* KickTheSonOfABitch: Her decision to infect and mutate Simmons can best be described as this. It's pretty hard ''not'' to cheer her on for it when we remember that this is the guy who killed the President and destroyed Tall Oaks while framing Leon and Helena for both, and also held Helena's little sister hostage to {{blackmail}} Helena into helping him do so and then experimenting on her with the C-Virus regardless. And this is used on her in turn by Simmons' followers who snipe her, forcing her to undergo a freakish mutation where she eventually gets killed by Ada.
** although indirectly, the same methodology can also be applied to Mother Gracia and her students of the Marhawa Desire chronicle. Handing Bindi a prototype of the C-Virus pathogen as a means of testing her little science experiment gave well overdue punishment to a lot of truly despicable people and brought a number of vile acts committed on schoolgrounds to light. Granted, Carla had no qualms in mocking the mutagenically disfigured Bindi after she'd been thoroughly floored by the BSAA. The actions of said MadScientist enabled a broken heart to gain vengence and find closure for the death of her friend.

* DomesticAbuse: There are many times he had abandon his girlfriend and even steals her weapon despite being in a gunstore filled with other weapons. Judging by the prayers of a woman in the church who may be related to Nancy, Peter is already a horrible boyfriend before the outbreak.

** a similarly surprising bit of empathic connectivity was shared with just one other before the game even came out. Bindi from Resident Evil: Marhawa Desire paints her as a manipulative but still willful benefactor to the grieving teen turned anarchical mutant for wanting to so chaos at her own board of education. This maybe downplayed as she could've just been using her to further her own C-Virus research, see Kick The Dog above.

* SpeakIllOfTheDead: When she and Jake meet in Edonia, Carla has absolutely zero qualms against referring to the late Albert Wesker as a "colossal imbecile" and a "fool." Keep in mind that Wesker is Jake's son, though Jake himself has no love for the guy either.

* PresidentEvil: Completely averted. He is a good man and a ReasonableAuthorityFigure who wants to come clean about the Raccoon City incident to the world, including the U.S. government's part in it, so they can all move forward and start working together to fight bio-terrorism.



* NonActionBigBad: She's more of a schemer than a doer. Of course, she's more than capable of getting her own hands dirty, as she both personally oversees Jake and Sherry's capture and infects Chris' entire squad. This gets averted in Ada's campaign where she goes OneWingedAngel and is fought and killed by Ada.

* ControlFreak: Simmons desire for what is a rather dilapidated ideal of abject order just goes to shows how much of a domineering tinhorn he well and truly is. It's telling just how monstrous the series of events that played out ended up revealing the man to be, given every bad decision made that begat those DisasterDominoes came from every horrific deed he committed.



* ItsAllAboutMe: Whenever he states what he did, he did for the sake of preserving the world stage. Simmons always makes it out like he's the epicenter at the heart of which it balances on, placating just how much of a self-absorbed ass he well and truly was.



* KickTheDog: He [[spoiler:holds Helena's little sister hostage in order to force her into helping him in his plan… and even when Helena plays her part, Simmons decides to be a rat bastard and use Deborah as a C-Virus guinea pig]].

Had the ObstructiveBureaucrat not betrayed what could've been his rebound girl, utilizing the very thing that bought endless chaos and instability on the world stage to do it, as a guinea pig just to have a facsimile of his misconceived Lost Lenore.

Carla/Ada never would've flipped on his ass, all the repugnant conspiracies fabricated to [[EagleLand keep America Strong]] wouldn't have imploded like they had and the chaos he tried so hard to circumvent wouldn't have come barreling through his front door the way it did, dragging it all down along with him.

* ConsummateLiar: Simmons seems to have a knack for lying, to himself especially, about triggering and concealing his own grimy little conspiracies for his own selfish agendas. Lying to Deborah about her sisters wellbeing, lying to Sherry about the nature of current events, lying about the sterilization effort behind Racoon City. The guys first and only real impulse is to lie to high heaven about most everything he does.

* DisproportionateRetribution: What his murder of the U.S. President adds up to, its even lampshaded by Helena towards the end of the game. In order to prevent a misconceived level of havoc certain revelations might've entailed had Benford gone through with his veracity speech. Simmons masterminded an actual crisis to preempt a plausible one, from which things only further spiraled out of Simmons control due to a litany of poor choices made along the way.
-->'''Helena:''' So to avoid one possible disaster, you create another? No matter how many people die!?



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

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Carla's ultimate goals would've gone off without a hitch if not for her own self-destructive need to rub salt on the wounds of everyone involved in her TragicMonster beginning.
