A former Second Lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps Force Reconnaissance, Billy is sentenced to death by a military court for massacring 23 people[5] in murky circumstances during a mission in Africa. Billy's flashbacks imply he is innocent and the victim of a cover-up.[6][7] He escapes en route to his execution and seeks refuge in the Ecliptic Express, a stranded train, where he meets Rebecca Chambers. The two form an alliance in order to survive, using their talents to discover the Umbrella Corporation's secrets.[8] Both characters are monitored by the Queen Leech-James Marcus hybrid, who sends various creatures to subdue them.

Jake was caught up in an act of bioterrorism while operating in anti-government operations in the fictional Eastern European republic of Edonia. His mercenary comrades are infected with the C-virus, but Jake's specialized blood resists the infection.

The Umbrella Corporation is an American-based international pharmaceutical company in the Resident Evil universe. Founded in 1968 by prominent British royal descendants Oswell E. Spencer and Edward Ashford, along with Dr. James Marcus, it is portrayed in the series as a major international player in pharmaceutical goods and medical supplies, along with more clandestine operations utilizing genetic engineering. Their legitimate status is only a front for their secret research of "bio-organic weapons" (B.O.W.s), developed through the use of a unique mutagenic virus discovered by the company founders known as the Progenitor Virus.[14]
Oswell E. Spencer

- Voiced by (Japanese): Issei Futamata (REmake 3)
- Motion capture: Adam D. Clark (RE5)
Oswell E. Spencer (オズウェル・E・スペンサー) is the owner and co-founder of the Umbrella Corporation, a pharmaceutical drug company that secretly manufactures bio-organic weapons.[16] With limited funding to exploit the flower and its virus, Spencer designs a seemingly benevolent front organization known as Umbrella Pharmaceuticals to accrue revenue so that his machinations on the virus may continue. His colleagues, James Marcus and Edward Ashford, join his company.[16] Through a series of betrayals and espionage, Spencer quickly gains control of the company and its research, and sends subordinates to assassinate Marcus and Ashford.[17][18] Spencer conducts some of his company's research in the Arklay Research Facility, located in the Arklay Mountains. He hires George Trevor, a famous architect, to construct a mansion to conceal the facility, however, with Trevor knowing the secret to the mansion he had just built, Spencer has the architect targeted for assassination and proceeds to abduct Trevor's wife and daughter, having them become test subjects for virus research and development.[19] Trevor's daughter Lisa would become a promising specimen for new fields of bio-exploitation, experiencing much torment and mutilations in the process. Spencer's plans progress smoothly until Marcus returns from the dead through the Queen Leech as absorbing his genetic memory,[20] motivated by revenge to destroy one of Spencer's luxury trains and cause a viral outbreak in the Arklay Research Facility.[21] The outbreak spreads throughout the region, sparking the events of Resident Evil Zero and the original Resident Evil. The virus subsequently spreads to Raccoon City during the events of Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, prompting the U.S. government to attempt to contain the outbreak by ordering the destruction of the city.[22]
After the city's destruction, Spencer attempts to disguise the incident as a government conspiracy by hiring top lawyers and false witnesses. His actions prolong the legal proceedings and allow the Umbrella Corporation to stay afloat for five more years. Ultimately, Albert Wesker betrays Spencer by handing over secret documents to the U.S. government while providing personal testimony in court.[23] Spencer becomes a wanted man and goes into hiding at his mansion in Europe. Wesker kills Spencer before Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine can arrest him.[24]

After developing the T-Veronica virus, Alexia infected herself with the T-Veronica Virus and goes into cryostasis for several years, allowing her to gain control of the virus and retain her personality. She is awoken by a dying Alfred during the events of Code: Veronica. In revenge for this, she sends one of her tentacle monsters to capture Claire and Steve, experimenting on the latter and turning him into a large monster. She is confronted by Albert Wesker towards the end of the game and mutates into her first form, driving him off but is then defeated by Claire's brother Chris. Alexia revives and appears at the very end of the game as the final boss, mutating into another two forms before Redfield kills her for good with the Linear Launcher. Alexia also appears in The Darkside Chronicles as part of a reimagined scenario for Code: Veronica.

