| 3 | !The Survivors |
| 4 | |
| 5 | [[folder: General Tropes]] |
| 6 | * ActionSurvivor: Once the T-Virus begins ravaging Raccoon City and the Umbrella Corporation starts actively hunting them down through the city, both Saito and Louise prove to be this as they adapt and improvise to survive, overcome, and avoid the dangers trying to kill them despite having no combat training whatsoever. |
| 7 | * AdaptationalRelationshipOverhaul: Saito and Louise's relationship is much more supportive and mutual than it was in canon. This was primarily due to Louise being forced out of her comfort zone by reverse-summoning herself to him, thus removing her from the negative influences of her home and academy life. Once the T-Virus outbreak hits, they grow even closer, possibly to a mutual dependency. |
| 8 | * TheApocalypseBringsOutTheBestInPeople: While Saito and Louise were good people before the T-Virus outbreak in Raccoon City, their morality only grows as the events unfold along with a deepening of their relationship. |
| 9 | * BattleCouple: Although Saito and Louise are not officially in a romantic relationship, the two grow extremely close as they fight their way out of Raccoon City. |
| 10 | * BestFriend: Saito and Louise quickly become this to each other. |
| 11 | * BetterToDieThanBeKilled: Saito and Louise, after realizing just how bad everything is, both make a promise to kill the other should they get infected. That way they would die as themselves rather than become zombies. |
| 12 | * {{Determinator}}: Despite having no combat training whatsoever, and all the dangers thrown in their path, Saito and Louise refuse to just lay down and die and instead opt to do whatever is necessary to survive. |
| 13 | * LimitedWardrobe: Justified. Due to being in the middle of a zombie apocalypse, neither Saito nor Louise have the means or opportunity to change clothes. They do manage to find some new clothes, but only because their old clothes were completely covered in blood and zombie guts. |
| 14 | * MuggleMageRomance: Louise is a Void mage while Saito has no magical ability whatsoever. |
| 15 | * RedOniBlueOni: Louise and Saito, respectively. This is reflected through their wardrobe, as Saito typically wears his blue hoodie or jacket, while Louise takes to wearing a red jacket once she arrives in Raccoon City. |
| 16 | * SteelEarDrums: Averted for once, as the frequent gunfire starts to affect Louise and Saito's hearing. Saito notes that even after eating Arklay herbs, they're risking permanent damage unless they find some ear plugs soon. He also mentions that Umbrella sells special ear plugs that protect eardrums without any of the combat downsides, presumably to HandWave all the ''Resident Evil'' protagonists who play this straight. |
| 17 | * SwordAndSorcerer: Saito is the sword whereas Louise is the sorcerer. This dynamic extends to how they wage combat, with Saito having the most direct damage-dealing weapons and Louise being in a more support role. [[spoiler:Has somewhat faded away after Louise lost her wand, with both of them primarily using firearms.]] |
| 18 | * ZombieApocalypseHero: Over the course of the Raccoon City Outbreak, both Saito and Louise gradually develop into this, turning from scared and hapless civilians to battle-hardened survivors. |

