Mail To The Chief

a "copy of mail to the chief" also exists but the contents are identical
To: Mr. Brian Irons, Chief of the Raccoon City Police Department
We have lost the mansion lab facility due to the renegade operative Albert Wesker. Fortunately his interference will have no lasting effect upon our continued virus research. Our only present concern is the presence of the remaining S.T.A.R.S. members: Redfield, Valentine, Burton, Chambers and Vickers. If it comes to light that S.T.A.R.S. has obtained any evidence of our research, dispose of them in a way that would appear purely accidental. Continue to monitor their progress and make certain their knowledge does not go public. Annette will continue to be your contact throughout this affair.
William Birkin
To: Mr. Brian Irons, Chief of the Raccoon City Police Department
I have deposited the sum of $10,000 to the account for your services this term, as per our agreement. The development of the G-Virus, scheduled to replace the T-Virus, is near completion. Once it's completed, I am certain that I will be appointed to the executive board for Umbrella Corporation. It is imperative that we proceed with caution. Redfield and the remaining S.T.A.R.S. members are still attempting to uncover information on the project. Continue to monitor their activities and block all attempts to investigate the underground research facilities.
William Birkin
To: Mr. Brian Irons, Chief of the Raccoon City Police Department
We have a problem. I have received information that Umbrella HQ has sent spies to recover my research on the G-Virus. There are a number of unknown agents involved. They must not be allowed to take this project away from me, because it represents my entire life's work.
Search the city thoroughly for any suspicious persons. Detain any such individuals by whatever means possible and contact me immediately through Annette. With these precautions, any possible threat should be eliminated. I will not allow anyone to steal my work on the G-Virus. Not even Umbrella...

Mr Chris Redfield
Raccoon City Police Department
S.T.A.R.S. Division
As per your request, we have conducted our internal investigation and discovered the following information:
1) Regarding the G-Virus currently under development by Umbrella Corporation
So far, it is unconfirmed that the G-Virus even exists. We're continuing with our investigation.
2) Regarding Brian Irons, Chief of the Raccoon City Police Department
Chief Irons has allegedly received a large sum in bribes from Umbrella over the past five years. He was apparently involved in the coverup of the Mansion Incident, along with several other incidents in which Umbrella appears to have direct involvement.
During his years as a university student, Irons was arrested on two separate counts under suspicion of rape. He underwent a psychiatric evaluation as a result of the charges, but was released due to circumstantial evidence as well as his phenomenal academic standing.
As such, extreme caution is advised when dealing with him.

Chris' Diary
The following is a transcript of Chris' diary, which you can find on his desk in Resident Evil 2.
August 8th
I talked to the chief today once again, but he refused to listen to me. I know for certain that Umbrella conducted T-Virus research in that mansion. Anyone infected turns into a zombie.
But the entire mansion went up in that explosion; along with any incriminating evidence. Since Umbrella employs so many people in this town, no one is willing to talk about the incident. It looks like I'm running out of options.
August 17th
We've been receiving a lot of local reports about strange monsters appearing at random throughout the city. This must be the work of Umbrella.
August 24th
With the help of Jill and Barry, I finally obtained information vital to this case. Umbrella has begun research on the new G-virus, a variation of the original T-virus. Haven't they done enough damage already?
We talked it over, and have decided to fly to the main Umbrella HQ in Europe.
I won't tell my sister about this trip because doing so could put her in danger.
Please forgive me Claire.
Chris' Report
The following, found only on the Nintendo 64 version of Resident Evil 2, is Chris' Report to the Chief of Police about the Spencer Mansion incident.
Dear Chief,
Below is my account of what led up to the explosion of the mansion:
On July 23rd, S.T.A.R.S. Bravo team, led by Captain Marini, went to investigate the bizarre homicides that occurred in the Arklay Mountains. After contact with team's chopper was lost, S.T.A.R.S. Alpha team, lead by Captain Wesker went in.
We found the remains of Bravo team's helicopter on the ground. After landing we were immediately attacked by bloodthirsty dogs. We later discovered that these dogs were actually zombie dogs as they did not even feel our gunfire. After Joseph Frost was killed, we were forced to retreat to a nearby mansion. After further investigating the mansion, we learned that it was actually a secret laboratory of Umbrella Inc.. All researchers were turned into zombies bysome type of unknown virus. We also discovered that Umbrella was using that lab as a testing area for new Bio Organic Weapons.
We found the dead bodies of some of the Bravo team members including Enrico Marini, Kenneth Sullivan, Forest Speyer, and Richard Aiken. We believe that those Bio Organic Weapons caused their deaths. After that we discovered that Captain Wesker was actually working with Umbrella and that both Alpha and Bravo teams were being used as live test subjects for the Bio Organic Weapons. Wesker had betrayed us! We barely managed to survive that nightmare. However, since the mansion exploded, there is no evidence to support our claims of Umbrella's secret lab or the Bio Organic Weapons.
The zombie phenomenon that has been occurring in the city is extremely similar to the zombies we saw at the mansion. We suspect that Umbrella is somehow linked to all this. In order to solve this mystery and put an end to the zombies that are roaming the city, I propose we launch a formal investigation into Umbrella. Thank you for your attention to this extremely important matter.

Letter from Best Friend
This file can be found in your inventory as Claire Redfield at the start of Resident Evil 2 REmake
Dear Claire,
First of all, thanks for the letter. Now, if you'll let me get this one thing off my chest:
I can't believe you're really gonna do it! I can't believe you're biking all the way to Raccoon City all by yourself! Just to see your brother!? What the hell!?
I know Chris means a lot to you, and yeah, you haven't been able to reach him for a month and all, but you're nuts.
You know how many perverts and assholes are out there, just waiting for a hot, young college student to come along and take advantage of? It's not safe to travel alone.
But your mind's made up, isn't it? Fine, I get it. Just promise you'll call when you get to Raccoon City. Don't leave your bestest best friend hanging, OK!?
Love ya!
P.S.: Your brother may be THE Chris Redfield, and he may have taught you how to fight and use a gun like a banshee, but that doesn't make you INVINCIBLE, so don't get cocky out there.
Letter To S.T.A.R.S. Members
This file can be found in the armory inside the S.T.A.R.S. office in Resident Evil 2 REmake
To my bestest S.T.A.R.S. buds,
How are you all doing in that drab, old station? Hanging in there against old Irons? Me? I just got back from a date with a hot chick. Bet you can guess what we got up to under her extra-large umbrella.
Europe is amazing. One month is in no way enough to even scratch the surface. Maybe I'll extend my vacation for another six months.
Barry, don't you even think of coming to join me. Wouldn't want to make all the cute girls cry, yeah? So you just leave the babes to me.
Jill, if Claire tries to contact you, please let her know I'm OK.
