Chase was a member of Claire Redfield's convoy.

He is portrayed by Linden Ashby, who is best known for his role as Johnny Cage in Mortal Kombat.

Background

The following section contains information that appears in the Resident Evil novelizations, which are outside of the Anderson continuity.

---

Chase was a sheriff in Texas during a short time. His "reign" ended fast when he placed a football player under arrest for the rape and murder of cheerleaders. The population decided to discharge him of his role, so he took his truck, passed the Oklahoma border and went away from Texas.

Extinction

During the events of the movie, Chase appears to be the member of the convoy responsible for maintaining the gas tanks and keeping watch. When searching for gasoline in the ruins of Las Vegas, he acts as a sniper, climbing the Paris Las Vegas Hotel replica of the Eiffel Tower and shooting down the Enhanced Zombies when they suddenly emerge.

At first, Chase goes unnoticed by the zombies. But when another member of the convoy begins to seek refuge on the tower, the enhanced zombies climb and follow. Chase switches his rifle for a magnum and helps the member of the convoy, managing to kill a few of the zombies climbing the tower. Unfortunately, he is eventually overwhelmed by the zombies. As he runs out of ammunition, unable to defend himself, and bitten several times, he decides to jump off from the tower. As a result, he takes the zombies down with him, but lands on a metal girder below himself; Chase is killed on impact.

Further notes

• According to the commentary of Extinction, Paul W.S. Anderson chose Linden Ashby to play Chase because he is similar to his character in reality.