| 21 | [[folder: Louise Françoise le Blanc de la Vallière]] |
| 22 | The youngest daughter of Duke and Duchess de la Vallière, Louise Françoise le Blanc de la Vallière was on her last attempt to prove her validity as a mage when she accidentally cast the wrong summoning spell during the Tristain Academy of Magic's annual Springtime Familiar Summoning Ritual. Instead of bringing her prospective familiar to her, she brought ''herself'' to her familiar, a young Japanese-American boy named Saito Hiraga who lives with his parents in Raccoon City, United States of America. After living with him and his family for a month, the two are thrust into the fight of their lives as the city falls to the undead and the corrupt Umbrella Corporation attempts to kidnap her for their own twisted gains. |
| 23 | ---- |
| 24 | * ACupAngst: While less pronounced than in canon, Louise is somewhat insecure of her bodily appearance and does not like it when people compare her to other, more developed women. Saito eventually develops a fear of bringing this up at all, even when she's way out of earshot as he believes she has a sixth sense that'll tell her when someone's talking about her that way. |
| 25 | * AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Louise was ostracized both at home and especially in the Tristain Academy of Magic because she couldn't cast a single spell correctly. Every time she tried, all she got was an explosion for her efforts regardless of strength or affinity. This led to her being granted the "title" of "Louise the Zero." Because of this, she sincerely believes that no one from Halkegenia would miss her and put in the effort to bring her back. |
| 26 | * BadassBookworm: Louise is extremely intelligent, capable of learning and understanding any subject she puts her mind into. She's also an extremely capable, if untrained, combatant when dealing with both the undead and Umbrella's mercenaries. |
| 27 | * BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: [[spoiler:As Karin notes, the Hiragas took her in, clothed her, fed her, taught her, and pretty much treated her as a daughter solely out of the goodness of their hearts, with Saito in particular becoming her closest friend. As such, despite thinking that finding and binding her familiar would return her to Terre, she chooses not to do so when she realises ''Saito'' is her familiar, as she refuses to separate the family that showed her such kindness]]. |
| 28 | * BreakTheCutie: The stress of the zombie outbreak unfolding around her, along with Umbrella sending highly armed and trained mercenaries to kidnap her and whom might have killed Saito's parents when they resisted all add up to Louise having a mental breakdown when she blames herself for what happened to Saito's family. Luckily Saito quickly snaps her out of it, but it's readily apparent that Louise still blames herself. |
| 29 | * ClingyJealousGirl: Louise does not appreciate it when she finds a bunch of dirty magazines underneath Saito's bed and reads him the riot act over it. |
| 30 | * FishOutOfWater: Louise is from a magical society in the technological and political equivalent of the early 17th century. While she does adjust remarkably fast, she is still clueless about many aspects of late 20th century American life. |
| 31 | * HidingYourHeritage: In an effort to avoid any unwanted attention, Louise has Saito not divulge Louise's true origins or magical abilities. She did this out of fear that some, like the Umbrella Corporation, might seek to exploit her should they learn the truth. [[spoiler: Unfortunately, Louise's fears turn out to be valid and her efforts for naught as Umbrella does seek to capture her for experimentation, having known of her abilities since she arrived.]] |
| 32 | * IWillOnlySlowYouDown: Louise tries to tell this to Saito when she's at her lowest, saying that since Umbrella is only after her, he has a chance of getting out of Raccoon City alive. Saito shoots this down immediately, telling her they're in this together until the end. |
| 33 | * InSeriesNickname: Was mockingly given the runic title of "the Zero" due to her inability to properly cast magic. [[spoiler: It gains a new, more horrifying meaning when the Umbrella Corporation unintentionally appropriates it, referring to Louise as "Subject Zero."]] |
| 34 | * ItsAllMyFault: Louise comes to believe this after she and Saito have a chance to process everything that happened to them after Delta Team/Wolfpack broke into their apartment, seemingly killed Saito's parents, and tried to kidnap her. She feels that, had the Hiragas not taken her in out of the kindness of their hearts, the Umbrella Corporation wouldn't have hurt them. She even tells Saito to go on without her so as to save himself, but Saito quickly dissuades her of those thoughts. |
| 35 | * MageMarksman: She starts out using a Smith & Wesson Model 36 [=LadySmith=] revolver, and [[spoiler:once she gets a new gun she plans to turn the old one into a new foci, having long since lost her wand by that point.]] |
| 36 | * MasterOfUnlocking: Louise qualifies, thanks to her magic. While she can't unlock more complicated mechanisms like electronic locks, she can use a simple unlock cantrip to open any physical locks she comes across. This comes in handy both when escaping from Wolfpack, allowing them to open areas they otherwise wouldn't be able to go, and find shelter. [[spoiler: Sadly, after losing her wand to Delta Team, this is no longer an option.]] |
| 37 | * NobleFugitive: Tristain is a magocracy where all whom are considered to be nobles have the ability to cast magic. Even though Tristain does not exist on Earth, Louise is still a noble of Tristain whom the Umbrella Corporation is desperately trying to capture so that they can study her magic. |
| 38 | * OlderThanTheyLook: Downplayed, but her small stature and flat chest makes her look young enough that the authorities and doctors on Earth initially didn't believe her when she said she was sixteen until they measured her bone age. As well, due to Terre having longer years than Earth, she's actually seventeen in Earth years. |
| 39 | * PersonOfMassDestruction: Louise herself, due to her being a Void mage. She is able to cast a nearly limitless number of explosions which are powerful enough to turn zombies into chunks. [[spoiler: The Halkegenian Church believes she's even more powerful, so much so that the Pope sent his servant/familiar Julio to Earth to recover her for their use in their upcoming crusade against Earth. While Julio is uncertain that Louise's Void magic, and those of the other two unlocated Void mages, will be enough to counteract Earth's technological superiority, Pope Vittorio believes otherwise.]] |
| 40 | * ProperlyParanoid: Louise immediately distrusts the Umbrella Corporation, believing that all their "harmless tests" on her are for some nefarious purpose. Saito and his parents think that she's just being overly-suspicious, but of course once Raccoon City falls Umbrella sends mercenaries to capture her and kill the Hiragas. |
| 41 | * PowerOfTheVoid: Louise is revealed to be a Void mage, one of the first in nearly six-thousand years. Or at least confirmed, as it is unknown whether Void only just now reemerged or if it always was there just hidden in plain sight. While Void prevents Louise from casting other forms of magic, such as Fire or Water, it does allow her to create powerful explosions from miscasts (which are extremely effective against the undead) and even bring her to another world when she cast a Reverse Summoning Spell. |
| 42 | * RevolversAreForAmateurs: Louise's starter gun is a Smith & Wesson Model 36 [=LadySmith=] revolver. Not because she or Saito feel revolvers are cooler, but simply due to the fact that revolvers would be easier for Louise to use and understand due to them being comparatively simpler than semi-automatic pistols like Saito's Browning Hi-Power and later his Glock 17. [[spoiler:After she upgrades, she decides to keep it and use the gun as a new foci due to losing her wand.]] |
| 43 | * StopOrIShootMyself: Louise threatens to shoot herself in the head [[spoiler:after Delta Team catches up to her and Saito in the Raccoon City Mall, disarms her of her wand, and nearly kill Saito. She does this to prevent them from kidnapping her and releasing their own hostage in Saito, and since Delta Team's mission is to recover Louise alive and unharmed, the threat has teeth.]] |
| 44 | * SummonBiggerFish: In order to escape from Delta Team at the Raccoon City Mall, Louise [[spoiler:ends up pulling the fire alarm, thus attracting all of the nearby zombies and forcing the mercenaries to deal with them instead of kidnapping her and Saito. It works, allowing her and Saito to barely escape.]] |
| 45 | * TrappedInAnotherWorld: This time, it's Louise who got sent to another world. |
| 46 | [[/folder]] |
| 47 | |
| 48 | [[folder: Saito Hiraga]] |
| 49 | A normal seventeen-year-old Japanese-American boy living in Raccoon City, Saito Hiraga's life is turned upside down when Louise Françoise le Blanc de la Vallière accidentally reverse-summons herself to him. Despite their less-than-ideal introduction, Saito and Louise end up becoming close friends, with his family even taking her in once it becomes apparent Louise has no where else to go. When Raccoon City falls to the T-Virus, however, Saito's peaceful existence is put to the test, and he has to do everything in his power to ensure both he and Louise make it out of his hometown alive. |
| 50 | ---- |
| 51 | * AdaptationalNationality: In canon, Saito was pure Japanese. In ''Familiar Evil'', Saito is Japanese-American. This is because his parents were staying in Raccoon City due to his father's job when he was born and they decided to stay, making him American. |
| 52 | * BatterUp: Saito played in his high school baseball team. As such, when he and Louise are forced to run out into the city, he takes his wooden baseball bat with him to protect themselves. It proves to be very useful against zombies, [[spoiler:but unfortunately, gets destroyed during one of their confrontations with Wolfpack]]. |
| 53 | * ChickMagnet: According to his father, ever since he was a kid he would attract girls to him because he was a nice guy. Until Louise came around, Saito never gave them any real attention, prompting the girls to move on. As well, Kirche thinks he's quite attractive after seeing photos and recordings of him. |
| 54 | * CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Saito is by no means stupid, but, despite being by all definitions very mundane, he turns out to be a very capable combatant against zombies and other undead. |
| 55 | * DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife: While it isn't very pronounced, before Louise arrived Saito was generally just going through the motions of life, not quite knowing what he was going to do with himself after high school. |
| 56 | * NiceGuy: Saito is genuinely a great guy, willing and able to be there to support Louise every step of the way, both before and during the T-Virus Outbreak. |
| 57 | * FailedASpotCheck: On a system-wide level, Saito (much like everyone else in Raccoon City) completely missed the signs that Umbrella was both up to no good and in far more control of Raccoon City than they really should have been. Once he uncovers evidence of this, he takes it particularly hard. |
| 58 | * IKnowMortalKombat: Saito never actually fired a gun in real life before the zombies arrived, but he was a military history and weapons aficionado and had played/watched/read numerous movies, TV shows, and magazines about firearms before the events of the story. As such, he's able to both recognize and use the Browning Hi-Power pistol recovered from Officer Sanchez' car. He later recognizes an Ithaca 37 shotgun inside a gunstore, allowing him to use it effectively. |
| 59 | * IReadItForTheArticles: Saito tries to claim this when Louise finds a dirty magazine in his room. She's not fooled at all, and the paper-thin excuse just sets her off. Saito's parents hear the resulting tirade from the next room over, with his mom muttering that she's ''told'' Saito to get rid of the magazine. |
| 60 | * NativeGuide: Serves this role to Louise after she arrives to Raccoon City, teaching her the ins and outs of modern life. He shows her modern movies like ''Star Wars'', takes her to various places of interest like the Raccoon City Public Library, and overall helps her acclimate. Once the outbreak starts, he uses his knowledge of Raccoon City to lead himself and Louise to safety as much as possible. |
| 61 | * ShotgunsAreJustBetter: While scavenging a gunstore, Saito manages to find an Ithaca 37 shotgun which he immediately nabs for himself. He immediately proves its effectiveness by wiping out an entire flock of T-Virus infected crows. |
| 62 | * StreetSmart: Saito is by no means stupid, but he is far more adapt to modern life than Louise is and is quite capable of coming up with plans and strategies on the fly to ensure he and Louise survive. |
| 63 | * TooCleverByHalf: While scavenging in the mall, Saito grabs and tests a pair of walkie-talkies, figuring they’ll be useful if he and Louise ever get separated. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, he forgets that Delta Team has much more advanced equipment, and the brief test lets the mercenaries track them down.]] |
| 64 | * YouKilledMyFather: Saito believes that Wolfpack killed his parents during their attempted kidnapping of Louise. This fuels an intense hatred towards them. At the same time, he knows neither he nor Louise are in a position to do anything about it, so they focus on escaping rather than revenge. |
| 65 | [[/folder]] |
| 66 | |
| 67 | !The Rescue Party |
| 68 | |
| 69 | [[folder: General]] |
| 70 | A team of combat mages and commoner soldiers organized by the Vallière family, Princess Henrietta de Tristain, and the Halkegenian Church with the intention of finding and rescuing Louise from whatever predicament she found herself in then bringing her home safely. Although the party is comprised of some of the best mages and soldiers Tristain has to offer, none of them are remotely aware of the nightmare they are about to step into. |
| 71 | ---- |
| 72 | * BadassCrew: Every single member of the rescue party (with the exception of Kirche who's simply a talented civilian who snuck in) are some of the greatest warriors the kingdom of Tristain has to offer. Triangle and Square-class combat mages, commoner musketeers and soldiers, even a dragon. |
| 73 | * BadassNormal: All of the commoner soldiers who are members of the rescue party. Agnès in particular qualifies as she is the personal bodyguard of Princess Henrietta and [[spoiler: is a mage killer.]] |
| 74 | * EliteZombie: While all members of the rescue party are potentially susceptible to T-Virus infection and turning into mindless zombies, infected mages pose a far greater risk. Should they become infected and succumb to the virus, they will turn into an ElementalZombie they dubbed a draugr. |
| 75 | * {{Foil}}: To Saito and Louise's dynamic. While Saito and Louise are struggling to escape the horrors of Raccoon City with minimal gear and their wits only, their trust and bonds with each other is strong and unshakeable, meanwhile, the Rescue Party arrive in Raccoon City and manage to equip themselves with modern weaponry, however, their morale and trust with each other is slowly deteriorating the longer they stay in Raccoon City stemming from the social-divide back at Halkegenia. |
| 76 | * ThisIsGonnaSuck: All members of the rescue party feel this in one way or another. Given how they are travelling to a completely different world with little to no recon, no real idea where their quarry is nor how the locals will respond to them, and cut off from any reinforcements from Tristain, they're right to be concerned. |
| 77 | ** Kirche and Tabitha in particular feel this, due to the latter being forced to outright infiltrate the rescue party on orders from the Gallian crown and the former forcing herself to come along out of concern for her friend. Both of them know that they can and will face dire consequences for their actions, most likely expulsion, but they don't have any other choice. |
| 78 | ** The reaction from the mages when they find out what happens if they succumb to the T-Virus, not to mention the commoners in the group, who are now armed with modern weaponry becoming more wary of them in the process. |
| 79 | * MagicWand: All mages have to use a foci in order to properly use magic, with the classic magic wand being the most popular. Given how all of the mages selected for the rescue party are combat mages, they are armed with sword wands with the exception of Professor Colbert and Tabitha, who both opt for a staff, and Kirche who continues to use her wand. |
| 80 | * OhCrap: The group's reaction when they find out that T-Virus does not need to kill its victim for the mutations to take over[[spoiler: as Alphonse finally succumbs to the infection.]] |
| 81 | * UndyingLoyalty: The Tristainian commoners in the party are all incredibly loyal to Princess Henrietta personally, both out of a sense of nationalism and due to the Princess personally intervening on their behalf for several of them. |
| 82 | * WeAreStrugglingTogether: As the party is composed of nobles and commoners, the hellish situation in Raccoon City is starting to form cracks in the group's cohesion stemming from their home's social divide. [[spoiler:It only gets worse after Alphonse succumbs to the T-Virus and kills Claudette, with the commoners heavily implying that they'll simply kill the nobles right then and there if they suspect they're infected rather than risk them turning into a draugr.]] |
| 83 | [[/folder]] |
| 84 | |
| 85 | [[folder: Karin Désirée de La Vallière]] |
| 86 | Louise's mother, and the leader of the rescue party. A stern and taciturn woman who prides herself on keeping her emotions in check, Karin Désirée de La Vallière is renowned as one of, if not the, most powerful mages Tristain has ever produced. As soon as she learned of what happened to her youngest daughter, she dropped everything and immediately made her way to the Tristain Academy of Magic where she began organizing the rescue effort. |
| 87 | ---- |
| 88 | * ActionMom: Is personally leading the effort to rescue Louise from the hellhole Raccoon City has become, not that she knows that when she first arrives. |
| 89 | * BlowYouAway: Karin is a Square-class Wind mage, and arguably the most powerful mage in the entire setting behind only Louise herself. Ironically this is something of a problem for her. Karin is so powerful at using wind magic that she is both unable to cast spells from any other elemental affinity and finds it exceedingly difficult to tone her efforts down. She has to go all out or not at all, there is no in-between. |
| 90 | * TheDreaded: People who know her as the "Heavy Wind" are utterly terrified of her. |
| 91 | ** She demonstrates on why she earned that nickname by single-handedly decimating a horde of zombies that were attracted to the firefight between the Umbrella mercs and US Special Forces by summoning a tornado. |
| 92 | * TheLeader: The official leader of the Rescue Party, though she is struggling to keep the group unified as the split between the Nobles and the Commoners grows, having to do her best to keep Agnes (who the Commoners respect more) on her side. |
| 93 | * MamaBear: Once she learned of Louise’s disappearance, she flew over to the school immediately. She’ll stop at nothing to save her daughter. |
| 94 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: |
| 95 | ** After finding Louise's journal in the Hiraga apartment and learning from it that Louise had serious and legitimate doubts towards her parentage, to the point where she made a complete family tree, Karin realizes that her parenting led to her daughter having severe self-confidence issues. She doesn't take the revelation well. |
| 96 | ** Has a subdued reaction following [[spoiler:Alphonse's and Claudette's deaths, particularly after Agnès reads her the riot act for the latter.]] Afterwards, she vowed to ensure that she'd do what needed to be done to ensure the safety of her men, no matter how grisly it would be. |
| 97 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: Her refusal to euthanize an infected Alphonse despite the warnings from the locals leads to him turning into a powerful water magic wielding zombie, dubbed a "draugr" by Julio, who manages to [[spoiler: kill one of Agnes' musketeers]] before being put down. |
| 98 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Once the true depth of just how bad Raccoon City actually is, Karin immediately adjusts to the situation and makes compromises in an attempt to both keep the party alive and find Louise. |
| 99 | ** Despite being furious at Tabitha and Kirche's infiltration, she makes it a priority to keep them alive just like any of her men and willingly takes advantage of their skills, treating them as though they were part of the mission from the beginning. |
| 100 | ** Upon noticing the noble-commoner divide that was threatening to split the team, Karin attempted to bring Agnès into her inner circle and serve as a confidant and representative since the commoners all respected Agnès. For a time, it worked [[spoiler: until Karin's refusal to put down Alphonse when he was first infected led to Claudette's death, causing her relationship with Agnès to break down.]] |
| 101 | ** [[spoiler:While Karin initially didn't believe nor listen to concerns that Alphonse was infected and thus dangerous, once the truth was irrevocably revealed by three separate groups, including Echo-Six, she immediately moved to put Alphonse down herself rather than have Agnès do it. Unfortunately, by then it was too late and Alphonse mutated into a water draugr, resulting in Claudette's death.]] |
| 102 | * RedBaron: As "the Heavy Wind", Karin was the most feared mage on the battlefield. Entire armies would flee at the mere sight of her when she was still active. |
| 103 | * RetiredBadass: Once was the commander of Tristain's Manticore Knights and, as mentioned before, is the strongest mage in Tristain and perhaps the entire continent of Halkegenia. Louise's reverse-summoning hastily brings her out of retirement. |
| 104 | * RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Extends both to Karin herself and the entire Vallière family due to their belief in noblesse oblige. According to this belief, just as commoners should dutifully serve their noble superiors, the nobles should in turn strive to improve the lives of their subjects rather than just exploit them for personal gain. It is noted that commoners living in Vallière lands have the highest standard of living in the entire kingdom. She even leads the Rescue Party personally into Raccoon City to find Louise. |
| 105 | * WithGreatPowerComesGreatResponsibility: While Karin is very strict and stern, she is a firm believer in the philosophy of noblesse oblige, which stresses that the commoner-nobility relationship is a social contract rather than a simple give-and-take. According to her, the commoners follow the noble lords they serve, and in turn the nobles provide for and protect the commoners under their rule. Her impoverished upbringing as a nearly destitute member of the nobility reinforced this belief, and tellingly the people living in Vallière lands are far more prosperous and most commoners in Tristain. She and her husband made sure to pass this philosophy on to their three daughters. |
| 106 | [[/folder]] |
| 107 | |
| 108 | [[folder: Jean Colbert]] |
| 109 | One of Louise's teachers at the Tristain Academy of Magic, and her personal favorite, Professor Jean Colbert was overseeing the second-year students' summoning rituals when Louise accidentally reverse-summoned herself. Wracked with guilt, Colbert ultimately volunteers to participate in the rescue attempt to safely bring his wayward student home. |
| 110 | ---- |
| 111 | * TheAtoner: His reasoning for participating in the rescue attempt. As he was Louise's teacher, he feels that it was his responsibility to ensure that Louise was safe while at the academy. His guilt is only compounded by the fact that he should have failed her when Louise's first two attempts failed, only letting her try again out of sympathy for her situation. It was that third attempt when Louise disappeared, causing him to believe that had he failed her like he should have none of this would have happened. |
| 112 | * BaldMystic: Colbert's head is mostly bald, however [[spoiler: he's one of the most powerful and experienced mages in the entire group, second only to Karin herself.]] |
| 113 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: Used to be a black ops soldier working for the crown and the church, but after [[spoiler:burning down Agnès' village presumably to contain a plague but actually because they were Protestant]] he has renounced his former occupation and became a teacher. |
| 114 | * GadgeteerGenius: In contrast to many of his magical peers, Colbert is quite interested in science and technology, constantly looking for ways to merge the two for the betterment of everyone. This allows him to more easily recognize and understand the advanced technology that is from Earth, even if they are centuries ahead of his own prototypes. |
| 115 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Has this reaction once he realizes that Louise's summoning went horribly wrong, leading to her disappearance. As far as he's concerned, the only reason why it happened in the first place was because he gave her two extra chances instead of failing her after the first time. It fed into his decision to accompany the rescue party. |
| 116 | ** [[spoiler:He previously had this reaction following the destruction of the village of D'Angleterre. He had been ordered to burn it to the ground as it was supposedly consumed by plague. Although he tried to back out due to concerns about the plague's validity, the damage was already done and, in truth, there was no such infestation; the villagers were merely Protestant. This revelation led to him killing most of his former men and saving the only survivor, a young girl who just so happened to be Agnès, after which he retired from the military entirely.]] |
| 117 | * PlayingWithFire: A Square-class Fire mage. |
| 118 | * ProperlyParanoid: Colbert decides to [[spoiler:carry a gun after finding a firearms stash. He notes that the mages run a high risk of willpower exhaustion and he wants to ensure he can defend himself.]] |
| 119 | * TranquilFury: His reaction when finding out from Echo-Six regarding Umbrella's actions in creating the T-Virus that leads to Raccoon City being overrun by monstrosities. |
| 120 | [[/folder]] |
| 121 | |
| 122 | [[folder: Agnès de Milan]] |
| 123 | Princess Henrietta's stern bodyguard and close confidant with a dark past, Agnès was personally selected by her sovereign to be her representative in the rescue party. A skilled warrior and markswoman, Agnès is determined to bring Louise home, even if she must serve alongside mages she couldn't care less about. |
| 124 | ---- |
| 125 | * AmbiguouslyLesbian: Rumored to be one due to her tomboyish personality and complete lack of interest in men. |
| 126 | * AmazonBrigade: Is the leader of the all-female Musketeer Knights, whose primary function is serving as the Princess' personal bodyguards. |
| 127 | * BadassNormal: Even compared to the rest of the commoner contingent of the party, Agnès stands apart for being particularly noteworthy. [[spoiler:She's even killed mages in the past.]] |
| 128 | * BrutalHonesty: When Princess Henrietta asks her what she expects to face on the mission, Agnès immediately says casualties. |
| 129 | * DoesNotLikeMagic: Outside of Princess Henrietta herself, Agnès does not particularly care about mages or the institution of nobility. She especially despises Fire mages. [[spoiler:This is because a group of Fire mages burned down her home village when she was just a child under false pretenses, leaving her the sole survivor.]] |
| 130 | * IWarnedYou: [[spoiler:After the group finally killed a zombified Alphonse, Agnes doesn’t hesitate to give Karin hell for ignoring the signs their ally would turn]]. |
| 131 | * TheLeader: While Karin is the official leader of the party, most of the commoners respect Agnes more, especially the other Musketeers, since she is the leader of the Musketeer Knights. [[spoiler:This becomes more and more pronounced as the situation becomes more dire, not helped by the commoners acquiring modern firearms that level the playing field with the mages]]. |
| 132 | * NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: She saves the infected Alphonse from being shot by the gangster who notices Alphonse's state, which bites them back when the infected Alphonse [[spoiler: mutates into a draugr and kills one of her musketeers before being put down.]] |
| 133 | * ProperlyParanoid: [[spoiler:She doesn't trust Alphonse's claims to be fine after he was bitten, and secretly orders her fellow Musketeers to be ready to put him down if he turns. She is eventually proven correct, but by then it was too late as Alphonse turned into a water draugr and killed her fellow Musketeer, Claudette.]] |
| 134 | * SwordAndGun: Uses a sword and musket in combat. |
| 135 | * UndyingLoyalty: Unflinchingly loyal to Princess Henrietta, standing in sharp contrast to her opinions on practically every other noble in Tristain. |
| 136 | * WhatTheHellHero: When the infected Alphonse transforms into a [[spoiler:draugr]], Agnes immediately snaps at Karin for not listening to her suggestion to euthanize Alphonse [[spoiler: because of one of her fellow musketeers being killed in the process.]] |
| 137 | [[/folder]] |
| 138 | |
| 139 | [[folder: Kirche Augusta Frederica von Anhalt Zerbst]] |
| 140 | A fellow second-year student to Louise, Kirche was noteworthy for being her chief tormenter. When Louise disappeared, Kirche would normally have been content to let the teachers and faculty worry about getting her back. But when her best friend Tabitha is forced by the Gallian crown to infiltrate the rescue party, Kirche forces herself to come along as well. |
| 141 | ---- |
| 142 | * TheAtoner: Implied to be one of the reasons why she's going along with Tabitha on the mission, due to her directly calling out Louise's lack of participation in the summoning ceremony leading to her reverse summoning. |
| 143 | * ElementalHairColors: Her haircolor is bright red, meshing well with her status as a Fire mage. |
| 144 | * ElementalPersonalities: Called "the Ardent" due to her very passionate personality. |
| 145 | * FieryRedhead: Kirche is noteworthy for being very passionate and fiery, a sharp contrast to her best friend Tabitha. |
| 146 | * GoodBadGirl: Kirche's sexual exploits are well known throughout the academy, and she was the primary instigator for much of Louise's bullying. But, at her core, Kirche is a fundamentally good and loyal person to those she considers her friends. |
| 147 | * HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler:Left in this state after immolating a USS mercenary trying to capture them, only leaving it after the BossBattle against Alphonse when he turned into a water draugr.]] |
| 148 | * PlayingWithFire: Is a Triangle-class Fire mage. |
| 149 | * ProudBeauty: Knows that she's considered to be very beautiful and openly flaunts it. |
| 150 | * ReallyGetsAround: Tends to have a lot of flings with various boys in the Academy. |
| 151 | * RedOniBlueOni: The red to Tabitha's blue. |
| 152 | * TheseHandsHaveKilled: [[spoiler:Chapter 20 had Kirche burn an Umbrella soldier to death in self-defense. She was left in shock over what happened, which left her open for a brutal counterattack that nearly resulted in her death.]] |
| 153 | * ThisIsGonnaSuck: Kirche has this reaction once [[spoiler:Tabitha is ordered to insert herself into Louise's rescue party and report back. She knows it's a horrible idea that's likely to blow up in their faces, but she goes along with it anyway because she doesn't want Tabitha to go through with it alone.]] |
| 154 | * UndyingLoyalty: Kirche follows Tabitha on her mission because she refuses to leave her best friend alone regardless of how dangerous things could be. |
| 155 | * UnskilledButStrong: While she’s a talented Fire mage, [[spoiler:Kirche lacks the skills and mental toughness of the other rescue party members. That lack of abilities makes her far more of a liability]]. |
| 156 | * WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong: Kirche says this practically word for word when trying to placate a nervous Sylphid regarding their upcoming mission. As she puts it, both Kirche herself and Tabitha are powerful and skilled mages who should be able to handle nearly anything sent their way, and combined with the rest of the party they are going with they should be fine (unless they run into an elf, but she doesn't think this is likely). Unfortunately, Kirche is immediately proven ''dead'' wrong when a DescriptionCut shows Louise and Saito barely fighting off a horde of zombies. |