Chris Redfield, August 29

August 7th
Two weeks have passed since that day. My wounds have been healed, but I just can't forget it. For most people, it's history now. But for me, whenever I close my eyes, it all comes back clearly. Zombies eating people's flesh and the screams of my teammates dying. No, the wound is my heart which has not healed yet...
August 13th
Chris has been causing a lot of trouble recently. What's with him? He seldom talks to the other police members and is constantly irritated. The other day, he punched Elran of the Boy's Crime department just for accidentally splashing his face with coffee. I immediately stopped Chris, but when he saw me he just gave me a wink and walked away. I wonder what happened to him...
August 15th
Midnight. Chris, who has been on a leave of absence for a "vacation," called me so I visited his apartment. As soon as I walked into his room, he showed me a couple of pieces of paper. They were part of a virus research report entitled as simply as "G". then Chris told me that, "The nightmare still continues" he went on to say that, "It's not over yet." Ever since that day, he has been fighting all by himself without rest, without even telling me.
August 24th
Chris left the town today to go to Europe. Barry told me that he would send his family to Canada and then he would follow Chris. I decided to remain in Raccoon City for a while because I know that the research facility in this city will be very important to this entire case. In a month or so, I'll be joining with them somewhere in Europe. That's when my real battle begins...

Report on destroyed Raccoon City
This file can be found in the original Resident Evil: Survivor game.
Slide: Raccoon City
"After the Destruction" Report
Date: August 5, 1998
Report from the U.B.C.S. member.
Part 1
The biohazard that occurred on May 11th at Lord Spencer's mansion and bio-chemical laboratory ended on July 25th when members of the STARS teams destroyed the entire facility.
As of 8/5/98, there are no signs of viral leakage in the surrounding area. However; we must continue to monitor the area with extreme caution. Our secret operative Albert Wekser, is M.I.A. and is presumed dead. However, we have just received information that Jill Valentine and Chris Redfield are preparing to report the incident to the press and their police chief.
I request that this matter be addressed with the utmost urgency.
U.B.C.S. Commander
Nicholai Ginovaef
Jill Valentine Profile
This file can be found in Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles.
A member of S.T.A.R.S. Alpha Team. She is very dexterous and is an expert at picking locks, earning her the somewhat awkward title of "Master of Unlocking." She is not only highly skilled in bomb disposal, but is excellent at breaking down any situation and determining the best course of action. Her years of U.S. Army Delta Force training have helped make her a crack shot.
After the destruction of Raccoon City, both her and Chris have joined a private biohazard containment unit with the goal of taking Umbrellan down once and for all. Serious, with a strong sense of justice, she's very direct in her actions. She typically only shows her tough side to others, but there are times when she lets her guard down and shows a softer side.
Chris Redfield Profile
This file can be found in Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles.
A member of S.T.A.R.S. Alpha Team, his markmanship is #1 amongst the sharp-shooters assembled in Alpha. He was once a pilot in the U.S.A.F. and has been rigorously trained in hand-to-hand as well as knife combat. He has pursued Umbrella and the people behind it even after the fall of Raccoon City by helping to organize a private biohazard containment unit.
An excellent observer with keen insight, his sense of right and wrong is unwavering. This is often a source of conflict between Chris and his superiors. He has a younger sister, Claire, who he is very protective of.
Forest Speyer Profile
This file can be found in Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles.
A member of S.T.A.R.S. Bravo Team, his sharp-shooting skills almost rival Chris's. He escaped to the mansion, but was attacked by a monster and left for dead on the balcony, where his body was later discovered.
Resident Evil Digest 1
This file can be found in Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles.
S.T.A.R.S. Bravo Team was sent in to ascertain the cause of the grisly murders taking place in the Arklay Mountains, but all contact with them was cut off during the mission.
Alpha Team was then sent in to investigate.
While searching for their comrades, Alpha Team fell under attack by monsters and were forced to flee into an ominous mansion.
The survivors, Chris, Jill, Barry and Wesker resumed the search for Bravo Team, but found that most of them had already been killed by zombies.
The mansion was filled with trap doors and strange devices and teemed with monstrous dogs, crows, spiders and blood-sucking plants. The mysteries
surrounding the old residence became more apparent as the team fought their way through its evil inhabitants.
The mansion turned out to be a front for a hidden Umbrella research facility. Alpha Team managed to locate the survivors of Bravo Team - Rebecca,
Richard and Enrico - but Richard perished shortly thereafter and Enrico was murdered while trying to warn of a traitor in their midst.
Resident Evil Digest 2
This file can be found in Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles.
Jill and Chris made their way below the mansion and discovered Umbrella's high-tech research facility.
They discovered Wesker in the cultivation chamber and learned that he was the traitor. As a former Umbrella researcher, he had seized the opportunity that the biohazard presented to lure them into the mansion and collect data on the effectiveness of the biological weaponry against highly trained soldiers. Wesker also had further plans to betray Umbrella.
With the awesome power of the completed Tyrant in his hands, he no longer needed to follow the orders of others.
However, upon releasing the Tyrant, it lashed out and pierced Wesker's body with its giant claws.
The Tyrant pursued Jill and Chris, while in the background a self-destruction mechanism had been initialized. The pair made contact with Brad,
Alpha's helicopter pilot, and fled to the helipad to escape.
The Tyrant followed in pursuit and began to draw closer with each step.
Barry Burton Profile
This file can be found in Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles.
A member of S.T.A.R.S. Alpha Team. He used to serve in the same military unit with Chris and employs his expert knowledge in firearms to adjust and supply the guns for the group. He is good-natured and compassionate, with a strong sense of duty. He deeply loves his wife Kathy and two daughters, Moira and Polly.
After escaping from the mansion, he took his family to Canada and returned alone to Raccoon City to rescue his friend and former comrade from S.T.A.R.S.
Resident Evil 2 Digest 1
This file can be found in Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles.
Two months after the mansion incident, Raccoon City has shown signs of changing.
Leon S Kennedy is R.P.D.'s newest police officer and has arrived in Raccoon City for his first day on the job.
The town is swarming with zombies and shortly after reaching town, Leon has to save Claire Redfield from an attacking zombie.
Claire is S.T.A.R.S. team member Chris Redfield's younger sister and has come looking for her brother.
The two flee together to the safest location they can think of - the R.P.D. police station.
They manage to reach the station, but find that the police force has already been devastated. The two decide to split up to try and look for survivors
and an escape route.
While exploring the expansive police station, Leon meets Ada Wong in the parking garage and they continue exploring together. Meanwhile, Claire
finds and rescues a young girl. She tells Claire that her name is Sherry and that she got separated from her parents.
Albert Wesker Profile
This file can be found in Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles.
One of the men behind the biohazard outbreak and always seen with his signature shades on. Wesker possesses knowledge about biological engineering and used to be an agent for Umbrella. He was planted in S.T.A.R.S. to spy on them and was even made their commanding officer.