Carlos Oliveira (カルロス・オリヴェイラ, Karurosu Oriveira), the second main character of Resident Evil 3,[32] is a mercenary and a former member of a South American communist guerrilla group. After the government forces wiped out his organization, Carlos was scouted out by the Umbrella Corporation to join Umbrella's UBCS. He joined the force and was assigned to Delta Platoon, Company A (serving alongside Nicholai Ginovaef and Mikhail Victor), which was in charge of heavy firearms and weapons maintenance.[32] Despite his violent background, he is warm-hearted and known for joking around.[33] In Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, Carlos assists Jill Valentine throughout the game as the two of them attempt to escape Raccoon City. After she becomes infected by the T-virus after a battle with the Nemesis, he recovers a vaccine to treat her and successfully escapes the city with Jill. In the remake, Carlos' role as a playable character is expanded upon, including a brief excursion to the Raccoon City Police Department. He also appears as a playable character in The Umbrella Chronicles, where the events of Resident Evil 3 are revisited in the "Raccoon's Destruction" scenario.
In the Resident Evil movie franchise, Carlos' surname is spelled "Olivera".[34] His character plays a similar role to his video game counterpart as a disgruntled Umbrella mercenary. In Resident Evil: Apocalypse, he is briefly infected with the T-virus, but Alice finds a sample of the antivirus in time to cure him. In the third film, he and Alice parted company five years ago when Alice sought to protect her allies from the Umbrella satellites tracking her, but they meet again when he is travelling with a convoy led by Claire Redfield. When Carlos is bitten during an attempt to capture Alice, he volunteers to mount a suicide run on the Umbrella complex tracking Alice after it takes a series of prisoners from the convoy, reasoning that there is no time to get a sample of the antivirus before the infection becomes permanent, taking a fuel tanker into the mass of zombies surrounding the base and then setting off a series of bombs, taking out a sizeable number of zombies and breaching the complex defenses.
Mikhail Victor
[edit]- Voiced by (English): Benedict Campbell (RE3), William Hope (REmake 3)
- Voiced by (Japanese): Naoki Tamanoi (REmake 3)
- Motion capture performance by: William Hope (REmake 3)
Mikhail Victor (ミハイル・ヴィクトール, Mihairu Vikutōru) is the leader of the UBCS Delta platoon that both Nicholai and Carlos are members of. According to his backstory, Mikhail is from Saint Petersburg, Russia, and had originally served in the army before joining a rebel group. Mikhail was eventually arrested by Russian government forces and convicted for acts of terrorism. He was then coerced into leading the UBCS in exchange for his men's freedom.[35] In the game, he appears already wounded, choosing to sacrifice his own life to save Jill and Carlos as he dies after being blown apart by his own grenade in a failed attempt to destroy the Nemesis. In an early draft of the story, Mikhail was originally scripted to be Nicholai's older brother, hence their common nationality and close ages (his original name was Mikhail Ginovaef).[35] Mikhail also appears in the game's remake, maintaining the same role as the original game, in addition of knowing Jill's identity as a member of a defunct S.T.A.R.S. team, and suspicious about Nicholai's true motive. He is the only one of the main UBCS operatives not to appear in the film Resident Evil: Apocalypse, where he is replaced by an original character named Yuri Loginova.
Nicholai Ginovaef
[edit]- Voiced by (English): Roger Honeywell (RE3), Rick D. Wasserman (Operation Raccoon City), Neil Newbon (REmake 3, Resistance)
- Voiced by (Japanese): Rikiya Koyama (Apocalypse, TV dub) Kenta Miyake (Operation Raccoon City, REmake 3)