| 159 | [[folder: Tabitha]] |
| 160 | Secretly a member of Gallia's royal family, Tabitha (real name Charlotte Helene Orléans de Gallia) is a Chevalier knight for Gallia who for years had been forced to go on what were essentially suicide missions for the crown after her father was assassinated by her uncle and her mother poisoned in a follow-up attempt to kill her. Forced into infiltrating the rescue party and report back anything she finds to her uncle, Tabitha resigns herself for yet another mission, only to find that this one will be the most dangerous she has ever undertaken. |
| 161 | ---- |
| 162 | * BadassAdorable: Doesn't look like much, but Tabitha is an extremely skilled Wind mage with dozens of dangerous missions already under her belt by the time Louise reverse summons herself to Raccoon City. |
| 163 | * BlowYouAway: A Triangle-class Wind mage. |
| 164 | * BrokenBird: Before her father's death and her mother's poisoning (which drove her insane), Tabitha was a kind, sweet girl much like anyone else her age. Afterwards, she barely shows any emotion at all, not even to her closest friend Kirche. |
| 165 | * ChildProdigy: Is noted to be an exceptional mage, already a Triangle-class by the time she entered the Academy at fifteen years old. This was due to a combination of natural talent and intelligence as well as simple necessity. Tabitha had to become skilled at using magic, otherwise she would fail the missions given to her by her uncle and her mother would be killed. |
| 166 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: Her father, the Duke of Orléans, was the favorite to be the next King of Gallia following her grandfather's death. Had he succeeded to the throne, Charlotte would have become the Crown Princess. Unfortunately, her uncle had her father assassinated during a hunting trip, who then attempted to have her poisoned in order to tighten up any loose ends. Charlotte's mother realized what was going on just as the attempt occurred, taking the poison herself to protect her daughter which unfortunately destroyed her mind and drove her so insane that she no longer recognized Charlotte as her daughter, instead believing that Charlotte's favorite doll Tabitha was her daughter. Broken by the experience, Charlotte took the name Tabitha as her own, and since then has been completing suicide mission after suicide mission for the man who destroyed her family under threat of losing what little else she has left. |
| 167 | * EmotionlessGirl: Heavily suppresses her emotions as a coping mechanism following her family's destruction. |
| 168 | * AnIcePerson: Specializes in utilizing ice when in combat by combining her Wind magic with Water magic. |
| 169 | * MagicStaff: Instead of a magic wand like many of her peers, Tabitha uses a simple wooden staff to cast magic with. Her staff has extra importance to her as it was her father's. |
| 170 | * OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Her real name is Charlotte, but she prefers to go by the name Tabitha after her mother was poisoned. Tabitha was the name of her favorite doll whom her mother, in her broken and insane state of mind, believed was her actual daughter. |
| 171 | * TheStoic: Tabitha hardly shows any emotion, if at all. |
| 172 | ** NotSoStoic: Karin notes she has a very haunted look on her face after she scouted Raccoon City from the air. |
| 173 | * TheQuietOne: Doesn't talk a whole lot. |
| 174 | * RedOniBlueOni: The blue to Kirche's red. |
| 175 | * UsedToBeASweetKid: Tabitha, when she was young, was a very lively and outgoing girl. Then, once her father was murdered and her mother was poisoned into insanity, she became very quiet and withdrawn. |

