[edit] Background
Redfield debuted in the original Resident Evil as one of two playable protagonists. In the game, he is a member of S.T.A.R.S.' Alpha Team, sent to investigate the disappearance of their compatriots. The squad discovers the remains of Bravo Team's helicopter, but shortly encounter a pack of undead dogs. Redfield, accompanied by Albert Wesker and Jill Valentine,[4] seek refuge in the Spencer Mansion, which is filled with deadly traps and horrific monsters. Redfield's scenario is more challenging than Valentine's, as he has a more limited carrying capacity, and lacks certain items, such as a lockpick and grenade launcher.[5] He appeared in the 2002 remake for the GameCube. The original Japanese release of the 1996 game features a clip of live-action character portraying him smoking a cigarette, which was removed in the overseas version of the game (but restored in the PC CD-ROM port).[6]
Redfield returned in Resident Evil: Code Veronica, where he attempts to rescue his younger sister, Claire, from a secret Umbrella Corporation facility in Antarctica. While there, he confronts Alexia Ashford, the creator of the T-Veronica Virus, and Wesker. He embarks on a mission to destroy the Umbrella Corporation after the game, which is depicted during the events of Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles.[7] Redfield is the main protagonist in the upcoming Resident Evil 5.[8]
[edit] Other media
During the release of the Japanese Sega Saturn version of the original game, Capcom published a promotional sourcebook titled The True Story Behind Biohazard as a pre-order giveaway. The book contains an original short story titled Biohazard: The Beginning by Hiroyuku Ariga. The story depicts the events prior to the first game and fleshes out his character, describing the deaths of his parents in a car accident and his service in the Air Force.
