aware of and/or reciprocated Carla's feelings, instead of using her to get his own twisted way. Because of this, he ended up shaping her into the BigBad of the game, and the near destroyer of the world.
* OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler:Due to Carla, he mutates through several of these.]]
* OrderVersusChaos: He's obsessed with maintaining global stability and order, which is why he infected Tall Oaks with the C-Virus, believing that President Benford revealing the truth behind the Raccoon City incident would destroy that stability. [[spoiler:Carla]], meanwhile, wants to use the C-Virus to destroy civilization completely and rule over the resulting chaos. Of course, as Leon and Helena point out, Simmons has caused quite a bit of chaos himself, since his idea of averting a ''possible'' disaster was to [[StartXToStopX cause an]] ''[[StartXToStopX actual]]'' [[StartXToStopX disaster]].
* PerverseSexualLust: Has a massive one towards Ada Wong, [[spoiler:so much so that he experimented on 12,235 women just to create another Ada]].
* PragmaticVillainy: After the Raccoon City incident, he becomes Sherry's legal guardian and allowed Claire Redfield to visit her regularly. However, this was not done out of kindness towards Sherry, but rather him protecting his stake in her. An agent that can regenerate is undeniably useful for him. Plus, Claire frequently visiting Sherry and helping Sherry cope with all the experiments he subjects Sherry to was all planned. In fact, Simmons doesn't like Sherry at all, as he mentions that Sherry's cheerful personality makes him sick and he only tolerates her because she may be of some use.
* RasputinianDeath: [[spoiler:He gets shot thousands of times, hit by a train, shot some more, falls dozens of stories, is caught in an inferno, is partly devoured by zombies, has several limbs blown off by lightning, and takes a rocket to the face, before he ''finally'' dies when his human form falls off the top of the Quad Tower and is impaled on a pillar.]]
* RuleOfSymbolism: When he's [[spoiler:ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice on the monument in the Quad Tower, his blood floods the floor of the courtyard and ends up forming the Umbrella Corporation logo, symbolizing that Simmons was just as bad as Umbrella. It also symbolized the US government's connections to Umbrella]].
* SanitySlippage: [[spoiler:By the end of the game, he's gone so batshit crazy that he's firmly convinced that Carla is the real Ada and is unable to differentiate between the two.]]
* ShapeshifterBaggage: [[spoiler:It seems the law of conservation of mass does not apply to Simmons after he goes OneWingedAngel. They try to make it more believable by making his earlier forms basically hollow and the latter requiring extra mass from zombies. In his death scene, his monster form splatters off into gory debris until he's in human form again.]]
* SingleTargetSexuality: He never shows interest in any woman but Ada Wong. [[spoiler:When she left his services, he turned his loyal researcher Carla into an Ada clone without a second thought.]]
* StartXToStopX: His idea of [[spoiler:averting a ''possible'' disaster that might occur from President Benford revealing the truth about Raccoon City was to ''cause'' an actual disaster by infecting and nuking Tall Oaks]]. Leon and Helena even point this out to him.
* SuperToughness: [[spoiler:In his OneWingedAngel forms, he can take ludicrous amounts of damage and keep going.]]
* TautologicalTemplar: He honestly seems to believe that everything he does, no matter how evil or crazy, is for the sake of preserving global stability. Never mind that in trying to preserve said stability, he [[spoiler:essentially recreates the Raccoon City Incident in Tall Oaks and kills tens of thousands of innocents, including the President]].
* UndignifiedDeath: [[spoiler: His death is completely humiliating having been impaled and dies trying to transform. If that wasn't bad enough his crimes and corruption are revealed to the public, thus tarnishing his legacy and forever leaving Simmons in absolute disgrace.]]
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: [[spoiler:Simmons sets Carla down her dark path by turning her into a clone of Ada against her will and shattering her sanity.]]
* UnwittingPawn: To [[spoiler:Carla, whom he thinks is still on his side]].
* VillainInAWhiteSuit: Simmons's outfit for the entire game. [[spoiler:It gets shredded after Carla infects him.]]
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: As the National Security Advisor, he was considered above suspicion of causing the Tall Oaks incident. It helped that he had set Helena up to take the fall prior to the outbreak and controlled all of the evidence implicating him... though he didn't count on the ''real'' Ada leaving Leon and Helena evidence that proves his guilt after his demise.
* VillainousBreakdown: As the game goes on, when he realises [[spoiler:just how badly Carla had played him]].
* VirtueIsWeakness: [[AllThereInTheManual In-game files]] reveal that he finds Sherry's kind and charitable nature sickening and disgusting.
* VoiceOfTheLegion: It comes and goes: sometimes he has it in his human form, usually has it in his monster forms, sometimes he doesn't in either.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Makes B.O.W. history by not only keeping his sanity [[AxCrazy (as it were)]], but shows the ability to freely shift between human-ish form and an array of monstrous shapes and back again whenever he pleases.
* WalkingSpoiler: Do you see the tropes and how many spoiler tags are on them?
* {{Yandere}}: [[spoiler:And ''holy shit!'' He kick-starts the events of the game by turning one of his researchers into a clone of Ada Wong out of his own perverse lust for her.]]

[[folder:Adam Benford]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/adam_ben432.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MichaelDonovan, Katsuhiko Sasaki (Japanese)

The President of the United States in 2013 and a personal friend of Leon's. He and Leon went back decades together, when he was implied to be the one who recruited the latter into the Division of Security Operations, a federal bio-terrorism response unit that succeeds the earlier Federal Bio-terrorism Commission, following the Raccoon City outbreak. He is assassinated-by-proxy during the Tall Oaks outbreak, by being exposed to the C-Virus, which zombifies him and forces Leon to put him down.
----
* AndThenJohnWasAZombie: Is infected by the gas cloud and becomes a murderous flesh-eater along with every other poor bastard who breathed in too much of that FogOfDoom.
* BenevolentBoss: If Leon's fondness of him is any indication, he was this.
* FirstNameBasis: With Leon, due to their history together.
* HeKnowsTooMuch: He's assassinated by [[spoiler:Simmons]] to silence him on matters regarding the US government's dealing with bio-weaponry in the past, which he was going to deliver during the speech at Ivy University.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: By his own admission to Leon, he'd been friends with Simmons for thirty years.
* OurPresidentsAreDifferent: Of the "President Personable" kind, right down to being targeted by the conspiracy.
* PosthumousCharacter: His death plays a large role in the events of the game, but we only ever see him as a zombie and in Leon's flashbacks.
* PresidentEvil: Completely averted. He is a good man and a ReasonableAuthorityFigure who wants to come clean about the Raccoon City incident to the world, including the U.S. government's part in it, so they can all move forward and start working together to fight bio-terrorism.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He's honest, listens to his subordinates, and tries to promote trustworthy, competent people to where they can do the most good. And when [[spoiler:Helena is found blameless for her part in his death]], Leon says President Benford would have said the same.
* RememberTheNewGuy: He was Leon's recruiter before the events of ''[=RE4=]'' and has been his friend for a decade, but he was never mentioned before. Justified in that he has little to do with fieldwork, which is basically all we see.
* RetiredBadass: Ex-military. Sadly, it doesn't help him.
* StakingTheLovedOne: Leon is forced to shoot his reanimated corpse. It's clearly a distressing event for Leon, who for once is hesitant, shaky, and even tries futilely to talk him down.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: President Benford is introduced and dies during the prologue of Leon's campaign.