| 178 | [[folder: Julio Chesaré]] |
| 179 | The right-hand and Familiar to Pope Vittorio, Julio was selected to personally represent the Pope's interest in bringing Louise back home. But, unbeknownst to the rest of the party, Julio and his master have other, darker intentions for her along with plans that leave Julio troubled yet determined to see through nonetheless. |
| 180 | ---- |
| 181 | * TheAce: Is an exceptionally good warrior, capable of keeping up with both mages and commoner soldiers with far more experience than him. This is amplified by the fact that he is the Vindálfr, able to control and direct non-sapient animals. |
| 182 | * TheBeastmaster: Due to him being the Vindálfr, Julio is capable of controlling any non-sapient creature. Only exceptionally intelligent creatures, such as humans, elves, and animals of similar intelligence like rhyme dragons, are immune to his commands. [[spoiler:It is theorized that he could even control T-Virus infected animals, but due to the need of having to make physical contact with the creature in order to control them, he deems the risk of infection too great to try.]] |
| 183 | * TheMole: Of a sort. While he's fully supportive of the overall mission to rescue Louise, [[spoiler:he's under direct orders from Pope Vittorio to gather as much information on Earth as possible. This is because the Church plans to launch a crusade against Earth to claim it for themselves, saving the people of Halkegenia from the upcoming Windstone Crisis. He's also ordered to insure that Louise's Void magic returns at any cost. Should she refuse to come home willingly, he's to kill her right then and there, allowing the Void magic to transfer to the next host. For his part, Julio is openly apprehensive of the crusade, only going along with it due to seeing no other option, and honestly wishes to avoid killing Louise if at all possible.]] |
| 184 | * UnexpectedKindness: Regardless of any misgivings he may have towards [[spoiler:Pope Vittorio's plan to invade the Holy Land, aka Earth, wipe out the natives, and claim the world for themselves, he still firmly believed that the natives of Earth were the Varyag and thus their enemy by default. While the attack and attempted capture by Umbrella seemingly cements this belief as truth, the rescue party's subsequent rescue by Echo-Six for purely altruistic reasons causes a great deal of confusion.]] |

