Ethan Winters/gameplay

Ethan is the main playable character of Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. He begins the game with 12 inventory slots which can be expanded to 16 and 20. After the fight with Mia in the Guest House, Ethan will have the watch for the rest of the game which will display his health. The items Mia has after her section of the game will be transferred to Ethan's item box.