!!Neo-Umbrella

[[folder:Carla Radames '''(UNMARKED SPOILERS)''']]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/c5361gjw_6.png]]
[[caption-width-right:250:[[labelnote:Click here to see her original appearance]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/carla_org_app.png[[/labelnote]]]]
[[caption-width-right:250:[[labelnote:Click here for her appearance in ''Resident Evil: The Marhawa Desire'']]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/carlamarhawa_01.png[[/labelnote]]]]

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/CourtenayTaylor, Creator/JunkoMinagawa (Japanese)

The mysterious founder and leader of Neo-Umbrella.

* ActionFashionista: Out of all of the characters in the game, she's easily the most fashionable.
* AxCrazy: By the time she and Ada meet face to face, she's pretty much completely lost it. Although infecting herself with TheVirus (which also doubles as a PsychoSerum) probably didn't help matters much.
* BadassDriver: She barely suffers any trouble when eluding Chris and Piers in a car chase across the city highway.
* BigBad: She's definitely the BigBad of Chris's, Jake's, and Ada's campaigns, while Simmons is more prominent in Leon's. It's appropriate to say that both villains are as much against each other as they are against the heroes. However, Carla is identified as the overall BigBad because she's the one who leads Neo-Umbrella, is responsible for all the chaos in the story (which ends up affecting even Leon's campaign), and the game's EvilPlan is hers.
* TheBadGuyWins: In a way. Because of her death, "Plan D" goes into effect and the missiles loaded with the C-Virus successfully launched and struck Tatchi afterwards, thus spreading throughout the city, so in the end she does get the last laugh.
* BlobMonster: Carla's OneWingedAngel form, which she gained from injecting herself with a powerful dose of the C-Virus.
* ChaosIsEvil: Her plan amounts to this. "Hell will rise, and chaos will reign! And I, Ada Wong, will be Queen of the new world!"
* TheChessmaster: She manages to manipulate just about everyone around her, playing Simmons for a fool and even drawing Ada into the chaos along the way.
* CloneByConversion: Of Ada Wong, thanks to Simmons.
* CloningBlues: After her transformation, she initially believed herself to be Ada Wong, before the Carla persona regained control. There still seem to be remains from her CloningBlues, though -- when she's DrunkWithPower right after injecting herself with the C-Virus, she claims to be the ''real'' Ada Wong.
* ColorCodedCharacters: Her outfit is dark blue, in direct contrast to Ada's usual bright red motif. Also, in terms of material, Ada prefers to wear softer, flowing materials; whereas Carla's dress seems to be a thicker, fibrous, more conservative polyester fabric.
* ColorMeBlack: Being turned into a clone of Ada changed Carla from Caucasian to an Asian woman.
* CombatStilettos: Those high-heeled boots don't slow her down, even when she's running from Chris.
* CoolCar: A very expensive-looking red convertible she uses to drive around Lanshiang.
* CrazyPrepared: She always seems to take every little possibility into account and create plans behind plans behind plans. She thinks about the possibility even of her own death, creating "Plan D" to be automatically activated if that comes to happen.
* DarkActionGirl: While she generally pulls the strings behind the scenes, she's nearly as capable as Ada as shown in the Mercenaries mode and throughout the story she’s easily able to elude Chris and Piers on multiple occasions, taunting them all the way. She also transforms into a giant blob monster after injecting herself with a particularly powerful strain of the C-Virus and attempts to kill Ada.
* DeadpanSnarker: She's seem to speak almost exclusively in snark, taunting Chris every time they encounter each other as well as Leon and Helena the few times she encounters them.
--> '''Leon:''' Ada, stop! We have to talk!\\
'''Carla:''' Sorry, not in a talking mood.
* DeathOfPersonality: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. Carla's mind was practically a blank slate immediately after her rebirth as "Ada Wong". Simmons then taught Carla how to behave like the original Ada, right down to her habits and traits. After some time, what's left of Carla's original self gradually crept back into her mind, screaming for [[LoveHurts vengeance against the man she once loved]].
* DiscOneFinalBoss: Carla may be the BigBad of ''6'' as well as TheChessmaster, but in the wake of her death, our heroes (chronologically) ''still'' have [[BigBadWannabe Simmons]], [[DragonTheirFeet Ustanak]] and [[FinalBoss HAOS]] to contend with.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Wanting revenge against Simmons for experimenting on her and using her? Understandable. Wanting to destroy the ''entire planet'' with the C-Virus as twisted payback against him and the Family? Not so much.
* DontYouDarePityMe: Ada states that had Carla limited her vendetta to Simmons, she might have helped her. Carla's response is to tell Ada to "get over [herself]."
* DrunkWithPower: Her diabolical speech after injecting herself with the C-Virus lays out her motives as a maniacal rant about taking over the world and being the "real" Ada Wong.
* DystopiaJustifiesTheMeans: She openly admits that the end result of her plan is going to be hell on Earth--spreading the C-Virus globally and taking over after civilization has been destroyed in its wake.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Carla first appears as the [[InTheHood hooded]] GreaterScopeVillain of ''Manga/ResidentEvilTheMarhawaDesire''.
* TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt: Her ultimate goal's to orchestrate C-Virus outbreaks across the whole planet. If anything, considering the amount of casualties around the world, she nearly succeeded.
* ExposedToTheElements: Her blue dress doesn't look like it would offer any good protection in a cold, snowy area but she isn't fazed at all.
* EvilDoppelganger: Of Ada Wong.
* EvilIsPetty: When it comes down to it, her entire EvilPlan, which leads to at least three cities across the world being destroyed, is little more than twisted payback at Simmons for subjecting her to C-Virus experiments.
* EvilGenius: Played with. She's definitely a genius as she received a doctorate at the age of ''fifteen'', but she didn't become evil until she realized what Simmons had done to her.
* EvilKnockoff: Ada has this to say about her in their final battle.
-->'''Ada:''' Hate to break it to you, but you're nothing but a cheap knockoff at best.
* EvilMakesYouMonstrous: Infects Simmons with the C-Virus with this trope [[ExploitedTrope in mind]].
-->'''Carla:''' At first, you'll be afraid. But don't worry. You're just becoming the monster you ''always'' were.
* EvilTwin: Not genetically, but Ada refers to her as such.
* EyeBeams: A variant; she actually builds up acidic fluid in her eyes and blinks it off as a projectile.
* FullFrontalAssault: Like Deborah, the transformation process destroys her clothing when she mutates and tries to kill Ada.
* ForTheEvulz: Unlike Wesker, whose delusions of grandeur led him to believe that B.O.W. experimentation would unlock the next stage of human evolution, Carla's primary goal is initially rooted in her vengeful designs against Simmons -- she has [[LackOfEmpathy zero remorse]] for any living thing, human or otherwise (save for the Ustanak), and her residual OmnicidalManiac tendencies appear to all be simply for the sake of plunging the world into chaos. However, her severe CloningBlues-induced VillainousBreakdown and endgame GodhoodSeeker speech seems to illustrate that she's perhaps more like Albert Wesker than she'd probably like to admit.
* FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse: Carla's actions are motivated by the fact that Simmons turned her into a [[CloneByConversion clone]] of Ada and essentially [[DeathOfPersonality destroyed her original self]], all for his own RetargetedLust. However, it's made clear that this doesn't come close to justifying Carla's [[KickTheDog numerous heinous acts]] throughout the game, which result in the deaths of tens of thousands of innocent people and the destruction of at least three major cities across the world, all for the sake of what amounts to [[EvilIsPetty petty]] {{revenge}} against [[DisproportionateRetribution one person]]; Ada herself says that while she can understand why Carla did what she did, she does ''not'' condone her actions.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: A random viral researcher working for Simmons with a crush on him who ends up becoming the ''Resident Evil'' villain who comes closest to destroying the entire world.
* GodhoodSeeker: Her MotiveRant to Ada clearly spells out that Carla is setting herself up nicely to rule the world after the C-Virus infection consumes it.
--> '''Carla:''' And I, Ada Wong, will be '''queen''' of the new world!
* GrapplingHookPistol: She uses one to zip around and away from those that are chasing her. It's the same kind that Ada uses.
* GreaterScopeVillain: Of ''The Marhawa Desire''. She's the hooded woman who gave the C-Virus to Bindi and frequently supplied a drug to her so Nanan's condition as a Lepotica could be stabilized. Prowling around Marhawa Academy to collect data while things go to hell, Carla's disappointed by how the now-mutated Bindi didn't put up the kind of fight she hoped she would--after which she leaves, but not before taunting her about "taking care of" Nanan once she dies. Afterwards, she almost injects Ricky with the C-Virus, but she retreats after Nanan engages her in combat. Carla then takes a DNA sample from Nanan's remains and continues her research to further her vengeful plot against Simmons.
%%* TheHeavy: For Ada and Chris' campaigns.
* HopelessSuitor: Before she became Ada's doppelganger, Carla was truly in love with Simmons and worked hard [[ActOfTrueLove on creating another Ada Wong for him despite her own feelings]]. Unfortunately, Simmons' obsession led him to betray Carla by using ''her'' as a test subject, resulting in the [[DeathOfPersonality loss of her very self]]. One can only imagine how different Carla's life would have been were it not for Simmons' obsession with another woman.
* HowDareYouDieOnMe: In the alternate modes, rather than the BigNo that everyone else screams, Carla is simply annoyed at her partner if they die.
--> "Ugh, what the hell."
* HumanoidAbomination: During the boss fight against her BlobMonster form, the liquid Carla is composed of can turn into humanoid shapes, mainly a body of liquid, enormous faces, or many arms grabbing at Ada from out of walls.
* {{Hypocrite}}: PlayedWith. It seems like Carla is this when she describes the late Albert Wesker as a "colossal imbecile" for his attempts to destroy the world with bioterrorism, while 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[[note]]they only differ in motivation: Wesker is a SocialDarwinist intent on "strengthening" humanity by wiping out those unfit, while Carla is an OmnicidalManiac intent on ruling over what chaos remains of a world she destroyed[[/note]]. However, it's possible that she wasn't mocking his ''motivation'' but rather his ''competence'' in carrying out his plan, in which case she has room to talk since she came closer than Wesker ever did.
* InTheHood: In ''The Marhawa Desire'', she's never seen without her hooded outfit--as it hides her identity.
