Matthew

Matthew was a civilian living in Raccoon City at the time of the viral outbreak.

Background
He managed to escape into the Raccoon Zoo searching for the evac center located by the Tram terminal in front of the zoo. He took damage on his way and took shelter in the office, where you will see him standing injured. If you don't kill the infected Titan before going into the office, it will break through the wall and grab Matthew, killing him. But if you kill the elephant before entering the office, you can approach him and he will say "Be careful. Those things will kill you in a heartbeat."

Whether Matthew was able to survive the destruction of Raccoon City or not is unknown. However, taking into consideration that he was badly wounded once he got into the office, it is almost certain that he did not make it out alive from Raccoon City, let along Raccoon Zoo.
