"The city is completely cut off. Isolated. We need help. My men cannot do this alone." — Mikhail explains the situation of Raccoon City to Jill and asks her to help. |
Captain Mikhail Viktor (ミハイル・ヴィクトール Mihairu Vikutōru, Russian: Михаил Виктор) was mercenary contracted by the Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service (U.B.C.S.), where he served as leader of the Delta Platoon. He was warm hearted, recognized for his impressive leadership abilities and skilled in the planning and execution of operations.[1][3][4]
Biography
Early life and Umbrella's recruitment
Originally from Leningrad, in the Russian SFSR, Viktor served his compulsory national service in the Soviet Army. He continued after the mandatory two years was up. While it is possible he attained the rank of Kapitán, this is uncertain. Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Army was largely demobilised, and Viktor and many others were rendered unemployed in a country reeling from economic ruin. Soon the new Russian Federation experienced tense conflict as ethnic minorities fought for their independence. Viktor became involved due to his wife, who was from one such ethnic group, and offered his support and experience to the rebel cause. During the conflict Viktor was directly responsible for a number of attacks, which included massacres of civilians.[5][excerpt 1] In the mid-1990s, Viktor was headhunted by the Umbrella Corporation, who sought his participation in the Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service.[1][5][6][excerpt 2]

Implementation
U.B.C.S.' squad arrives in Raccoon City.
In 1998, Viktor was serving the U.B.C.S. with the rank of Captain, and was in command of Delta Platoon.[6] On 15 September, the platoon was given new orders to enter Raccoon City, and had over a week to prepare.[7] Delta Platoon arrived in the city center on the night of Saturday 26 September, by which point the t-Virus outbreak had escalated out of control. The orders given by Col. Sergei Vladimir called for the U.B.C.S. to evacuate uninfected civilians, which Viktor intended to fulfil.[8]Despite his rank, he was left unaware Vladimir's secret police, the Monitors, had additional orders to record their combat with the mutants.[9]
Soon after landing, it became clear that the four platoons were not enough to handle the city's mutant population, which had vastly superior numbers. Because this, the overwhelming majority of squads were practically wiped out or were mutated in less than two days.
Evacuation Plan
Viktor injured during the course of the U.B.C.S.' Evacuation plan.
By Monday 28 September, the force was disorganised, with Bravo and Echo Squads cut off from the rest of the platoon.[citation needed] Viktor himself was seriously wounded in the fight with the Zombies after he and a number of other soldiers were trapped by Sgt. Nikolai Zinoviev,[citation needed] and the remnants set up their base in either a tram or subway car depending on sources.[citation needed] By nightfall, the group was down to Viktor, Zinoviev and Cpl. Carlos Oliveira, with other sources including Alpha Platoon's Murphy Seeker and Bravo Platoon's Tyrell Patrick.[citation needed]
The same night the platoon joined forces with S.T.A.R.S. officer Jill Valentine, who offered help for their mutual escape. While Viktor could not directly take part in the plan to get the car operational, he was able to defend himself. In one account he shot down off a group of Zombies that had found their hiding place. After Valentine and Oliveira eventually recovered the right components necessary to get the trolley car moving again, the three of them (alongside Nikolai if he's in the cable car) rode to the St. Michael Clock Tower.
Death
Viktor sacrifices himself to stop Nemesis.
Accounts differ as to how Viktor died. In one telling, before the tram can reach its destination the group are attacked by Nemesis. Viktor, seriously wounded demands that Jill leave the cable car as he attempts to fend off the Tyrant. Viktor makes a brief last stand using the last of the ammunition in his assault rifle. Viktor, after running out of ammo is brutally beaten by Nemesis and thrown to the other side of the cable car, as the Tyrant approaches Viktor to finish him off he pulls out a grenade and pulls the pin as he mutters "You lose." to the creature in a sacrificial attempt to kill it. In another telling, Nemesis attacks the train car, having already killed the survivors on board barring Viktor, Nikolai and Jill. Nikolai makes his way to another cart of the train and locks the two outside, with the Russian explaining "It's not after me." to Jill. Jill turned around to see Viktor desperately attacking the Tyrant with a pistol with it impaling him with one of its tentacles and pulling him towards it. Viktor then detonates a C4 charge, derailing the train but temporarily incapacitating Nemesis.
Whatever the account, Nemesis-T survived the explosion and continued hunting Jill. However, his sacrifice was not entirely in vain, as the explosion jettisoned Nemesis from the car, leaving Jill safe for the moment.
