CHAPTER.2 / MONSTER FILES
GIANT SPIDER (Page 065)
Among those in the arthropoda class which includes insects that prosper everywhere on the earth, the spider family is a successful species. The reason is variety. Spider species are distributed from dry desert zones to tropical jungles and cold regions, and amount to only about 30,000 currently confirmed kinds. They show a capability for extraordinary environmental adaptation. They also fully demonstrated this adaptation ability again under the influence of the T-Virus. They grew large so they aren't easily killed by other creatures and became ferocious, evolving into a new kind and more rapidly intensifying their poisonous nature. The reason why there is no change in appearance may be that the spider's form is already perfect.
DRAIN DEIMOS (Page 066)
This mutant is generally called "DD" and was originally a small blood sucker which lived on the skin of animals. By ingesting the body fluids of infected animals, a secondary infection of the T-Virus was caused and this allowed it to grow at an astonishing speed through exuviations, and in the end, it grew to a hundred times its normal size, to the size of a human. Human cerebrospinal fluid is the main nutrient source of the DD imago and it uses a sharp acerose mouth to stab a human's cervical vertebra, killing the victim almost immediately. This creature prefers dark and wet places like narrow alleyways and is asexual but can transform itself into a female when it obtains enough nutrients, so mono-propagation is its reproduction method.
from DEVELOPMENT STAFF
I designed it by request for "a monster able to utilize three-dimensional space", based on an insect jumping and moving on walls and ceilings. Its motif was a flea. It's hard to see but when attacked, sometimes its arms will be blown off. And please be careful with it, as it lays eggs.
BRAIN SUCKER (Page 068)
The Brain Sucker is an "irregular mutant" similar to "DD", but has two protruding heads. Since its appearance has a clear distinction with reptilians, it can't simply be considered a subspecies of "DD." It was originally speculated to be a kind of flea and because of it parasitizing on different animals, a differentiation was caused. This means that when an insect eats a T-Virus infected animal's flesh, due to the differences in DNA from the host, it will mutate into a totally different creature. In comparison to DD which extracts body fluids, the Brain Sucker feeds directly on the human brain. Its two tongues mutated into a form suitable for breaking its victim's skulls.
from DEVELOPMENT STAFF
I designed it with the image of two entangled monsters. Initially this monster's color was orange with black and when standing and attacking it looks like the mystery man who appears in Kamen Rider (the impression of its whole body wrapped in an orange costume to black head-to-foot tights), and I made various alterations and reached the current design.
SLIDING WORM (Page 071)
During the Raccoon City incident, the "Grave Digger" laid hundreds of eggs in the ground and sewers of the city. In order to survive in these excessively cruel environments, these eggs incubate in about two hours and grow to about 1 meter in length. The larva is called "Sliding Worm" and has four small but very sharp fangs the same shape as the adult. Its body is very bouncy which allows it to leap in order to attack humans. It uses its fangs to bite a person's skin and extract blood. A single worm can extract at most one liter of blood at a time, and when the worms attack as a swarm, their prey will immediately die of excessive blood loss. If a larva can absorb nutrition, it will grow to a giant size like the "Grave Digger" in a week's time.
from DEVELOPMENT STAFF
The Grave Digger was initially designed with tentacles protruding out of the mouth, but it went wrong in the production process and became the Grave Digger's larva (child). It discolors slightly red when it sucks the player's blood.
HUNTER β (Page 072)
The Hunter is the B.O.W. that achieved the results closest to success in the "Mansion Incident"; it had high combat capabilities and the intelligence to handle very simple commands (eliminate all people encountered, etc). Since low-cost cloning was simple, emphasis was placed on performance enhancement as the next mainline Umbrella product and further superimposed gene remodeling gave birth to this β model. In comparison with the α model, which was a trial manufacture type, its offensive abilities slightly declined, and although its appearance became monstrous, its characteristic agility rose markedly, realizing an improved nervous system, astounding instantaneous force, and enabling it to evade gunfire. About 20 were released into Raccoon City for the purpose of a final test before mass-production.
from DEVELOPMENT STAFF
The concept in this design is the same as the Hunter α in "BIO1" and I designed it to emphasize features like its claws and evil impression in its appearance. By the way, the Hunter's headhunting is great this time, but its left arm is dominant now so the left hand is bigger.
