Raymond Vester

I can't reach my Partner, Rachael. Damn it...

Raymond Vester was one of the top agents working of the Federal Bioterrorism Commission.

Terragrigia
At the time of the 2004 Terragrigia Panic, Raymond was an inexperienced cadet in the F.B.C. Though he did have previous military experience, he soon found he was far out of his league. Injured by Veltro's Farfarello, he was rescued by the more experienced agents Parker Luciani and Jessica Sherawat. Retreating back to the conference room where F.B.C. head General Morgan Lansdale was residing, Raymond stumbled upon a telephone conversation the General was having with the Veltro leader, Jack Norman. Raymond became increasingly suspicious of his commanding officer, and knew that he was somehow involved with the bio-terrorist attack. However, he was unable to act on these suspicions, as the city was evacuated and destroyed soon after.

Conspiracy
At some point after this attack, Raymond became an informant for B.S.A.A. leader Clive R. O'Brian, operating as his mole within the F.B.C.. O'Brian and Vester worked closely to devise a plan to oust Lansdale as the architect of the Terragrigia attack. The basis of the plan involved engineering the "return" of Veltro. Vester would play the role of Jack Norman, and O'Brian used a mountain airbase and several of his own troops to create the illusion that the terrorist group had resurfaced. In doing so, the two hoped to collect enough evidence to expose Lansdale.

During the Queen Zenobia incident, O'Brian let slip that agents Sherawat and Chris Redfield were captured by Veltro onboard the Zenobia. Presumably intercepting this information via his mole, Morgan Lansdale sent Vester and his partner Rachael to the ship. On paper, this was to assess a possible bioterrorist threat on board, but in reality Lansdale was using the agents to determine if the B.S.A.A. agents supposedly onboard the vessel would pose any threat to him. With this unexpected change in schedule, Vester contacted O'Brian and the two agreed to push forward the schedule of their plan.

After boarding the ship with Rachael, the two split up. Vester adopted his Veltro disguise in the prescence of agents Valentine and Luciani, attempting to guide them through the ship to expose Lansdale's secrets. Vester, without the disguise, encountered Luciani and Valentine on the ship's bridge, making his mysterious presence in the situation known.

Vester and the two agents met again in the ship's hall, where he sent the two to find his missing partner Rachael. When the two returned with the news that Rachael had been killed and infected, Vester was nowhere to be found, presumably collecting evidence elsewhere on the ship. Soon after, Agents Sherawat and Redfield boarded the vessel, and all four agents encountered Raymond, now in Veltro disguise, in the ship's Casino. Just as Raymond was about to reveal Lansdale's secrets to the group, Lansdale's mole, Jessica Sherawat, shot Raymond in the chest, causing him to fall from the balcony.

Though Raymond was wearing a bulletproof vest and was unharmed by Jessica's shot, he faked his death while in her prescence, but managed to whisper critical information about the conspiracy and Jessica's true identity to Agent Luciani. After the two groups of agents split up, Raymond caught up with Luciani on the bridge, where he was holding Jessica at gunpoint as she attempted to activate the self destruct system. Raymond attempted to convince Parker to subdue Jessica, but Parker still did not trust Raymond, and attempted to get Raymond to lower his weapon.

Taking advantage of Luciani's hesitation, Jessica fired, and Parker took the bullet instead of Raymond. Leaving to inform Lansdale of Vester's double agent status, Parker urged Vester to chase her down. Vester failed to catch her, and later encountered a gravely injured Luciani in the bowels of the sinking ship. Finally putting their gruff past behind them, the two helped each other to escape the ship.

Post-Conspiracy
Unknown to Parker, Raymond had actually let Jessica escape. The two were both working as agents for a mysterious third party, quite possibly the same Agency that employed Albert Wesker and Ada Wong. The two met in a cafe in an unnamed European country, where Vester provided Sherawat with a sample of the T-Abyss virus.

Trivia

 * His clothing is almost exactly the same as the unidentified man (Richard) who is killed by two Ooze in the Resident Evil: Revelations Pilot Demo.
 * In the official Rachael Prologue Trailer, Raymond is seen dressed in his Veltro agent outfit injecting several ship crew members with what is presumably the t-Abyss virus. He is also seen talking to the dummy of Chris Redfield at the end as well.