* {{Jerkass}}: Carla is one of the cruelest characters in the franchise, taunting Bindi about "taking care of" Nanan and taking every chance to rub Chris' failures in his face.
* KarmicDeath: Carla dies after injecting herself with the Enhanced C-Virus and mutating into a BlobMonster, the same fate she had planned for the entire world. Ada lampshades it.
--> '''Ada:''' You tried so hard to destroy the world, now you've destroyed your body.
* KickTheDog: Her default mode in dealing with the protagonists.
** She forces Chris to watch his team die at her hands, then takes every chance to taunt him about their deaths.
** She tells Jake his father's identity, and mocks him over having a failed OmnicidalManiac as a father.
** She throws [[DeathTrap trap after trap]] at Leon and taunts him, making him think that ''Ada'' is trying to kill him.
* KickTheSonOfABitch: Her decision to infect and mutate Simmons can best be described as this. It's pretty hard ''not'' to cheer her on for it when we remember that this is the guy who killed the President and destroyed Tall Oaks while framing Leon and Helena for both, and also held Helena's little sister hostage to {{blackmail}} Helena into helping him do so and then experimenting on her with the C-Virus regardless. And this is used on her in turn by Simmons' followers who snipe her, forcing her to undergo a freakish mutation where she eventually gets killed by Ada.
* KillAndReplace: She had succeeded in convincing the world she was Ada Wong, the only thing left to do was get rid of Ada. Unfortunately for Carla, she did not succeed and Ada killed her instead.
* KillItWithIce: The only way to truly hurt her in her boss fight is to shoot blue liquid nitrogen tanks around the area. First these slow her down, but a final one behind her finishes the job.
* LadyOfWar: Just like the real Ada Wong, she has an air of elegance about her.
* LaughingMad: The SlimeGirl copies that she creates during her boss fight giggle creepily as they close in, [[AxCrazy and it's fair to say that by this point she's lost her mind]].
* TheManBehindTheMan: To Bindi, as she gave the C-Virus to her so she could have the power to exact revenge against those responsible for Nanan's death. After Nanan's transformation into the first known Lepotica, Carla also supplied Bindi with a drug that stabilized her condition while keeping her remaining intelligence intact.
* ManipulativeBitch: To Simmons, and previously to Chris' team in Edonia. She tries to pull this on Ada, but it doesn't work nearly as well on account of Ada knowing how Simmons operates and correctly guessing Carla was trying to pull the wool over her eyes.
* MesACrowd: A very disturbing BlobMonster and HumanoidAbomination variant in Ada's boss fight against her in which she can create clones of herself to pursue and trap Ada.
* MisplacedRetribution: Wanting revenge on Simmons for turning her into a doppelgänger of Ada without her consent is pretty understandable if not justified. Unfortunately, Carla goes about this by trying to throw the world into complete chaos just to hurt Simmons and framing the real Ada, who had no involvement in her victimization at Simmons's hands, for her crimes. Ada even says that she would have helped Carla if she had just limited her wrath to only Simmons.
* NakedOnRevival: The videotape found by Leon and Helena shows her "rebirth" as Ada. She pops out of the C-Virus cocoon, completely naked and covered in fluid.
* NavelDeepNeckline: The dress she wears throughout the game has a very deep neckline, reaching almost to her stomach.
* NearVillainVictory: Out of all the series' villains, including Wesker himself, Carla comes the closest to achieving her goal. In fact, if it weren't for the real Ada's involvement, she would have won easily.
* NervesOfSteel: Just like the real Ada, she remains cool as a cucumber in any situation. Taken up to eleven when Chris and Piers confront her; she calmly taunts him over the loss of his men and barely shows any reaction to having her C-Virus dart gun shot out of her hand. Although this vanishes after she comes back from the dead thanks to an injection of the C-Virus and becomes a psychotic BlobMonster.
* NonActionBigBad: She's more of a schemer than a doer. Of course, she's more than capable of getting her own hands dirty, as she both personally oversees Jake and Sherry's capture and infects Chris' entire squad. This gets averted in Ada's campaign where she goes OneWingedAngel and is fought and killed by Ada.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Thanks to a TraumaCongaLine that starts with CloningBlues and FakeMemories, Carla goes from an out-of-left-field villain with a simple case of WomanScorned to the villain responsible for causing the most destruction on a global scale in the entire game series.
* ObviouslyEvil: When Chris and Piers first meet her, her entire attitude and presence screams "I'm very much working for the bad guys", but other than a quick "watch her" to Piers from Chris, which of note, he fails to do, and then assigning the team rookie to guard her, which again, he fails to do, he doesn't do much about it.
* OmnicidalManiac: Her plan basically boils down to bombing major cities across the world with viral missiles and unleashing an EldritchAbomination she herself created to agamogenesize when it reaches the surface and infect the entire planet.
* OneWingedAngel: After injecting herself with the C-Virus before she was shot, Carla transforms into a white BlobMonster and slowly begins taking over an aircraft carrier.
* OrderVersusChaos: Simmons is obsessed with maintaining global stability and order, which is why Tall Oaks was infected with the C-Virus, believing that President Benford revealing the truth behind the Raccoon City incident would destroy that stability. Carla, meanwhile, wants to use the C-Virus to destroy civilization completely and rule over the resulting chaos.
* PetTheDog: According to one file, Carla is mentioned to be nice towards the Ustanak, almost motherly. In fact, she seemed to be motherly towards all of her creations. She considers the Haos to be her "special pet" and calls the Chrysalids "her little cocoons".
* PrideBeforeAFall: Carla is usually very cold, calculating, and careful, but she commits a fatal mistake out of pride: taunting Ada Wong about her plans and her intention to frame her. Ada's involvement is the very key that leads into Carla's downfall. According to a file, Carla may have contacted Ada Wong out of the desire to be saved by her, but by the time Ada comes across her, [[TragicVillain her mind is already lost]].
* PsychoticSmirk: She's smirking for most of the game, pleased as punch that her plans are going so well. It's especially prevalent whenever she subjects one of Chris' teammates to the virus, happy to watch them struggle in vain.
* RedOniBlueOni: Inverted in that Carla, though wearing primarily blue, is slightly more confident to the point of arrogance, contrasting to Ada, who commonly wears red but is also cool and aloof.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: One of her main goals is taking revenge on Simmons for using her as an unwilling subject for Project Ada, which includes, but isn't limited to having him infected with a highly powerful and dangerous strain of enhanced C-Virus... and taunting him about it.
* ScarfOfAsskicking: Adorns a flowing red scarf, and is capable of kicking ass.
* SpeakIllOfTheDead: When she and Jake meet in Edonia, Carla has absolutely zero qualms against referring to the late Albert Wesker as a "colossal imbecile" and a "fool." While talking to Wesker's ''own son'', no less.
* SanitySlippage: Despite not being all there thanks to Simmons' experiments and brainwashing, she was composed and calm when she first entered, all the way up to catching a bullet in her chest, but when the C-Virus injection she took kicks in and saves her from death, she starts ranting and raving as she disintegrates into a white paste, and by the time of her demise, she's a slimy mass of AxCrazy, she's having trouble speaking, and is ranting nonstop about her desire to kill Ada.
* SlimeGirl: A [[HumanoidAbomination particularly grotesque]] form. She uses her mutated body to form deformed copies of herself that secrete acid, scream like infants and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking walk in]] [[FanDisservice a weirdly sensual manner]] if they aren't tripping over themselves.
* TheStarscream: Even after Carla remembers everything and regains control of herself, she pretends to still be loyal to Simmons for some time, in order to use his own money and resources to advance with ''her'' plans, which include destroying him and everything he holds dear. Eventually, she decides she doesn't need this anymore and leaves him.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: Her ab-lib for telling her teammates to fall back in the alternate modes indicates she does ''not'' play with others.
--> "Move or I'll shoot you!"
* SlasherSmile: Some of the faces that she forms in her boss fight sport one.
* TeenGenius: Completed a doctorate course in genetics at ''fifteen''.
* {{Troll}}: Especially when she taunts Chris over the death of his soldiers. ''Whom she mutated with the C-Virus, all while wearing a sadistic smile on her face''. And during the entire time she's taunting him, Carla is mockingly displaying the very gun she used to infect one of his men with.
-->'''Carla:''' Still haven't had enough, huh? Even after losing ''all your men -- again?''\\
(Chris begins to become more incensed)\\
'''Carla:''' With your track record, I gotta say, I'd hate to a member of ''your'' team, ''Chris''.\\
'''Piers:''' Don't listen to her, Captain.\\
'''Carla:''' But where are my manners? I mean, really, I should be ''thanking'' your men for being such good ''test subjects.''
* TheUnfettered: Even before her EvilPlan began, she was remarkably ruthless--for instance, choosing to make her base in China because of the sheer number of unsuspecting civilians she could have abducted to use as unwilling test subjects.
* TheUnreveal: In-universe since the BSAA never found out she supplied Bindi with the C-Virus. It especially shows with how Chris and Piers--who were present during the Marhawa Desire--don't know she was responsible for it.
* VillainousBreakdown: Her crazed rant to the real Ada as she's undergoing her OneWingedAngel BlobMonster transformation is indisputable proof that she's pretty much snapped.
* VillainousValor: Say what you will about how AxCrazy she ends up being, but she goes down fighting to the bitter end.
* WalkingSpoiler: Even just looking at Carla is a major spoiler, since she's an exact clone of Ada Wong. She's also treated as "Ada" in every campaign except for Ada's, so her true identity is also a major spoiler.
* WomanScorned: The main reason why she's determined to destroy Simmons and everything he held dear was because Carla loved him dearly before her rebirth as "Ada Wong".
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: While she may have desired the world's destruction, she never really asked to become what she is, and Simmons manipulated and mutated her against her will. Ada actually [[SympathyForTheDevil sympathizes with her]] to a degree, even telling Carla that, had she not also tried to destroy the world, she would have gladly helped her take revenge on Simmons.

