Umbrella Security Service
In General
An elite internal security group which provides and manages all security operations for Umbrella Corporation.
- Badass Crew: Holding their own against hundreds of Umbrella's finest bioweapons for ten hours straight while receiving no casualties whatsoever is nothing short of remarkable.
- Evil Counterpart: To their Echo 6 counterparts.
- Faceless Goons: All the squad members have some form of face concealment.
- Final Boss: The final battle sees them turn against each other for a three-on-two fight between Leon S. Kennedy and his defenders and the two squad members trying to see the mission through. The player can pick either side.
- Gas Mask Mooks: Usually by way of respirator masks; which is justified by the fact that the T-Virus can go airborne under certain conditions.
- Heel–Face Turn: At the end of the game the Player Character and a teammate can choose to side with Leon and Claire, turning against Umbrella for their earlier betrayal.
- Hired Guns: They're a group of paid mercenaries with a contract from Umbrella to clean up in Raccoon City.
- Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal: Whether or not they're only in it for a big payoff or something else entirely, keep in mind that they really have no loyalty with Umbrella and screwing them over is never the wisest decision. One of the two endings involves them telling Command to piss off after his attempt to dispose of them fails, with the surviving team members vowing to gut Umbrella from the inside-out.
- Multinational Team: Lupo is French, Vector is Japanese, Four Eyes is Japanese-American, Bertha is German, Beltway is Puerto-rican and Spectre is Russian.
- The Psycho Rangers: To Echo 6. Each of the members has a specialty that is mirrored by a member of Echo 6 in a less sociopathic way.
- Villain Protagonist: Operation Raccoon City's marketing centered around them, with press detailed around them. Although you can make them pull a Heel–Face Turn at the end.
VECTOR
"Who do we kill next?"
HUNK's protege, whom "Mr. Death" personally trained on Rockfort Island. VECTOR (real name unknown) is the epitome of the perfectly disciplined soldier, able to sneak through enemy lines and commit the most atrocious actions imaginable. VECTOR's disdain for individuals who are "beneath" his skill range from ignoring the unworthy to shamelessly sacrificing them during operations - a trait shared by his mentor.- Audible Gleam: The flashlight on VECTOR's rifle produces one as he raises it to within inches of the camera in the Triple Impact Trailer.
- The Apprentice: After VECTOR fought HUNK to a standstill in hand-to-hand combat, the latter took VECTOR on as an apprentice and personally oversaw his continued training. It paid off; even when blindsided by Dee-Ay and knocked to the ground, VECTOR is able to instantly take control of the fight and defeat the special forces soldier in seconds using only his hands and feet.
- *Click* Hello: Pulls one off on Dee-Ay in the Triple Impact Trailer, using his gear to sneak up beside him before re-appearing with a gun levelled at the side of his head.
- Co-Dragons: Along with SPECTRE, he seems to be the second-in-command of the squad.
- In the Hood: VECTOR's heavily-customized uniform includes a hooded jacket made of cloaking material that enables his invisibility.
- Invisibility Cloak: VECTOR's signature ability lets him turn invisible for a period of time. Does not work on B.O.Ws, though.
- Only Known by Their Nickname: Unlike his team members, his true name is never given, only his call sign. He probably got the idea from his mentor.
Vladimir Bodrovski (SPECTRE)
"I can see... everything..."
Voiced by: David Cooley, Noboru Yamaguchi (JP), Alberto Olivero (Italian)
Vladimir Bodrovski was an excellent FSB agent, able to blend in and take the scene as it were. Unfortunately, his taste for blackmailing his targets and handlers soon landed him unwanted attention from both his superiors and the Russian mob. He escaped his home country, and fled into the waiting arms of Umbrella and the USS, who have chosen to employ his abilities as a combat scout.Role: Surveillance
- Goggles Do Something Unusual: Abilities include threat scanning, biothermal vision (ability to pick out human and other targets from crowds), and sonar vision alongside passive item and enemy proximity detection.
- No Party Like a Donner Party: Implied in this little tidbit from Mission 2:Vector: "Ugh... Looks like they were eating each other..."
Spectre: "Try surviving Soviet winter. Maybe you won't be so quick to judge."