HUNTER γ (Page 074)
The γ model is a unique form, popularly called "Frogger", developed by a European Umbrella laboratory after receiving the Hunter α and β models developed by the American research team, and inimitably completed using that know-how. Developed in a reverse way of thinking, they daringly used an amphibian as the base for the fertilized ovum and added human genes in the culture process, and contrary to most expectations, its intelligence failed to reach a level favorably comparable with the β model. However, it seems it is weak to dryness and direct sun-rays similar to the characteristics of amphibians, and it was concluded to lack versatility and that commercialization would be difficult, it having now been sent into Raccoon City strongly implicates a test by the European branch.
from DEVELOPMENT STAFF
The Hunter γ is a monster whose model was made in advance. In the initial stage it was designed with blue blood vessels running from head to toe on a white body, but when I handled it the texture didn't appear on the polygon model well, leading to its current stage. It comes with the "Hunter" name but it's closer to an amphibian than a reptile, its eyes degenerated and it's also toothless and swallows prey whole.
GRAVE DIGGER (Page 076)
With the progression of the virus and Bio Organic Weapons development in the Umbrella Raccoon City Laboratory, the generated waste and contaminated material far exceeded the degradation potential of the disposal plant and steadily leaked into the soil around the city from an early stage. This giant creature, reaching ten meters in total length, achieved a mutation far beyond imagination because, as an underground dwelling arthropod species, its entire habitat area constantly absorbed the T-Virus and was seriously contaminated. Perhaps it succumbed to this biohazard, and it is believed that it digs up the corpses of victims who were quickly buried without being cremated and starved beneath the cemetery in Raccoon Park, digging into them just as its name, Grave Digger, suggests.
from DEVELOPMENT STAFF
The first decided monster I designed in response to a request for a huge earthworm-like monster that emerges from the soil and attacks. However it took a lot of effort to create and there were many problems in production. Initially tentacles came out of the Grave Digger's mouth and were planned to grab guns while Jill fired away, but...
NEMESIS 1ST FORM (Page 078)
The latest B.O.W. which conquered the significant decrease in intelligence, a side effect of the T-Virus, by allowing the control of the brain through the external parasite "NE-α Type", commonly named Nemesis. A mass-produced Tyrant model already with a certain degree of perfection was the base, but under the influence of the cell activation composition which the dominant Nemesis secretes, it transformed into something more like a monster. Its ability to think is markedly high compared with conventional B.O.W.'s, it can continuously carry out missions through self-judgement and according to the situation, it's also even capable of properly using weapons requiring special knowledge, such as a rocket launcher. The coat wrapped around its entire body is blastproof and bulletproof and also plays the role of a straitjacket which suppresses emergencies of going out-of-control.
from DEVELOPMENT STAFF
I designed it when the director asked for "a rough guy who attacks with weapons and has an intimidating build" in order to express the fear of pursuit. We made a parasite to characterize it and it's assumed to be a test subject with its stitching and exposed muscles.
NEMESIS 2ND FORM (Page 079)
Although the Pursuer "Nemesis-T Type" acquired a regenerative ability far exceeding a normal Tyrant due to the Nemesis parasite's secretions, it's difficult to say its genetic code is stable in relation to the two creatures coexisting, and in the process of healing damage to its body, a mutation progressed at an increasing rate. With this second form, which lost the coat on the upper half of its body due to an accumulation of damage, it can be grasped that the tentacles released from their restraint became enlarged and increased its aggressiveness, and in addition, the enlargement of the Nemesis' body, which could erode the central nervous system and brain stem from the medulla oblongata, can be seen as it trying to adapt to the critical situation. Its arms no longer have a form suitable for the use of firearms and its multiple tentacles outweigh them as a means of a powerful attack.
from DEVELOPMENT STAFF
The Pursuer has three types from the first form to the third form, but it's not a transmutative metamorphosis as an evolutionary process like "G" in "BIO2", its transformations are merely absolutely influenced by damage. By the way, its coat comes off in the second form and its restricted tentacles are released and it becomes stronger.
