Chris Redfield is a male video game character who features in Resident Evil.

Biography

Chris Redfield (Japanese: クリス・レッドフィールド, Hepburn: Kurisu Reddofīrudo) was a male human born in the modern age where he was the older brother of Claire Redfield.

It was noted that he began his military career in the United States Air Force where he gained a service record filled with both commendations and disciplinary actions. Chris's various conflicting traits earned him his awards but also brought him into conflict with his superiors. Unable to settle these differences, Redfield ultimately came to retire from the United States Air Force. After retirement, he came to be scouted by Racoon City's special forces unit known as S.T.A.R.S. due to his unique set of skills. Accepting the offer, he joined as the point man for Alpha Team where he served as a scout and tasked with securing positions in the field.

In the Spring of 1998, Raccoon City was haunted by a series of cannibalistic murders and animal attacks on hikers and residents living near Raccoon Forest. The R.P.D. suspected the attacks were perpetrated by a satanic cult who would consume massive quantities of narcotics in order to carry out the gruesome attacks on men, women, and children as a sacrifice, which included violent facial mutilations and evisceration. Police progress went as far as establishing the Arklay Mountains to the northwest of the city as a likely base of the cult's operations, but could not identify any suspects. After two months of little progress and a growing death list, the RPD gave in to public pressure and put S.T.A.R.S. on the case. On 23 July, the S.T.A.R.S. Bravo Team travelled into the mountains to verify the existence of the suspected hideout, but was downed during a storm and lost radio contact. The following night, the Alpha Team was sent out into the same area to investigate the loss of contact. There they discovered the corpse of its pilot, Kevin Dooley, and were soon after attacked by a pack of dogs, who killed Frost. Taken entirely by surprise, Alpha Team were unable to put up a fight and were forced to run into a mansion when their pilot, Brad Vickers, took off without them. Chris lost his Samurai Edge during the chase and was unable to recover it.

Redfield, Burton, Wesker, and Valentine split up to investigate the mansion. Redfield found Bravo Team member Rebecca Chambers, whose team had also sought shelter in the mansion and split up. It became clear by the early hours of the morning that the mansion had links to Umbrella U.S.A. and was constructed by Umbrella Pharmaceuticals co-founder, Oswell E. Spencer. A laboratory was also found on the grounds, which was used for illegal bio-weapons research on behalf of the United States military. It was discovered that a strain of the t-Virus escaped containment and infected the staff, turning them into Zombies which were responsible for the bizarre murders in Raccoon Forest. Captain Wesker was discovered to have been an agent for the corporation's intelligence department and had received orders from the company to destroy the facility to cover-up their connection to the killings and silence any witnesses. When Wesker released the Tyrant (T-002 Model) from containment, it seriously injured him before being killed at the laboratory's helipad just before the facility's self-destruction. Redfield, Valentine, Burton, and Chambers escaped on Brad's' helicopter, while Wesker, recovered thanks to a Prototype virus he had infected himself with, escaped on foot.

He continued his search but was unable to find Wesker's location. This was until a few years ago when BSAA received intelligence on the whereabouts of Ozwell E. Spencer. The European Headquarters authorised an operation to capture the mysterious Umbrella founder with agents Redfield and Valentine dispatched on the assignment. Chris had hoped that arresting Spencer would lead to further information that could lead to the capture of Wesker. The two agents arrived at the site and entered the mansion where they found Spencer had been murdered by Albert Wesker. Wesker then battled the two where his superhuman nature allowed him to outfight the two BSAA agents. In desperation, Jill Valentine tackled Wesker in an effort to save Chris thus sending her and Albert tumbling out the window seemingly to their deaths.
