Ben Bertolucci

Get that scum. MAKE HIM PAY!. Ben Bertolucci was reporter in Raccoon City prior to its destruction. He was quite interested in the less laudable dealings of the RPD management.

During the Outbreak
Before the Outbreak, Ben had checked himself into the Apple Inn. He then left the hotel, leaving his passport behind.

He then went to the South Raccoon Street Station, a Subway station. Due to the information of the Outbreak, including Umbrellas involvement, Chief Irons, who had become corrupted by Umbrella bribes, had police arrest him.

A ticket pass in his name was in the East Concourse, whilst a briefcase with the initials "BB" found in the East Entrance may have also been "Ben Bertolucci". The two locations may suggest he was running from the Police.

By the evening of the 27th or 28th, there were only 13 living people in the Police Station including himself. After an attempt to evacuate surviving officers ended in only 4 escaping, Ben seemed to have let two prisoners nearby escape, choosing to stay in.

Before Ben was visited by Leon and Ada in his jail cell, Officer Kevin Ryman and two other survivors (see: Canon in Resident Evil), of the outbreak took refuge in the police station. Ben provided them with an important crest in order for their escape, provided they delivered secret paperwork for him that he had lost along his way.

Ben had locked himself in a cell for his own safety, refusing to come out, but offering crucial information to visiting Leon S. Kennedy and Ada Wong on the 30th. He was later attacked by William Birkin, an Umbrella scientist infected with G-virus. He managed to survive long enough to tell Leon of Irons' corruption. He died just after finishing his sentence.
