Rodriguez

Rodriguez was an Umbrella Corporation employee operating within the Umbrella Security Service.

Biography
Little is known about Rodriguez, other than that he was stripped of his authority for plotting against the corporation. The Umbrella executive Tommy Neilson was dispatched to locate him, and set a U.B.C.S. unit under Arnold to do the task.

During the Raccoon City Destruction Incident that claimed Raccoon City, Rodriguez agreed to transport the scientist Linda, as well as the bio-weapon Nyx, out of the ruined city. Although not explicitly stated, it is implied that the capsule containing Nyx was the experiment whose theft brought the wrath of Umbrella down on Rodriguez.

Just before they were set to leave, Linda realized that she'd left something very important in the laboratory: AT1521, an experimental reagent to suppress the growth of the Tyrant virus. After a brief argument, he allowed her to go, warning her that he'd abandon her if the need arose. Eventually, Rodriguez left following the announcement of "Mission Code XX," the code name for the sterilization of the city via airstrike. The capsule containing Nyx then fell from the helicopter after an attack by a stinger missile fired by Neilson. Because of this, the player has to escape by highway, fighting Nyx along the way, and reuniting with Rodriguez after the strike at a rest stop a few miles outside the city.

In all the endings, weather the player escapes Raccoon City with Rodriguez or via the highway after beating Nyx, Rodriguez is left alive. It is unknown if he joined Yoko and Linda in exposing Umbrella to the public or not.