| 188 | [[folder: Viscount Jean-Jacques Francis de Wardes]] |
| 189 | Captain of Tristain's elite Griffon Knights and Louise's fiancé, Jean-Jacques Francis, Viscount of Wardes, was the first to be selected to take part in the mission to rescue Louise. Wardes, however, houses a dark secret and hidden ambition that may threaten the very safety of Tristain itself. |
| 190 | ---- |
| 191 | * TheAce: Wardes is both an exceptionally powerful square-class Wind mage and an excellent swordsman, earning the respect of everyone. In fact, he was the first person Princess Henrietta and the Vallières nominated to participate in the rescue mission to Raccoon City. |
| 192 | * AristocratsAreEvil: Given how [[spoiler:Wardes is a traitor to Tristain and aims to use Louise for his own purposes]], he certainly qualifies. |
| 193 | * BlowYouAway: As a square-class Wind mage, he specializes in manipulating the flow of air to deadly effect. |
| 194 | * ShockAndAwe: Can generate electricity in combat with his magic. |
| 195 | * TheMole: [[spoiler:Unbeknowst to everyone, Wardes is a member of the Albionese rebel group Reconquista and has been supplying with them valuable intel for years while sabotaging Tristain's efforts to resist them, most notably revealing to them the existence of Henrietta's scandalous love letter to Prince Wales that would threaten her impending marriage to Emperor Albrecht III of Germania.]] |
| 196 | * NiceToTheWaiter: In contrast to the other nobles who, once they arrive at the Tristain Academy of Magic, have the commoner servants carry their gear without a second thought, Wardes packed light and carried it himself much to the servant's relief. Henrietta herself noted that Wardes was among the few nobles who didn't make commoner servants do everything for him, do many things himself. |
| 197 | * OfficerAndAGentleman: Wardes' public persona is one, maintaining a polite and respectful demeanor to everyone around him. Not just his fellow nobility but also the commoners underneath him. It's one of the many reasons why he is so admired. |
| 198 | * VillainWithGoodPublicity: Is well respected and admired by his peers, superiors, and the general public, but in truth [[spoiler:is a traitor to Tristain and works for Reconquista with the ultimate aim of overthrowing the Tristainian royal family and ultimately conquering the entire Halkegenian continent.]] |

| 201 | [[folder: Chevaliers Alphonse and Gabrielle de Hauet]] |
| 202 | A pair of Triangle-class Water mages and renowned for their skill in healing magic, the Hauet twins won praise for their military service during the last border skirmish between Tristain and Germania. With ample combat experience under their belt, and the need for healers deep in unknown territory paramount, the two were a natural choice for the rescue party. |
| 203 | ---- |
| 204 | * AngstySurvivingTwin: [[spoiler:Alphonse’s death leaves Gabrielle devastated]]. |
| 205 | * EliteZombie: [[spoiler:Alphonse turns into one after succumbing to the T-Virus which turns him into an ElementalZombie called a draugr. As a water draugr, he was able to still manipulate water even without a focus, albeit in a far cruder fashion. In this form, he ultimately takes the life of the last-surviving operator of USS Bravo Team and one of his former teammates after taking control of the water inside the Raccoon City Water Treatment Plant.]] |
| 206 | * HealingHands: Their specialty, using Water magic to heal the injured of their wounds. It was for this reason that they were selected to join the rescue party in the first place. |
| 207 | * IncurableCoughOfDeath: [[spoiler:Begins to cough after getting bitten by a zombified Erard. While he believes it stems simply from allergies, it indicates that he's been infected by the T-Virus, something that Agnès and the other commoner soldiers notice.]] |
| 208 | * MakingASplash: Are both Triangle-class Water mages.[[spoiler: When Alphonse finally turns, his draugr form still retains the ability to manipulate water, and can do it without a focus like mages normally need.]] |
| 209 | * OriginalCharacter: Neither have any canon counterpart and were created specifically for ''Familiar Evil''. |
| 210 | * RedOniBlueOni: Alphonse is much more serious and taciturn than his sister who tends to be much more open with her emotions. A key example was their arrival to the Tristain Academy of Magic, where Alphonse focused entirely on their surroundings as though threats could come out of everywhere whereas Gabriella was happy and eager to get the mission started. |
| 211 | * StakingTheLovedOne: [[spoiler: Gabrielle is the one who finishes off the mutated Alphonse, much to her despair. She vows to take revenge on Umbrella afterwards.]] |
| 212 | * TagTeamTwins: Alphonse and Gabrielle have worked together for the entirety of their military service, forming an effective pair. |
| 213 | * UnskilledButStrong: [[spoiler:Alphonse’s Draugr form was only capable of basic water manipulation but the sheer power and volume available - due to the fight being at a water treatment plant - made him a serious threat]]. |
| 214 | * ZombieInfectee: [[spoiler:Alphonse was bitten by the zombified Erard. While the wound was healed by his sister and his own claims that he's fine, his repeated instances of coughing indicate he's been infected. A local gang member confirms he's infected, though the party refuses to believe him. It takes both a USS squad and Echo Six confirming it, and by then it is too late, resulting in Alphonse turning into a water draugr and killing both Claudette and the last surviving member of the U.S.S. Bravo Team]]. |

For a mission as important as rescuing the wayward daughter of the second-most powerful family in the kingdom, trust and loyalty is hard to come by, which Baron Valluy has both in spades. |
| 219 | ---- |
| 220 | * AristocratsAreEvil: Averted. By all accounts, Baron Valluy is a jovial and friendly man who may look intimidating but is genuinely a nice guy. |

