George Hamilton

You're worse than my ex-wife!

George Hamilton was a top-notch surgeon employed at Raccoon General Hospital. He didn't exactly take the lead and call the shots, but he did possess a cooperative spirit and the knack of easily acquiring other people's trust.

Biography
George was, until September 1998 at the latest, married for many years. In mid-September, George was attempting to cope with the breakup of his family and the stress of the long and difficult hours at the hospital, which was experiencing an influx of patients suffering a strange disease.

George is one of eight survivors that encounter perilous situations during the Outbreak in Raccoon City. He is the canon protagonist of The Hive and Decisions, Decisions scenarios. In The Hive, George and the other survivors take refuge in the Raccoon Hospital. Despite how safe things seem they begin to encounter zombies, the occasional Cerberus, and a new threat; the Leech Man, a corpse reanimated by a swarm of Leeches. George and the others also encounter Dr. Hursh, who engages the hospitals power before being attacked by the Leech Man. They later attempt an escape through the sewers, but end up encountering a giant leech which they are forced to fight off before they can leave.

In Decisions, Decisions George is shown taking refuge in a shelter with other uninfected civilians. He notices a letter from one of his friends, Peter Jenkins, attached to the wall and is instructed to go to Raccoon University. Upon arriving, he and the other survivors find Peter dead from a bullet wound and witness an Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service team being decimated by a freed Tyrant. This same Tyrant begins to chase the survivors throughout the building. They later encounter the researcher responsible for freeing it and hear him out before he is gunned down by a UBCS operative (Nicholai Ginovaef). This same operative detonates bombs that destroy the University just as they escape. The Tyrant survives, only to mutate into its stronger form. As a rescue helicopter lands close by, they fight the Tyrant and George kills it by shooting a spare virus antidote into its body.

Personality and description


Although George lives in relative luxury due to his highly demanding occupation, he has a naturally active lifestyle, and feels much more relaxed when camping or hiking. It is believed that he sometimes romanticized his profession, which more than likely led to the divorce of his wife. However, judging from the quote, "You're worse than my ex-wife!", it is implied that George's ex-wife did something to cause the divorce.

His special ability is making new medicines from herbs found in the field using his medical kit, which is in his inventory at the start of each scenario.

Often, George is paired up with Cindy Lennox, the blond waitress in the Outbreak series. This is due to the fact that in one of the possible endings for the first game, George and Cindy are the only "couple" ending to be shown. Strangely enough, the two have very different personalities. Cindy adores cute animals and girly possessions and George finds them annoying and bratty. The only thing they seem to have in common is that they need herbs to put their special abilities to use. In the game, he also has a positive relation value with Kevin Ryman. However, he doesn't have a good relationship with Alyssa Ashcroft, due to her stubbornness and pushiness.

Appearance
During the Outbreak, George wears a white and yellow plaid shirt with a burgundy-colored vest, charcoal-colored dinner jacket, gray suit pants and brown dress shoes.

His extra costumes include a yellow Raccoon Volunteer Corps parka ("Outdoor Expert" George: B) and blue operating room scrubs ("Operation X" George:C).

Inventory
Personal Item: Medical Set

George carried his personal Medical Set with him at all times, allowing him to make medications for the group from various combination of herbs.

The types of pills he can make are as follows:


 * Green Herb = Antidote (cures poison status)
 * Red Herb = Hemostat (cures bleeding status)
 * Blue Herb = Recovery Medicine (heals a small portion of the player's health)
 * Blue + Red Herb = Recovery Medicine [L] (heals a large portion of the player's health)
 * Blue + Green Herb = Anti Virus (freezes the virus gauge for about a minute)
 * Blue + Green + Red Herb = Anti Virus [L] (freezes the virus gauge for about three minutes)

In File #2, large versions of the pills were replaced with three stacked versions of the small pills. Red herbs could also be combined with the green herbs to make three antidotes.

Extra Item (Outbreak File #2 Only): Capsule Shooter

By loading capsules made with the Medical Set into the Capsule shooter, George could fire "healing bullets" at his friends, making their effects stronger. By loading an Anti Virus caplet into the chamber, George could often drop all but the strongest creatures with a single shot.

Special Abilities
George has a dodge-tackle that when used at the right time, he can evade an enemy and even make a strike back. The dodge-tackle must be charged by holding down the circle (O) button and R1 for about four seconds to knock an enemy backwards temporarily.

After Raccoon City
After the Raccoon City incident, George can be seen flying in an airplane, typing on his laptop. He says that he will stop by the University Research Lab soon, there are things he has been meaning to look into. He is then seen at an airport, stating "I should be quite busy."

George could possibly be looking into vaccines to prevent another viral outbreak.

Resident Evil: The Deck Building Game
George as been revealed to be a new character in the second Resident Evil DBG expansion, Outbreak. George's abilities primarily involve the use of Herbs, much like Claire Redfield in Alliance. George's Level 1 effect allows George to trash an herb in his hand without needing the Herbs effect to trash it. But if it was a Red Herb, George is given an extra Explore that turn. His Level 2 effect allows him to draw cards based on how many Herb cards are in his hand. George has 80 Health. So far, he seems to only be a promo card, but may become available once Outbreak is released.

Trivia

 * If George is not chosen as a character or ally in the Decisions, Decisions scenario, he will be mortally wounded by an unknown creature whilst searching Raccoon University's boathouse.


 * George was employed by the Raccoon General Hospital, the same building destroyed by Nicholai Ginovaef during Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. George was also a close colleague of Dr. Hursh, the man killed during The Hive scenario.


 * Ironically, pairing Cindy and George up together is very often a bad idea as they do sometimes conflict with each other by not coming to each others aid. It is also a bad idea as they both heavily rely upon a lot of herbs.
 * His name may have been inspired from Alyssa Hamilton, the main character in another Capcom game Clock Tower 3.
