==Biography== |
==Biography== |
||
| + | Raval was born and raised on Rockfort Island, which had been planted by Spanish colonists for generations. The island was for some time under the ownership of the Ashford family, a British aristocratic house, with each successor to the Earldom becoming its new governor. In the 1990s, [[Alfred Ashford, 7th Earl Ashford]], had the settlement torn down and forced much of the population off the island to make way for a boot camp for [[Umbrella Security Service]] recruits as well as a concentration camp for enemies of the company. Raval himself joined the Umbrella Security Service, and was assigned to the Paris Laboratory as 3rd Squad's leader. |
||
| − | ===Early life=== |
||
| − | Rodrigo was born a native of a small village in [[Rockfort Island]], with relatives (possibly parents) named [[Robert Raval|Robert]] and [[Maria Raval|Maria]]. This lasted until the Umbrella Corporation purchased the island and destroyed the village, forcing all the villagers, including Rodrigo, off the island. With nowhere else to go, and no other choice, Rodrigo accepted security work with the very company that destroyed his home. |
||
| + | In December 1998, the Paris Laboratory was infiltrated by Claire Redfield, leading to a shoot-out in in the facility culminating in a UH-6 helicopter firing through the windows. Raval succeeded personally in capturing Redfield, and traveled with her back to Rockfort Island as a concentration camp inmate. Soon after Raval's arrival, H.C.F. attacked the island, bombing the ground and releasing the t-Virus. Raval himself received a torso wound, possibly from being shot. Having a change of heart, he released Redfield from her holding cell to give her a chance to fight and escape rather than die in her cell. Redfield later returned his kindness by providing him with hemostatic medicine and her brother's lighter. |
||
| − | ===Attack on the European Umbrella Facility=== |
||
| − | In an ironic twist, Rodrigo joined Umbrella's [[Umbrella Security forces|private security force]], and soon rose to command his own elite commando unit. |
||
| + | As the last survivors fled the island on transport planes, Raval, in an improved condition thanks to the medicine, made his way to the remains of a crypt where the settlers buried their dead, finding comfort with the prospect of dying with his family. The following day, Raval was met by Chris Redfield, Claire's brother. Raval explained to him she was likely no longer on the island, but was then swallowed by Gulp Worm, a rogue B.O.W. created for U.S.S. training. Though the creature spat him out, he received acid burns throughout his body he could not survive. In his final actions, he returned the lighter he was given. |
||
| − | While stationed in Paris, France, to protect [[Umbrella Europe]]'s Paris Lab, Rodrigo and the rest of the guards were involved in the ambush of the Umbrella-wanted fugitive Claire Redfield, who had come seeking her brother and fellow fugitive [[Chris Redfield]]. Claire brought destruction on the base, and was able to kill or injure many of her pursuers. But it was Rodrigo who personally captured Claire, with Rodrigo sneaking up on her and the two of them holding weapons at each other's heads. |
||
| − | |||
| − | For capturing such a wanted fugitive alive, Rodrigo gained many rewards and significant prestige. Rodrigo and his unit were tasked to transfer Claire to a prison on Rockfort Island, which was now a military training base. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===Change of Heart=== |
||
| − | Initially, Rodrigo felt nothing for his actions, only caring about his career and his men, relishing in the opportunity to take on the prestigious assignment of taking his commando team to Rockfort. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Things changed when Albert Wesker and his Special Forces team attacked Rockfort. Their air strikes impacting on the island's laboratory and unleashing the [[t-Virus]], Umbrella's most deadly bio-weapon, upon the island. The outbreak turned many of the survivors into [[Zombies]], and many [[B.O.W]]'s were freed. |
||
| − | |||