NEMESIS 3RD FORM (Page 080)
Through damage and resistance improvements, the Nemesis-T Type appeared to solve the fatal weapon defects of intelligence decline and dramatic change of form due to excessive damage, which often occurred in the Tyrant. However, if the brain of the synchronized Tyrant is destroyed, its survival instinct is believed to exceed the control bestowed for Umbrella, and all control becomes impossible in this berserk form. Its appearance no longer retains the Tyrant's original form. Its damaged limbs are substituted by abnormal development of its tentacles, and as for the head, the Nemesis itself forms an organ for predation and absorption. The cells of the Tyrant and the Nemesis each struggle for control, distorting and transforming it, and the strongly-acidic toxic pus that it spreads continuously is believed to have absorbed the processing room's waste fluid from blebs on its back, swelling up in its shoulder. It is reduced to a bizarre-looking monster left with a single thought of S.T.A.R.S.--- eliminating Jill.
from DEVELOPMENT STAFF
The design I was most troubled by trying to show its evil impression as much as possible. It might be unnoticeable during the game but the parasite cells replicated abnormally in the Pursuer's body and the third form became huge, its body reversed and became a quadrupedal form facing upward on its back (the long tusk-like things protruding from its back in the third form are ribs protruding from the chest).
"NE-α TYPE" PARASITE & "NEMESIS-T TYPE" (Page 081)
By examining the valuable combat data provided by the "Mansion Incident", the Bio Organic Weapon research teams of Umbrella recognized the fact that most B.O.W.'s created using the T-Virus possessed only low intelligence and were presently insufficient as "products."
Even the Tyrant, regarded as a perfect ultimate life-form, was unable to adequately execute orders--- In the face of these results, the research teams of each branch respectively sought possibilities of improving intelligence through different approaches. Having continued research for some time, one of these answers was presented by the European branch under headquarters' direct control, a unique and devilish biological remodeling process that was said to completely put the brain under control while strengthening a B.O.W.'s capabilities, by allowing an organism of an entirely new species to parasitize it.
Then, the parasite "NE-α Type" was developed--- known as Nemesis. When this is transplanted into a Bio Organic Weapon's spinal cord at a cellular level, it absorbs the internal T-Virus cells to grow, then forms a unique brain near the medulla oblongata. At the same time, it invades the central nervous system and destroys the host's frontal lobe, modifying the neural network to link its own brain with all remaining brain functions. Through this, Nemesis becomes responsible for cerebration in place of the host and completely controls the body as its own.
In addition, an interesting report was made concerning a "Nemesis-T Type" test subject, in which this was transplanted into the latest Tyrant. In this case, it gained a sense of self during the Nemesis culture process and attempted to escape from the facility with others. That showed that the test subject's intelligence was drastically improved, and suggests a risk that a B.O.W. could become a new intelligent organism and rebel against humanity.
At such a time, could mankind survive---?

CHAPTER.7 / EXTRA FILES / FILE I Character Profiles
JILL VALENTINE (Page 334)
Personal Data
Height: 166cm / Weight: 49kg / Age: 23 / Blood type: B
Nationality: United States of America
Attached to: R.P.D. Special Forces S.T.A.R.S.
Special Skill: Explosive ordinance disposal, unlocking using a lockpick
Remarks: Completed US Special Forces Delta Force training course
Supervisor's Report
A beautiful female warrior with an indomitable will
It's hard to imagine from her neat appearance, but she already possesses survival skills comparable to front-line mercenaries. This is probably due to the harsh experience she had during the "Mansion Incident," which fostered in her an ability to adapt to emergencies even better than normal people. It is believed that she had the skills to be selected for the elite unit S.T.A.R.S., who are chosen from across public, private, and regional boundaries. Although she has a tendency to be impulsive in many areas, her attitude of never giving up and trying to find a way to get things done without losing sight of her basic objective foreshadows the possibility that she will continue to boldly be an obstacle to Umbrella's plans in the future.
