Biography
On 24 July 1998, the S.T.A.R.S. Alpha team was sent into the Arklay Mountains to investigate the disappearance of Bravo team, who lost radio contact with the Police the following night. Landing near Bravo team's abandoned helicopter, he abandoned his team-mates in the middle of the Raccoon Forest once he witnessed the death of fellow S.T.A.R.S. member Joseph Frost. Afterwards, he made multiple attempts to re-establish contact with his S.T.A.R.S. team-mates while flying around the Arklay Mountains. However, he was unable to receive any messages from the radio used by the survivors. He helped them to destroy the Tyrant T-002 by dropping a Rocket Launcher from the chopper and then rescued Chris, Jill, Rebecca and Barry.



When he found Jill on September 28th, during the Raccoon City Outbreak, he warned her of a creature's presence in the city and his hunt of S.T.A.R.S. members. Later, he joined Jill at the front gates of the police precinct, but was infected with the t-virus and killed there by the Nemesis, which had been pursuing him for days.

By 29 September, he awakened and had been fully reanimated as a zombie. He was then killed; again, by Claire Redfield, who was making her way to the police station.

To fight with the Brad Zombie in Resident Evil 2, you have to go through the first part of the game until you reach the area right outside of the RPD building without picking up any items or weapons on Scenario A, though it hardly seems worth it when you realize that you miss out on either a Shotgun(Leon) or Bowgun(Claire) from Kendo's corpse. You can also fight him in scenario b under the prequicitie that you defeated him in Scenario A

You receive a key from killing him that will allow you to change the costume of the Player Character.Clair will also be able to find a second handgun if you equip the cowgirl costume on her.