Young and with much to prove, Roselyne will stop at nothing to see her objective through, no matter what it may be. |

| 319 | * BadassNormal: Has no magical powers at all, yet is still an extremely capable warrior and is very skilled with his hammer. |
| 320 | * BrokenPedestal: Has this view towards Romalia and the Brimiric Church in general. His homeland, Hespéria, was under brutal Elven occupation for centuries and its people sequestered into ghettos before they managed to launch a successful rebellion to kick them out. The newly independent Kingdom of Hespéria, though, was shortlived as it was soon invaded and conquered by the Holy Empire of Romalia, becoming a new province and forcing many to flee across the continent. He, like many other Hespérians, never forgave Romalia for this betrayal and makes his hostility towards Julio and the Church open. |
| 321 | * HunterOfMonsters: Hunted monsters along the Tristian-Gallian border, mostly roque creations and experiments of Gallian mages. His years of experience enable him to quickly ascertain a creature's strengths and weaknesses, and how to put them down if need be. |

| 331 | Middle-aged Japanese immigrants to the United States and the heads of the Hiraga family, Satoshi and Sakura Hiraga gleefully accepted Louise de La Vallière into their home when she had nowhere else to go following her reverse-summon into Raccoon City. Satoshi Hiraga was a salesman for Sony, while Sakura Hiraga was an English teacher. Treating Louise as one of their own, they cared and provided for both teenagers until events outside of their control forced them and their children apart. |
| 332 | ---- |
| 333 | * GoodParents: By all accounts, Satoshi and Sakura Hiraga are genuinely good parents to their son, Saito, providing him with all the care and support that he needs. This extends to Louise herself after she takes up residence in their apartment, causing the young girl to grow a tremendous amount of affection towards them. |
| 334 | * HappilyMarried: The two have been happily married for decades and show no sign of any cracks in their relationship whatsoever. |
| 335 | * HeroicSacrifice: Sacrifices themselves to protect Saito and Louise from WOLFPACK after the Umbrella mercenaries break into their apartment to kidnap Louise. The last time Saito and Louise saw them, they were being subdued, with their ultimate fate left ambiguous. |
| 336 | * LockedOutOfTheLoop: Unlike their son, they were completely ignorant of Louise's true origins up until WOLFPACK attempted to kidnap her, instead believing that Louise was a foreigner from Europe who was the victim of human trafficking. It was only after Louise blew BELTWAY through a wall with her magic did they realize the truth. |
| 337 | * ParentsAsPeople: Although Satoshi and Sakura Hiraga are good parents, they are not perfect. The biggest example was their refusal to evacuate Raccoon City despite Saito's pleas for them to do so as the city descends into chaos, refusing to abandon their home in favor of waiting it out. |
| 338 | * ParentalSubstitute: During her time in Raccoon City, the Hiragas take this role for Louise as they feed her, care for her, teach her about their world and more. |
| 339 | * UncertainDoom: Were last seen in the clutches of WOLFPACK as Saito and Louise made their escape from their apartment. Although Saito and Louise genuinely believe they are dead, breaking both of their hearts, there is no concrete evidence to say that they are. Later on, LUPO even claims that Saito's parents are still alive and in their custody, offering to release them in exchange for Saito and Louise surrendering themselves. Due to LUPO having every reason to lie at this point, the teenagers do not believe her. |

| 346 | * AffectionateNickname: When he and Karin are alone, Karin often refers to him as "Sandorian", the name he went by when they first met while serving as mage knights in the Tristianian Army. |
| 347 | * DadTheVeteran: Served in the Tristainian Army, rising through the ranks to eventually become a general where he earned several accolades. |
| 348 | * DishingOutDirt: Is a Square-class Earth mage, and like his wife is extremely proficient in his use of magic. |
| 349 | * PapaWolf: Is fiercely protective of his daughters, to the point where, following Louise's disappearance, he angrily chews out the Academy staff for losing her. Had Karin not been there to calm him down, he might've struck them in his fury. |
| 350 | ** Gets even more pronounced once it is discovered that Kirche von Zerbst and Tabitha, along with Sylphid, infiltrated the rescue team and took the place of three commoners. Although he doesn't finish his declaration, he makes it abundantly clear that he is furious and, should his family die on this mission, would likely go to war against the Zerbst family over it. |
| 351 | * ParentsAsPeople: Genuinely loves his daughters, but due to his stern and disciplined nature, he doesn't always show his love and affection in the best way. It's one of the reasons why Louise ends up having so many issues, along with feeling overburdened living under his and Karin's shadows. |

| 354 | The current Pope of the Brimiric Church, ruler of Romalia, one of the Void Mages, and Julio's master. He has been essential in both explaining what has happened to Louise to Tristian and helping them travel to Earth to rescue her. Unfortunately, he also has his own reasons for wanting her rescued. |
| 355 | ---- |
| 356 | * BadassPreacher: He is both the Pope of the Brimiric faith and a powerful Void Mage. |
| 357 | * EveryoneHasStandards: While he does plan to turn Louise into a weapon, part of him genuinely hopes she's alive simply out of a sense of basic human decency. |
| 358 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: He wishes to turn Louise into a weapon and invade Earth, but wishes to do so not to increase his own power, but to save as much of Terre's population from the approaching Windstone Crisis, and is acting on incomplete information leading him to believe the people of Earth would try to wipe them out. |

| 361 | !The Umbrella Corporation |
| 362 | |
| 363 | [[folder: General]] |
| 364 | One of the largest and most powerful pharmaceutical companies in the world, by the late 1990s the Umbrella Corporation formed the heart of Raccoon City's economy, politics, and infrastructure. On the surface, they appear to be a well-meaning multinational conglomerate held in high esteem by the general public, particularly viewed by the residents of Raccoon City as the saviors of their home following an economic crisis. But the truth is far more sinister, as the Umbrella Corporation proves to be a ruthless MegaCorp devoid of morality and focused, above all else, on securing money and power for themselves. |
| 365 | ---- |
| 366 | * BadBoss: While they pay their employees well, that's the only good thing about working for Umbrella. Otherwise, they treat their employees like crap, having a poor safety record, constantly berating their employees for the most minor mistakes even if it was outside of their control, and completely disregard any complaints sent their way. Even when a Tyrant attacks Delta Team in the middle of a firefight between them and US Special Forces team Echo-Six, their response was to blame ''them'' for getting in its way. |
| 367 | * BigBad: Serves as the main antagonist of the entire story, being both the direct cause of the outbreak in the first place and creating many of the monsters that threaten the survivors in the city itself. They also sent U.S.S. Delta Team, or "Wolfpack", after Louise in an attempt to kidnap her for study. |
| 368 | * CutLexLuthorACheck: Their mainline pharmaceutical products, such as healing spray, are legitimately the best in the world. They could've simply continued to sell them legally and amassed untold amounts of profit. Instead, Umbrella decided to delve into making bioweapons that turn people into zombies. |
| 369 | * EvilInc: One of the most famous in all of fiction. A perfect example was their response to the T-Virus outbreak, where they sent their forces in not primarily to rescue survivors (although the U.B.C.S. was doing just that[[note]]Though canon revealed Umbrella sent the U.B.C.S. as [[UnwittingPawn Unwitting Pawns]] to test how effective their bioweapons were[[/note]]) but instead to secure any evidence of them being at fault and using it as a prime opportunity to test their "products." |
| 370 | * ItIsDehumanizing: Refers to Louise exclusively as "Subject Zero," study her for her magic which, prior to her arrival to Raccoon City, had never been observed. Before the Outbreak, they were content with gathering small samples under the guise of routine medical procedures. Once the Outbreak begins, they decide to use the opportunity to outright kidnap her for more direct and unobstructed experimentation. [[spoiler:They have similar designations for the members of the Rescue Team]]. |
| 371 | * MegaCorp: The Umbrella Corporation, over the span of decades, amassed large quantities of wealth and power, coming to effectively dominate the pharmaceutical industry. After an economic crisis nearly brought Raccoon City into bankruptcy, Umbrella used their favorable position to bail the city out in exchange for effectively controlling the city's infrastructure, including utilities, media, emergency services, and eventually both city hall and law enforcement. By the time the T-Virus Outbreak begins, they effectively ''control'' Raccoon City, with only a handful of people aware of the truth. |
| 372 | * SkewedPriorities: They tasked the extremely skilled Wolfpack with kidnapping Louise while their base of power is crumbling and their public image is in freefall, rather than task them with helping coverup their crimes, and are so obssessed with having them capture her that it is creating more evidence and witnesses to their crimes. |
| 373 | * StupidEvil: While most of the USS members are quite intelligent, the company leadership and USS Command are very much this, having the USS all but declare war on the ''US Army'' in Raccoon City, wasting manpower by having the Wolfpack focus on capturing Louise when they have far larger things to worry about, and sending in Tyrants that are almost impossible to control and are so poorly programmed that they mistake USS agents for US Army special forces. Justified, since, as LUPO notes, the situation in Raccoon City has rapidly spiralled out of control and the company is panicking. |
| 374 | * VillainWithGoodPublicity: Before the T-Virus Outbreak, Umbrella was held in high esteem by the residents of Raccoon City. Saito even defended them when Louise expressed skepticism over how much control they seemed to have over the city itself. [[spoiler: That reputation is completely destroyed following the T-Virus spreading across the city, with the survivors and US Government blaming them for everything and causing the company to go into damage control mode.]] |

