Executioner Majini

A Majini seen carrying an enormous axe. The Executioner is a very large and disturbing foe wearing a blood-soaked black cloth over his head that conceals his face, and a large black apron, tattered and soaked in blood. He also has dozens of nails potruding from every few square inches of his exposed skin, including two very large hooks impaled into his back; if this was the case with a normal human being, they would be dead or in excruciating pain. His most notable feature, however, is his weapon of choice: a very large and heavy axe with what appears to be an oversized hammer opposite to the blade. Despite his power, the Executioner's role in the storyline is minimal, serving as the literal executioner in the death of Reynard Fisher. After some time has passed in the following swarm of Majini, the Executioner will enter the fray and try to kill Chris Redfield and Sheva Alomar. If the player does not kill him, he will disappear with all the other remaining Majini when Kirk arrives to blow open the gate.

Two modified versions of the Executioner appear in The Mercenaries mode. On Public Assembly, the Executioner has an increase range of mobility, meaning the player can not avoid him by jumping onto a separated platform. The special Executioner, The Executioner (Red) appears on the final stage Prison and is much faster than the previous version, his axe is a fiery red and you will notice he has an obvious weak spot, on his back is a large, pink, fleshy, spiky spot.

Killing the Executioner with normal weapons is quite easy to achieve on lower difficulties, provided you pick up a fair few hand grenades and keep shooting around his head area when he drops, or assault him when he drops. Upon dying, the Executioner will drop a gold ring. The reason behind the Executioner's exceptional vitality is a muscle and skin enhancing chemical, a unique secretion found only in the Executioner.

He also appears in the online Slayer mode and will go for the nearest player. Many other players will stall opponents, making them easy targets. Unlike the story mode, when faced on Slayer mode, he will die by (unrealistically) blowing up into chunks of gore. The Executioner is also available in Desperate Escape but is replaced by Reapers in Veteran and Professional.