* FullFrontalAssault: She's entirely naked in her boss form.
* MsFanservice: Stated in the art book to be ''deliberately'' designed as one of these in her C-Virus form; the very first attack she pulls off in the first stage of her fight is to ''straddle'' the player character and then caress her body as her new limbs impale them.
* PainfulTransformation: Her final moments before mutating are spent screaming in agony before ''bursting into flame''.

[[folder:Agent]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/250px-AgentHelper_1589.png]]
[[caption-width-right:250:''"Come to daddy!"'']]

A character that exists as a co-op partner for Ada Wong. Unlike all the other cooperative partners, he is not a factor in the overall story line, and is excluded from single player as a result. Should the player choose to play with another player, he will appear to assist in combat. He cannot interact with puzzles and in important events, having to rely on the first player (Ada Wong) to do everything. He IS fully playable in the other extra modes, however.

* {{Expy}}: To Hunk. Or he may as well be Hunk. Who’s to say?
* TheFaceless: He is always seen with his mask.
* FeaturelessProtagonist: He has no place in the story at all. He IS just as capable in combat as all the other characters, though. Taken up to eleven in that combat and assisting his partner is the ONLY thing he is allowed to do, and he is unable to do any ActionCommands like opening doors, except ones directly relating to countering enemies, jumping across chasms, or climbing ladders.
* TheGenericGuy: Unlike past and future male protagonists such as Ethan Winters, he is just sort of there. The only time he's acknowledged is if he dies and Ada shouts a BigNo.
* NeckSnap: His finishing move, almost the same as Chris's.
* NoNameGiven: He is only known as "Agent", and even then, he is never acknowledged by name or anywhere outside of preset partner dialogue choices.
* OffscreenTeleportation: Since he cannot get around certain obstacles like Ada can, he's teleported to Ada's location when she advances without him.
* SatelliteCharacter: He only exists as an extra gun for Ada during her campaign, and otherwise has no bearing on the storyline.