| − | With Base Commander [[Alfred Ashford, 7th Earl Ashford|Alfred Ashford]] not doing anything to stop it, Rodrigo and the other ranking soldiers took charge, and lead a defense against the zombies. Soon however, all the soldiers, including Rodrigo's unit, were wiped out, and the island overrun. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Rodrigo remained in his office, hiding. Having lost his weapon some time before, and taking serious internal injuries along the way, he quickly realized he wouldn't last outside. Rodrigo began regretting all of what he had done in recent days. Seeing that Claire was much younger, he released her, and told her to flee the island. Despite his weakened state, Rodrigo remained alive. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Claire returned some time later, providing Hemostatic medicine to alleviate the bleeding. Claire also left her lighter with Rodrigo for luck. In return, Rodrigo gives Claire a lockpick. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Rodrigo survived the explosion that Alfred had set up, as it was small yield, leaving most of the facilities on the island intact. On his way, he spotted Claire and [[Steve Burnside]] escaping in a large cargo airplane. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===Death=== |
||
| − | Rodrigo found his way down to the underground cavern, resting upon the graves of his family, until Chris Redfield came in search of his sister. Upon telling him of what became of her, the two men were attacked by a [[Gulp Worm]], a giant infected worm, who promptly swallowed Rodrigo whole. Chris managed to kill the worm, who spat Rodrigo out as it died. Chris told Rodrigo to hold on, but the acid burns inflicted by exposure to the chemicals in the creature's stomach proved fatal. In his final moments, Rodrigo took comfort in the notion that he would soon see his family again. He returned Claire's lighter back to Chris and then slumped to the ground. |

| − | ==Personality== |
||
| − | Rodrigo was a good person at heart, and a man of conscience. When Rockfort experienced a t-Virus outbreak, Rodrigo was greatly shocked at the appearance of monsters, especially when they slaughtered his squad. In hiding, Rodrigo believed all that had befallen him and Umbrella is how it should be and was what they deserved. He released Claire, because if she died on Rockfort it would be his fault due to him being responsible for her capture. He began believing in Claire's cause to bring Umbrella to justice. Rodrigo also regretted turning a blind eye and ignoring his conscience while in service to Umbrella, all for his own greed and not caring how it affected himself. Faced with this, Rodrigo did not shift blame on anyone else except himself. Although, he graciously accepts the hemostatic Claire gives him, and in return gives her the lockpick. |

Rodrigo Juan Raval (ロドリゴ・ファン・ラバル Rodorigo Fan Rabaru) (c.1966-1998) was an Umbrella Security Service employee. Though assigned to the defense of Umbrella Europe's Paris Laboratory, Raval became caught up in the biohazard on Rockfort Island.
Biography
Raval was born and raised on Rockfort Island, which had been planted by Spanish colonists for generations. The island was for some time under the ownership of the Ashford family, a British aristocratic house, with each successor to the Earldom becoming its new governor. In the 1990s, Alfred Ashford, 7th Earl Ashford, had the settlement torn down and forced much of the population off the island to make way for a boot camp for Umbrella Security Service recruits as well as a concentration camp for enemies of the company. Raval himself joined the Umbrella Security Service, and was assigned to the Paris Laboratory as 3rd Squad's leader.
In December 1998, the Paris Laboratory was infiltrated by Claire Redfield, leading to a shoot-out in in the facility culminating in a UH-6 helicopter firing through the windows. Raval succeeded personally in capturing Redfield, and traveled with her back to Rockfort Island as a concentration camp inmate. Soon after Raval's arrival, H.C.F. attacked the island, bombing the ground and releasing the t-Virus. Raval himself received a torso wound, possibly from being shot. Having a change of heart, he released Redfield from her holding cell to give her a chance to fight and escape rather than die in her cell. Redfield later returned his kindness by providing him with hemostatic medicine and her brother's lighter.
As the last survivors fled the island on transport planes, Raval, in an improved condition thanks to the medicine, made his way to the remains of a crypt where the settlers buried their dead, finding comfort with the prospect of dying with his family. The following day, Raval was met by Chris Redfield, Claire's brother. Raval explained to him she was likely no longer on the island, but was then swallowed by Gulp Worm, a rogue B.O.W. created for U.S.S. training. Though the creature spat him out, he received acid burns throughout his body he could not survive. In his final actions, he returned the lighter he was given.
