Private Residence

The Rockfort Island Residence is the home of island commander Alfred Ashford and features as a location in Resident Evil: Code Veronica.

The residence is a towering gothic house built on a hill overlooking the Rockfort Palace. The house had fallen into some dissrepair by the time of the Rockfort atack likely due to Alfred's insistance that none save himself and his sister be allowed entrance, and as such many areas such as the entire second floor past the main hall appear to be unnacessable.

The residence itself is accessed from Alfred's office in the palace via a hidden bridge, although an older access point located under the Training Facility is mentioned in files, it had been deliberately blocked up by the time of the outbreak.

Unlike the palace which is decorated in accordance with Alfred's military tastes, his private house has been furnished heavily to appease his Alexia persona, with many dolls and childish toys on display, including one parcularly large example suspended in the main hall. The ground floor dining room appears to have not been used in some time, while the third floor bedrooms of Alfred and Alexia are linked by a hidden door, with both featuring hidden ladders to a fourth floor with a working carosel, which itself hides access to a fifth floor study.

Alfred, suffering from a split personality disorder, frequently adopted Alexia's personality as his own, dressing as her and using her voice in conversation with his Alfred prsona. His crossdressing act was accurate enough to convince Wesker's employers to attack the island in search of Alexia, alhough he later discovers the truth of Alfred's delusion.

The house is unnaccessable following the island's self destruction, and is likely destroyed or heavily damaged with the rest of the island's buildings.

The appearance of the house and it's role as home to a crossdressing killer, is very likely a homage to Alfred Hitchcock's famous movie, Psycho.