- Played by: Zack Ward (Apocalypse)
Nicholai Ginovaef (ニコライ・ジノビエフ, Nikorai Jinobiefu, a mistransliteration of the actual Russian name "Nikolai Zinoviev") is a member of the UBCS Delta platoon, Company B. According to his backstory, Nicholai is from Moscow and served in the Russian Spetsnaz before joining the UBCS. He also has an unspoken rivalry with HUNK. In Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, Nikolai is one of the few surviving operatives from the Delta platoon, along with Carlos and Mikhail. He disappears after an event in the first half of the game and is presumed dead until another encounter with him. It is revealed that Nikolai is in fact one of the Supervisors UBCS operatives, assigned to watch and gather combat data as their comrades fight against Umbrella's bio-weapons. Nicholai's fate depends on decisions made by the player, resulting in either his escape or death, either at the hand of Jill or the Nemesis. In the Resident Evil 3 remake, Nicholai is changed to a mole implanted within the UBCS for an unnamed organization. Hired to mitigate the company's efforts to contain the T-virus outbreak, he murders research staff and tries to gain and destroy a virus vaccine. In the final confrontation with Jill and Carlos, he is injured and left behind in Raccoon City. The English localization of Resident Evil Survivor features a document supposedly authored by Nicholai after the events of Nemesis. The file is different in the original Japanese version and the Chinese localization of the PC port. The third entry of the document (the portion dated after the events of Nemesis) was actually authored by the "Umbrella B.O.W. Development Staff", rather than Nikolai.[36] Nicholai also appears in Resident Evil Outbreak in the final scenario "Decisions, Decisions", which depicts the character conducting another mission occurring during the same time period as the second half of Resident Evil 3. He is mentioned in The Umbrella Chronicles, where he is referred to by the codename "Silver Fox". Nicholai's role in Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City was stopping Wolfpack from completing their mission objective.
The character was adapted for the film Resident Evil: Apocalypse, although the film features a more heroic depiction of Nicholai, which differs from the game's original antagonistic portrayal of the character. In the film's novelization, he was renamed Nicholai Sokolov. Nicholai is ultimately torn to shreds by zombie dogs while holding them off so Alice and Jill can escape.
HUNK
[edit]- Voiced by (English): Keith Silverstein (The Umbrella Chronicles, The Darkside Chronicles, Operation Raccoon City, Revelations, REmake 2)[37]
- Voiced by (Japanese): Masaki Terasoma (Operation Raccoon City, Revelations, REmake 2)
HUNK (ハンク, HANKU) is an enigmatic special forces agent of the Umbrella Security Service unit in Resident Evil 2.[38] His notoriety for being the sole survivor of multiple operations earned him the moniker 'Grim Reaper'.[39][40] HUNK initially appears in Resident Evil 2, where he is playable in a secret minigame titled "4th Survivor". This short scenario entails HUNK's journey to escape Raccoon City, beginning with his awakening in the sewers and eventually leading to his extraction from the city. He is the only member of his unit to survive the attack of the mutated William Birkin that takes place shortly after he secured a sample of the G-virus for Umbrella.[38] He reappears in The Umbrella Chronicles, in a remake of the "4th Survivor" scenario where the player must reach the helipad for extraction from Raccoon City, and during the "Memories of a Lost City" scenario in Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles.[41] HUNK is playable in the "Mercenaries" minigame in Resident Evil 4, but has no relation to the story.[41] HUNK appears as a side character in Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City, where he works with other Umbrella Security Service operatives to recover a sample of the G-virus prior to the events of Resident Evil 2. He is also a playable character in Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D, Resident Evil: Revelations, and Resident Evil: Revelations 2.

The main antagonist of Resident Evil: Revelations 2, an Umbrella researcher who quotes Franz Kafka and developed the T-Phobos virus, which causes those infected to mutate when overcome with fear. Alex is the only other surviving participant of the Wesker project besides her “brother” Albert Wesker despite lacking Albert's heightened abilities. Alex uses her position in Umbrella to establish a facility on the impoverished Sejm Island, kickstarting an economic recovery while exploiting the residents to be her test subjects for T-Phobos Project that Spencer assigned her as a means for him to cheat death. But Alex is spurred by her failing health to instead develop a method to transplant a digital copy of her mind into a host body able to resist fear. Hastening her work after learning of Spencer and Albert's deaths, Alex exploits Neil Fisher with the Uroboros virus she was refining to provide her with candidates from TerraSave, with only Claire Redfield and Moira Burton the sole survivors of her experiments.
Alex also captures Natalia Korda as her ideal host, disposing of Fisher before proceeding with her experiment before committing suicide with the expectation to awaken as Natalia within six months. But she is instead mutated by the T-Phobos at the last second from fearing her own demise, suffering an existential crisis with the maddened resolve to kill Natalia before her copy could manifest by releasing the Uroboros virus on the island as Barry arrived. After infecting herself with the Uroboros, Alex is killed during the BSAA's assault on the island. Regardless of Alex's death, her copy starts manifesting as depicted in the bonus episode "Little Miss" and the game's epilogue.

