Transcript[]

Listed within this file is a general background information overview of BSAA agent - Chris Redfield - as pieced together from various sources. The information listed here is neither compete nor should it be used as a psychological analysis of the subject.

Chris Redfield began his military career in the United States Air Force.

Possessing a service record replete with both commendations and disciplinary actions, commanding officers have described Chris as: "uncompromising," "possessing unwavering dedication." and having a "high level of adaptability."

It was these traits that saw Chris earn his wings, but also these same traits that brought him into direct conflict with superiors.

Unable to settle those differences, Chris retired from the United States Air Force.

After retirement, Chris was scouted by Raccoon City's special forces (S.T.A.R.S.) because of his superior firearm and hand-to-hand combat skills, along with his qualifications as both fixed-wing aircraft and helicopter pilot.

Joining the S.T.A.R.S. team, Chris was designed as point man (PM) for Alpha Team. As PM, it was his duty to scout and secure positions ahead of the team. His duties required him not only to be a good shooter and fighter, but also be able to use a wide array of weaponry.

It was in this area where he excelled showing the ability to handle anything from small arms to large weapons and the flexibility to use them as the situations dictated.

Chris's performance with S.T.A.R.S. was exemplary. It appeared that he had finally found his niche. But fate had other plans in mind for Chris. Unbeknown to him, the next chapter in his story was about to unfold on that fateful night in July 1998.

The S.T.A.R.S. Bravo Team responding to reports of disappearances in the surrounding areas of Raccoon City, abruptly went radio silent. Alpha Team was sent in to investigate. Shortly after their helicopter touched down, they were attacked by wild ravenous canines (known as the B.O.W. Cerberus), and were forced to take refuge in a nearby mansion.

The mansion was in reality the Arklay Research Facility for the pharmaceutical giant Umbrella. It was at this facility that they developed bioweapons and conducted uncounted illegal experiments. Here Chris and his partner, Jill Valentine, were forced to combat numerous B.O.W.s as part of an active tactical research plan devised by Albert Wesker.

Wesker was the commanding officer of S.T.A.R.S., and therefore Chris and Jill's superior. Though all his actions were done at the behest of the Umbrella Corporation, Wesker used his rank in S.T.A.R.S. to manipulate Chris and Jill. Wesker unleashed several B.O.W.s into the mansion in order to gather data for his own ends.

This tragedy in the Arklay Mountains became known as the Mansion Incident, and ended with Chris and Jill destroying the creature known as Tyrant, the death of Wesker and the destruction of the laboratory.

Having survived the incident at the mansion, Chris attempted to notify the authorities regarding Umbrella's activities, but all his warnings were ignored due to Umbrella's powerful sway. Having exhausted this option, he attempted to notify the U.S. government of the situation. This too however, proved fruitless. He know that taking on such a large corporate entity alone would not be easy, and might in fact prove fatal, but in the end he was left with no other choice.

Thus Chris continued his investigation on his own. Without informing his family of his intentions, he soon departed for Europe.

Chris wanted to shield his family from any ill effects his investigation might incur, but ironically it brought one of his family members into the fray.

When Claire Redfield was unable to get in contact with her brother, she journeyed to Raccoon City to find him. Upon arrival in the city, she found the area awash in the terror brought on by the spread of the T-Virus.

In that and of death and confusion, Claire met Leon S. Kennedy, and together they were able to fight their way out of the city. After the Raccoon City ordeal, Claire flew to Paris to investigate Umbrella's activities in Europe, but she was captured and send to Rockfort Island.

When Chris learned from Leon what had happened to Claire, he made his way to Rockfort Island to free her.

It was there that Chris was confronted with many harsh facts.

Umbrella had a research facility in Antarctica.

Alexia Ashford was still alive.

There was a new virus called T-Veronica.

And most surprisingly of all, Albert Wesker was still alive.

The man behind the horror of the Mansion Incident, Chris's former commanding officer, somehow survived the destruction of the Mansion.

Once again Chris was unwittingly thrust into one of Wesker's schemes, and he was forced to face the man whose destiny appeared to be intertwined with his own. Chris was easily overpowered by Wesker's inhuman strength, but luck was on Chris's side that day.

In the ensuring conflagration that consumed the island Chris and Wesker's conflict was put on hold for the time being.

With his resolve strengthened Chris determined that no matter at what personal cost to himself, Umbrella would fall.

Fast forward to 2003, Chris is in the skies over Russian; his partner, Jill Valentine, by his side.

At this point, Umbrella was in dire straits. In the wake of the destruction of Raccoon City, the company became embattled in litigation, and their stock price plummeted. It was only a matter of time before Umbrella collapsed.