Wesker took particular note of Chris and his combat prowess while in charge of the team. He is cold-blooded and has no qualms about betraying the people who place their faith in him. He betrayed and killed Marcus, lured S.T.A.R.S. into the mansion and nearly wiped them out and even pretended to be dead to join Umbrella's rival company.
Wesker was the one who sent Ada Wong to retrieve the G-Virus and was involved in the incidents at Rockfort Island. He appears intent on gathering as much data as possible on viral weaponry. Since injecting himself with a virus during the events at the mansion, his power has grown far beyond that of a normal human being.
Raccoon City
This file can be found in Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles.
September 9, 1998.
An American Midwestern city situated in a basin surrounded by mountains with a population of more than 100,000.
September 1998.
Beginning with a string of cannibalistic murders which occurred several months earlier, unrest spread among Raccoon City's citizens until, one night, violence broke out across the city, crippling the city's transportation infrastructure. Citizens descended into a state of panic, with all lifelines cut off. Despite rescue efforts on the part of the Raccoon Police and Fire departments, the situation continued to worsen. The city is eventually overrun with hoards of zombies, referred to as "the walking dead".
This is where the fight began between the Umbrella Corporation, the cause of this nightmare, and Leon begins.
The City Police Department building as originally an art museum and is located in the center of the city. Despite its relatively small size, the Raccoon City Police Department is renowned for its squad of elite officers known as S.T.A.R.S. After the "Arklay Mansion Incident", Chris Redfield and the few S.T.A.R.S. members who managed to survive began a thorough investigation to try to ge to the bottom of what happened. However, their investigation was hampered by police chief Brian Irons. Chief Irons, facing growing suspicion that he had dubious ties to the Umbrella Corporation, did his best to obscure the results of the investigation. Later, Chris decided to conduct his own investigation into Umbrella and travelled to Europe - to the main branch of the Umbrella Corporation.
September 26.
Raccoon City had lost all of its municipal functions and was now overrun with zombies. City police worked furiously to restore order. Hoverer, rave with the unimaginably abnormal circumstances, their efforts proved ineffective and nearly all of them were killed. That day was rookie Leon S. Kennedy's first day on the job. Because of oversleeping and massive traffic delays, he didn't make it into the city until after sunset. He then found himself firmly planted into the middle of the chaos. He meets Claire Redfield who came to Raccoon City to find her brother, also a member of the Raccoon City police force. The two of them head towards their shared destination, the Raccoon City Police Department.

Mr. Chris Redfield
- Raccoon City Police Dept -
S.T.A.R.S. Division
As per your request, we have conducted our internal investigation and discovered the following information.
1) Regarding the G-Virus currently under development by Umbrella Inc. So far it is unconfirmed that the G-Virus even exists. We're continuing with out investigation into this matter.
2) Regarding Mr. Brian Irons, Chief of the Raccoon Police Dept. Mr. Irons has apparently received several large sums of money from Umbrella Inc. over the last five years. From what we were able to discover, it appears Mr. Irons was directly involved in the Arklay mansion incident along with several other incidents in which Umbrella appears to have direct involvement. To what extent he was involved in these affairs, we have not fully been able to ascertain at this point. We advise using extreme caution when dealing with this individual.

Chris’s Diary
This file can be found in Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles and again is almost the same as the original diary in Resident Evil 2 but worded slightly different.
August 6th
I tried to talk to the chief again today, but he just shrugged me off. I know for certain that Umbrella conducted T-Virus research in that mansion. But the entire facility went up in the explosion, along with any incriminating evidence. Since Umbrella employs so many people in town, no one is willing to talk about the incident. It looks like I'm running out of options.
August 17th
We've been receiving a lot of local reports about strange creatures being spotted throughout the city. Looks like Umbrella is still at it.
August 24th
With Jill and Barry's help, I finally obtained the information I needed. We discovered that Umbrella has begun research on a new variant of the T-Virus which they call the "G-Virus". The three of us talked it over , and agreed that the only way to end this for good , was to take matters into our own hands. We're going to pay a little visit to Umbrella Headquarters located in Europe. I can't tell Claire about what I'm planning. If I told her, she'd just worry and probably want to come with us. I can't take that chance.
I’m sure she'd understand.
BSAA
This file can be found in Resident Evil 5 after completing chapter 1-2
Following the annihilation of Raccoon City, Umbrella was hit hard with multiple lawsuits for their involvement in the incident. But there was an organization that was hit even harder by the fallout of that incident: the Global Pharmaceutical Consortium, an organization comprised of pharmaceutical companies from around the world. Umbrella's development of and experimentation with Bio-Organic Weapons (B.O.W.), along with the sale of those weapons on the black market, caused people to distrust the Global Pharmaceutical Consortium, and the fact that Umbrella was an executive board member only deepened their misgivings.
If things had ended there, the consortium may have just escaped with a tarnished reputation. But in today's world, medicine is an integral part of almost all medical procedures. The public is also quite informed when it comes to which medications are trusted and which are not. If the population loses trust in the pharmaceutical company responsible for creating certain medications, it can quickly bankrupt said company.
The Umbrella trials took a turn for the worse for the consortium when prosecutors presented evidence that incriminated many other pharmaceutical companies. Prosecutors showed that Umbrella acquired medicines and techniques in their own bio-weapons research. They commissioned each of the respective companies to only partially develop certain medicines so that they could not be traced to what was ultimately being developed. The responsible companies thus unwittingly contributed to the development of bio-weapons.
Until this development in the case, the consortium looked at the lawsuits as Umbrella's problem. Now the problem was thrust into their laps as well. The companies that were linked to Umbrella faced the possibility of sharing blame for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent people, and if Umbrella lost the lawsuits, they would face bankruptcy as well. Even if Umbrella was found not guilty of any wrongdoing, the negative publicity would not only be disastrous for sales, but the governments of the world would revoke the companies' permits to sell their products.
Not having permission to distribute their products worldwide would effectively dismantle their businesses. The pharmaceutical companies realized they had no choice but to take drastic measures to counter their dismal prospects. The consortium decided to strike a deal with the prosecutors. They would put all their efforts into assisting with the case against Umbrella, even to the point of turning over any internal company documentation. The prosecutors in the case, being obsessed with seeing Umbrella fall, agreed to accept the help of the consortium's companies, and in return they would not pursue legal action against them.
In 2003, Umbrella was found guilty on all charges. With its fall, the scandal that rocked the pharmaceutical industry to its core could finally be put to rest. But Umbrella's dismantlement led to an unforeseen situation. In the fallout of Umbrella's collapse, B.O.W.s began to show up on the black market. The weapons wound up in the hands of terrorists, guerrilla fighters, and unstable state governments. Soon the threat of these B.O.W.s began to be felt around the world. Faced with a new Umbrella-like crisis, the Global Pharmaceutical Consortium knew they would have to take immediate action. It was then that the Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance (BSAA) was formed to fight threads from B.O.W.s.
