Meanwhile, the US Government has quarantined the city and dispatched its own team of elite soldiers to determine the source of the mysterious outbreak. You are an Umbrella Security Services soldier (U.S.S.), competing alone or in up to four player co-op in a battle against all the competing forces at play in Raccoon City. Expect the return of original Resident Evil enemies, iconic landmarks such as the Raccoon City Police Department and fan favourite characters, including Leon S.

Characters

Wolfpack
"Vector"
Little is known about Vector's background, other than he has obviously trained with Japanese masters as his martial artistry is impressive. His movements are instinctive and smooth – this is in complete contrast to when Vector is at rest, standing as motionless as a statue.
He has spent time training directly underU.S.S. Alpha Teamleader,HUNK per his request. Both share a mutual respect for the other's abilities – and have an ice-cold disregard for any U.S.S. Soldier they consider inferior.
Vladimir Bodrovski"Spectre"
Member of theUmbrella Security Service, and renowned for his great sharpshooting ability. Spectre also has a goggle-like device that can be used in many ways (looking through walls and thermal imaging).
Previously with the former Soviet Union's security services, Spectre was well suited to his role as an intelligence technician where his lack of any standout physical or social characteristics helped him to remain virtually invisible in any situation.
Michaela Heinzwaffen "Bertha"
Bertha is an excellent medic, dedicated to healing and keeping the human body working to its maximum potential. Her talent in this area overshadows the fact that she also has an extreme lack of bedside manner; it often seems it is her mission to terrify the person she is working on by detailing exactly how much pain they can expect to experience. This is a particularly pertinent point as Bertha very rarely uses anesthetic.
Hector Hivers "Beltway"
is a heavily-built member of theUmbrella Security Service, he's an expert on explosives weapons, wearing equally-heavy armour with a grenade belt along the waist. His left leg is a prosthetic.
Karena Lesproux "Lupo"
She is an experienced French Special Forces Operative who left soldiering to focus on raising a family with her 'dream man'. Unfortunately, her husband was abusive and violent towards her, something she tolerated for the sake of her children thanks to her training and discipline. Things escalated when he laid hands on the children – at which point Lupo snapped and killed him with her bare hands.
Christine Yamata "Four Eyes"
Four Eyes has been dedicated to science since she was a child – as a result she did not develop the social skills needed to operate successfully in later life. She is detached from normal human emotions, seeing people merely as breeding grounds for her singular love: virology.
Echo Six

The reason for this was to record incriminating behavior and information, which would then be sold. After she managed to dupe the US Federal Government's top surveillance expert at one of her parties, she was offered a job. How she became a sniper is unknown.
Erez Morris"Harley"
Before joining the US Army sometime before or duringOperation Desert Stormin early1991, Erez' was a stereotypical biker: rude; foul-mothed and a criminal. His reason for signing up was solely as a means of avoiding a jail sentence. During the Gulf War, Erez excelled himself as a medic, earning his place inEcho Six.
Lawrence Kimbala "Shona"
Lawrence originated Zimbabwe in southern Africa, where he helped treat diseases. When his father died, Lawrence attended the Harvard medical school, where he learned virology. With this knowledge, he was selected for the Army's special weapons program.

Caroline Floyd"Willow"
Caroline developed her skill for speed and elusion growing up alone on a reservation inMontana. She joined the Army straight out of school, excelling as part of theSpecial Forces. Never satisfied with herself, Willow continued to hone her skills each and every day.
