Kevin Ryman

Kevin Ryman was an officer of the Raccoon City Police Department. He possessed superior athletic abilities and was an outstanding marksman. An all-around good guy, he was a dyed-in-the-wool optimist who didn't dwell on petty matters. Even though Kevin's very cheery, his quote above relates to the fact, that he is also very impatient sometimes.

Biography


While his friendly and casual personality occasionally worked against him (a contributing factor to his two failures in the S.T.A.R.S. selection process), Kevin's personal dedication and drive to help others brought him to the attention of Police Chief Brian Irons, who eagerly accepted him into the newly formed Select Police Force.

Outbreak
On September 24th 1998, the t-virus that had plagued Raccoon City and its surrounding mountains for over four months finally reached critical levels. While at Jack's Bar with eight guests; Cindy Lennox the waitress and Will the bartender, the police became aware of the situation and prepared to evacuate civilians. A roadblock would be built up too late to stop Will from being mauled by a zombie, causing the occupants to flee before more arrived.

Several days later, Kevin reached the police department. With the majority of the force's officers either dead; infected or stranded elsewhere, he and two of the J's bar guests only had five fellow officers for company. Assisting with the evacuation of the police department, only he and Rita escaped. They drove away, determined to escape.

After Raccoon
After the Raccoon City Incident, Kevin was seen talking to Jim Chapman on a payphone at a Highway Gas Station. He says he has a fresh start with a new job in Miami and compliments the weather, saying it should be fun. He then jumps on his Motorbike and rides into the Horizon.

Inventory
.45 Auto: Kevin's favorite handgun. Ammo is scarce, so it's advised to conserve it. Pot shooting with this weapon is deadly.

.45 Auto Magazine (File #2 only): In File #2, Kevin carries an additional .45 magazine with him.

Trivia

 * Like Jim Chapman and Mark Wilkins, Kevin is one of the few characters that is not scripted to die during any of the scenarios in either game if he is not picked as a character or ally.


 * In the Desperate Times scenario, Kevin can open his own locker and desk in the Raccoon City Police Department. None of the other characters, including Alyssa Ashcroft, can access Kevin's desk drawer or personal locker. Kevin can also find Leon S. Kennedy's resume in the R.P.D.'s east office.


 * After Rita leaves the station in the "Desperate Times" scenario, Tony, the K-9 handler, can be found dying in the station's kennel. He will only speak with Kevin, as he will already be dead if approached by another character.