| 377 | [[folder: Dr. William Birkin]] |
| 378 | Formerly of the top scientists of the Umbrella Corporation, and the creator of the G-Virus, Dr. William Birkin worked for Umbrella for decades, being a major contributor to the development of the T-Virus. But, after his contributions to the company were ignored one too many times, he attempted to betray the company and sell his creation to an outside party. When Umbrella caught wind of his treachery, their attempt to apprehend him would result in him getting mortally wounded, forcing him to inject himself with a sample of the G-Virus to save his life. This decision set into motion a chain of events that would see him transform into an inhuman monster known as G and bring about the downfall of Raccoon City to his creations. Saito and Louise, while attempting to escape Raccoon City through the sewers, accidentally come across him, forcing them to run for their lives while Birkin pursues. |
| 379 | ---- |
| 380 | * AdaptiveAbility: His G-Virus infection grants him immense regenerative abilities. Despite being shot in the head by Saito in an attempt to put him out of his misery, his wound healed in a matter of seconds. |
| 381 | * AdmiringTheAbomination: Was fascinated and obsessed with his creation, the G-Virus. |
| 382 | * AssholeVictim: While he certainly did not deserve the fate he received, Dr. Birkin was instrumental in the research and development of both the T-Virus and the G-Virus, two of the deadliest bioweapons mankind has ever created, along with all sorts of unethical experiments the Umbrella Corporation conducted. |
| 383 | * AxCrazy: The G-Virus has completely warped Birkin's mind, making him attack and try to kill anyone he comes across. |
| 384 | * BodyHorror: The G-Virus has warped and mutated his body to a horrifying degree, making him resemble something out of Film/TheThing1982. |
| 385 | * CarryABigStick: Walks around with a massive pipe that he ripped out of the wall he uses as a club. |
| 386 | * FightingFromTheInside: Part of Birkin is still inside when he's infected by the G-Virus and he attempts to both stop himself and beg for a MercyKill. Unfortunately, his attempts at control are fleeting, at best. |
| 387 | * EvilutionaryBiologist: Helped create the T-Virus and created the G-Virus himself. |
| 388 | * EyesDoNotBelongThere: In his G-1 form, he has a massive eye on his right shoulder. It being open is an indication that he is no longer in control of his body. |
| 389 | * GrandTheftMe: The G-Virus has done this to him, turning Birkin into an animalistic monster. |
| 390 | * HealingFactor: Capable of healing from several bullet wounds in his chest and even a headshot like they were nothing. |
| 391 | * HeroicWillpower: While Birkin pre-infection was far from heroic, whenever he does manages to regain control of his body post-infection he uses it to try and prevent himself from hurting anyone else, such as Saito and Louise. |
| 392 | * LaserGuidedKarma: Dr. Birkin was responsible for the destruction of dozens, if not hundreds of lives prior to his defection from Umbrella, relishing in his "achievements", only to be shot, left for dead, and forced to turn himself into a monster where he's trapped in a cycle of endless pain and suffering. |
| 393 | * LastNameBasis: On account of Saito and Louise not knowing his first name, they exclusively refer to him as Birkin. |
| 394 | * MadScientist: Par for the course for the Umbrella Corporation. |
| 395 | * NighInvulnerability: Thanks to his HealingFactor and bulk, courtesy of the G-Virus, Birkin is nearly indestructible to small-arms fire. He was able to completely destroy U.S.S. Alpha Team despite being subjected to copious amounts of firepower, and not even a headshot from Saito's pistol could put him down. |
| 396 | * RoaringRampageOfRevenge: First thing Birkin did after infecting himself with the G-Virus was to hunt down Alpha Team for both shooting him and stealing his G-Virus. Unfortunately, by the time he got to them, he was no longer Birkin. |
| 397 | * SplitPersonalityTakeover: The G-Virus completely unbalanced himself, resulting in Birkin developing a SplitPersonality: the intelligent Dr. Birkin and the monstrously violent G. Most of the time, G is in control of his body and its grasp only increases with each passing moment. |
| 398 | * WasOnceAMan: Before getting infected with the G-Virus, Birkin was just a normal middle-aged man. |
| 399 | * WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: He wasn't the most stable person to begin with, but getting infected with the G-Virus made it much, much worse. |

| 401 | !!!Umbrella Security Service |
| 402 | [[folder: General]] |
| 403 | The elite paramilitary forces unit employed by the Umbrella Corporation, the U.S.S. is tasked with carrying out their most vital and clandestine operations. They are highly trained, well-armed, and extremely dangerous to anyone who gets in the way of their mission. |
| 404 | ---- |
| 405 | * CanonForeigner: Played with. While the Umbrella Security Service as a whole is certainly canonical, the members of U.S.S. Delta Team, aka Wolfpack, hail from the non-canon game ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilOperationRaccoonCity'' instead of a canonical entry. |
| 406 | * CodeName: All U.S.S. operators are assigned one, and when on the field it is policy to exclusively call each other by their code names. This is both out of a sense of operational security, as well as foster feelings of detachment towards their squadmates should they be killed while in the line of duty. |
| 407 | * EliteMooks: They are given the best gear and best training of any mercenary employed by Umbrella. [[spoiler:A team of them manages to easily ambush and capture the Rescue Team with only a single casualty]]. |
| 408 | * GasMaskMook: Part of their standard kit in order to protect the wearer from potential infection. |
| 409 | * OnlySaneMan: They collectively are this to the folks in charge of Umbrella and their researchers. They realise how stupid their bosses are, put survival over their orders and their personal feelings, and several make it clear they are ditching Umbrella the moment they make it out of the city. [[spoiler:Bravo Team refuses to inform their bosses that Alphonse is infected, as they know there's a high chance they will order the team to let him turn [[ForScience to see what happens]], and make it clear they don't care if killing him affects their paycheck]]. |
| 410 | * PunchClockVillain: While none of them are good people, almost every U.S.S. member we meet has little loyalty towards Umbrella beyond their paycheck and Umbrella being their only ticket out of the city with their freedom intact. And the latter reason is rapidly becoming the main reason any of them are still following orders to any degree. |
| 411 | * VillainousFriendship: U.S.S. operatives may be amoral corporate wetworks specialists, but it is made clear that most of them care about each other. [[spoiler:The only reason Kirche survives after killing a member of Bravo Team is because they consider their continued survival and the mission to be more important than their feelings, and even then they aren't happy having to spare her, barely managing to convince one of their members not to kill her]]. |

She is still a ruthless mercenary hellbent on capturing Louise, both for a massive payday and to ensure that they can get out of the Hell that is Raccoon City. |
| 416 | ---- |
| 417 | * AFatherToHisMen: Places the health and security of her team above anything else. |
| 418 | --> '''LUPO:''' You know the order of importance: survival, the mission, ''then'' pride. That's what's kept us alive all these years, and I won't let a sixteen-year-old girl mess that up. |
| 419 | * MamaBear: Fiercely protective of her team, desiring to keep them alive above all else. |
| 420 | * PunchClockVillain: Is simply going after Louise and Saito because that is her current job. She holds no real satisfaction in doing so. |
| 421 | * WouldHurtAChild: Despite being a parent herself, LUPO is perfectly willing to kidnap Louise. Not out of actual malice, but simply because it is her job. Later, the added motivation of Louise's capture likely being their ticket out of Raccoon City further drives her pursuit. [[spoiler: She openly admits that she would love to follow BERTHA's suggestion of outright abandoning their pursuit of Louise once she and Saito flee into the sewers, but it is only the knowledge that, without Louise, Umbrella is unlikely to extract them that makes her stay the course.]] |

| 424 | [[folder: Vladimir Bodrovski '''(SPECTRE)''']] |
| 425 | The closest thing to a second-in-command behind LUPO, SPECTRE is a former FSB agent and currently serves as Delta Team's sniper and marksman. He is an excellent shot and consummate professional, dedicated to fulfilling his job while getting him and his team out alive. |
| 426 | ---- |
| 427 | * ColdSniper: Is the team's marksman, and tends to be emotionally detached while on the field. |
| 428 | * GogglesDoSomethingUnusual: In addition to helping him aim his rifle at long range without a scope, SPECTRE's goggles grant him thermal imaging capabilities and night-vision. |
| 429 | * PunchClockVillain: Holds no real animosity towards Louise and Saito, simply trying to apprehend them both because it is his job and because doing so is the only way to get out of the city. |
| 430 | * WouldHurtAChild: Perfectly willing to kidnap Louise and hand her over to Umbrella, who would doubtlessly conduct horrific experiments on her, simply to get paid. |

| 435 | ---- |
| 436 | * AsianAndNerdy: Is Japanese-American and the most scientifically literate on the team. |
| 437 | * TheBeastMaster: Can use grenades filled with pheremones to attract zombies and B.O.W.s to specific areas or attack targets. She cannot, however, prevent them from attacking her and her teammates. |
| 438 | * LackOfEmpathy: Displays little to no empathy for Umbrella's victims. |
| 439 | * PunchClockVillain: Holds no real animosity towards Louise and Saito, simply trying to apprehend them both because it is her job and because doing so is the only way to get out of the city. |