Upon its initial foundation, only eleven elite individuals were made part of the BSAA. Their job was limited to that of observers to armies and police units around the world that conducted counter-bioterrorism operations. Unfortunately, the world's bioterrorism problem was much bigger than anyone had anticipated, and so a new course of action was required to handle the problem. To that end, consideration was given to creating a team that could react instantly to threats, but the BSAA was still only a civilian-led organization. They could not operate freely in sovereign nations, and thus were unable to conduct investigations, make pertinent arrests, or even use force when the situation dictated it. It was clear now that the threat of bioterrorism was now the entire world's problem, and something would have to be done.
The BSAA was then reformed under the U.N.'s jurisdiction. As a U.N.-controlled special forces team, the BSAA's acceptance by the U.N.'s member states was taken as a given. The truth of the matter was that only 70 percent of the member states would approve of BSAA activities on their soil, and the remainder of the states would only approve BSAA activities in their countries on a conditional basis. That is how the current incarnation of the BSAA was formed.
The BSAA's headquarters was located in England, but any further details of the location were not released to the public. Since a BSAA team had to be able to be deployed within 12 hours, it was assumed that they were located near an airport hub or an air force base. Some sources claimed that the BSAA had bases in the area under their jurisdiction. The following is a list of areas under the jurisdiction of their respective BSAA branches.
European Headquarters: Europe and western RussiaMiddle East Branch: The Middle East and part of Africa
North American Branch: The entire North American continent (Chris Redfield is stationed here)
South American Branch: The entire South American continent
West African Branch: The western part of the African continent (Sheva Alomar is stationed here)
East African Branch: The eastern part of the African continent
Far East Branch: Eastern Russia and the counties east of India
Oceania Branch: Australia is the center of operations of Oceania (Antarctica, where Umbrella's Antarctic Base was located, falls under the jurisdiction of the Oceania Branch.)
Each BSAA branch had a considerable number of people on their tactical teams, most of them coming from police special forces and militaries around the world. The support staff for the teams was also quite large, and they came mainly from government organizations in different countries. There were many groups of experts on the staff that provided technical, medical, physical, and mental support to the teams. The BSAA deployment teams were divided into two groups. The first group was the Special Operations Unit (SOU). The SOU was sanctioned to infiltrate an area, engage in combat, and subdue offenders. Teams were usually comprised of 12 members, and each team was divided into three four-man cells.
A special feature of the SOU is the flexibility of its personnel during operations. In order to match the scale of an operation, cells from other teams are brought in on a regular basis. For one specific joint operation, there were 70 elite members working together. Dan DeChant is currently the leader of Alpha Team for this operation. The team is comprised of his own standard team along with cells from other teams. (The designation Alpha Team will only be used for this operation).
Reports indicate that because unknown B.O.W.s are involved, the efficacy of the tactical team's methods for handling them may be low, and considering as to be given to the strong points that raise their efficacy. Another key part of the BSAA is the Special Operations Agent (SOA). Usually they referred to as just "agents", and unlike the SOU, agents work alone. The agents are primarily involved in investigations and espionage activities, and as such, they are considered the eyes and ears of the BSAA. During certain operations, it may become difficult for tactical teams to penetrate to the front, so it is up to the agents to carry out the missions.
During those types of missions, a two-man cell is the basic deployment unit required to carry out the mission. Sometimes agents must go beyond the jurisdiction of a BSAA branch to carry out their missions. Many of them are dispatched to areas with unlawful activities. This mission sees agent Chris Redfield in that role. Agents who work alone are highly capable, and they rank higher than SOU members; however, agents are not chosen so much for their abilities or technical prowess, but for the psychological state and aptitude in handling situations. In actual skills and abilities, they may be outperformed by SOU members.
The BSAA is a public organization with an international staff, but owing to the logistics of running such an organization, it is a well-known fact that most of their funding comes from the Global Pharmaceutical Consortium. While this relationship has been the target of much criticism, the consortium's funding removes the financial burden from participatory nations, and as such, any motivation to change the situation and incur unwanted expenses. As for the consortium, their sponsorship acts as a much needed industry-wide PR service. So far this partnership has been beneficial to all parties involved.
On a final note, the eleven members who were part of the BSAA from the beginning are highly respected within the organization, and are known as the Original Eleven. The name comes from the Original Seven, who were the seven astronauts selected for Project Mercury. One of these Original Eleven is Chris Redfield. A number of other members of the Original Eleven also work alongside many of the tactical teams.
Chris Redfield
This file can be found in Resident Evil 5 after completing chapter 3-1
Listed within this file is a general background information overview of BSAA agent – Chris Redfield – as pieced together from various sources. The information listed here is neither complete nor should it be used as a psychological analysis of the subject.
Chris Redfield began his military career in the United States Air Force. Possessing a service record replete with both commendations and disciplinary actions, commanding officers have described Chris as: "uncompromising", "possessing unwavering dedication", and having a "high level of adaptability".
It was those traits that saw Chris earn his wings, but also these same traits that brought him into direct conflict with superiors. Unable to settle these differences, Chris retired from the United States Air Force. After retirement, Chris was scouted by Raccoon City's special forces (S.T.A.R.S.) because of his superior firearm and hand-to-hand combat skills, along with his qualifications as both fixed-wing aircraft and helicopter pilot. Joining the S.T.A.R.S. team, Chris was designated as point man (PM) for Alpha Team. As PM, it was his duty to scout and secure positions ahead of the team. His duties required him not only to be a good shooter and fighter, but also be able to use a wide array of weaponry.
It was this area where he excelled, showing the ability to handle anything from small arms to large weapons and the flexibility to use them as the situation dictated. Chris's performance with S.T.A.R.S. was exemplary. It appeared that he had finally found his niche. But fate had other plans in mind for Chris. Unbeknownst to him, the next chapter in his story was about to unfold on that fateful night in July 1998.
The S.T.A.R.S. Bravo Team responding to reports of disappearances in the surrounding areas of Raccoon City, abruptly went radio silent. Alpha Team was sent in to investigate. Shortly after their helicopter touched down, they were attacked by wild ravenous canines (known as the B.O.W. Cerberus), and were forced to take refuge in a nearby mansion. The mansion was in reality the Arklay Research Facility for the pharmaceutical giant Umbrella. It was at this facility that they developed bio-weapons and conducted uncounted illegal experiments. Here Chris and his partner, Jill Valentine, were forced to combat numerous B.O.W.s as part of an active tactical research plan devised by Albert Wesker.
Wesker was the commanding officer of S.T.A.R.S., and therefore Chris and Jill's superior. Though all his actions were done at the behest of the Umbrella Corporation, Wesker used his rank in S.T.A.R.S. to manipulate Chris and Jill. Wesker unleashed several B.O.W.s into the mansion in order to gather data for his own ends. This tragedy in the Arklay Mountains became known as the Mansion Incident, and ended with Chris and Jill destroying the creature known as Tyrant, the death of Wesker and the destruction of the laboratory. Having survived the incident at the mansion, Chris attempted to notify the authorities regarding Umbrella's activities, but all his warnings were ignored due to Umbrella's powerful sway.
