Resident Evil Characters

Chris Redfield

Chris Redfield is a fictional character in the Resident Evil video game series. He is a member of the fictional Special Tactics And Rescue Service and serves as Alpha Team's point man. As a former member of the United States Air Force, he is also an experienced fighter pilot. Redfield returned as a playable character in Resident Evil Code: Veronica, who must search for, and ultimately rescue, his younger sister. He was voiced by Scott McCulloch (credited as "Charlie") in the original Resident Evil, Michael Fipowich in Resident Evil Code: Veronica and Joe Whyte in the Nintendo GameCube remake of the original title.

History

Chris debuted in the original Resident Evil title alongside fellow S.T.A.R.S. operative Jill Valentine. Chris' story is significantly harder than Jill's, due to Chris having a reduced carrying capacity, the absence of items such as the lockpick and grenade launcher afforded to Jill, and a far more passive supporting character.[citation needed] However, Chris is able to sustain more damage than Jill. His partner in the game is Rebecca Chambers, a rookie member of S.T.A.R.S. Bravo Team, who assists Chris with her expertise in chemistry and medicine.

Chris did not appear in Resident Evil 2. Instead, his younger sister, Claire, serves as one of the lead characters. Claire's plot revolves around her search for Chris following the events of the first game. It is later revealed that Chris had left Raccoon City, heading to Europe in order to further investigate the illegal activities of the Umbrella Corporation. However, Chris would appear as a bonus playable character in later versions of the release in the "Extreme Battle" minigame.

Chris returned as a lead character in Resident Evil Code: Veronica. Following the events of the first half of the game, the player takes control of Chris after learning of Claire's imprisonment on Rockfort Island. His mission takes him to Umbrella's secret lab in Antarctica, where he confronts Alexia Ashford, the creator of the T-Veronica Virus, and a resurrected Albert Wesker. He manages to save Claire and the two make their escape from the facility, vowing to destroy Umbrella together.
