Linda Baldwin

Linda was an Umbrella Corporation researcher. She worked in the commercial Umbrella facility in Raccoon City along with Carter.

Biography
During the outbreak, Linda returned to her laboratory to retrieve a sample of an experimental reagent, AT1521, to counteract the effects of the t-virus. Unfortunately, a lockdown occured in the building shortly after her arrival, cutting off Linda; Carter, and a group of survivors off from the exit, trapping them in with a group of vicious Hunters.

To protect the themselves, Carter released a Tyrant stored in the lab and reprogrammed it to take on the Hunters. Linda was uneasy, but went along with the plan, which turned out good at first, but proved to have disastrous consequences. The Tyrant rebelled, killing Carter, destroying the reagent sample, and knocking Linda off of a catwalk. She was later discovered by the other survivors alive, in the facility's waterworks, before being washed down the sewers. Despite this, she was able to make it to the Apple Inn, where she was shot in the leg by a UBCS mercenary named Arnold, under supervision of Tommy. With the help of the same survivors from before, Linda managed to escape from Raccoon City shortly before it was destroyed during Mission Code XX. After the incident, she and Yoko Suzuki testified against Umbrella in court, contributing to its eventual downfall.
