"NO!!! I'm not going anywhere! I'd rather starve to death in here than be eaten by one of those undead monsters!!! NOW LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!" — Dario Rosso to Jill Valentine |
Dario Rosso (ダリオ・ロッソ Dario Rosso ) was a salesman who was with his family in Raccoon City during the outbreak that condemned her to destruction.
Biography[]
Background[]
Almost nothing is known about Dario other than that he wanted to be a novelist, but due to his mother's influence, he resigned from his dream and became a salesman instead.[1] He and his family were apparently not local residents of Raccoon City, as Dario was registered at the Apple Inn, suggesting he was in town on business.[3]
Raccoon City Incident and Death[]
"But this looks like the end for the great Dario Rosso, novelist extraordinaire. Cut down before his prime..." — Excerpt from Dario's memo about his failure to make his dream come true before his death |
On September 24th, when the town was consumed by an epidemic that turned most of the population into zombies, Dario and his family were forced to fend for themselves, attempting to escape the encroaching infected hordes through the ruined streets of Raccoon City without protection or chance of aid.
Some time during the collapse of the city between September 26 and 28,[4][5] Dario's mother, wife, and daughter were killed in the chaos.[1] Being the lone survivor of his family, when Dario finally reached the safety of the warehouse, he was already a completely broken and scared man.[1][5]
"What!? What do you think you're talking about? I just lost my daughter out there! How dare you tell me to go back outside!" |
While inside the container, Dario wrote a memo where he expressed his despair, believing that he would end up dying like his family and regretted that he failed to follow his passions in life and become an author.[1]
At some point after Jill left the warehouse and reached the Raccoon Police Station, Dario did eventually leave the safety of the shipping container, but, as Jill had alerted, the warehouse was not a secure location; and zombies managed to invade the building's interior and kill him. Jill would later discover Rosso's body if she made the decision to return to the warehouse.[7]
"Yeah, right! You just want to steal my safehouse! Get your own, missy!" |