It was during this time that Chris learned of Umbrella's plans to develop a new type of B.O.W.

Chris and Jill had obtained information and were headed to the Caucasus Laboratory where the T-A.L.O.S Plan was being conducted in secret. They were to rendezvous with an anti-bioterrorism unit and attack the location.

Not long after this incident, the once seemingly untouchable Umbrella was officially no more.

The seed that Umbrella sowed, however; would continued to reap tragedy for the world. B.O.W.s were no longer restricted to areas of conflict, but were now being used in terrorist attacks against innocent civilians. It was at this time that Chris and Jill joined the BSAA, a group dedicated to eliminating those bioweapons.

The two of them traversed the world together, partners in the fight to bring bio-terrorists to justice. The shadow of Umbrella still loomed large though, as they would soon discover.

When Chris and Jill went to question Umbrella's founder, Ozwell E. Spencer, about Wesker's whereabouts, they were greeted by the sight of Umbrella's founder lying crumpled on the floor, and the bloodstained figure of Wesker standing over him.

This would be the third confrontation between Chris and Wesker.

This time the confrontation ended in tragedy as Jill, seeing no other option, made the ultimate sacrifice to stop Wesker. With one last effort she charged Wesker and threw both herself and him over the side of a cliff. The BSAA searched for Jill's body for three months, but no trace of her was ever found.

After three months of searching with no success, Jill Valentine was officially declared dead by the BSAA.

No one knows what promises Chris made in front of Jill's empty grave, but following her loss, he redoubled his efforts to eradicate all bio-organic weapons whereabouts they may be. Initially stationed at BSAA's North American Branch, his investigations soon took him around the world. He became involved in so many operations that he soon had more missions to his name than any other BSAA member.

During one of his investigations, Chris learned of an upcoming bioweapons deal in Africa in connection with a man named Ricardo Irving. Irving's name has come up quite often of late in association with bioweapons smuggling.

After informing the BSAA African Branch about Irving, Chris urgently requested permission to participate in the operation to arrest Irving.

As for the reasons he wished to participate in this mission, Chris would not comment. Whether he is withholding information or not is unclear.

As one of the most respected BSAA agents, his presence in this operation greatly increases the chances of success, thus his request has been granted.

彼のキャリアは、アメリカ空軍で幕を開ける。
いかなる状況でも信念を曲げない強い意志、たゆまない努力、そしてほんの少しの運を味方にしたクリスは、戦闘機のパイロットとして任に就く。

まっすぐな性格はパイロット向きで、将来も嘱望されたが、その性格ゆえに当時の上官と意見が対立することも多かった。
その対立関係は解消されることなく、ほどなくクリスは退役の道を選ぶ。

退役後、その卓越した射撃能力と近接戦闘技術、そして固定翼機だけではなくヘリコプターの操縦資格も持つ多才さを買われ、ラクーン市警察所属の特殊部隊「S.T.A.R.S.」にスカウトされる。S.T.A.R.S.ではアルファチームのポイントマン(PM)を任されることとなった。
PMとは、チームから先行して偵察、陣地確保を行う斥候である。その任務の性格上、単なる射撃能力、戦闘技術の高さだけではなく、幅広い銃器を扱える応用力の高さも必要とされる。

彼はその点も非常に優秀で、小銃から重火器まで必要に応じて柔軟かつ的確に扱う才能を持ち合わせていた。

S.T.A.R.S.での任務を順調にこなしていたクリスであったが. 1998年7月、状況は一変する。
ラクーンシティ近隣の山中でS.T.A.R.S.ブラヴォーチームが消息を絶った。
捜索に向かったクリスたちアルファチームは、凶暴化した野犬(後に「ケルベロス」と呼ばれる有機生命体兵器(B.O.W.)と判明)の襲撃を受け、追い込まれるように洋館へと逃げこんだ。

その洋館こそ、世界的規模の製薬企業「アンブレラ」が運営していたアークレイ研究所と呼ばれる生物兵器の開発、実験施設であった。
ここで彼と、そのパートナー、ジル·バレンタインは、アルバート·ウェスカーの企みにより、数々のB.O.W.との戦闘を強いられる。

ウェスカーは、S.T.A.R.S.の隊長、つまりクリスとジルの上司であったが、同時にアンブレラの情報部員であった。
彼は、洋館へ幾多のB.O.W.を投入することにより、様々な状況での戦闘データを収集しようとしていたのだ。

