Biography
Cortini joined the Arklay County Sheriff's Department at some time prior to the t-Virus outbreak in Raccoon City in late September 1998.

On the night of September 29, 1998, Cortini responded to a disturbance at the Mizoil Gas Station, where he tried to arrest a zombie, under the impression that the infected was a deranged person. He was heard telling newly-arrived Raccoon Police Department (RPD) officer Leon S. Kennedy to stay back while he struggled with the infected man and that he had control of the situation. During the ensuing struggle, he was forced to the ground, where his throat was savaged by the zombie, resulting in his death.

Ghost Survivors
In the what-if scenario in Ghost Survivors, Cortini is able to shoot the zombie. Before he is able to leave the shop, he realizes that he is now surrounded by various creatures and cannot escape. With this, the he holds out for as long as he can against the zombies.

Miraculously, Leon, who arrived to investigate as well, saves Cortini.