CARLOS OLIVEIRA (Page 335)
Personal Data
Height: 182cm / Weight: 83kg / Age: 21 / Blood type: O
Nationality: South America (Details are unclear.)
Attached to: U.B.C.S. D Platoon A Squad Corporal
Special Skill: Weapons maintenance and local procurement, and piloting helicopter and Cessna aircraft
Remarks: South American communist guerrilla organization member
Supervisor's Report
A young veteran who has lived as a guerilla
He was originally a war criminal and exiled soldier sentenced to life imprisonment and capital punishment who was then forced to enlist in the organized U.B.C.S. in exchange for mitigation of his charges, and he is young enough to be called its youngest member. From childhood, he committed himself to an anti-government Communist guerrilla organization based in a certain South American country, and in order to ascertain his capabilities, the fact that he's spent more time than he looks as a soldier shouldn't be forgotten. Since he also survived when the organization was completely destroyed due to a mop-up by government troops, a mercenary coordinator evaluated his tenacious survival techniques and scouted him into the U.B.C.S. In addition, it's thought that he changed his name and face in order to erase his past.
* Due to his youth, he can appear cowardly under desperate situations, but surprisingly possesses the courage to actively deal with crises he faces.
MIKHAIL VICTOR (Page 336)
Personal Data
Height: 178cm / Weight: 98kg / Age: 45 / Blood type: A
Nationality: St. Petersburg, now Rossyskaya Sovetskaya Federativnaya Sotsialisticheskaya Republika
Attached to: U.B.C.S. D Platoon Leader
Special Skills: Terrorism planning and execution
Remarks: Former Soviet Union Army Captain
Supervisor's Report
A too-kind commander who believes in rebellion
Entrusted with the 30-man D Platoon, within the meritocratic U.B.C.S. it's an undoubted fact that he's an excellent commander. His military career prior to enlisting was something special, and in spite of even being promoted to Captain in the former Soviet Union military, he unceremoniously retired from service after the federation's collapse and suddenly participated in the independence movement of the ethnic minority his wife belonged to, and he was successful in much acts of terrorism as the leader of a guerrilla organization. The reason Mikhail consented to a position in the U.B.C.S., despite his rebellious spirit, was conditional upon clemency for his compatriots who were arrested alongside him. He tries to protect others, even by abandoning his cause, and with most of his subordinates losing their lives in combat in Raccoon City, it was surely a nightmare for him.
* Mikhail is angry over the loss of his subordinates and directs his hatred towards the Zombies. Although he's a capable commander, he's somewhat sentimental and cares nothing for his own life.
NIKOLAI ZINOVIEV (Page 337)
Personal Data
Height: 187cm / Weight: 102kg / Age: 35 / Blood type: A
Nationality: Moscow, now Rossyskaya Sovetskaya Federativnaya Sotsialisticheskaya Republika
Attached to: U.B.C.S. D Platoon B Squad Leader
Special Skills: Trap placement, hand-to-hand combat, assassination, etc
Remarks: Former Soviet Union Spetsnaz Special Forces Sergeant
Supervisor's Report
A ruthless giant who returns from any battlefield
There is almost nothing clarified regarding his career. What's become clear is only the fact that in the Cold War era before the collapse of the Soviet Union, he was a member of the Spetsnaz special forces who secretly maneuvered in sabotage and VIP killings around the world, relishing in an utmost evil reputation. With the advanced training he received at the time, Nikolai's skills as a soldier reached an exceptional level and he possessed the techniques and knowledge to deal with all situations on the battlefield, from woodland to urban combat, martial arts, installing and disarming booby traps, and the art of assassination. Thus there were many cases where only he returned in operations where the unit was wiped out, and it seems that within the unit, he has a poor reputation and reliability as a mere soldier.
* Without hesitation, he shoots and kills Murphy as he was starting to turn into a Zombie. He's ruthless in cutting down any obstacles to his own survival.