- Verbal Tic: Speaks with frequent mid-sentence...pauses. Even when they don't make...much sense. Matter of fact, he talks so slowly that in the ending where Leon is saved, mission control begins talking over him before Spectre's done talking.
Hector Hivers (BELTWAY)
"This was supposed to be fun!"
Voiced by: Ramon Fernandez, Jiro Saito (JP)
The demolition expert of the USS Delta Team. A former member of the U.S. Armed Forces, his predilection for insubordination ultimately led to him being dishonourably discharged, whereafter he found a new career with Umbrella and the USS.Role: Demolition
- Artificial Limbs: His left leg is a prosthetic.
- Badass Bandolier: Wears a grenade belt.
- The Brute: Beltway's the biggest and bulkiest of the Wolfpack and while by no means unintelligent, he's probably the most straightforward in terms of tactics.
- Noodle Incident: Exactly what got him discharged from the US Army is never elaborated on, save that it was how he got his prosthetic leg.
- Punch-Clock Villain: One of the few members of the team who isn't a complete sociopath; he enjoys his job, but still sees it as nothing more than a job.
- Sir Swears-a-Lot: Beltway is probably the most overtly foul-mouthed of his teammates.
- Stuff Blowing Up: Beltway's specialty is causing things to go boom, reflected in gameplay by his skills all revolving around using different kinds of explosives. Even his Brutal Kill involves sticking a grenade into a zombie's mouth before pushing it away.
Michaela Schneider (BERTHA)
"This will only hurt a moment!"
Voiced by: Lydia Look, Yoko Somi (JP)
Delta Team's field medic. Her work in the civilian sector was unsuited to her approach; however, the no-nonsense approach applied by the USS during their field operations makes her a "perfect" field medic in Umbrella's eyes. Despite being considered a "field medic", BERTHA should not be considered defenceless. She has the making of a killer, and it is only her love of inflicting pain which stays her hand.Role: Medic
- Battleaxe Nurse: Pre-release info states she prefers treating wounded without painkillers.
- Frau Doktor: Bertha's the team's bloodthirsty field medic, complete with a noticeable German accent.
- Hopeless with Tech: Type 2. "I'm terrible with the computers..."
Christine Yamata (FOUR EYES)
"This is all so fascinating..."
Christine Yamata, or FOUR EYES to her teammates, is a genius with a penchant for virology and the science which drives their development and cultivation. Her inability to curry empathy like a normal person makes her an amoral - and completely objective - experimentalist and field technician. For the USS, such traits are an asset, rather than a liability.- The Beast Master: Can control BOWs with her special abilities for a short amount of time.
- The Corrupter: Induce Infection has a chance to infect humans, including Player Characters, and turn them into Crimson Heads on your side.
- The Evil Genius: She's the team's field technician and B.O.W handler, with the smarts to match.
- Intelligence Equals Isolation: It's mentioned that due to her extreme interest in science as a child, she never developed the social skills to operate successfully later in life.
- Irony: For a professional virologist, FOUR EYES is the only member of the Wolfpack to have exposed eyes, which is a surefire way to get yourself infected in an environment like Resident Evil.
- Lack of Empathy: She is detached from all normal human emotion.
- No Social Skills: Being devoted to science even as a young child, she lacked the social skills needed to operate later in her life, resulting in her employment with Umbrella, who saw no issue with that.
- Non-Indicative Name: She calls herself FOUR EYES, but is one of the team members without any goggles.
- Playing with Syringes: Her penchant for B.O.W creation aside, FOUR EYES' skillset revolves around using a syringe gun or t-Virus pheromones to infect enemy soldiers, direct B.O.Ws against her foes, or create antiviral sprays for her team's use.
- Science Villain Protagonist: As mentioned above, her skillset revolves around Playing with Syringes; and she is set to spawn with SAW-type weapons if your character doesn't.
Karena LesProux (LUPO)
"We take our chances."
