He's coming for us, we're both gonna' die!

Brad Vickers was in charge of rear security, along with Jill Valentine, and served as Alpha team's helicopter pilot. He was a computer expert and excelled in information gathering. Brad wasn't much of a fighter; he was known to get nervous and run away at the first sign of danger. His Locker at the R.P.D. was full of self help books. His home town was Delucia.

On July 24th 1998, he abandoned his team-mates in the middle of the Raccoon Forest once he witnessed the death of Joseph Frost. Afterwards he attempted to re-establish contact with his S.T.A.R.S. team-mates while flying around the Arklay Mountains. He helped them to destroy the Tyrant T-002 and then rescued Chris, Jill, Rebecca and Barry.

When he found Jill on September 28th, during the Raccoon City outbreak, he warned her of the Nemesis' presence in the city and his hunt of S.T.A.R.S. members. Later, he joined Jill at the front gates of the police precinct, but was infected with the NE-T virus and killed there by the Nemesis.

By September 29th, he awakened and had been fully reanimated as a Zombie. He stayed under the R.P.D., where Leon/Claire stumbles upon him in Resident Evil 2.

Trivia

Nemesis Brad

Nemesis killing Brad

  • Brad's transformation into a zombie is questionable. As Nemesis' tentacle is shown to have completely pass through his mouth, Brad's brain would have been damaged or his spinal cord severed or destroyed. This would then negate his transformation as a zombie requires a working brain, with that brain destroyed or unreachable (via spinal cord) it would have been impossible for a transformation to take place. If the tentacle passed through his mouth and out his neck, his cord would have been damaged but his brain would be intact, allowing for infection but reduced or little mobility due to no spinal connection. He was bitten earlier by a zombie, thus becoming infected with the tyrant virus. After being "killed" by the Nemesis, he is also infected with the NE-T virus. It is unknown what happens if the two viruses combine, as is the case with Brad's infection, but he is shown a lot more powerful than most or any zombie on the 29th
  • To get Brad to appear in RE2, Leon or Claire must not have picked up any items until reaching the tunnel below the R.P.D. at the beginning of the game. When the zombie Brad is killed and examined, he leaves the Special Key, which opens the locker of the alternative costumes in the Dark Room.
  • His cowardly nature earned him the nickname "Chickenheart".
  • Brad is seen again in Operation: Mad Jackal as a rescuable survivor in the restaurant's basement