[[folder:University Staff Member]]

A member of the faculty at Ivy University. He asks Leon and Helena to help him find his missing daughter.

* DespairEventHorizon: [[spoiler:Liz succumbing to the C-Virus drives him to the point of despair. He breaks down, cradling her dead body. This gives her the opportunity to [[BetrayalByOffspring attack him]] and [[{{Patricide}} bite out his throat]] when she revives as a zombie.]]
* HopeSpot: Subverted. As thanks for helping him find Liz, he offers to take Leon and Helena with him in his car. [[spoiler:This amounts to nothing since not only does he get killed, but the parking garage turns out to be overflowing with zombies, so taking his car was never an option. And since it's obvious from his coughing up blood that he's a ZombieInfectee himself, he was pretty much doomed anyway.]]
* NoNameGiven: He isn't identified by name, although the [=BradyGames=] [[AllThereInTheManual strategy guide]] identifies him as Robert. However, Capcom has not confirmed this as canon.
* OutlivingOnesOffspring: [[spoiler:Very, ''very'' briefly, after Liz dies from the infection in his arms. Then she reanimates and mauls him to death.]]
* QuestGiver: His role during the section of the game at the university, when he asks Leon and Helena to [[EscortMission help him find Liz]].
* RedShirt: The latest in a long line of doomed ''Resident Evil'' supporting characters.
* VirusVictimSymptoms: [[spoiler:From the moment you run into him, it’s clear that he’s not very well, suffering severe respiratory problems ranging from coughing up blood to shortness of breath. Considering what’s happened to the rest of the campus, it’s almost certain that his days were numbered, and that the only reason why he didn’t succumb and join them in undeath was because his daughter beat him to it and killed him first.]]
* WeHardlyKnewYe: He isn't around very long before getting [[spoiler:killed by his infected daughter]].
* ZombieInfectee: [[spoiler:He was coughing up some blood even before Liz killed him, so even if he'd survived the elevator scene, he probably would've turned into a zombie.]]

[[folder:Liz]]

The faculty member's missing daughter.

* AndThenJohnWasAZombie: [[spoiler:After seeming to die during the elevator ride, she suddenly revives as one of the living dead.]]
* AntagonisticOffspring: [[spoiler:As a zombie.]]
* BoomHeadshot: [[spoiler:Helena pops one in her noodle.]]
* FlatCharacter: She's just a basic DistressedDamsel in need of rescuing.
* HopeSpot: Averted. [[spoiler:She's clearly going to turn into a zombie whether her dad gets her to the car or not, and by gum that's exactly what happens.]]
* SelfMadeOrphan: [[spoiler:After turning into a zombie, she kills her father.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: It's difficult to discuss her role in the plot without outlining what she does, because her only role in the story is to [[spoiler:get rescued, die, revive as a zombie, kill her dad, and finally get blown away by Helena]].
* ZombieInfectee: [[spoiler:She's infected with the C-Virus and turns into a zombie after seeming to die on the elevator.]]

[[folder:Peter]]

A survivor who joins Leon and Helena.

* AssholeVictim: Peter spends his entire time being an asshole towards his girlfriend that [[spoiler:nobody griefs him except said girlfriend]].
* DirtyCoward: Abandons Nancy to die and tries to save himself.
* DomesticAbuse: There are many times he had abandon his girlfriend and even steals her weapon despite being in a gunstore filled with other weapons. Judging by the prayers of a woman in the church who may be related to Nancy, Peter is already a horrible boyfriend before the outbreak.
* DontCelebrateJustYet: He's quite pleased with himself after downing the first zombie he encounters after running off and abandoning everyone else. [[spoiler:It promptly turns into a Bloodshot and kills him.]]
* FromBadToWorse: [[spoiler:He thinks he's facing an ordinary zombie and shoots it, only for it to revive and become a Bloodshot, which kills him.]]
* ItsAllAboutMe: Insists he is more important than everyone else, including his own girlfriend.
* JerkAss: He is completely unhelpful and antagonistic.
* LaserGuidedKarma: Running off and leaving Nancy and the others to get killed [[spoiler:leads directly to his own death when he gets killed by zombie that turns into a Bloodshot]].
* TooDumbToLive: Somehow he has the bright idea of leaving a well-defended gun store all and thinking he has a better chance of surviving by himself. [[spoiler:Less than five minutes later, he is killed.]]

[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jake_m.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TroyBaker, Creator/DaisukeNamikawa (Japanese)

->''"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''. Coming from a poverty-stricken Edonian family, Jake became a mercenary early on 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/ResidentEvilAlbertWesker Albert Wesker]].

