HUNK

"There's a war, survival is your responsibility" -HUNK

Special Agent HUNK is the codename of an Umbrella Special Forces Commando Team Leader in the service of the Umbrella Corporation. HUNK is highly prestigious and has a considerable reputation, as on the incredibly dangerous missions he and his men are normally sent on, HUNK is often the only one who returns alive, always successful. As such, HUNK is regarded as Death incarnate; or simply "Mr. Death", to which he believes is true as "Death Cannot Die". It is unknown what has became of HUNK following the fall of Umbrella. HUNK has been featured as a behind-the-scenes character in the series, but has a considerable effect on history.

Early History
Nothing is known about HUNK's history, even his real name. Also, he rarely allows others outside Umbrella to see his true face (normally wearing his trademark gas mask).

Raccoon City Outbreak
"Stop firing! You might hit the sample!"

HUNK and his team, at the order of French Division Research and Development Head Manager Christine Henri, were ordered to journey to Raccoon City and retrieve/steal a sample of a powerful, mutagenic bioweapon called the G-Virus, created by Umbrella Chief Scientist William Birkin (when it was discovered Birkin was planning to betray his employers and deliver his creation to the U.S. Government).

HUNK and his men infiltrated Birkin's lab in the Raccoon Underground Research Facility, only to find Birkin was ready for them with a loaded gun. HUNK initially tried to reason with the paranoid scientist, but Birkin was adamant in not surrendering his life's work, and one of HUNK's commandos, who's trigger finger proved too itchy, opened fire and injured Birkin in a hailstorm of bullets. HUNK ordered him to stop shooting or risk damaging the samples, and so the team took the case containing samples of the G and T-Virus', and departed.

As the team headed for the extraction point via. the Raccoon City Sewer System, the team was confronted by Birkin, now a horrifically-mutated monstrosity named "G" after injecting an additional sample of the G-Virus, which he had been holding onto, into his own body. Birkin, having successfully pursued the commandos, scattered and slaughtered them, their weapons having no effect on him. After finishing off HUNK's team, Birkin crushed several vials from the spilled-open sample case, and subsequently sewer rats spread the virus throughout the city via. the sewer network.

Only HUNK survived, escaping the sewers nearby the Raccoon City Police Department. Despite the deaths of his teammates, HUNK barely reacts to their loss (it has happened before), and HUNK even managed to retain possession an intact G-Virus vial. Regaining contact with his team's insertion helicopter, HUNK arranged to meet them on the roof of the Police Station. As he made his way to safety, the open channel of HUNK's radio picked up a wide variety of transmissions e.g. the police's doomed attempts to fight the zombies, the last broadcast of a surrounded radio station, advertisements for various Umbrella products, and even the dying pleas of fellow USS Commandos being overrun by the zombies and creatures, with HUNK refusing to assist them,since he had his strict orders. After making his way through the precinct, battling Zombies and B.O.W.s running loose, HUNK reached the roof and was extracted by helicopter and escaped Raccoon City, his mission successful.

Status
What became of HUNK or what he is currently doing following the fall of Umbrella is,for now, unknown.

Other appearances

 * There is an unlockable epilogue file in Resident Evil 3: Nemesis that shows HUNK without his helmet and mask sitting on an Umbrella helicopter following his successful mission.
 * There is a hidden skin in Resident Evil Outbreakof HUNK. There is one model where he wears his mask and helmet, and one where he isn't wearing them.
 * Mentioned in Wesker's Report
 * 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.

Trivia

 * He was voiced by Keith Silverstein in Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles.
 * He is the only prominent character to wear a helmet and a gasmask in a combat situation.
 * He is possibly the most mysterious character due to how little is known about him.
