Raven's Gate Priest

A local religious preacher who lived in Raccoon City prior to the T-virus outbreak and worked at the Raven's Gate Church

Biography
The priest lived in Raccoon City with his sister, whom he cared for and looked after and also worked with him in the church. He would usually preach about God's rules and would sometimes base his own "laws" on God's sayings. When the infection escaped from The Hive and the population was turning into undead, Umbrella quarantined the city limits. Unable to leave town, the Priest hid in his church with his sister and believed that the "dead rising" was a punishment from God for most people not following his "laws." It wasn't long before the living were outnumbered by the zombies and they headed for the Raven's Gate Bridge which was blocks away from the church and zombies easily started to appear near the building. In a stuggle with the infected, the Priest's sister was bitten. Knowing what his sister would become but loving her forever, he tied her to a chair in his studdy and held onto a bible for the rest of the time.

Shortly after,Angus Mackenzie, a telemarketer, arrived with a mgnum pistol asking for shelter. At first, the Priest was angry at him trespassing and commented on him bringing a gun into a church but allowed him to stay if he didn't go into the back (because of his sister).

After all exits out of the city were sealed, Peyton Wells, Jill Valentine and Terri Morales entered the church to get undercover but Angus hesitated to let them stay. The Priest, had no idea they were in the church, as he didn't know Lickers were on the roof of the place and entered, having seen the group go in. His sister kept trying to eat him so he was grabbing the bodies of the church's dead occupants and fed them to his sister to "control" her. Whenhe was spotted still alive by his sister, a struggle occured that the other heard. Jill went to his studdy and saw the two and the bodies that he was feeding her. Jill commented that he was a sick man and she finally broke out of the chair. She was almost shot by Jill but the priest jumped in the way and was bitten by her. Jill shot both as the Lickers attacked the others.

Trivia

 * His name is unknown.
 * The Priest was played by the father of the film's director, Alexander Witt.
 * In an extended sanctuary scene, the Priest came into the room himself when the group arrived and spoke that the zombies were the start of the end of times because the people have rejected his laws. Terri recorded his speech and said it would make the "final cut" before the zombiefied sister growled and Jill went to investigate. The Priest tried to stop her but Peyton pulled him aside to talk.
 * In the Resident Evil Apocalypse ending credits, the sister is credited as "Mrs. Priest," suggesting that she was actually the Priest's wife. In the first script, this may have been what she was.
 * He said that the dead walking was the beggining of the apocalypse, this was actually true. An infected scientist escaped the city and spread the virus in California and the Global T-Virus Outbreak began.
