George Hamilton

"You're worse than my ex-wife!"

George Hamilton was a leading surgeon employed at Raccoon General Hospital. While he didn't exactly take the lead and call the shots, 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. His character ties-in to the 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 zombie dog, and a new threat; the Leech Man, a corpse reanimated by a swarm of Leeches. George and the others also encounter Dr. Harsh, 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 the parking garage of the Raccoon City Police Department 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 Thanatos, a freed Tyrant. Thanatos begins to chase the survivors throughout the building. They later encounter Greg Mueller, the researcher responsible for freeing it, and listen to his story before he is gunned down by a U.B.C.S. operative (Nicholai Zinoviev). 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.

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.

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. It could also be noted that the two speak to each other with a kinder disposition when compared to speech with other characters. 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 & Wardrobe
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.

George has 2 alternate outfits that are unlockable:
 * Type B: Outdoor Expert, a special spying clothe, or sneaky type for instant. The shady hair somewhat shares the shame as Leon's, except the sunglasses.
 * Type C: Operation X, a head surgeon unit's standard. Not many of his carrying, even stethoscope, work at all. The "X" may numbers his operation cases.
