Piers Nivans

I'm right there with you Captain, but your personal vendetta isn't going to get us anywhere!

Piers Nivans is a member of the North American Branch of the B.S.A.A., assigned to the SOU (Special Operations Unit). Nivans served under Chris Redfield during the events of Biohazard Marhawa Desire and Resident Evil 6.

Biography
Piers Nivans, the young ace of the B.S.A.A., is a naturally gifted marksman, much like his fellow captain Chris Redfield. Due to his extreme sharpness and concentration, he is known as "the man who never misses a target".

He is also characterized as a person with a strong sense of responsibility and an astute discernment, being able to influence his teammates into the correct course in the battlefield. It's because of these qualities that makes Piers a trusted and valuable comrade of Chris, who regards him as the figure that will lead the B.S.A.A. one day.

Important Scenes
He and Chris are seen aiming their guns at an Unidentified Woman, who appears to be one of the game's main antagonists.

He is also seen with Chris in somewhat of an underground facility, where he and Chris are the only survivors of what seems to be a syringe bomb containing the C-Virus that the woman throws into a group of Chris' men.