Having exhausted this option, he attempted to notify the U.S. government of the situation. This too however, proved fruitless. He knew that taking on such a large corporate entity alone would not be easy, and might in fact prove fatal, but in the end he was left with no other choice. Thus Chris continued his investigation on his own. Without informing his family of his intentions, he soon departed for Europe. Chris wanted to shield his family from any ill effects his investigation might incur, but ironically it brought one of his family members into the fray.
When Claire Redfield was unable to get in contact with her brother, she journeyed to Raccoon City to find him. Upon arrival in the city, she found the area awash with terror brought on by the spread of the T-Virus. In that land of death and confusion, Claire met Leon S. Kennedy, and together they were able to fight their way out of the city. After the Raccoon City ordeal, Claire flew to Paris to investigate Umbrella's activities in Europe, but she was captured and sent to Rockfort Island. When Chris learned from Leon what had happened to Claire, he made his way to Rockfort Island to free her. It was there that Chris was confronted with many harsh facts.
Umbrella had a research facility in Antarctica. Alexia Ashford was still alive. There was a new virus called T-Veronica. And most surprisingly of all, Albert Wesker was still alive. The man behind the horror of the Mansion Incident, Chris's former commanding officer, somehow survived the destruction of the Mansion. Once again Chris was unwittingly thrust into one of Wesker's schemes, and he was forced to face the man whose destiny appeared to be intertwined with his own. Chris was easily overpowered by Wesker's inhuman strength, but luck was on Chris's side that day.
In the ensuing conflagration that consumed the island Chris and Wesker's conflict was put on hold for the time being. With his resolve strengthened Chris determined that no matter at what personal cost to himself, Umbrella would fall. Fast forward to 2003. Chris is in the skies over Russia; his partner, Jill Valentine, by his side. At this point, Umbrella was in dire straits. In the wake of the destruction of Raccoon City, the company became embattled in litigation, and their stock price plummeted. It was only a matter of time before Umbrella collapsed. It was during this time that Chris learned of Umbrella's plans to develop a new type of B.O.W.
Chris and Jill had obtained information and were headed to the Caucasus Laboratory where the T-A.L.O.S. Plan was being conducted in secret. They were to rendezvous with an anti-bioterrorism unit and attack the location. Not long after this incident, the once seemingly untouchable Umbrella was officially no more. The seed that Umbrella sowed, however, would continue to reap tragedy for the world. B.O.W.s were no longer restricted to areas of conflict, but were now being used in terrorist attacks against innocent civilians. It was at this time that Chris and Jill joined the BSAA, a group dedicated to eliminating those bio-weapons.
The two of them traversed the world together, partners in the fight to bring bio-terrorists to justice. The shadow of Umbrella still loomed large though, as they would soon discover. When Chris and Jill went to question Umbrella’s founder, Ozwell E. Spencer, about Wesker's whereabouts, they were greeted by the sight of Umbrella's founder lying crumpled on the floor, and the bloodstained figure of Wesker standing over him. This would be the third confrontation between Chris and Wesker. This time the confrontation ended in tragedy as Jill, seeing no other option, made the ultimate sacrifice to stop Wesker. With one last effort she charged Wesker and threw both herself and him over the side of a cliff. The BSAA searched for Jill's body for three months, but no trace of her was ever found.
After three months of searching with no success, Jill Valentine was officially declared dead by the BSAA. No one knows what promises Chris made in front of Jill's empty grave, but following her loss, he redoubled his efforts to eradicate all bio-organic weapons wherever they may be. Initially stationed at BSAA’s North American Branch, his investigations soon took him around the world. He became involved in so many operations that he soon had more missions to his name than any other BSAA member. During one of his investigations, Chris learned of an upcoming bio-weapons deal in Africa in connection with a man named Ricardo Irving. Irving's name has come up quite often in late in association with bio-weapons smuggling.
After informing the BSAA African Branch about Irving, Chris urgently requested permission to participate in the operation to arrest Irving. As for the reasons he wished to participate in this mission, Chris would not comment. Whether he is withholding information or not is unclear. As one of the most respected BSAA agents, his presence in this operation greatly increases the chances of success, thus his request has been granted.
Jill Valentine
This file can be found in Resident Evil 5 after completing chapter 5-3
Listed within this file is a general background information overview of former S.T.A.R.S. agent – Jill Valentine – as pieced together from various sources. The information listed here is neither complete nor should it be used as a psychological analysis of the subject.
When a crisis situation arises, few soldiers excel to the level of Jill Valentine. She is proficient in the use of various firearms, is a master at lock picking, and is skilled in the disposal of explosives. Jill's talents make her an integral component of any fighting force. Like Chris Redfield, Jill was a member of the S.T.A.R.S. Alpha Team. She was also involved in the tragedy at the Arklay Research Facility (also known as the "Mansion Incident"). During the incident, Jill and Chris operated independently, but together discovered the truth behind the facility. They learned that Barry Burton was not really a traitor, but was being controlled by Albert Wesker, Captain of Alpha Team. In addition to Wesker's machinations, they also learned the source of the zombie outbreak was due to the release of the T-Virus, and that Umbrella was more than just an ordinary pharmaceutical company.
What Jill learned at the Arklay Research Facility would have profound repercussions on the rest of her life. Following their return from the mansion, Chris and Jill attempted to inform the authorities of Umbrella's activities. For all their good intentions, they were met with no movement towards any official investigation into the company. Fed up with the lack of response, the two took it upon themselves to investigate Umbrella. They concentrated their efforts on Umbrella’s main base of operations in Europe. As a S.T.A.R.S. member entrusted with protecting Raccoon City, Jill chose to remain in the city for the time being and investigate the Umbrella research facility there before rendezvousing with Chris in Europe.
This decision led to her involvement in the Raccoon City incident. During her investigation, rodents infected with the T-Virus from the Arklay Research Facility began to spread the virus into the city. The virus quickly spread, infecting a majority of the residents. Umbrella, the perpetrators behind this incident, reacted swiftly. Umbrella sent in the Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service (U.B.C.S.) to handle the situation, and they also dispatched the bio-weapon Nemesis T-Type to take out any surviving S.T.A.R.S. members, who Umbrella now considered a threat. Jill attempted to escape from Raccoon City all the while being hunted by the Nemesis T-Type. During this time she encountered a member of the U.B.C.S. team, Carlos Oliveira.