Karena LesProux, codenamed LUPO, is probably the most psychologically stable member of USS Delta Team, although that's not the whole story. Murdering her husband was something she did out of necessity in order to protect her children. Although she was acquitted of the crime, her training as a GIGN operative meant there were only a few options for her in the private sector. Thankfully, Umbrella valued her talents, and offered her a life-time contract that guaranteed the financial future of not just herself, but of her children as well. Her motherly over-protectiveness has extended to her team of USS operatives. It is unknown how the possibility of casualties may affect Lupo's mental stability.- Big Bad: A downplayed example. She's the field leader of the Wolfpack, but she's mostly a Punch-Clock Villain obeying marching orders from her much more overtly sociopathic commander, who serves as the main (if offscreen) villain of the USS campaign.
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Killed her abusive husband for trying to harm their children; indeed, her decision to sign up with Umbrella was motivated mainly by a desire to provide for them. LUPO's relationship with the Wolfpack also has shades of this, with her treating them similarly to her children.
- Mama Bear: To both the team and her own children. She's even called "Wolf Mother". In her backstory, she was married to an abusive husband, and put up with it until he turned his abuse on one of their children, after which she snapped and killed him with her bare hands.
- Meaningful Name: Her name means "wolf" in Italian, fitting for the head of the Wolfpack.
- A Mother To Her Men: LUPO treats the Wolfpack similarly to her children, expecting discipline and obedience from them while maintaining a strong emotional bond with all of its members. The Wolfpack, for their part, seem to reciprocate this.
- Punch-Clock Villain: Holds no particular loyalty to Umbrella, and only fights for them to support her family.
- Team Mom: Her bio reveals the rest of the team call her "Wolf Mother," in reference to her emotional bonds with the team and leadership style, which is stated to be the same as that with her children.
- Token Good Teammate: At least, less mentally unstable than the other USS soldiers.
Command
- "Government forces have already entered the area. Do not let them secure evidence!"Role: Mission Control
- Ax-Crazy: He is incredibly mentally unstable and a hair trigger away from cracking completely, going from "unnervingly calm" to "screaming in fury and threatening people with death" within moments.
- Big Bad: Since Wolfpack is essentially a team of Co-Dragons serving Umbrella's interests, Command is the main, true bad guy of the game. This becomes particularly pronounced after he backstabs Wolfpack, as he starts actively trying to get the team killed while also cleaning up Umbrella's mess, making him antagonistic to pretty much everyone.
- Bad Boss: Command constantly sends the Wolfpack on increasingly dangerous missions, all while verbally berating them for failing to live up to perfect standards. When they fail a single objective he flies completely off the handle and cuts the Wolfpack off before sending in a huge horde of Hunters and Tyrants to eliminate them.
- Evil Brit: Judging from his accent, he's British. He's also a sociopathic, violently unstable authoritarian arsehole and the Big Bad of the Wolfpack's campaign.
- Hair-Trigger Temper: All it takes is one failed order for them to go from instructive and authoritarian to Ax-Crazy, screaming in rage at the Wolfpack before cutting communications and leaving them for dead.
- Mission Control: He's the unseen figure giving Wolfpack their mission objectives.
- Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Depending on the player's choice, his betrayal of the Wolfpack may be the catalyst for them turning on Umbrella, which saves Leon and Claire's lives.
- The Sociopath: Cruel, malicious, has a disturbing Lack of Empathy, and quite low functioning considering that he doesn't even bother with trying to be Affably Evil or even Faux Affably Evil. His You Have Failed Me on the team also lets in on the fact that he sees them as tools to be discarded on a whim if they fail to live up to perfect standards.
- You Have Failed Me: After Wolfpack fails to kill Leon on his orders, Command replies by cutting their communications and air-dropping dozens of B.O.Ws right onto their heads. The only reason he backs down is because his superiors decided Command was too harsh on the Wolfpack, and even then he's very obviously reluctant to take them back on board.
Government Spec Ops / Echo 6
In General
- Action Survivor: You wouldn't know it to look at them, but a lot of their training is in domestic situations (Dee-Ay and to some extent Harley being exempted), and it's unclear just how much field and combat experience Party Girl, Shona, and Tweed have. As a whole, they're a little less hardened than the USS strike team.
