Carlos Olivera was a former U.B.C.F. operative serving under the Umbrella Corporation until 2002, where he joined an anti-Umbrella, and later, a survivors convoy after the Global t-Virus outbreak.

Biography
In October 2002, Carlos was a member of an Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Force unit during the 2002 t-Virus outbreak in Raccoon City. While returning from a mission, Carlos disobeyed orders which were issued by Umbrella, and preceded to rescue a citizen who was being attacked by a group of zombies. However, the survivor was bitten in the arm and thus infected with the virus. Knowing that she would eventually die, the survivor decided to commit suicide by jumping off the building.

While the attempted rescue was a failure, Carlos and his partners Nicholai Ginovaef and Yuri Loginova later received orders to assist the Special Tactics And Rescue Squad and the R.P.D. officers at an extraction point located in the heart of Raccoon City. After losing Yuri to an infected wound and becoming a zombie, Carlos is bitten and infected by his partner, forcing him to shoot Yuri in the head.

Later on, Nicholai and Carlos both become rogue agents after Umbrella failed to get them out of the city. Carlos and Nicholai were contacted at some point by Dr. Charles Ashford, who offered them a way out of the city in exchange for the rescue of his daughter Angela Ashford, who was trapped inside the Raccoon City Junior School. Carlos met Lloyd Jefferson Wayne inside the school after saving him from a zombie who caught him off-guard. They both team up, and eventually meet up with Alice and Jill Valentine.

Unfamiliar with each other, Alice and Carlos prepared to fire on each other when L.J intervenes and vouches for Carlos as someone on their side. As Carlos' infection worsens, Alice, aware that he's been bitten, pronounces him fortunate and on the way to City Hall, she administers the Anti-virus which counters Carlos' t-virus infection.

Carlos later manages to help find a way out of the city by using Umbrella's last escort from City Hall before Raccoon City is destroyed by a nuclear weapon; the shock wave from the explosion hits the helicopter, causing it to crash somewhere in the Arklay Mountains. Everyone, except Alice, survived and they fled the scene before Umbrella arrived.

Three weeks after the Raccoon City disaster, Carlos and Jill both infiltrate the Umbrella Detroit Medical Facility and rescue Alice, who was reanimated using the t-virus. As they depart from Umbrella grounds, Dr. Sam Isaacs orders to let them go and activates "Project Alice", unbeknownst to the group.

Five years after the Raccoon City disaster, Carlos and L.J. have joined with Claire Redfield's convoy of survivors, traveling through the Nevada Desert and the ruins of Las Vegas. Carlos, L.J., and survivors K-Mart, Mikey, Otto, Chase, and Betty fought to survive extinction against hordes of zombies, killer crows, and the most terrifying creatures created as a result of the deadly t-Virus that has killed millions.

They are later reunited with Alice, who uses her t-Virus abilities to kill the crows attacking the defenseless convoy. After she recovers from the energy spent in the attack, she reveals the journal that holds the coordinates to Arcadia, a possible safe haven for survivors. Alice and Carlos are able to reconcile when she admits that her departure was to keep the others safe from Umbrella (who were tracking her with their satellite).



In a battle against a horde of Enhanced zombies, Carlos was bitten and infected by a undead L.J., who died during a battle in the ruins of Las Vegas. Knowing that his time was up, Carlos volunteered to sacrifice himself in order to save the remaining survivors. Before his departure, he and Alice admit their feelings for each other with a kiss. After Alice promises to make Umbrella pay, he took a tanker truck rigged with dynamite and plowed through the blockade of zombies surrounding the gated facade for the underground Umbrella facility.after that he was ready he light up a smoke and ran with the survivors and got the anti-virus when he and alice went into the hive and fought dr issacs and was able to kill issacs and carlos disapeard and found out he was captured by umbrella and cloned.

Afterlife
Carlos was mentioned alongside Mikey and L.J. by Alice in an attempt to help amnesiac Claire recover her memories. The effort was thought to have been made in vain, however, Claire eventually regained her memories once they arrived to Arcadia, a roaming ship under the control of Albert Wesker.

Retribution
Not unlike Rain and One, Carlos is cloned by Umbrella for the purposes of testing the T-virus and working for the company in the effort to recapture Alice. Neither version of the clones appear to retain any memories of the original, instead are programmed to believe they are either the husband of Alice or her enemy.

The suburban clone of Carlos known as "Todd" is married to “suburban Alice” and the caring father of Becky. He first appears rushing to get ready for work and urges his wife to get out of bed so the two of them can take Becky to school. During breakfast, he stains his shirt and leaves to change it when he is attacked by a Plaga undead. He struggles in vain against the monster, but before he is overpowered he tells Alice to get Becky to safety.

When Alice leaves their daughter in the closet of another house they took refuge in, she uses herself a bait to lure the Plaga undead from her daughter. Though she successfully defeats the creature, she is taken from behind by her husband, who has become one of the Plaga undead.

The second clone of Carlos works alongside Jill Valentine and the others, a hardened soldier for the Umbrella Corporation. Though his team manages to capture Ada Wong and kill Barry Burton, he is killed when the bomb that Leon Kennedy's strike team planted on the surface above the Umbrella facility, detonates and floods the entire facility.

DeCandido continuity
On the run from the authorities, Carlos and the others formed a Anti-Umbrella group in order to oppose the Umbrella corporation. At an unknown point of time Alice and Jill left the company; in the novelization of Extinction, Alice's departure is a result of the guilt she feels for killing Angela Ashford. Jill was spotted by the FBI and surrendered to them, allowing the rest of the group to avoid capture. Sometime during the global outbreak of the t-Virus, Carlos and L.J. joined Claire Redfield's convoy.
