Marvin Branagh

Marvin Branagh was an officer of the Raccoon City Police Department.

Biography
While still serving at the police station, Marvin rallied a small group of the collected survivors present to continue fending off the undead. Soon, the grim reality set in that nowhere was safe, not even the police station.

Shortly before rescue arrived for the group, Marvin was fatally bitten across the chest by a zombie. Knowing he was beyond help, and professional to the end, Marvin decided to remain behind, buying time for the others and locking himself in the west office.

Shortly after this, he fell unconscious due to the injuries he had sustained, and was later discovered by Jill Valentine when she fled into the police station to escape from the Nemesis. Jill mistook his unconsciousness as a state for death commenting that "he is fatally wounded". On her way out of the Police Station his body is nowhere to be found in the office room.

Marvin remained in the Police Station until Claire Redfield arrived and found him in the office. By this time, Marvin was awake and had since become the only surviving officer besides Leon Scott Kennedy, Chief of Police Brian Irons, and Elliot Edward who was killed on the roof sometime later.

Marvin informed Claire of her brother's involvement in the Mansion Incident with the other members of the Special Tactics And Rescue Service; a rescue-based special forces unit. Marvin lamented he and the other R.P.D officers didn't believe their warnings about the experiments of the Umbrella Corporation.

He concluded by requesting Claire find the other survivors and forget about him, which Claire attempted to argue. Desperately, Marvin rose his gun to the teenager ordering her to leave, though she complied, she promised to return. As she left, Marvin locked the door behind her knowing that he would soon become a zombie.

A while later, Claire found a way back into the office just as Marvin succumbed to his wounds and transformed into a zombie. Claire was forced to kill him after he tried to attack her.

Darkside Chronicles
In Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles scenario, Memories of a Lost City, Marvin once again portrays the role he carried in Resident Evil 2. Unlike the original game, he is found in the main lobby of the station and introduces himself to Leon and Claire with his full name. He jokingly welcomes Leon to his party and refers to himself as Leon's (would-be) boss.

He requests the two to go look for survivors in the other rooms while he remains in the lobby continuing to suffer from his wounds. While chasing Sherry Birkin towards the lobby, the two discover that Marvin had become a zombie and are forced to take him down.