- For instance, Party Girl is clearly flagging by the end of the campaign and everyone wants to get out of dodge; in-game dialogue will have them fearful and confused at a few points, and they have little to no idea what to do with the zombie apocalypse. That said, the hail of bullets you're likely pumping out renders this trope all but invisible.
- Distaff Counterpart: Their sniper, demolition specialist, and stealth expert are female, and their leader, medic, and scientist are male; this is the opposite for the USS team.
- Helmets Are Hardly Heroic: Unlike the USS Squad, nobody on the Spec Ops team is wearing face masks or helmets.
- Miles to Go Before I Sleep: Echo Six wants out after finally evacuating Leon, Claire, and Sherry. Unfortunately, Command needs them for further missions and reluctantly orders them to stay behind to continue fighting in Raccoon City.
Crispin Jettingham (DEE-AY)
"Working as a team... that's the only way out of here."
Crispin 'Dee-Ay' Jettingham has been a soldier for as long as he can remember. He was the government's top choice for leader of the Echo Six team. Always calm and collected, he is a true soldier and is highly skilled and efficient with his weaponry and orders.- The Ace: He's been a soldier so long, he has experience with just about any weapon and the know-how to handle any combat situation.
- The Captain: He acts as one, though its unclear what his actual rank is.
- Child Soldiers: Or so it is implied.
- Good Scars, Evil Scars: Has a small one below his right eye.
- The Leader: Levelheaded variation.
- Nerves of Steel: Due to the sheer amount of experience in combat that he has. The Spec Ops trailer shows that blown to hell, though.
- Oh, Crap!: He has two great ones in the Triple Impact teaser trailer.
- Straight Gay: You wouldn't know it from anything that happens in the game, but according to his creator
, his callsign stands for "Don't Ask." - Super-Soldier: All his abilities sort of veer in that direction, including one by that very name.
Erez Morris (HARLEY)
"I don't get paid enough for this."
Voiced by: Gregg Berger, Naomi Kusumi (JP), Antoine Tomé (French)
A foul-mouthed ex-biker, Erez 'Harley' Morris joined the service in order to avoid going to jail. Excelling in medicine during Operation Desert Storm, Harley unexpectedly became one of the best medics in the field. Always putting other's lives before his, he will always do his best to make sure no man is left behind.Role: Medic
- Badass Biker: His background
- The Big Guy
- Character Development: Harley found his calling as a healer rather than a fighter during the Gulf War, and gained with it no small amount of compassion.
- Cool Shades: Wears them backwards, for some odd reason.
- Dark and Troubled Past: He was about to be sent to jail before he joined the army.
- The Medic
- Combat Medic: Just as likely to throw-down.
- Hidden Depths: Despite his experience with violence, the army brought forth a facility for medicine and for helping others. To everyone's surprise, he eventually became a leader in those fields.
- No One Gets Left Behind: A philosophy he developed while in the Gulf War.
- Sir Swears-a-Lot: Comes with being a biker.
- Trading Bars for Stripes: Enlisted in military to avoid serving time in jail.
Lawrence Kimbala (SHONA)
"Move quickly; they are vulnerable!"
Voiced by: Imari Williams, Masato Funaki (JP)
Exposed to death at a young age, Lawrence 'Shoba" Kimball began a career treating diseases in his home country of Zimbabwe. After his father's death, he attended Harvard medical school where he realised he had a skill for controlling viruses instead of curing them. He joined the Army's special weapons program as their foremost expert in virology.Role: Field Scientist
- Dark and Troubled Past: Judging by the amount of scars he has, and the fact that he grew up in war-torn Zimbabwe.
- Eye Scream: His right eye is gray and likely blind, as a scar runs over it.
- Harmful to Minors: He was dealing with corpses since he was a kid.
- Good Scars, Evil Scars: His head is covered in some notably long ones.
- Playing with Syringes
- Start of Darkness: It's unclear just where his morals lie, but while at Harvard, his interests changed from curing diseases to manipulating viruses.
- Token Evil Teammate: He's a little bit more amoral than the rest of Echo Six, being similar to Four Eyes in character.
Marisa Ronson (TWEED)
"Quiet... second only to the sound of a deafening explosion."
