Richard Aiken

Richard was the communications expert for Bravo Team, and also supplied communications for Alpha Team.

After being attacked in the Raccoon Forest, Richard, along with most of the other Bravo team members, made his way to the Spencer Mansion. In the mansion Richard entered the attic in an attempt to contact the rescue helicopter, and was bitten by the giant snake called Yawn. Poisoned and bleeding, Richard was found by fellow S.T.A.R.S. member Jill Valentine, or Chris Redfield and Rebecca Chambers. Richard, in the original version of the game, dies here. Although, in the Gamecube version of the game, if the player manages to get the serum to Richard before he succumbs to the poison, then he will live for a little while longer.

Once Richard fully recovered, he aids Jill in fighting Yawn, where he is eaten after pushing Jill out of the way of an attack from the giant snake. However, in Chris's scenario, Richard does not show up for the battle with Yawn but instead is met in the basement by Chris. Here Richard, just like with Jill's scenario, saves Chris's life from a mutated Shark but at the cost of his own life. In either one of the scenarios. before dying Richard gives the player his radio, which is used to contact Brad Vickers in the escape helicopter and hitch a ride home.