TYRELL PATRICK (Page 338)
Personal Data
Height: 185cm / Weight: 90kg / Age: 32 / Blood type: AB
Nationality: Republic of Suriname
Attached to: U.B.C.S. B Platoon A Squad
Special Skill: Side Business
Remarks: French Foreign Legion member, immigrated from the Netherlands
Supervisor's Report
A mercenary with no morals and a keen business sense
Despite possessing high capabilities for a mercenary, his money-minded obsession seemed unusually strong, and at the time he belonged to the French Foreign Legion, he used his position to dabble in a side-business of heavy weapons smuggling. As a result, these weapons were used for genocide and his illegal sales were discovered, and though he was sentenced to life imprisonment after being discharged, he was a clever operator and actively contacted a mercenary coordinator himself and endorsed a special measure of release subject to enlisting in the U.B.C.S. It could be said that a man of talent devoid of convictions like himself, whose only criteria is money, is a very convenient piece for an employer.
MURPHY SEEKER (Page 338)
Personal Data
Height: 191cm / Weight: 82kg / Age: 27 / Blood type: B
Nationality: United States of America
Attached to: U.B.C.S. A Platoon A Squad
Special Skill: Sniping
Remarks: U.S. Marine Corps Member
Supervisor's Report
A sniper with a warm heart and a fierce temperament
Although he has a slightly shy personality for a soldier, he has a fierce past where in order to retaliate against a street gang for mercilessly murdering his brother, he shot 20 members of the organization one after another with a hunting rifle. His god-like sniper skills, referred to as first-class in the Marine Corps, caught the eye of a coordinator who rescued him from serving life imprisonment, and he joined the U.B.C.S. Since he drank T-Virus contaminated water following the unit's annihilation in Raccoon City, he faced his best friend Carlos and begged to be shot before he became a Zombie, showing a readiness to die as a man.
BRAD VICKERS (Page 339)
Personal Data
Height: 183cm / Weight: 84.5kg / Age: 38 / Blood type: O
Nationality: United States of America
Affiliation: R.P.D. Special Forces S.T.A.R.S.
Special Skill: Helicopter Pilot
Remarks: Chemical Protection Personnel
Supervisor's Report
A weak-minded man who refused to fight
One of the survivors of the "Mansion Incident" who belonged to the S.T.A.R.S. A (Alpha) Team like Jill, but unlike the other surviving members, he was a pilot in charge of the helicopter and wasn't directly involved with the incident itself. As a result, he was seen in a rather frightened state in Raccoon City as it was flooded with Zombies, and after sensing the existence of the Pursuer, he also completely lost himself with his innate cowardice. He's intrinsically not a backboned type and kept his distance from the other S.T.A.R.S. members after the Mansion Incident, appearing to show no willingness to pursue Umbrella.
SUPERVISORS - THOSE WHO BECAME THE EYES OF UMBRELLA (Page 339)
Several people charged with special missions, called "supervisors", were sent inside the U.B.C.S. They are special agents under the direct control of Umbrella executives and their existence isn't known to ordinary members. The duty of the supervisors in Raccoon City is to gather valuable data under the special difficult to obtain situation of the most unprecedented large-scale biohazard in history.
Collecting or destroying samples and data left in medical facilities and laboratories, field survey of mutant creatures and virus contaminated organisms including Zombies, and combat record reports before the annihilation of the U.B.C.S. who were sacrificed to obtain combat data etc.--- point being that they're not allies for the general members to trust.
They are live surveillance cameras of Umbrella, calmly observing the ways in which guinea pigs die. In addition to being administered superior virus antibodies, a relay base for many means of escape and outside communication was covertly arranged by Umbrella agents who infiltrated the city beforehand.
Due to such duties, supervisors have more exceptional careers than general U.B.C.S. members, and moreover, the only ones selected are those who can be controlled through remuneration, with no sense of justice or morality. However, there are some who seem to want to take advantage of the chaos in order to eliminate all other supervisors and sell their data at a high price.

