Burnside



Burnside was an employee of Umbrella Pharmaceutical, inc.. He was found out by the company for selling their research onto black market auctions without permission. He and his son Steve were kidnapped and imprisoned on Rockfort Island whilst his wife was gunned down.

During the Rockfort Island outbreak, Mr. Burnside was infected and became a zombie. When he attacked survivor Claire Redfield, Steve - who was accompanying her - finally unleashed his pain from being imprisoned and gunned him down, moments before he would have bitten Claire.

Trivia

 * Coincidentally, Mr. Burnside is similar to John La Roca, an undead character from Route 666, a zombie film. Similar because both were once prisoners who were soon turned into zombies and had sons who would have to fight their fathers. However, La Roca’s son had to help his father in the end but Steve had to destroy his father.