Annette Birkin (アネット・バーキン, Anetto Bākin) is a supporting character in Resident Evil 2. She is involved in Bio Organic Weapon research at Umbrella, working with her husband William to create the G-virus. During the Raccoon City outbreak, Annette works to stop Umbrella's experiments from spreading further into the city. She leaves their daughter Sherry at the Raccoon Police Department with a pendant containing the virus, hoping Irons can protect her. During the game's events, Annette helps Claire cure Sherry's G-virus infection and reveals Ada's true motives to Leon. She is fatally injured, forcing them to leave her behind. Annette appears in the game's remake, maintaining the same role as in the original game, and its retelling in The Darkside Chronicles.
In the reboot film Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City (2021), Annette is played by Janet Porter.
James Marcus
[edit]- Voiced by (English): Ian Downie (RE0)
- Voiced by (Japanese): Hiroshi Ito (RE0)
- Played by: Mark Simpson (The Final Chapter)
James Marcus (ジェームス・マーカス, Jēmusu Mākasu) is the main antagonist of Resident Evil Zero. Years before the events of the first Resident Evil, he was one of the top virologist researchers of the Umbrella Corporation and a head of its personnel training facility, personally appointed by Oswell E. Spencer to work with the Progenitor virus. In this capacity, Marcus played an integral role in developing the T-virus (Tyrant virus), and the Tyrant and Nemesis programs, also conducting extensive research on leeches that led to the development of the G-virus, up until his death in 1988.[48] Spencer betrayed him by sending Marcus' direct subordinates, Albert Wesker and William Birkin, to murder him and steal his research.[17] They dumped his body away along with the Queen Leech that Marcus created, the creature consuming his body and ended up absorbing his genetic memory as consequence. This resulted in the Queen Leech believing itself to be Marcus reborn.[20] Serving as the antagonist of Resident Evil Zero, The Queen Leech avenges the real Marcus by triggering the events of the first Resident Evil game by causing a T-virus outbreak in the Arklay Mansion before being destroyed by Rebecca Chambers and Billy Coen.[21] Marcus also appears in The Umbrella Chronicles.[49]
In the film Resident Evil: The Final Chapter (2016), James is played by Mark Simpson. In the film, it is revealed that Alice is a clone of James's daughter, Alicia Marcus. In the Netflix's live-action series (2022), set in its own universe but featuring the game series storyline as its backstory, James Marcus has a daughter named Evelyn, played by Paola Núñez, who inherited control of Umbrella.
William Birkin
[edit]- Voiced by (English): Diego Matamoros (RE2), T.J. Rotolo (The Umbrella Chronicles, The Darkside Chronicles, Operation Raccoon City, REmake 2), Misha Standjofski (Dead by Daylight)

- Motion capture: T.J. Rotolo (REmake 2)
- Played by: Jason Isaacs (RE), Neal McDonough (Welcome to Raccoon City)
William Birkin (ウィリアム・バーキン, Wiriamu Bākin) is one of the main antagonists in the Resident Evil series, specifically Resident Evil 2. After completing his G-virus project (Golgotha virus), he is mortally wounded by agents of the Umbrella Special Forces and his work is stolen. Left for dead, he injects himself with the G-virus, thus turning himself into a monster known as "G". He then kills his attackers, causing a T-virus vial to be leaked into the city's drainage system, resulting in the zombie outbreak in Raccoon City. During the course of the game, he encounters the main characters, Claire Redfield and Leon S. Kennedy, as he undergoes gradual mutation and begins losing any resemblance of his original human form. He is eventually defeated by Claire and Leon, with the help of his daughter Sherry. Birkin is mentioned in Wesker's Report as the scientist who helped Wesker fake his death and is retroactively mentioned in the GameCube remake of the first Resident Evil. He also makes an appearance in Resident Evil Zero, where he assists Wesker from behind the scenes, and also appears in a cutscene in The Umbrella Chronicles along with Albert Wesker.[50]
In the first Resident Evil film, Birkin makes an uncredited cameo appearance portrayed by Jason Isaacs as the head of the Nemesis project, who was also the film's narrator. According to an audio commentary by Paul W. S. Anderson, Isaacs was planned to reprise this role in the sequel Resident Evil: Apocalypse, but left the project for undisclosed reasons, so an original character named Dr. Alexander Isaacs (played by Iain Glen) was created to fulfill Birkin's role in the sequel.
In the reboot film Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City (2021), Birkin is played by Neal McDonough, appearing as the main antagonist of the film.[51]