Carlos claimed his team was on a rescue mission to save any survivors in Raccoon City. Having no reason to doubt that mission's purpose, he proposed to help Jill escape. Jill, on the other hand, had her doubts. However, the situation had reached critical proportions and Jill did not have the luxury of time. The U.S. government was planning on containing the spread of the virus by launching a special missile strike on the city called Operation: Bacillus Terminate. When Jill became infected with the T-Virus as a result of the nemesis T-Type, she despaired of ever being able to get out alive. Fortunately for her, Carlos was there to help. Carlos obtained a cue to the T-Virus infection and gave it to Jill. After her recovery, she worked with Carlos and they successfully escaped from Raccoon City.
In 2003, after Operation: T-A.L.O.S., Jill and Chris became two of the original eleven founding members of the BSAA, and joined them in their fight against bio weapons and bio terrorism around the world. Chris and Jill stopped bio weapons in Asia, destroyed bio weapon labs in South America, arrested smugglers in Europe, and patrolled the world in an attempt to stamp out all bio weapons. Throughout their activities, while they may have suspected the long fingers of Umbrella as being involved, they never had any conclusive proof.
Those long fingers, however, would turn out to be connected to the hands of Umbrella’s founder, Ozwell E. Spencer. The pair received intel on Spencer’s whereabouts and rushed off to arrest him only to find their former Captain and hated enemy, Albert Wesker. Seeing Spencer's crumpled corpse on the ground, the two changed their plans to arrest Wesker instead. In a two-on-one fight, Chris and Jill should have had the advantage, but Wesker's strength and agility were well beyond that of any normal human. For all their training, Jill and Chris were no match for Wesker. As Wesker was about to end Chris’s life, Jill made the ultimate sacrifice. Lunging at Wesker, she threw both herself and him out of a window, and over the side of a cliff. Chris could do nothing as he watched his partner fall to her death.
BSAA launched a full-scale search operation, but neither Jill's body nor any of her personal effects were ever recovered. On November 23, 2006, Jill Valentine was officially declared dead, and her name was added to the list of BSAA members who died in the line of duty. But Jill's story did not end there. The fall did not kill Jill nor Wesker. Though badly hurt and unconscious, Jill was saved by Wesker. After giving her the medical treatment she required, he placed her in a cryogenic sleep. Once the Uroboros Plan was finalized, Wesker intended to use her as the first test subject. This was Wesker's way of exacting his revenge.
Fortunately for Jill, luck was on her side. The apparatus monitoring her vital signs detected some abnormalities. Something was happening inside Jill's body, and Wesker’s curiosity was piqued. Further investigation showed that a mutated from of the T-Virus was still inside her body. It was a remnant from her infection in Raccoon City. The cure she was given was supposed to have eradicated all traces of the virus in her body, but instead it caused the virus to go into a dormant state. Her extended period in a cryogenic sleep somehow reactivated the virus. Shortly after being reactivated the T-Virus completely disappeared from her body, but it left something else in its place. Wesker found that Jill's body now contained powerful antibodies to the virus.
All those years the T-Virus was inside her body forced it to develop a defence system that was nothing short of miraculous. This discovery would help further Wesker's ambitions. The development of the Uroboros Virus, the centerpiece of the Uroboros Plan, had proven to be quite difficult. The Uroboros Virus developed from the Progenitor flower proved to be too poisonous to humans to be of much use. Instead of spurring the next step in human evolution, it only invited death. Wesker theorized that using Jill's antibodies could make the virus less poisonous. He kept Jill alive solely to produce antibodies for his research.
Jill, who had reviled bio-weapons and devoted her life to eradicating them, was ironically being used to develop the most terrible bio-weapon of all. After much research and experimentation, Wesker finally perfected the Uroboros Virus. Jill's participation in its development meant that she was no longer a suitable test subject. Pure and unadulterated antibodies with high resistance to the virus permeated her body. Wesker decided he would find a suitable use for her elsewhere. During the research into the Progenitor virus, an ancillary chemical was discovered. The researchers referred to it as simply – P30. When administered to test subjects, it would not only give them superhuman strength, but also rendered them highly susceptible to control.
P30 was the ultimate performance enhancer. The aims of the Uroboros Plan were to create a new breed of humans, so P30's application in this plan was inconsequential. However, for the time being it could be marketed as a product and garner additional funding. Research into creating the ultimate soldier who didn't resist orders was carried out simultaneously on Las Plagas and P30. Unfortunately, the latter had a severe drawback. The effects of P30 would only last for a very short time. An injection of P30 was metabolized and expelled by the body at an expeditious rate requiring re administration of the drug at frequent intervals. This greatly lessened the viability of such a product as a long-term performance enhancer. The only counter to such a drawback was to attach a device to the subject that would continually administer the drug.
While P30's effects were brief, it was still a powerful and effective drug. The effects of continual administration were untested, so in order to research this aspect further an administration device was attached to Jill. An external device was attached to Jill's chest that would continually administer the drug to her body. With her freewill constantly being usurped, she remained a servant to Excella and Wesker until Chris and Sheva destroyed the administration device.
Ricardo Irving
This following is an excerpt from the Ricardo Irving file which can be found in Resident Evil 5 after completing chapter 3-2
When the BSAA learned of Irving's latest deal, they viewed it as illicit activity conducted on his own and without support from Tricell. BSAA's mission, therefore, was not to fight biological weapons, but to apprehend a smuggler involved in an illicit deal. Irving was able to exploit that misconception to the fullest. Irving was informed of the BSAA's mission, and changed the location of the deal to a mine outside of the Kijuju Autonomous Zone (KAZ). When a BSAA team arrived at what they thought was the deal's location inside the KAZ, they walked into a trap. Before the team even arrived, the improved version of Las Plagas was released upon the populace of the town, transforming most of them into Majini.
This intel was acquired by Alpha Team and later confirmed by the data recovered by the backup team (Chris Redfield and Sheva Alomar) prior to Irving's deal. It appears that a sample of the Uroboros Virus was also released upon Alpha Team's arrival and was responsible for the termination of Dan DeChant's team. Irving did not take into account that the Uroboros would be engaged and defeated by Agents Redfield and Alomar, nor that a hard disk and its data would be seized. The data obtained from the hard disk allowed the two agents to proceed to the actual location of Irving's transaction – the mine. When confronted with the reality that his plan had failed, Irving was forced to take the following actions.
First, he contacted his partners in the transaction and requested to delay the deal. After which point, he went to the mine to retrieve any documents and materials relevant to the transaction. It was at this point that Redfield and Alomar found him. However, it was obvious that he had a backup plan for just such a contingency. Irving escaped thanks to the help of a hooded figure he had on standby. The two agents were left to deal with Popokarimu (a bat-based B.O.W.) that was originally intended to be used in the transaction. It is thought that Irving released this B.O.W. on the agents in retaliation for disrupting the transaction and not to aid in his escape.
In a last-ditch effort, Irving detonated the oil refinery, but unfortunately for him the refinery was virtually dry at the time thus limiting the size of the explosion. This hope was that he could destroy all incriminating evidence and kill Agents Redfield and Alomar so he would not have to resort to using the control Plaga. Irving was left with no choice but to administer the injection to himself, at which point he underwent an immense and rapid transformation. But even the power he gained from that transformation did not avail him, and he met his end at the hands of the two agents.