* AdoptTheDog: [[spoiler: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.
* AmbiguousSituation: Much like his father, Jake possesses superhuman abilities, though to a smaller degree than of his father. However, Wesker only acquires these abilities after being injected with a unique virus during the Mansion Incident in 1998. This leaves the question as to when and how Jake acquired his powers, as the only time Jake is infected with any kind of virus is with the C-Virus, which is a completely different virus from the one his father received.
* AntiAntichrist: He's the final legacy of what was the series BigBad for a while. His response to that can be summed up as "screw that."
* AntiHero: A NominalHero, 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 KnightInSourArmour, becoming a much more heroic and self-sacrificing character]].
* BadassBiker: Chapter 4 of his campaign involves a chase sequence on motorcycle, with Jake pulling off some impressive tricks to escape his pursuers.
* 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.
* 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. When they team up with Leon and Helena to battle the Ustanak in Lanshiang, Jake freely admits that he lives for stuff like this, causing Helena to question his sanity.
* CallingTheOldManOut: Jake never has a good opinion on his father though he always thought he was simply a deadbeat who abandoned him and his mother. When he discovers what kind of a man Wesker actually was, Jake's hatred for him increases and he spends the remainder of his campaign speaking ill of him.
* CasualDangerDialog: He calmly talks about re-negotiating his price for his job while beating a J'avo senseless.
* ChekhovsGunman: His C-virus antibodies, 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.
* ComicallySmallDemand: [[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.]]
* CoolShades: His alternate outfit in ''The Mercenaries''. Canonically, he wears them only once in the game.
* CynicismCatalyst: Being one of only two survivors when his first mercenary group was sold out by their leader, a man he'd grown to admire and even regard as a [[ParentalSubstitute father]]. To make matters worse, it happened around the time his mother died. He's described as having never trusted anyone after that.
* 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.
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: [[spoiler:In one of the last boss fights against Ustanak, Jake finally has enough of running from it, and goes mano a mano with him. And assuming you don't screw up too many commands, manages to last long enough to survive the encounter and beats the shit out of that bastard.]]
* DistressedDude: Despite his badassery and powers, he is captured twice during the game by [[spoiler:Carla and her Neo-Umbrella]].
* DullSurprise: To the extent that he simply takes everyone else in his platoon turning into J'avo out to get him in stride.
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: One of his main motivations for becoming a mercenary was to provide for his mother.
* EveryoneHasStandards: This quote sums it up pretty good:
--> "Dying for money's one thing — that's ''my'' choice. But dying for no good reason? Doesn't sit right with me."
* ExtremeMeleeRevenge: During his final boss, when he goes mano a mano with the Ustanak, the end result is him punching the creature with incredible force and speed while screaming profanities at it, and finally ending with a MegatonPunch that knocks it into the lava.
* FieryRedhead: He has the classic BloodKnight variation on the trope, eager to fight and quick to react with violence. It's hard to tell with his hair buzzed so short, but his character designs show that he's a redhead.
* 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.
* GenerationXerox: Rather ironically, Jake ends up developing a close personal friendship with Sherry Birkin in ''[=RE6=]'' that mirrors the relationship [[VillainousFriendship his father Wesker had with Sherry's father William]]. Fortunately for everybody, [[IAmNotMyFather they are far better people then their fathers were]].
* GeniusBruiser: Downplayed since he's not that educated and drops more curses than big words, but he's implied to pick up skills extraordinarily quickly; aside from learning combat skills well enough to kill multiple experienced attackers after relatively little experience when he was just a teenager, he speaks and writes flawless English despite it probably being his second language and learns how to both speak and read fluent Chinese — a ''tone language'' with ''vastly'' different grammar from English and most European languages — from a few months of listening to his captors.
* 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.
* HealthcareMotivation: He originally became a mercenary to earn the money needed for treating his mother's illness. Unfortunately, she died soon afterwards.
* HeroicBastard: His father and mother never married, so that's a given. Despite this hardship, he establishes himself as a firmly heroic, if a bad jaded, person as his story progresses.
* HiddenDepths: Whoever expected a tough-as-nails merc like him to know how to play Chopin on the piano?
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: He's 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. 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.
* IndyPloy: He decides to stop running and destroy an attack chopper that is hounding both them and Chris, but then admits that he's making it up as he goes along and has no idea ''how'' to do so.
* ItRunsInTheFamily: 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.]] Not to mention the whole reason he became a mercenary was to support his mother.
* 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 [[SuperStrength incredibly strong]] and agile despite being only 20 years old thanks to his genetics. 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.]]
* LivingMacGuffin: Neo Umbrella wants him so that they can experiment on his blood to make their C-Virus more lethal. The US government also wants him and his blood so that they can use his antibodies to develop a vaccine for the C-Virus.
* LukeIAmYourFather: He is Albert Wesker's illegitimate son though he only discovers this from Carla three years after Wesker is dead.
* MrFanservice: Complete with a long ShirtlessScene.
* TheNicknamer:
** He calls Sherry "super girl".
** Like Wesker in Chris's ending in ''VideoGame/MarvelVSCapcom3'', he calls the BSAA "boy scouts".
* NomDeMom: He doesn't share his last name with Albert Wesker, which is used to contribute to TheReveal.
* NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent: Jake has what is definitely an American accent, but he was born and raised in Eastern Europe. [[FridgeBrilliance He did learn to speak fluent Cantonese just by listening to his captors.]]
* NotWorthKilling: After escaping Ustanak in chapter 1 the first time, Jake tells Sherry on how he encountered a man who pulled a knife at him rather [[WhyDontYouJustShootHim than shoot him]], as he figured Jake wouldn't be worth killing with a bullet.
* 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.
* {{Polyglot}}: He speaks fluent, accentless English, learns how to speak and read Chinese after listening to Neo-Umbrella goons speak it, and, judging by his usage of "Grazie," has at least some knowledge of Italian.
* PrettyBoy: Of the "rugged, bad boy" type.
* 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.
* SirSwearsalot: Has the tendency to say curse words like "Get your own helicopter, asshole!"
* 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.
* SuplexFinisher: One of his finishing melee moves.
* TiredOfRunning: The whole reason why he decides to take the Ustanak head on during the final boss fight.
* TallDarkAndHandsome: At 6'3".
* TrailersAlwaysSpoil: The game's trailers reveal from the beginning that he's Wesker's son, which the game itself treats as TheReveal.
* 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 he's still a very attractive guy.
* UnresolvedSexualTension: With Sherry.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: Spends a chapter of the game in nothing more than hospital pants.
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: Spinning DDT on stunned enemy = YourHeadAsplode. He can even perform a freaking suplex on Ustanak.
* YouKilledMyFather: [[spoiler:When Chris confesses that he was the one who murdered Jake's father, Jake flips out, holds him at gunpoint, and comes within a hair's breadth of shooting him in the face right then and there, but averts his aim at the last second.]]
* YoungerThanTheyLook: Jake is only 20 years old, despite his appearances.

[[folder:Helena Harper]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/helena_tall_oaks.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/LauraBailey, Mayumi Sako (Japanese)

Leon's companion in ''6''. She is a government agent who holds herself responsible for the virus outbreak in Tall Oaks.
----

[[folder:Piers Nivans]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/piers_n.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Christopher Emerson, Shuhei Sakaguchi (Japanese)

