Peyton Wells

Peyton Wells was a S.T.A.R.S. police officer involved with the 2002 Raccoon City outbreak.

Background
When his close friend and partner Jill Valentine made claims of monsters appearing in the forest, he was one of the only ones to support her theory. During the outbreak in Raccoon City, he and Jill Valentine met up during the infection, and held off the infestation at Raven's Gate Bridge, along with S.T.A.R.S.; RPD and UBCS members. He was bitten by a zombie during these events.

After Umbrella closed off the city, they, along with reporter Terri Morales, hid in a church, where they meet with another survivor named Angus Mackenzie. They are besieged by lickers and zombies until they are saved by Alice. Peyton disliked Alice immediately because she insisted on killing him before he became a zombie. Soon, Dr. Charles Ashford recruited the four of them to save his daughter, Angela Ashford.

Almost immediately afterward however, he is killed by the Nemesis, which devastates Jill. Given that he was bitten by a zombie prior to his death, being fatally gunned down by nemesis speeds his rate of infection and Peyton is eventually reanimated by the T-Virus and attempts to bite Jill and Terri during their attempted escape from the Nemesis in an abandoned car. Jill fends him off and pushes him back long enough to shoot him point blank in the head. His death was instantaneous. Jill drives off with Terry upset that she had to kill her partner.

Trivia
Peyton's fate was similar to that of Brad Vickers' death in Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, as far as being bitten by a zombie thus becoming infected, killed by the Nemesis and was reanimated as a zombie.