U-8
The following is an excerpt from the U-8 file which can be found in Resident Evil 5 after completing chapter 5-1
Records indicate that Ricardo Irving has sold a multitude of both the original U-8 and the upgraded version, U-8 Prime (which has a multi-layered carapace for extra defence, along with a shell covering its formerly exposed areas).
There were plans at one point to design a lighter, faster U-8 that could maintain functionality for longer periods of time, but this would result in a significant downgrade in its defensive capabilities. This plan appears to have been scrapped.
Chris Redfield and Sheva Alomar reported imperfections in the carapace of the U-8 they faced, so it is suspected that it was one of the original models.
Note that the "U" in U-8 does not stand for "Uroboros" but for "Ultimate".
Chris Redfield
The following file is found in Resident Evil 6
Chris Redfield is a 39-year-old BSAA operative working for its North American Branch. He was the leader of Alpha Team until he suffered post-traumatic amnesia and wound up a belligerent drunk in the underbelly of eastern Europe.
Around this time, a biohazard outbreak in China shocks the world. Piers Nivans, his teammate on Alpha, finds Chris and convinces him to resume his leadership role in the BSAA. Despite his memory loss. Chris retains the fortitude and leadership skills that make him one of the BSAA's top agents.
Piers Nivens
The following file is found in Resident Evil 6
Piers Nivans is a 26-year-old BSAA operative working for its North American Branch. Chris Redfield is his commanding officer.
His hand-eye coordination and concentration skills are without peer, making him the BSAA's top-ranking sniper. He can react quickly to the changing conditions on a battlefield, and, as such, he will usually find a way to complete his mission in spite of any adverse conditions. A serious and determined man in battle, he still has time to offer a kind word for his fellow soldiers. It is these qualities that cause his C.O. to comment that the future of the BSAA rests on the shoulders of men like him. Nivans himself prefers not to think of his team as subordinates, but as members of a big family. He believes that the strength of the BSAA hinges on the bonds of all its agents. He holds Captain Redfield in the highest respect, and Captain Redfield trusts him implicitly.
Finn Macauley
The following file is found in Resident Evil 6
Finn Macauley is a 22-year-old BSAA operative working for its North American Branch. The first real action he sees is in Edonia's civil war. Chris Redfield is his commanding officer.
He is honest and sincere, if somewhat timid. As an explosives expert, he is tasked with destroying barricades and anti-aircraft gun turrets. Unfortunately, he falls victim to Ada's machinations, succumbing to an infection that turns him into one of the very B.O.W.s he was tasked with fighting. After losing his humanity during the transformation into a mindless creature, he is killed by BSAA support troops dispatched to Edonia to dispose of the B.O.W.s.
Chris' Amnesia
The following file is found in Resident Evil 6
Chris Redfield suffered post-traumatic amnesia after he and his team were caught in a trap sprung by Ada Wong in the Republic of Edonia. Most of his team died, and an unconscious Chris was brought to a local hospital. Upon waking up, Chris had no recollection of who he was or what had occurred, but his mind was wracked by an overwhelming and inexplicable guilt. Chris decided to run away, and he left the hospital before anyone could check in on him. Until Piers Nivans and the BSAA found him, Chris lived as a moody and violent drunk, hoping that he could numb himself to the pain of what happened that fateful day.
Bosawan
The following file is from Resident Evil 6
Bosawan is a shantytown district located in the Chinese city of Waiyip built around the remains of a ruined fortress. Chris Redfield and Alpha Team chase a B.O.W. with a highly developed camouflage ability to this area.
ln the early twentieth century, the area was a base of operations for British colonialism. The Emperor of China was able to rally the surrounding peoples to extirpate the British from their land. Following British abandonment, the areas of Bosawan lapsed into a lawless zone. With no one in control, people started building dwellings haphazardly, until they piled up into the current labyrinthine mess the district is today.
Chris' File
The following file can be found in Resident Evil 6
Chris Redfield began his military career as a pilot in the United States Air Force. His unwillingness to compromise brought him into direct conflict with superiors. Unable to settle these differences, Chris retired from the Air Force. He was then scouted by Raccoon City's special forces (S.T.A.R.S.) because of his superior fighting skills and pilot qualifications. After what came to be known as the Mansion Incident on the outskirts of Raccoon City, Chris set off on his own to stop Umbrella and make the world aware of the threat of bioweapons.
Following Umbrella's dissolution in 2003, Chris decided to join the BSAA and continue the fight. This brought him to Africa in 2009, and into direct conflict with his former boss, Albert Wesker. Chris killed Albert during the operation, and he was finally able to put to rest all the ghosts of Umbrella and Raccoon City.
In 2012, during an operation in Edonia, all his BSAA soldiers except for Piers Nivans are turned into B.O.W.s. Chris suffered from head trauma that led to amnesia, and it wasn't until six months later that Piers was able to find him again.
Chris and Leon
The following file can be found in Resident Evil 6
Chris Redfield and Leon Kennedy work for two different organizations, and have no reason to interact with each other. But they do share one connection--Chris' sister Claire.
Following the Mansion Incident in 1998, Chris set out for Europe on his own, determined to bring down Umbrella. Before he left, he neglected to inform Claire as to his whereabouts, so she came to Raccoon City to find him. There she met Leon, and together they fought their way out of the horrors of Raccoon City. Claire was then reunited with Chris on Rockfort Island. She loves and respects her brother, and she considers Leon a trusted friend. With Claire as a mutual contact, it would only be a matter of time before the two met.
Although the interactions between their respective organizations are highly restricted, when they finally met, both were able to understand each other's deep convictions, particularly those related to the eradication of bio-organic weapons.
Neo-Umbrella
The following file can be found in Resident Evil 6
In Edonia, Chris and his BSAA team fell into a trap set by Ada Wong. She used the C-Virus to turn his team into B.O.W.s. As the leader of Neo-Umbrella, Ada brought the C-Virus that had been developed in China to the civil war in Edonia, where she secretly gave it to the insurgents to administer to its mercenary fighters. The mercenaries then mutated into creatures known as J'avo, and she gathered the data on their transformations.
Chris has spent most of his life fighting the pharmaceutical company Umbrella, almost losing it on numerous occasions. It's not hard to imagine what he thought when he first heard the name Neo-Umbrella. Why Ada named her organization such is a question only she can answer.
Piers' File
The following file can be found in Resident Evil 6
All the men in Piers Nivans' family have been in the military, going all the way back to his great-grandfather. For as long as he could remember, Piers wanted to follow in his father's footsteps. He graduated at the top of his class from an elite military academy, where he was highly recognized for his skills as a sniper. Following graduation, he joined the army's Special Forces.