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

* AffirmativeActionGirl: Gender Inverted. Every team-up in the franchise going as far as the original game always featured a male-female leading duo. Piers is the first male companion to the protagonist (in this case, playing the support role that Sheva played in the previous game).
* AndThenJohnWasAZombie: [[spoiler:Piers is forced to inject himself with the C-Virus in order to defeat Haos. Afterwards, [[HeroicSuicide he remains behind in the exploding base]], not trusting himself to retain his humanity long enough for a cure.]]
* AnArmAndALeg: [[spoiler:Loses his right arm in the final battle. A C-virus injection gives him a new one.]]
* BadassNormal: Piers is a talented soldier, but still an ordinary human fighting against virus-enhanced weapons.
* BadassDriver: He claims to be the best driver of the BSAA — and you even get to drive a military jeep while playing as him at one point of the campaign. His alternate outfit in ''The Mercenaries'' references this, being a racer jumpsuit.
* BadPowersBadPeople: [[spoiler:The apparent reason he opts for the HeroicSacrifice. He's struggling to maintain his sense of self throughout the final boss battle, and realizes that no matter how hard he's trying, the infection is slowly spreading beyond his arm.]]
* BrokenPedestal: He always dreamed about joining the army like the other men in his family, but when he did and saw his superiors treating their soldiers as expendable pawns… things changed when Chris recruited him into the BSAA. Subverted in his relation to Chris, as he never loses faith in him and helps him go back to what he was.
* CastFromHitPoints: [[spoiler:His lightning attacks with the mutated arm. Good thing his HP is slowly but always recovering when infected.]]
* {{Determinator}}: A fiercely determined soldier, never giving up and going so far as to [[spoiler:tear his own injured arm off and use the C-Virus on himself to save Chris]].
* DoesntTrustThoseGuys: He doesn't particular trust mercenaries and if he had his way, Jake would have been arrested in his first encounter with the BSAA.
* DyingAsYourself: [[spoiler:He chooses to remain behind and die with Neo-Umbrella's underwater facility because he knows that he will eventually lose himself to the infection.]]
* EarlyBirdCameo: First appeared as a focus character in ''Manga/ResidentEvilTheMarhawaDesire''. His first name was mistakenly translated there as "Beards," which caused a lot of amused reactions from Western fans.
* EmpoweredBadassNormal: [[spoiler:He willingly infects himself with the C-Virus to save Chris, causing him to regrow his arm with the ability to shoot electricity. As such, he presents a chance for the player to experience playing a [=BOW=] in the canon campaign.]]
* EvilCounterpart: Inverted — he can easily be interpreted as the Good Counterpart of Jack Krauser from ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4''. Both men are accomplished soldiers and firm allies to a ''Resident Evil'' main character (Leon for Krauser and Chris for Piers) who find themselves [[spoiler:mutated by viruses that cause both to acquire a RightHandOfDoom, but while Krauser goes crazy and tries to kill his former partner, Piers maintains his sanity to the end and commits a HeroicSacrifice for Chris's sake]].
* FirstNameBasis: Is literally the ''only'' member of Chris's squad to address him by name, though he still mostly sticks to just calling him "Captain".
* FriendlySniper: Piers is the sharp-shooter of his team, and a relatively kind man.
* HealingFactor: [[spoiler:Once he injects himself with the C-Virus, he develops one in gameplay, with RegeneratingHealth. This is justified by the fact that his ShockAndAwe RedRightHand is CastFromHitPoints, meaning that he needs to have something to use as ammunition.]]
* TheHeroDies: [[spoiler:Piers is noticeable for being the first protagonist in a ''Resident Evil'' game to die, sacrificing his life to push Chris back up to the surface before the base collapses and he loses his humanity.]]
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:He uses the C-Virus on himself, using the last of his strength to save Chris and staying behind so that he'll die before the infection takes over his mind]].
* {{Hunk}}: Alongside staple ''RE'' hunk Chris Redfield, of course.
* InformedAbility: According to supplementary material, he's known as "the man who never misses a target". Sadly, he doesn't qualify for RedBaron since no one calls him this in-game, and while he's shown to be a very good sniper, he doesn't make any shots that qualify him for having ImprobableAimingSkills, leaving him stuck with this.
* TheLancer: Goes from Chris's second-in-command to Chris's conscience. [[spoiler:''Revelations 2'' reveals that Claire entrusted him to look after her brother.]]
* LastBreathBullet: [[spoiler:With the last of his life and humanity, Piers finishes off Haos before it can kill Chris.]]
* LightningGun: [[spoiler:His C-Virus RedRightHand doubles as an organic one.]]
* MeaningfulName: Piers is a name of Greek origin, meaning "rock" — fitting, since he is [[TheReliableOne Chris's rock]].
* MentorOccupationalHazard: [[spoiler:InvertedTrope.]] Chris is grooming Piers to take command in the future, and sees him as the future of the [=BSAA=]. [[spoiler:Instead, Piers drags Chris out of his TenMinuteRetirement and sacrifices himself to save his mentor.]]
* NiceGuy: According to the files, he always has "time to offer a kind word to his fellow soldiers".
* NumberTwo: He acts as Chris's right-hand man whenever he's leading a BSAA team.
* OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler:A Heroic example, spending the final battle in a transformed state. Afterwards, he commits suicide to ensure he won't lose his humanity.]]
* PassingTheTorch: Chris intends to have Piers as his successor, leaving him in charge of the North American BSAA team. [[spoiler:The ending of the game ensures that this will never happen.]]
* RedOniBlueOni: The Blue to Chris' Red. He's noticeably calmer, more optimistic and more level-headed than Chris, and often acts as the voice of reason whenever his Captain's judgment becomes clouded by distress.
* TheReliableOne: To Chris, as his second in command. This quality was what caused Chris to begin grooming Piers to become his successor in the [=BSAA=]. ''Revelations 2'' reveals that this reliability has earned him Claire's trust, as she's willing to let him handle problems with Chris instead of getting directly involved.
* RightHandOfDoom: [[spoiler:After injecting himself with the C-Virus, he grows a monstrous limb that can shoot electricity.]]
* RoundhouseKick: He can execute one as one of his melee attacks in ''The Mercenaries''.
* ScarfOfAsskicking: He wears a shemagh, a type of Middle-eastern scarf popular among soldiers serving in that region.
* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler:Is given full characterization in both ''The Marhawa Desire'' and ''6'', only to pull a HeroicSacrifice by the end of the game.]]
* ShockAndAwe: [[spoiler:Only when infected, though. And it can be [[ChargedAttack charged]].]]
* {{Shoryuken}}: His coup de grâce is a powerful uppercut.
* SniperRifle: His weapon of choice is the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-materiel_rifle Anti-Materiel Rifle]], a sniper rifle built for destroying military equipment rather than personnel.
* SpeakIllOfTheDead: Granted, the person he's speaking about [[TheSociopath really deserved it]].
-->'''Piers:''' Wesker deserved what he got!
* TallDarkAndHandsome: At 5'10".
* TragicMonster: [[spoiler:A heroic example. Especially since he remains an ally even after his transformation.]]
* TogetherInDeath: With Merah Biji, dying only a year after her.
* WhatTheHellHero: Gives one of these to Chris about his vendetta, kamikaze-like rampages, and heavy drinking and letting all of that overwhelm his sense of justice.
* WideEyedIdealist: Especially when compared to Chris. [[WordOfSaintPaul His VA]] comments that still being very young plays a part in his idealism.
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: He's a reasonably accomplished hand-to-hand fighter, pulling off headlocks, uppercuts and even back-breaking strikes as a playable character in ''The Mercenaries''.

* FullFrontalAssault: She's entirely naked in her boss form.
* MsFanservice: Stated in the art book to be ''deliberately'' designed as one of these in her C-Virus form; the very first attack she pulls off in the first stage of her fight is to ''straddle'' the player character and then caress her body as her new limbs impale them.
* PainfulTransformation: Her final moments before mutating are spent screaming in agony before ''bursting into flame''.

[[caption-width-right:250:''"Come to daddy!"'']]

A character that exists as a co-op partner for Ada Wong. Unlike all the other cooperative partners, he is not a factor in the overall story line, and is excluded from single player as a result. Should the player choose to play with another player, he will appear to assist in combat. He cannot interact with puzzles and in important events, having to rely on the first player (Ada Wong) to do everything. He IS fully playable in the other extra modes, however.

* {{Expy}}: To Hunk. Or he may as well be Hunk. Who’s to say?
* TheFaceless: He is always seen with his mask.
* FeaturelessProtagonist: He has no place in the story at all. He IS just as capable in combat as all the other characters, though. Taken up to eleven in that combat and assisting his partner is the ONLY thing he is allowed to do, and he is unable to do any ActionCommands like opening doors, except ones directly relating to countering enemies, jumping across chasms, or climbing ladders.
* TheGenericGuy: Unlike past and future male protagonists such as Ethan Winters, he is just sort of there. The only time he's acknowledged is if he dies and Ada shouts a BigNo.
* NeckSnap: His finishing move, almost the same as Chris's.
* NoNameGiven: He is only known as "Agent", and even then, he is never acknowledged by name or anywhere outside of preset partner dialogue choices.
* OffscreenTeleportation: Since he cannot get around certain obstacles like Ada can, he's teleported to Ada's location when she advances without him.
* SatelliteCharacter: He only exists as an extra gun for Ada during her campaign, and otherwise has no bearing on the storyline.

He is assassinated-by-proxy during the Tall Oaks outbreak, by being exposed to the C-Virus, which zombifies him and forces Leon to put him down.

[[folder:University Staff Member]]

A member of the faculty at Ivy University. He asks Leon and Helena to help him find his missing daughter.

