Arnold

Arnold was a U.B.C.S. commander assigned to a clandestine retrieval operation in Raccoon City by Umbrella executive Tommy Neilson.

Background
Arnold cared little about the operation, and instead turned killing the surrounding zombies into a sport, accidentally shooting Linda when he mistook her for another zombie. Upon realizing his error, Arnold continued his game, not phased in the slightest about whether or not his targets were human or zombie. Upon discovering Raccoon City's impending fate, Arnold abandoned the mission and his unit, choosing to save himself before the missile attack was launched.

Trivia

 * Arnold seems to have a similar personality to another UBCS leader Klaus, as he attacked Umbrella Executive Tommy Neilson, similar to Klaus attacking Roger.


 * Arnold's line "Ah well, fuck it" makes him one of the few, and the first, character in a Resident Evil game to use the word "Fuck".
 * He finds his clean up mission as a "hunting excursion". Having 100 "rodents" killed in one night.
 * His attitude on the situation resembles S.T.A.R.S member Michael Guthrie from the film Resident Evil Apocalypse, as both characters enjoy killing zombies with a Sniper Rifle.