Not long after joining the Special Forces, he became disillusioned. While he continued to participate in his drills without a hitch, he yearned for some greater calling, a reason for all this training. In 2010, he found that calling when Chris Redfield, impressed with Piers' sniper skills, asked him to join the BSAA.
Piers was impressed with the way Chris ran Alpha Team; he treated them like a family and not like expendable soldiers. Chris, for his part, knew he couldn't be a field agent forever, which is why he recruited Piers. Chris believes the future of the BSAA lies with talented individuals like Piers, and Piers, for his part, now has a cause worth fighting for.
Chris and Albert
The following file can be found in Resident Evil 6
Chris Redfield and Albert Wesker, Jake Muller's father, have a history that goes back to when the two were on the same S.T.A.R.S. team and encountered the world's first known B.O.W.s during the Mansion Incident in 1998. It turned out later that this "accident" was engineered by Albert, who was working for Umbrella. As a result, Chris lost many good friends and colleagues.
Chris set out to stop Umbrella and prevent the spread of B.O.W.s, which led him into conflict with Albert on numerous occasions. In 2009, Chris found himself in Africa as he attempted to stop Albert from murdering a majority of the planet's population. During their battle, Albert mutated himself into a B.O.W., but he was killed thanks to Chris and his partner, Sheva Alomar. Thankfully, Albert's plans of global genocide were never realized.
Jake Muller's Infamous Father
The following file can be found in Resident Evil 6
Albert Wesker, father of Jake Muller, had a very rare physiology. His body was highly resistant to viral infection, and he was even able to manipulate the virus he had injected into himself so that he would only reap their benefits and none of its deleterious effects. This self-experimentation gave him abilities that can only be described as superhuman.
As Albert's son, Jake enjoys the same immunity to viral infection. When Jake injects himself with a solution containing the C-Virus, it has no visible effect on him.
Albert Wesker planned what would have been the deadliest terrorist attacks in human history. and he would have succeeded had Chris Redfield and the BSAA not killed him in time.
Jake has never met his father and knows nothing about the atrocities he committed. He is also unaware of the genetic legacy he is heir to.
Stuart's Memo - Claire and Moira 1
The following secret file can be unlocked in Resident Evil: Revelations 2 by obtaining the in-game medals
I thought it prudent to keep notes on some of the more promising candidates in this round of experiments. I noticed that subjects no. 2 and no. 6, Claire Redfield and Moira Burton, have been working together since the beginning. My curiosity piqued, I decided to look into these two and found they have a deeper relationship that goes beyond that of just co-workers.
It might be fair to say their friendship has its origins in the Raccoon City Incident back in 1998. Claire, a university student at the time, was one of the few survivors. Meanwhile, her brother Chris Redfield and Moira's father, Barry Burton, were members of the special forces unit S.T.A.R.S. that was involved in the events leading up to the incident. Following Raccoon City, Chris became one of the founding members of the BSAA. Though Barry relocated his family to Canada for safety concerns, he would continue to be an activist against bioterrorism, eventually accepting a position as a BSAA consultant after an invitation from Chris.
It was through Chris that Barry and Claire met, and the three became close, with Barry taking on a mentor-like role to the two parentless siblings.
Claire and Moira would also become friends, leading to Moira's desire to join Terra Save. That is also what landed her on Neil's candidate list. Meeting Claire was less than fortuitous for the young lady.
I find it deliciously ironic. Following the events of Raccoon City, Barry moved his family away to protect them. However, the friends he made during that time would only serve to further put his family in danger.

Hey Chris,
I heard you just got back from Africa. Some crazy shit went down there. Glad to hear you're OK.
And better yet, you brought Jill back! When I heard the news I was so happy I could've done cartwheels down the streets! Not that my knees would allow for that kind of thing anymore.
I mean, after all the shit the three of us have been through... Y'know, we gotta look our for each other, watch each other's backs. But I don't have to tell you the value of having a good partner now, do I?
Well, you just got back so you need some time to recover. Take it easy, you hear? If I hear you're hitting the gym again, I'm gonna come down and kick your ass personally!
I know things are gonna be a bit crazy for awhile for you and Jill, but when you're both settled in let's all go out for a drink or something. It's been too long.

E-Mail from Piers to Claire

Dear Claire,
On behalf of our unit, I just wanted to say it was real nice to get to see you the other day. Thank you for taking the time to talk with everyone. The guys really appreciated it.
I know you were surprised by the men's reaction upon first seeing you. Let me explain. When we heard that Terra Save would be arriving on location, well, the men knew that you'd be coming and so they got a bit excited over the idea. They'd only heard stories about you, and since you're the Captain's sister, well...let's just say they were expecting someone more along the lines of his build. I tried to tell them otherwise, but their imaginations got the best of them.
So then when you arrived...well, aside from not being what they expected, we don't get to interact with a lot of pretty women in our line of work, so that's why they had the reaction that they did. Then they had to remember that you're the Captain's sister, and it made them all awkward... I'm sorry about that, ma'am.
You probably saw it for yourself, but we all have a lot of admiration and respect for the captain. In addition to being a very capable leader, he treats us like family. He's an inspiration to us all.
Speaking for the men, we're all looking forward to the chance to work with you again. Our paths may not cross often, and I know you're busy, but it'd be nice to talk every now and then, even through email. Just between you and me, if you have any pictures of the Captain when he was younger, I'd sure love to see them! I hear he was very different back then, but he won't show us anything...
There's a lot more I'd like to say, but it's time to get ready for our next posting. These missions aren't easy, but it's nice to know we've got allies such as your organization backing us up. Keep fighting the good fight.

Hey Barry,
How's it going? I hope you're up to your usual wise-cracking self.
I'm back from Africa. I heard from Chris that after my fight with Wesker, the BSAA listed me officially as KIA, and that you took the news pretty hard.
I'm sorry to have caused you such grief. I'm alive and none the worse for wear! Although I do look a bit different now. Well, you'll see.
So how are Kathy and the girls doing? Have you managed to patch things up with Moira yet? Girls in their teens can be a nightmare to deal with. I know because I used to be one. You just have to be patient and understanding. And sometimes you just have to give them their space. I know you want to protect her, but you have to be sure you don't become overbearing.
But hey, that's just my two cents. I can already hear you saying, "Yeah yeah, I'm the one with the kids." I'll leave it at that. But I do hope you've managed to smooth things over. Since you've become a consultant for the BSAA, well, I don't have to explain the job and its dangers to you. So every minute you can spend with those you love is valuable time.
As for me, ever since getting back I've been locked up in this lab as they run tests on me day in and day out. It's every bit as boring as it sounds. Rehab should be starting soon, so that's something to look forward to. At this point I'd take a battlefield full of B.O.W.s over looking at another test tube again.
We should all meet up when I'm back on my feet again. It'll be blast!

P.S. I heard I didn't even get a funeral. So that means I should be getting one hell of a welcome back party...right, Barry? ;)