Supervisor's Report
A beautiful female warrior with an indomitable will
It's hard to imagine from her neat appearance, but she already possesses survival skills comparable to front-line mercenaries. This is probably due to the harsh experience she had during the "Mansion Incident," which fostered in her an ability to adapt to emergencies even better than normal people. It is believed that she had the skills to be selected for the elite unit S.T.A.R.S., who are chosen from across public, private, and regional boundaries. Although she has a tendency to be impulsive in many areas, her attitude of never giving up and trying to find a way to get things done without losing sight of her basic objective foreshadows the possibility that she will continue to boldly be an obstacle to Umbrella's plans in the future.

Remarks: South American communist guerrilla organization member
Supervisor's Report
A young veteran who has lived as a guerilla
He was originally a war criminal and exiled soldier sentenced to life imprisonment and capital punishment who was then forced to enlist in the organized U.B.C.S. in exchange for mitigation of his charges, and he is young enough to be called its youngest member. From childhood, he committed himself to an anti-government Communist guerrilla organization based in a certain South American country, and in order to ascertain his capabilities, the fact that he's spent more time than he looks as a soldier shouldn't be forgotten. Since he also survived when the organization was completely destroyed due to a mop-up by government troops, a mercenary coordinator evaluated his tenacious survival techniques and scouted him into the U.B.C.S. In addition, it's thought that he changed his name and face in order to erase his past.
* Due to his youth, he can appear cowardly under desperate situations, but surprisingly possesses the courage to actively deal with crises he faces.

Remarks: Former Soviet Union Army Captain
Supervisor's Report
A too-kind commander who believes in rebellion
Entrusted with the 30-man D Platoon, within the meritocratic U.B.C.S. it's an undoubted fact that he's an excellent commander. His military career prior to enlisting was something special, and in spite of even being promoted to Captain in the former Soviet Union military, he unceremoniously retired from service after the federation's collapse and suddenly participated in the independence movement of the ethnic minority his wife belonged to, and he was successful in much acts of terrorism as the leader of a guerrilla organization. The reason Mikhail consented to a position in the U.B.C.S., despite his rebellious spirit, was conditional upon clemency for his compatriots who were arrested alongside him. He tries to protect others, even by abandoning his cause, and with most of his subordinates losing their lives in combat in Raccoon City, it was surely a nightmare for him.
* Mikhail is angry over the loss of his subordinates and directs his hatred towards the Zombies. Although he's a capable commander, he's somewhat sentimental and cares nothing for his own life.

Supervisor's Report
A ruthless giant who returns from any battlefield
There is almost nothing clarified regarding his career. What's become clear is only the fact that in the Cold War era before the collapse of the Soviet Union, he was a member of the Spetsnaz special forces who secretly maneuvered in sabotage and VIP killings around the world, relishing in an utmost evil reputation. With the advanced training he received at the time, Nikolai's skills as a soldier reached an exceptional level and he possessed the techniques and knowledge to deal with all situations on the battlefield, from woodland to urban combat, martial arts, installing and disarming booby traps, and the art of assassination. Thus there were many cases where only he returned in operations where the unit was wiped out, and it seems that within the unit, he has a poor reputation and reliability as a mere soldier.
* Without hesitation, he shoots and kills Murphy as he was starting to turn into a Zombie. He's ruthless in cutting down any obstacles to his own survival.

Supervisor's Report
A mercenary with no morals and a keen business sense
Despite possessing high capabilities for a mercenary, his money-minded obsession seemed unusually strong, and at the time he belonged to the French Foreign Legion, he used his position to dabble in a side-business of heavy weapons smuggling. As a result, these weapons were used for genocide and his illegal sales were discovered, and though he was sentenced to life imprisonment after being discharged, he was a clever operator and actively contacted a mercenary coordinator himself and endorsed a special measure of release subject to enlisting in the U.B.C.S. It could be said that a man of talent devoid of convictions like himself, whose only criteria is money, is a very convenient piece for an employer.