- Face Model: Adam Crosman (RE6)
- Portrayed by: Wataru Kuriyama (stage play)
Piers Nivans is a member of the North American Branch of the BSAA in Resident Evil 6. He is a talented marksman, who served under Chris Redfield during the Edonian Civil War in 2012. On one of their missions, Carla Radames infects their comrades with the C-virus and turns them into mutants. Chris is knocked unconscious in the ensuing battle but is rescued by Piers. Chris becomes disillusioned and disappears after recovering. Piers tracks down Chris and successfully convinces him to rejoin the BSAA to avenge his dead comrades. They are deployed to Lanshiang, China and tasked to stop a bio-terrorism attack. The duo are eventually led to an underwater laboratory that is being used to create powerful bio-organic weapons. Piers is severely injured during their final battle with the B.O.W., Haos, and injects himself with the C-virus to continue fighting. After he and Chris manage to defeat the Haos, they then attempt to escape the laboratory during its self-destruction sequence, but after realizing that he is beginning to succumb to the C-virus, Piers seals Chris inside an escape pod in order to ensure his survival, while he stays behind during the laboratory's destruction to prevent himself from mutating any further, sacrificing himself in the process. Right before his death, Piers manages to save Chris from the still-alive Haos by killing it as it attempts to destroy the escape pod Chris is in. Chris honors Piers's memory by remaining with the BSAA (when before, Chris thought of retiring and leaving Piers in charge).[52] Piers is mentioned by name during the epilogue in Resident Evil: Revelations 2, as he is in China with Chris.

His backstory further reveals that he was also the former Umbrella Corporation's researcher prior to working for Los Illuminados, with the files revealing he was involved in the creation of the Nemesis. It is also indicated that Luis grew up in the village, though left after his grandfather died from an injury sustained in a wolf attack (suggested to have been under the result of a Plaga infection). Luis assists Leon in several additional sections, such as escaping the mines underneath Salazar's castle. Unlike the original game, he is killed by Jack Krauser rather than Saddler.
Mia Winters
[edit]- Voiced by (English) and motion capture performance: Katie O'Hagan[87][103]
- Voiced by (Japanese): Akari Higuchi[88][104]
- Face model: Savannah Daniels
Mia is the spouse of Ethan Winters, the main character in Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. A researcher for a criminal organization called The Connections, Mia was tasked with escorting a bio-weapon called Eveline to another facility. But the tanker crashes in a Louisianan swamp during a hurricane, with Mia infected by Eveline as they end up with the Baker family. As the result of her infection, Mia lashes out at Ethan when he came looking for her. From that point on, Mia works with a woman called Zoe (who is revealed to be a Baker) and Ethan tries to save them by receiving hints from Zoe when she telephones him, while Ethan is having to deal with constant attacks perpetrated by the other Bakers. After using one of the two serums Zoe created to kill Jack Baker, Ethan used the remaining vial on Mia as they are forced to leave Zoe behind. The two end up at the remains of the tanker, Mia regaining her memories while resisting Eveline to give Ethan samples from Eveline to develop a toxin to kill her with. She is reunited with Ethan after being rescued by BSAA agents, later giving birth to Rosemary while not telling Ethan the truth that he was infected with the Mold as they moved to Eastern Europe.
In the events of Resident Evil Village, Mia is abducted by her former colleague Miranda, who assumed her identity to steal Rose as a vessel for her lost child Eva. Mia ends up being rescued by Chris and revealing Ethan's altered nature when told that Jack Baker killed him. After Ethan permanently died destroying the megamycete, Mia raised Rosemary while Chris would later train the girl in using her abilities.

Natalia Korda is a playable character in Resident Evil: Revelations 2. A young survivor of the Terragrigia panic who lost her parents in the incident, she was saved by Neil Fisher and placed in a home before she was among those he abducts for Alex Wesker's selection experiment to transfer a copy of her mind into an ideal host able to suppress their fear. Natalia traveled with Claire and Moira before Neil spirits her away when Alex decides to make the girl her host, placing her in a deep sleep for the process before committing suicide.
Awakening six months later, with the copy of Alex's mind appearing before her as Dark Natalia while looking for her teddy bear Lottie, Natalia meets Barry Burton immediately when he arrives on an island to search for Moira. Natalia aids Barry by detecting monsters, go through small passageways, and using bricks as projectiles when not evading monsters. But Natalia is stalked by Alex, who mutated and survived her suicide with a maddened resolve to kill the girl before she fully awakens as her copy. Barry adopts Natalia following the ordeal, with the copy of Alex's mind appearing to be taking over as Natalia reads a piece by Franz Kafka while smiling.