| 446 | * ClickHello: Tends to do this when coming out of cloak. |
| 447 | * InTheHood: Wears a hood over his combat uniform. |
| 448 | * InvisibilityCloak: His armor is covered in photoreactive panels that can turn him invisible. |
| 449 | * KnownOnlyByTheirNickname: Unlike the others, he does not have a given name, exclusively being referred to by his code name. |
| 450 | * NotSoAboveItAll: Despite his professional attitude, even he reacts with incredible disgust upon seeing (and smelling) Gorge's corpse. |
| 451 | * PunchClockVillain: While the most openly loyal member of the team towards the Umbrella Corporation, mostly in terms of getting the job done, ultimately he only holds real loyalty to himself. The only reason why he initially goes after Louise is because he was paid to do so, initially finding no real enjoyment in it and finding the task somewhat beneath him. After Lousie and Saito put them through hell during their escape, however, those feelings subside. |
| 452 | * WouldHurtAChild: The most willing of the team to actively fight and harm Saito and Louise, nearly giving Louise a concussion during their first encounter and beating Saito to near death in the Raccoon City Mall. |

| 455 | [[folder: Michaela Schneider '''(BERTHA)''']] |
| 456 | Formerly a German military doctor, BERTHA now serves as Delta Team's field medic and is tasked with both keeping her teammates in the fight for as long as possible as well as staving off possible T-Virus infection. She is, however, just as proficient in causing pain as she is in treating it. |
| 457 | ---- |
| 458 | * BattleaxeNurse: While she is completely devoted towards keeping her teammates alive, BERTHA has no such qualms against inflicting grievous bodily harm to her enemies. In fact, she revels in it. |
| 459 | * HerrDoktor: Is a German doctor, complete with a thick accent. |
| 460 | * NotSoAboveItAll: Considering she is a medical professional who is also a veteran mercenary and works for a Bioweapons company, she's not exactly a squeamish person. But upon seeing (and smelling) Gorge's corpse, she is just as overwhelmingly grossed out as VECTOR. |
| 461 | * PunchClockVillain: Holds no real loyalty towards Umbrella and is simply going after Louise and Saito because she is getting paid to do so. [[spoiler: That being said, when Louise and Saito flee into the sewers, she does suggest lying to Umbrella and saying that they lost them. Not out a desire to protect the children, rather because she ''knows'' the kind of horrors calling the sewers home and does not want any part of it.]] |

| 469 | * BadassBandolier: Wears a grenade belt filled with high explosives. |
| 470 | * TheBrute: Somewhat of a subversion. While BELTWAY is the largest and most physically imposing of the team, he's by far the most professional out of all of them, second only to LUPO and SPECTRE. He's also able to keep his emotions in check far more than VECTOR. |
| 471 | * PunchClockVillain: While all of Delta Team sees their service with Umbrella in this manner, BELTWAY is the most open about it. He holds no real animosity towards Louise during their pursuit of her, and while he does gain some animosity towards her after, among other things, getting blown up by her, he's mostly able to keep his emotions in check. |
| 472 | * WouldHurtAChild: Despite finding no real enjoyment in it, BELTWAY is perfectly willing to kidnap Louise and hand her over to Umbrella for experimentation so that he can both get handsomely paid and extracted out of Raccoon City. |

| 476 | Also known as Mr. Death, HUNK is Umbrella's Number 1 operative. Leader of the ill-fated Alpha Team sent to retrieve the G-Virus and Dr. William Birkin, Saito and Louise briefly encounter him in the sewers beneath Raccoon City, battling his way through zombies and B.O.W.s to retrieve the remaining samples of the G-Virus after his team was wiped out by an infected Birkin. |
| 477 | ---- |
| 478 | * TheAce: Easily Umbrella's best non-SuperSoldier operative, and it shows in his brief appearance. |
| 479 | * BadassNormal: Due to possessing no biological augmentations or magic of any kind, HUNK definitely qualifies for this. |
| 480 | * TheCameo: Hunk has (so far) only appeared briefly in the story, fighting through a swarm of Zombies single-handily to retrieve an intact sample of the G-Virus, and only notices Saito and Louise once he's achieved his objective, themselves only having run into him by accident. Luckily for them, HUNK is either unaware and/or uncaring of Umbrella's plans to capture and experiment upon Louise, only wanting to finish the mission that got his team killed and get out. So, while being bemused and wary of the two teenagers who've stumbled into his path, Hunk simply backs away and begins finding his way out of the sewers. For their part, Saito and Louise wisely choose not to engage after seeing his display of strength and skill. |
| 481 | * {{Determinator}}: Despite barely surviving the encounter with Birkin that killed his team and having played witness to the T-Virus Infestation of Raccoon City since its earliest stages, and therefore having encountered every zombified creature and freed Bio-Organic-Weapon let loose in the sewers, HUNK remains undaunted in his mission to acquire the last sample of the G-Virus. |
| 482 | * OneManArmy: HUNK is just one man, having neither been blessed with magic nor biologically augmented, and he managed to survive the better part of a week in the sewers of Raccoon City(arguably the most dangerous area of the city following the release of the T-Virus), and still accomplish his mission while simultaneously fighting his way through a horde of zombies, and dodging Birkin as well. Saito and Louise are stupefied and terrified at the sight of this man-monster before them, and [[WordOfGod TRESTWHO says it best:]] |
| 483 | --> HUNK is an RE Protagonist-level combatant working for the villains. Even if [[InstantExpert Saito]] and [[PoweroftheVoid Louise]] had their full arsenal/powers on hand, they'd be hard pressed to take the guy out. He's that badass. |

| 488 | The government of the United States of America, the country which Racoon City calls home. When the T-Virus is unleashed upon Racoon City, they quarantine Arklay County and send in Special Forces teams to gather evidence of Umbrella's involvement in the incident and evacuate survivors. |
| 489 | ---- |
| 490 | * BigGood: Played with; while the USA certainly has its share of skeletons in its closet, as with real life, they are firmly dedicated to saving lives, stopping the spread of the disease, and bringing the Umbrella Corporation to justice. |
| 491 | * DeathFromAbove: The USAF is providing air support to the Army in Raccoon City. [[spoiler:Echo Six reveals they were forced to call in an airstrike to finally kill the Tyrant that seperated them from Louise and Saito, and mention that the military nearly had Slyphid shot down on several occasions, thinking it was a flying BOW]]. |
| 492 | * QuarantineWithExtremePrejudice: The US Army has been deployed in force to keep the zombies from escaping from Arklay County into the rest of the country, [[spoiler: and, as per canon, [[ItsTheOnlyWayToBeSure are preparing to hit the city with a prototype thermobaric missile]].]] |
| 493 | ** Though it is important to note that their version of the quarantine is considerably more humane than most traditional examples; another objective for the Special Forces being sent into Racoon City is to locate survivors and direct them towards fortified evacuation sites (or directly evacuate them out in the case of witnesses against Umbrella; such as Saito and Louise) to help them escape. [[spoiler:The games also establish that they started broadcasting warnings to survivors about the missile strike at least a day in advance, telling them to evacuate]]. |

| 498 | ---- |
| 499 | * CanonForeigner: Like Delta Team, Echo Six hails from the non-canon game ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilOperationRaccoonCity'' instead of a canonical entry. |
| 500 | * CodeName: Each member of Echo Six has a callsign that they use. In contrast to the U.S.S. though, who make it a point to only refer to each other as their codenames, Echo Six use each other's names openly and frequently. |
| 501 | * ElitesAreMoreGlamorous: Most of the regular US Army units that actually went into Raccoon City (as opposed to manning the quarantine) have been overrun and either wiped out or forced to retreat. Echo Six, on the other hand, has been fighting in the city for days on end, even facing down Tyrants and purposefully going into dangerous areas like Umbrella labs, and all without a single casualty. |
| 502 | * GoodCounterpart: Each member of Echo Six corresponds to a member of U.S.S. Delta Team and are completely heroic. This is proven when they encounter Saito and Louise, immediately attempting to evacuate them then, when Delta Team attacks their position, provides covering fire to allow the teenagers to escape. [[spoiler:They prove to be this to the U.S.S. in general, when they rescue the Rescue Team from U.S.S. Bravo Team using some of the same tactics Bravo Team used to capture the Rescue Team]]. |
| 503 | * HelmetsAreHardlyHeroic: In sharp contrast to the U.S.S., all of whom wear various pieces of headgear that cover part or their entire face, the members of Echo Six leave their faces open and exposed. |

| 511 | * GoodScarsEvilScars: Has a small scar right below his right eye, but is a firmly heroic man. |
| 512 | * TheLeader: A levelheaded and very experienced one. |
| 513 | * NervesOfSteel: Even when trapped in the utter hell that is Raccoon City, Captain Jettingham is more than able to keep his cool. It literally takes a literal Tyrant arriving in the middle of a firefight between Echo Six and Delta Team for him to even begin to lose his composure. |
| 514 | * OhCrap: Lets out one when a Tyrant descends upon him while completely shrugging off the hail of gunfire sent its way. |
| 515 | * StraightGay: While he doesn't openly show it, Jettingham's codename of DEE-AY is a shorthard for Don't Ask, itself a reference to the infamous U.S. Military policy Don't Ask, Don't Tell. |
