Javier Hidalgo

Javier Hidalgo was the leader of the drug cartel, the "Sacred Snakes". He was the main target in the "Operation: Javier" segment of Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles, as he has taken de-facto control over a large area of jungle. He rules the entire area absolutely. The small government is unable to do anything about Javier’s control of the drug trade, so Jack Krauser and Leon S. Kennedy have been called in to infiltrate this small South American country and find him.

The drugs that Javier’s organization is producing have been contaminating surrounding countries, as well as finding their way into America. Javier was amassing a fortune in drug money, building up his own private army, and fortifying his operations. He was a wanted criminal in many countries, and is an uncommonly cruel man.

This ability to slip through the fingers of justice and gather other criminals is not something an ordinary person could accomplish. Javier has achieved his goals through the use of violence and strict control of the region. He rewards those who submit to him, and brutally punishes anyone who stands in his way, making harsh examples of anyone who opposes him. He rules his dominion through fear.

He had a daughter, Manuela Hidalgo with his wife Hilda. When Hilda became infected with the T-virus, Javier tried to save her with the Veronica virus; it worked, but Hilda became mutated. When Manuela became infected, Javier used the Veronica virus again and prevented her transformation by kidnapping young girls from a village and harvesting and transplanting their organs. In the 5th and final level of Operation Javier (excluding Krauser's two additional levels) Javier uses the plant in his botanical garden sex and fuses with it. His new formed body then detaches from the ground and makes its way through the mansion absorbing anything in its path. (much like William Birkins' fifth form) In the first part of its boss fight, Javier's newly formed arm smashes into the area where Hilda was killed porn and attacks Leon, Krauser, and Manuela but to no prevail part of his arm is lost and he is forced to extract into the outside of the mansion. In the final fight with Javier, the player must destroy his legs in order to cripple him but soon after he regenerates and his newly deformed body is shown through the head of his new form. Finally Javier is killed by a bullet to the head from Krauser (confirmed by the bonus Krauser levels) after he asks "Kill me!" In the bonus Krauser levels ending, Wesker is seen staring down at the burning remains of Javier through binoculars.
