HUNK

HUNK is an operative for the Umbrella Corporation who first appeared in Resident Evil 2. Very little is known about HUNK, yet he usually is involved in behind-the-scene events in the Resident Evil timeline.

Resident Evil 2
HUNK made his first appearance in Resident Evil 2 during a flashback cutscene about midway through the game. Depending on the scenario, Annette Birkin explains to either Claire Redfield or Ada Wong how the outbreak in Raccoon City began: Her husband William had developed a powerful, mutagenic bioweapon called the G-Virus, but refused to relinquish it to Umbrella. In response, the company sent in a team of commandos led by HUNK to steal it from him. One operative shoots Birkin repeatedly, and the commandos take a carrying case containing vials of both the G-Virus and the previously developed T-Virus. Birkin, who had been holding an additional sample of the G-Virus, injects himself with it, mutating into an unstoppable monster. He pursues the commandos through the sewers, murdering them one by one. Their MP5 submachine guns seemingly have little effect on him, and only HUNK survives. During the battle, Birkin crushes several vials of the T-Virus under his foot, and the virus is subsequently spread through the city by rats. By the end of the cutscene, it is presumed that all the commandos have been killed.

The 4th Survivor
Resident Evil 2 contains one of only two minigames in the entire series to have canonical implications. In The 4th Survivor, HUNK awakened in the sewers near the Raccoon City Police Station. His entire team had been wiped out, but he still possessed an intact vial of the G-Virus. Armed with a 9mm pistol, an upgraded shotgun, a Desert Eagle, and a minimal supply of healing items, HUNK made his way through the precinct to the roof, fighting the B.O.W.'s running loose, where he was extracted from the city by helicopter.

Certain elements make The 4th Survivor difficult to place within the timeline&mdash;namely, the presence of Mr. X after all of the station's doors have been unlocked. HUNK also encounters several Ivies, who have no right being in the police station at all. It should also be noted that HUNK's armament closely resembles Leon's, and he is missing an MP5 like those used by his team in the flashback. This may be explained by stating that it was used for entertainment purposes, and not entirely canon, and only the idea that HUNK captured the Virus was true.

Nonetheless, Resident Evil: Dead Aim confirms that the G-Virus was in Umbrella's hands after the demise of Raccoon City. The most plausible explanation for that fact is the canonicity of The 4th Survivor. The canonicity of the minigame is further reinforced with its mention in Wesker's Report, a series of documents narrated by Wesker stretching through the Resident Evil timeline.

The Umbrella Chronicles
Fourth Survivor is a retelling of the bonus scenario introduced in Resident Evil 2. It covers special agent HUNK's mission to return the G-Virus sample to Umbrella. In this remake, radio interference causes the player to pick up a variety of transmissions, such as the police's doomed attempts to fight the zombies, the last broadcast of a surrounded radio station, advertisements for various Umbrella products, and the dying pleas of HUNK's teammates. Also in this remake, although not seen directly, HUNK's face is seen in a reflection of the glass of the canister of the G-virus. This is the third instance in which HUNK's face can be seen. It is seen first in Resident Evil 3 after beating the game a certain number of times when the credit screen image shows HUNK in the escape helicopter with his mask off. Another time HUNK's full face can be seen is in Resident Evil Outbreak File 2 using a copy of Gameshark to unlock what are apparently RE:File 3 costumes where maskless HUNK is a playable character. HUNK makes it to the roof of the police department and is picked up by a rescue chopper.

Other appearances

 * In Resident Evil 3, completing the game on Hard Mode gives the player an Epilogue File. The 8th and final such file shows HUNK having successfully completed his mission in Raccoon City.  The file shows HUNK without his mask and implies that his fellow operatives have nicknamed him "Mr. Death" due to the fact that he is frequently the only survivor of the missions to which he is assigned.
 * A note can be found in Resident Evil Code: Veronica which was written by HUNK to Alfred Ashford. HUNK informs Ashford that he has successfully delivered a large container from the Antarctic facility to Rockfort Island.  However, he is puzzled that his team, which specializes in combat, was assigned to a simple delivery mission.  He also resents not being told the contents of the container, a condition which could have been hazardous for his team. This is also an example that HUNK cares very little for umbrella, that he is a Mercenary who completes his missions.
 * HUNK is a playable character in the The Mercenaries Minigame in Resident Evil 4. He is armed with a TMP and a small amount of grenades; his signature moves are the Riot Kick and the Neckbreaker, which is an instant kill move, capable of killing the Bella sisters on the Village stage.
 * "The 4th Survivor" is an unlockable mission in Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles for the Nintendo Wii, in which HUNK is playable.


 * It is possible that HUNK will appear in resident evil 5. Someone who looks very much like him is seen firing an RPG to open a big door for chris redfield:[]
