[edit] Background

Originally from a South American anti-government guerrilla group, his exact nationality is unknown, though he does have Native American ancestry. After government forces wiped out his former organization, Carlos was scouted out by the Umbrella Corporation to join the U.B.C.S. He joined up, and was assigned to Delta Platoon, Company A along with Nicholai Ginovaef and Mikhail Victor.

Carlos was put in charge of handling heavy weapons, along with other duties such as local procurement, rear security and arms maintenance. His expertise in weaponry and vehicle operation made him a valuable asset. Despite his violent background, he is warm-hearted and is known for joking around. Perhaps as a result of being raised amidst violence, he is brave and always willing to throw himself in the middle of danger.^[3]

In Resident Evil 3, Carlos meets and assists Jill Valentine throughout the game as the two of them attempt to escape Raccoon City. At one point Jill becomes infected by the T-Virus after a battle with the Nemesis. At this point Carlos becomes playable so that the player can prepare a vaccine for Jill. Ultimately he is successful in escaping the city alive along with Jill.

The events of Resident Evil 3 are revisited in The Umbrella Chronicles scenario "Raccoon's Destruction", in which Carlos is a playable character alongside Jill Valentine.

[edit] Film

Carlos' character was adapted for the films Resident Evil: Apocalypse and Resident Evil: Extinction (with the name Carlos Olivera) , which are loosely based on the games' plot. This version of the character was played by Oded Fehr. In the films his surname is spelled as 'Olivera', as opposed to Oliveira from Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. He reclaims his role as a mercenary for the Umbrella Corporation, who is sent to sent to Raccoon City amidst a viral-outbreak. Olivera is abandoned by the Umbrella Corporation, and later works with other survivors to escape the city. In Resident Evil: Extinction, he joins a group of nomadic human survivors, who roam the now desolate United States. Olivera is ultimately infected with the T-virus, and sacrifices himself to aid the survival-efforts of other survivors.