A sniper with a warm heart and a fierce temperament
Although he has a slightly shy personality for a soldier, he has a fierce past where in order to retaliate against a street gang for mercilessly murdering his brother, he shot 20 members of the organization one after another with a hunting rifle. His god-like sniper skills, referred to as first-class in the Marine Corps, caught the eye of a coordinator who rescued him from serving life imprisonment, and he joined the U.B.C.S. Since he drank T-Virus contaminated water following the unit's annihilation in Raccoon City, he faced his best friend Carlos and begged to be shot before he became a Zombie, showing a readiness to die as a man.

Supervisor's Report
A weak-minded man who refused to fight
One of the survivors of the "Mansion Incident" who belonged to the S.T.A.R.S. A (Alpha) Team like Jill, but unlike the other surviving members, he was a pilot in charge of the helicopter and wasn't directly involved with the incident itself. As a result, he was seen in a rather frightened state in Raccoon City as it was flooded with Zombies, and after sensing the existence of the Pursuer, he also completely lost himself with his innate cowardice. He's intrinsically not a backboned type and kept his distance from the other S.T.A.R.S. members after the Mansion Incident, appearing to show no willingness to pursue Umbrella.

CHAPTER.7 / EXTRA FILES / FILE II ORIGINAL SETTING DESIGNS
JILL VALENTINE (Page 340)
from DEVELOPMENT STAFF
For redesigning Jill, I asked to make sure that she was attractive enough to appeal to everyone. I made her a "pro trap and explosives disposal specialist" and further clarified her setting with the fact that she has experienced training equivalent to that of the U.S. Special Forces Delta Force.
CARLOS OLIVEIRA (Page 341)
from DEVELOPMENT STAFF
Of all the new characters, Carlos was the one whose name kept changing from one to another. Brazilian names aren't easy for us to understand, so we had to choose a name that sounded good.
His design's based on the image of a "wild but gentle and kind-hearted man." As is common with all the mercenaries, Carlos has a very dark past. This is the reason why Carlos's place of origin is "South America," he demanded a "new start in life" as a reward in exchange for joining the U.B.C.S. That means his name, face, nationality, etc. are...
MIKHAIL VICTOR (Page 342)
from DEVELOPMENT STAFF
Mikhail was a character created on the premise of a "heroic death" that symbolized the mercenary troops who were sent to be discarded, and thanks to this, the way he died changed many times as the scenario and game were adjusted, and I remember that we went through a lot of trial and error.
In terms of design, I asked for the image of a "common soldier with a sense of gravitas." After the collapse of the Soviet Union, he went from an army officer to joining guerrillas for the sake of his wife, who was an ethnic minority, and successfully carried out an independent terrorist campaign, at the expense of many civilians.
NIKOLAI ZINOVIEV (Page 343)
from DEVELOPMENT STAFF
Nikolai was initially the "mastermind" character and was actually supposed to be part of the "Zinoviev Brothers" along with Mikhail (the good guy brother and the bad guy brother...).
His design image is that of a strong, cold-hearted mercenary, and his setting is also that of a professional in unconventional combat chosen by Umbrella. He was seen as a rival to HUNK within the Umbrella organization. This is the reason why Nikolai is only equipped with a handgun and a knife in the bonus game "The Mercenaries".
DARIO ROSSO (Page 344)
from DEVELOPMENT STAFF
He's the only civilian in the story who has lines of dialogue. Originally, he was supposed to be "representative of the weak" and die after being active a little while longer. As a lovable supporting character, he has a few secret followers among the development team, and some of them even imitate Dario's voice acting by shouting "WHAT?", to imitate his voice actor's passionate performance, which was often seen by some of the planning staff. Dario's daughter's name is Lucia, and in the early days of development, she was still alive. He's not related to Mikhail.
MURPHY SEEKER
from DEVELOPMENT STAFF
Carlos' best friend Murphy, who's on the verge of becoming a Zombie, appears to portray the tragedy of having to shoot someone who's somewhere between human and Zombie. Many people would've hesitated, as did Carlos, at the thought of their loved ones or neighbors turning into monsters. This is one of the reasons why Raccoon City has turned into a city of the dead.
TYRELL PATRICK
from DEVELOPMENT STAFF
Tyrell, who appears as one of Umbrella's "supervisors," was designed to be a "sarcastic, intellectual policeman." I wanted to include more black characters, but in the end he was the only one to appear. In the design stage, there was also a black female helicopter pilot...