この通称「洋館事件」と呼ばれるアークレイ研究所での惨事は、ウェスカーの死亡とクリスとジルによるタイラントの破壊、そして研究所の自爆により幕を閉じた。

帰還後、クリスは洋館での凄惨な事件とアンブレラの危険性を各所に訴えるが、アンブレラの息がかかったラクーンシティ上層部は言うに及ばず、政府さえもその言葉に耳を貸そうとはしなかった。
立ち向かおうとする組織は巨大かつ、強力な影響力を有していたが、逆にそれがクリスの闘志に火をつける。
クリスは独自の調査を進めるため、家族にもその行き先を告げずにヨーロッパへ旅立っていった。

家族に危険が及ばないようにするための彼なりの配慮であったが、それが裏目に出た。兄と連絡が取れないことを心配した妹のクレア·レッドフィールドが、ラクーンシティへやってきたのだ。
クレアはt-ウィルスがもたらしたラクーンシティの大混乱に卷き込まれるが、そこで出会ったレオン·S·ケネディと共に闘い、窮地を脱する。この事件中につかんだ事実を基に、クレアはクリスを追ってヨーロッパへと向かうが、そこでアンブレラの手に落ちてしまう。

その事実をレオンから伝え聞いたクリスは、妹を救出するため、クレアが捕らえられているロックフォート島へと向かった。
そこでクリスは、様々な事実と直面することとなる。

アンブレラ南極研究所。

アレクシア·アシュフォード。

t-Veronicaウィルス。

......そして、アルバート·ウェスカー。

洋館事件の首謀者。死んだと思っていたかつての上司。彼は、陰謀の影を再びこの事件に落としていた。
そしてクリスは、この因縁浅からぬ男と対決することとなる。
人であることを捨てたウェスカーの戦闘能力はクリスを圧倒していた。
だが、辛くも勝利を収めることができた。
炎の中に消えるウェスカーを見て、クリスは諸悪の根源であるアンブレラ壊滅の決意を新たにする。

そして時は流れ2003年。
クリスはロシアの空にいた。
隣には、かつてのパートナー、ジル·バレンタイン。この時、アンブレラは窮地に立たされていた。
ラクーンシティ崩壊の責任を問われ、際限なく吹き荒れる訴訟の嵐、株価の暴落。
アンブレラの崩壊は、時間の問題と思われた。

その最中、クリスはアンブレラが新たなB.O.W.開発計画を進めつつあるという情報を入手した。
それがこの地、ロシアのコーカサス研究所で秘密裏に行われていた「T-A.L.O.S.」計画である。
情報を掴んだ2人は、現地の対バイオハザード部隊と共に研究所を強襲。その災厄の芽を摘み取ったのだった。

それからほどなくして、アンブレラは崩壊した。

しかし、アンブレラが蒔いた災厄の種は、世界中で闇色の花を咲かせていた。
紛争地域だけではなく、一般市民を巻き込むテロでも使用されるB.O.W.。
その壊滅を目的に結成された「BSAA」に参加するのは、クリスとしては当然の成り行きだった。
それは、ジルもまた同じであった。
クリスとジルは、背中を預けられるパートナー同士として、世界中の生物兵器犯罪に立ち向かっていったが、ここでもアンブレラの影が彼らの運命に大きな影を落とす。

アンブレラの創始者オズウェル·E·スペンサーの逮捕に向かった二人が見たものは、死体となり横たわるスペンサーと、その手を血に染めてたたずむ仇敵ウェスカーであった。
クリスは、三度ウェスカーと対決することとなった。
だが、この顛末は、ジルがウェスカーと共に底知れぬ崖下へ消えるという悲劇で幕を閉じた。BSAAによる3ヶ月にも及ぶ捜索をもってしてもジルの死体は発見されなかった。

結果、ジルはBSAAより公式に死亡と認定されるに至った。
死体のない墓地の前で、クリスがなにを誓ったのかは定かではない。
ただ確かなのは、彼がかつて以上に生物兵器犯罪の捜査、撲滅に情熱を燃やすようになったことだった。
BSAA北米支部に所属しながらもその捜査の範囲は世界中に及び、作戦行動への参加数はBSAAの全隊員の中でトップを記録した。

その渦中で、クリスはリカルド·アーヴィングがアフリカで大規模なB.O.W.の取引を行うという情報を入手する。
アーヴィングとは、最近裏の世界でよく名前を耳にする生物兵器の密売人である。
クリスは情報をアフリカ支部に通報後、アーヴィング逮捕作戦に志願をする。

そこにはクリスの隠された思いがあった。
情報の裏に見え隠れする、かつてのパートナーの名。

生きているかもしれない......

だが、クリスはそれを誰にも漏らすことなく、わずかな希望と決意を胸に人類発祥の大地へと降り立った。
そして彼は、この地で再びバイオハザードに立ち向かうこととなったのだ。