- Motion Capture Performance by: Ken Lally (REmake 2 ), Neil Newbon (REmake 3)
- Voiced by (Japanese): Hideki Tanaka (REmake 2, REmake 3)
Robert Kendo is the owner of a gun store in Raccoon City. He and his brother Joseph are responsible for creating the Samurai Edge pistols used by S.T.A.R.S. members. In the original Resident Evil 2, he briefly appears in the opening of Scenario A, allowing the player to stay in his gunshop for protection. However, zombies soon break in and devour Kendo, leaving a weapon for the player to pick up. In the remake, Robert had brief reunion with Jill, before confronting Leon S. Kennedy and Ada Wong when the two latter attempt to pass through the shop to reach the sewers. It's also revealed he has a daughter, Emma, who he tries to protect from the outbreak. However, she is infected and Robert is forced to kill her. Kendo also appears in the game's The Ghost Survivors DLC as the player character in "No Time to Mourn". A non-canonical scenario, it follows him as he attempts to escape Raccoon City.[105][106] He also appears in The Darkside Chronicles, though is killed offscreen before he encounters either Leon or Claire.
Steve Burnside
[edit]- Voiced by: Bill Houston (Code: Veronica),[25] Sam Riegel (The Darkside Chronicles)
Steve Burnside (スティーブ・バーンサイド, Sutību Bānsaido) is Claire Redfield's partner in the game Resident Evil – Code: Veronica. Steve was imprisoned in the Rockfort Island's facility alongside his father, a former Umbrella employee. He escapes from his cell during the viral outbreak. Steve was initially hesitant to trust Claire while reluctantly cooperating with her, but gradually cares for her after being forced to kill his own father when he becomes infected. Steve and Claire eventually end up in Umbrella's Antarctic Facility, where he is captured by Alexia and infected with the T-Veronica virus to be compelled to kill Claire. Though he mutated into a nearly invulnerable monster armed with a giant, ceremonial axe, Steve eventually regained control of himself and is fatally injured protecting Claire from Alexia's tentacles and reverts while professing his love to Claire in his final moments. Steve's body was later taken by Wesker to extract the T-Veronica virus. In The Darkside Chronicles it is revealed that Wesker contacted the drug baron Javier Hidalgo and took a sample of T-Veronica from Steve's corpse in order to sell the virus for Hidalgo's ailing daughter, Manuela.
The Duke
[edit]- Voiced by (English): Aaron LaPlante
The Duke is a merchant and vendor in Resident Evil Village. An obese and mysterious figure, he sells items, weapons and upgrades to the player. The Duke also buys treasures and items, and will cook meals in return for the needed ingredients. The Duke helps Ethan traverse the titular village and helps him recover Rose's body parts from the Four Lords. After Ethan is mortally injured by Miranda, the Duke recovers his body and takes him to the ritual site to confront her. Like the Merchant from Resident Evil 4, the Duke's past and history remains mysterious, though files indicate that he sells objects and provisions to the entire village, including forbidden items. The Duke also appears to relocate without being detected and set up shop within three of the Four Lords' territory (except House Beneviento because Ethan's weapons had been taken). When Ethan returns to the ceremonial site after killing Donna and Moreau, he can be seen observing a Miss Madalina doll and a jar of a Cadou Parasite. A corrupted version of the Duke, referred to as the "Masked Duke", appears in the game's DLC chapter Shadows of Rose. Files in the game reveal this version to be a construct of the Megamycete created by Mother Miranda. The Masked Duke serves as an enemy to Rose Winters as she searches for a crystal to remove her powers at a recreation of Castle Dimitrescu.
The Merchant
[edit]- Paul Mercier (RE4) Michael Adamthwaite (REmake 4) Voiced by (English):
- Voiced by (Japanese): Shigeru Chiba (REmake 4)

The Merchant can also sell upgrades, including those to weapons and storage capacity, and buy treasures and items. While playing as Leon, the Merchant will set the player a number of optional quests, such as a shooting range or destruction of blue medallions around the village. The Merchant also returns in the remake, where he offers other features such as requests to complete, trading objects for spinels and repairing Leon's equipment. He is also mentioned in passing by the Duke in Village, who directly quotes him.

The Family has been manipulating the course of human development for a long time. Their ostensible goal is to maintain stability in the world, but its true motivation lies in exploiting events to benefit its members. For now, they believe maintaining that stability is contingent upon keeping the United States at the top of the pyramid of world power. If the truth about the U.S. government's connections to Umbrella's bioweapons program were to get out, it would destabilize the world and remove America from the top of that hierarchy of power. Derek sets into motion a plan that will launch a bioterrorist attack and assassinate the president, thus preserving The Family's designs on power and stability.
