"

What are you doing? Get the hell out there and find them! How long do you plan to just sit here and do nothing. Can you get it through your thick skull? If the package gets out it'll be your neck on the line. Not mine!

What! Did you forget I'm the one that gives the orders here?"

Wait! Think of the position I'm in..."
— Tommy to Arnold

Tommy Nielsen (トミー・ニールセン tomī nīrusen?) worked as General Administration Manager[1][note 1] for Umbrella Pharmaceuticals, he was in charge of transporting Bio-Organic Weapons via a cargo dock along Raccoon City's rivers.

Biography[]

September 23 - When the t-Virus epidemic in Raccoon City reached a breaking-point and became a full-scale outbreak, predicting the city's destruction Umbrella ordered the transportation of personal and resources out of the city's territory[2]

On September 26, The U.B.C.S. was deployed into the hellish Raccoon City, there were 4 platoons one of them, Charlie Platoon, appears to have been tasked with recovering Umbrella assets, such as: Thanatos and NYX.[3][note 2][4][5]

Late in the outbreak, Captain Rodriguez (2nd U.S.S. Squad) united with Dr. Linda Baldwin (Umbrella Corp. Development. Center), decided to steal an Umbrella BOW: NYX and use it as evidence to expose Umbrella for their crimes, not satisfied Linda decided to steal a prototype vaccine for the t-Virus developed by Umbrella itself to prevent further outbreaks.

Aware of the betrayal, Umbrella decide to send a U.B.C.S. Charlie Platoon unit after them, likely commanded by Arnold but under Nielsen's supervision, they received strict orders to terminate Rodriguez and any civilian men, women and even children.[6]

Only hours before the missile strike on Raccoon City, Nielsen and his unit arrived at Rodriguez's hideout, Arnold without notifying Nielsen ordered his man to plant mines in nearby areas to prevent a ground exit. Nielsen became furious by Arnold not following the chain of command, He was then saved from a zombie by Arnold, who at the same time threatened him with a Sniper on his face.[7]

After learning about CODE XX, Arnold attacked Nielsen for not telling him about it, almost choking him to death. Arnold then decides to leave Raccoon City with his man, Nielsen then begs for him to wait and recover NYX, he is ignored. Rodriguez who also heard the transmission, decides to leave Raccoon with the capsule.[8]

Now on his own, Nielsen tries to shot Rodriguez's Chinook with a Rocket Launcher, he succeeds on bringing the capsule down, his U.B.C.S. soldiers started forming a perimeter around it, but likely to the impact NYX was now awaken, the creature then escaped containment and absorbed all of Nielsen's man,[9] if either him or Arnold actually survived the attack is unknown.

Further notes[]

  • If the player fails to escape by helicopter, Tommy will attempt to shoot it down, inadvertently releasing Nyx. In that scenario, his entire U.B.C.S. unit is killed by the B.O.W. He was never to be seen again.
  • As evident from an Umbrella pin on his suit, It's implied that Tommy has a certain level of importance within the company.
