"No one can oppose me now...!"
— Goldman, after releasing the Tyrant virus on the citizens of Sheena Island.[1]

Vincent Goldman was the commander of the Umbrella facilities on Sheena Island (which is located somewhere in Europe). He was a young, coldhearted elite of the Umbrella Corporation, who would do anything to extend his authority.

Biography[]

Working with Umbrella, Goldman had his colleagues murdered to aid his own promotion through management.[2] His mother was aware of his dark deeds and pleaded with him to leave Umbrella and come home.[3]

Sheena Island[]

Goldman was assigned as commander of Sheena Island sometime before August 1998,[4] in response to the sudden and unexpected death of his predecessor.[5][excerpt 1] His most important responsibility was the management of a secret "Tyrant Plant" on the island, where various kidnapped adolescents were taken to and killed in order to extract "β Hetero Nonserotonin" hormones needed for the Hypnos-T Type development.[4][6]

After his handling of an attempted prison breakout by the surviving teenagers by personally executing each failed escapee in cold blood, the local population began to turn on him. At one point wire-tapping was used to find incriminating evidence necessary to have Umbrella remove him. His brutal operations would reach critical levels in late November, when a boy called Lott Klein informed him of a spy impersonating him. To rid the island of his problems, he intentionally released the t-Virus into the populace, along with a number of T-103s. His plan was to escape when Under Taker units arrived to destroy evidence of the outbreak, including murdering survivors. Once he had escaped, he would reap the profit by claiming it was an accident.[1]

During the outbreak, he somewhat tracked down Ark Thompson inside the Umbrella's main office on the island and asked him if he was the spy that Lott talked about early. Ark pushed him and managed to escape to a helicopter on the building terrace.[7] Vincent recklessly grabbed on the helicopter and shot it, making it explode in mid-air.[8]

Both Vincent and Ark survived, but Vincent fell unconscious for several minutes. When Ark saw the fallen Vincent,[9] he left him behind, thinking he was dead.

If Ark passes by the hospital, it is shown that Vincent successfully managed to return to the main office after the helicopter crash, and he will see by the camera feed that Ark is still alive. To get rid of the spy, he will then release the island creatures after him.[10] It is not shown what exactly Vincent released after Ark, but probably are the Tyrants and/or Hunters. Later, if the player chooses this way, Vincent will follow Ark to the Tyrant Plant preparing to kill him for ruining his plans and eventually die by the claws of a newly released, experimental Tyrant designated "Hypnos-T Type."[11]

If the player doesn't go by the hospital, Vincent is never shown again after the helicopter crash and his fate is not revealed.

Further notes[]

Depending on which way the player will choose to go during the game, Vincent may confront Ark towards the end of the game and be killed by the newly-awoken Hypnos-T Type. Other possible confrontations are the UT Commander and Andy Holland.

Vincent most likely wields a "Pre-B" CZ 75, known in-game as the Handgun B. Vincent's extra scene/death only appears when going through the hospital where the player can pick up this gun, likewise the same with Andy, the Library and the Handgun D, and the UT Commander, the Arcade and the Handgun C.