* DespairEventHorizon: [[spoiler:Liz succumbing to the C-Virus drives him to the point of despair. He breaks down, cradling her dead body. This gives her the opportunity to [[BetrayalByOffspring attack him]] and [[{{Patricide}} bite out his throat]] when she revives as a zombie.]]
* HopeSpot: Subverted. As thanks for helping him find Liz, he offers to take Leon and Helena with him in his car. [[spoiler:This amounts to nothing since not only does he get killed, but the parking garage turns out to be overflowing with zombies, so taking his car was never an option. And since it's obvious from his coughing up blood that he's a ZombieInfectee himself, he was pretty much doomed anyway.]]
* NoNameGiven: He isn't identified by name, although the [=BradyGames=] [[AllThereInTheManual strategy guide]] identifies him as Robert. However, Capcom has not confirmed this as canon.

* QuestGiver: His role during the section of the game at the university, when he asks Leon and Helena to [[EscortMission help him find Liz]].
* RedShirt: The latest in a long line of doomed ''Resident Evil'' supporting characters.
* VirusVictimSymptoms: [[spoiler:From the moment you run into him, it’s clear that he’s not very well, suffering severe respiratory problems ranging from coughing up blood to shortness of breath. Considering what’s happened to the rest of the campus, it’s almost certain that his days were numbered, and that the only reason why he didn’t succumb and join them in undeath was because his daughter beat him to it and killed him first.]]
* WeHardlyKnewYe: He isn't around very long before getting [[spoiler:killed by his infected daughter]].
* ZombieInfectee: [[spoiler:He was coughing up some blood even before Liz killed him, so even if he'd survived the elevator scene, he probably would've turned into a zombie.]]

* EarlyBirdCameo: Carla first appears as the [[InTheHood hooded]] GreaterScopeVillain of ''Manga/ResidentEvilTheMarhawaDesire'' and TheManBehindTheMan to Bindi--the manga's BigBad.

* EarlyBirdCameo: Carla first appears as the hooded GreaterScopeVillain of ''Manga/ResidentEvilTheMarhawaDesire''.

* InTheHood: In ''The Marhawa Desire'', she's never seen without her hood on--as it hides her identity.

* {{Jerkass}}: Carla is one of the cruelest characters in the franchise, taking every chance to rub Chris' failures in his face.

* TheUnreveal: In an in-universe variant of this trope, the BSAA never found out she supplied Bindi with the C-Virus. It especially shows with how Chris and Piers--who were present during the Marhawa Desire--don't know she was responsible for it.

* EvilKnockoff: Ada calls her a knockoff in their final battle.

* EvilMakesYouMonstrous: Infects Simmons with the C-Virus with this trope [[ExploitedTrope in mind]]:

* GreaterScopeVillain: Of ''The Marhawa Desire''. She's the hooded woman who gave the C-Virus to Bindi and frequently supplied a drug to her so Nanan's condition as a Lepotica could be stabilized. Prowling around Marhawa Academy to collect data while things go to hell, Carla's disappointed by how the now-mutated Bindi didn't put up the kind of fight she hoped she would--after which she leaves, but not before taunting her about "taking care of" Nanan once she dies. Afterwards, she almost injects Ricky with the C-Virus, but she retreats after Nanan engages her in combat. Carla then takes a DNA sample from Nanan's remains for further research when the titular bioterrorist attack is almost over.

* GreaterScopeVillain: Of ''The Marhawa Desire''. She's the hooded woman who gave the C-Virus to Bindi and frequently supplied a drug to her so Nanan's condition could be stabilized--as she became the first known Lepotica after Bindi injected the virus into her corpse. Prowling around Marhawa Academy to collect data while things go to hell, she almost injects Ricky with the C-Virus at one point, but she retreats after Nanan engages her in combat. When the titular bioterrorist attack is almost over, Carla takes a DNA sample from Nanan's remains for further experimentation.

* EarlyBirdCameo: Carla first appears as the hooded GreaterScopeVillain of ''The Marhawa Desire''.

* GreaterScopeVillain: Of ''The Marhawa Desire''. She's the hooded woman who gave the C-Virus to Bindi and frequently supplied a drug to her so Nanan's condition could be stabilized--as she became the first known Lepotica after Bindi injected the virus into her corpse. Prowling around Marhawa Academy to collect data while things went to hell, she almost injects Ricky with the C-Virus after he attacks her, but she retreats after Nanan engages her in combat. Having gotten away with instigating the titular bioterrorist attack, Carla has her agents collect some of Nanan's remains to further her research.

* FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse: Carla's actions are motivated by the fact that Simmons turned her into a [[CloneByConversion clone]] of Ada and essentially [[DeathOfPersonality destroyed her original self]], all for his own RetargetedLust. However, it's made clear that this doesn't come close to justifying Carla's [[KickTheDog numerous heinous acts]] throughout the game, which result in the deaths of tens of thousands of innocent people and the destruction of at least three major cities across the world, all for the sake of what amounts to [[EvilIsPetty petty]] {{revenge}} against [[DisproportionateRetribution one person]]; Ada herself states outright that while she can understand why Carla did what she did, she does ''not'' condone her actions.

* GreaterScopeVillain: Of ''The Marhawa Desire''. She's the hooded woman who gave the C-Virus to Bindi in the wake of Nanan's death, after which she prowled around Marhawa Academy and collected data--all while things go to hell thanks to Bindi's vengeful machinations.

* {{Hypocrite}}: PlayedWith. It seems like Carla is this when she describes the late Albert Wesker as a "colossal imbecile" for his attempts to destroy the world with bioterrorism, while 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[[note]]they only differ in motivation: Wesker is a SocialDarwinist intent on "strengthening" humanity by wiping out those unfit, while Carla is an OmnicidalManiac intent on ruling over what chaos remains of a world she destroyed[[/note]]. However, it's possible that she wasn't mocking his ''motivation'' but rather his ''competence'' in carrying out his plan, in which case she has room to talk since she came closer than Wesker ever did.

* TheManBehindTheMan: To Bindi, as she gave the C-Virus to her so she could have the power to exact revenge against those responsible for Nanan's death.

* EarlyBirdCameo: Carla first appears as the hooded GreaterScopeVillain of ''TheMarhawaDesire''.

* TheUnreveal: An in-universe variation of this takes place, as the BSAA never found out she supplied Bindi with the C-Virus. It especially shows with how Chris and Piers--who were present during the Marhawa Desire--are oblivious to the fact she was its instigator.

* EarlyBirdCameo: Carla first appears as the hooded GreaterScopeVillain of ''The Marhawa Desire''.

* DontYouDarePityMe: Ada states that, had Carla limited her vendetta to Simmons, she might have helped her. Carla's response is to tell Ada to "Get over herself".

* DystopiaJustifiesTheMeans: She openly admits that the end result of her plan is going to be hell on Earth: spreading the C-Virus globally and taking over after civilization has been destroyed in its wake.
* TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt: Her ultimate goal, orchestrating virus outbreaks across the whole planet. If anything, considering the amount of casualties around the world, she nearly succeeded.

--> '''Carla:''' And I, Ada Wong will be the '''Queen''' of the new world!
* GrapplingHookPistol: She uses one to zip around and away from those that are chasing her. It's the same kind that Ada uses.

* JerkAss: Carla is one of the cruelest characters throughout the franchise, taking every chance to rub Chris's failures in his face.

* TheUnfettered: Even before her EvilPlan began, she was remarkably ruthless -- for instance, choosing to make her base in China because of the sheer number of unsuspecting civilians she could have abducted to use as unwilling test subjects.

* VillainousValor: Say what you will about how AxCrazy she ends up being, she goes down fighting to the bitter end.