Voiced by: Tess Masters, Aki Unone (JP)
Before joining the U.S. Army's Echo Six team, Marissa 'Tweed' Ronson worked with the Secret Intelligence Service, the United Kingdom's secret service-equivalent. The U.S. Army sought her membership in their ranks because of her unique demolitions expertise.Role: Demolition
- Action Bomb: Some of her abilities make it a viable-ish strategy, devastatingly useful when cornered but very risky.
- Boisterous Bruiser
- Career-Ending Injury: She suffered an injury during a demo-job with the SIS that lead to her being taken out of active duty. (See Screw This, I'm Outta Here below.)
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: In her backstory, she dropped off the radar after a demo-job with SIS went pie-shaped before the US managed to coax her out of retirement.
- Shell-Shocked Veteran: The reason for the above Screw This, I'm Outta Here. She's more or less over it during the game, though.
- Small Girl, Big Gun
Caroline Floyd (WILLOW)
"Why are we twiddling with our guns? Let's go!"
Voiced by: Rebecca Riedy, Akiko Koike (JP)
Caroline "Willow" Floyd developed her skill for speed and elusion growing up alone on a reservation in Montana. She joined the Army straight out of school, excelling as part of the Special Forces. Never satisfied with herself, Willow continues to hone her skills each and every day.Role: Recon
- Injun Country: She grew up alone on a reservation, and learned combat and stealth there before she was ever in the military, which she joined straight out of high-school.
- The Perfectionist: Possibly as a result of growing up in harsh conditions, she is always keeping her skills sharp.
Sienna Fowler (PARTY GIRL)
"Some party this turned out to be."
Voiced by: Catherine Taber, Yuka Keicho (JP)
The story behind Sienna Fowler's codename originates from her "wild" parties she organised for businessman and officials in her youth. The reason for this was to record incriminating behaviour and information, which would then be sold to the highest bidder. After she managed to dupe the US Federal Government's top surveillance expert at one of her parties, she was offered a job. How she became a sniper is unknown.Role: Surveillance
- Artistic License – Military: Her outfit exposes her navel, which is odd, considering the US Military doesn't allow that in real life.
- Candid Camera Prank: Her specialty in her youth; she apparently threw wild parties for the upper-elite class and sold the footage to the highest bidders (it's unclear whether it was useful intelligence on those tapes or...something else). Regardless, she outsmarted some actual surveillance experts and was recruited afterwards.
- Deadpan Snarker
- Friendly Sniper: To counter Spectre, she's a lot more upbeat. It's even in her name.
- Fun Personified
- Recruiting the Criminal: She was offered a position in the military after a lengthy blackmailing career.
Command
- "There's more than just the common cold going around down there."
- Big Damn Heroes: At the end of The Places We're Meant To Die, Echo Six find themselves facing multiple Tyrants (which will transform to Super Tyrants once they're damaged enough). Spec Ops Command promptly sends in the big guns.Spec Ops Command: ECHO SIX: A Paracelsus Rail Gun is arriving in 3...2...1...
* Cue super-massive 15 foot tall laser cannon smashing through the roof* - Benevolent Boss: Compared to USS Command, who's a cruel, malicious lunatic, he's quite affectionate towards his team and also helps them rather than spur them on with threats of death.
- Big Good: He's the main driving force behind the Spec Ops missions to rescue survivors caught in the infected zone that is now Raccoon City.
- Foil: To USS Command. While USS Command is a cruel, malicious, borderline-sociopathic asshole who constantly threatens Wolfpack with death if they fail, Spec Ops command is a Reasonable Authority Figure who tries his best to encourage them while maintaining their well-being. This is particularly pronounced during The Places We're Meant To Die - Spec Ops' Command responds to a horde of B.O.Ws attacking the team by dropping a BFG in to help them, while USS Command drops in more B.O.Ws to ensure his team will die.
- Mission Control: He's the one giving Echo Six their marching orders throughout the game.
- Reasonable Authority Figure: In stark contrast to USS command, Spec Ops mission control works with the team and is willing to bend mission objectives if it means saving a few lives.
- Southern-Fried Genius: He handles all the intel and is quick with the mission directives. All with a soothing Southern accent.