POLICE FORCE (Page 345)
from DEVELOPMENT STAFF
This was drawn from an existing setting of a select police force similar to riot police, created by the Raccoon Police Department separately from the special ops unit S.T.A.R.S. Special training was intensified, aiming to pick out officers with the intention of forming the Raccoon S.W.A.T.

CHAPTER.7 / EXTRA FILES / FILE III Development Staff Q&A (p.348~351)
Respondents......
Q.1~23: [BIOHAZARD 3] Scenario & Creative Changes, Yasuhisa Kawamura
Q.24: [BIOHAZARD 3] Director, Kazuhiro Aoyama
Q1. Could the citizens of Raccoon City not escape from its closure by the U.S. military?
A1. It took some time for the U.S. military to surround Raccoon City, including a vote in Congress. Although Raccoon City was encircled under the President's executive order, there was a considerable number of civilians who had fled the city before that time. Many of them were caught by Army and National Guard lookouts, and those detained were examined and received quarantine treatment according to their levels.
Q2. Through what method was the Pursuer deployed into Raccoon City?
A2. It was brought in by a private carrier, like the helicopter that airlifted the Tyrants. Incidentally, Hunters and others were brought in by land due to their large numbers.
Q3. What is the true reason why the Pursuer was deployed?
A3. The Pursuer was given an order to begin eliminating all the S.T.A.R.S. officers in Raccoon City. However, it was limited to Raccoon City and the Pursuer executes the order for experimental combat deployment, same as the Hunters. It was a plan that attempted to demonstrate the height of its capabilities by eliminating the competent S.T.A.R.S. officer targets.
Q4. How did the Pursuer ascertain the S.T.A.R.S. officers?
A4. The team that developed the Pursuer was also in charge of education, and the officials had it memorize photographs and visual materials of the S.T.A.R.S. officers. The Pursuer is intelligent so it will carry out any instructions through understanding.
Q5. What is the origin of the word "Nemesis"?
A5. The word Nemesis means "Goddess of Revenge" and is what the Sixth Laboratory development team in Europe that developed the Pursuer chose as a pet name. It may have been carried out in revenge for the prototype Tyrant tragically defeated by Jill and the others in "BIO1."
Q6. Of what sort of circumstances did Dario Rosso die?
A6. He miserably couldn't endure the fear of the Zombies invading the warehouse and was cornered when he opened the container door and ran away.
Q7. What are the whereabouts of the Raccoon City mayor?
A7. The Raccoon City mayor ran away at the start and is under the protective custody of the U.S. military.
Q8. What sort of band is "Big E" that planned to play live in Bar Jack?
A8. "Big E" is a pure American rock band whose hometown is Raccoon City. They're popular and there is nobody in Raccoon City who doesn't listen to them. In addition, all the members survived as they were in the middle of returning to Raccoon City from a tour.
Q9. Marvin disappears along the way, but what was he doing before he met Leon and Claire in "BIO2?"
A9. His unclear mind recovered every now and then, and he ran out of energy once more near the lockers.
Q10. How did Nikolai survive the event in the gas station or sales office?
A10. How Nikolai survived is shrouded in secrecy. But it's clear he inherited his techniques from the special forces of the former Soviet Union he once belonged to. Then following that, Nikolai didn't show himself for a while, as he refused to get caught up in the struggle between Jill and the Pursuer.
Q11. On what date did Jill ring the clock tower bell?
A11. It was September 28. Jill's comatose state followed and as a result, she slept for over a full day.
Q12. Was the Hunter γ in the hospital office capsules captured? Or was the hospital itself an Umbrella research facility?
A12. The hospital was financed by Umbrella, but it was purely a private medical facility. The Hunter γ was captured, the hospital staff risked their lives to sedate them and carried them into the laboratory.
Q13. Why was Tyrell trying to open the safe in the hospital basement?
A13. Not just Tyrell, but the supervisors aimed to recover or destroy all data and important documents (including the hospital medical records). He was going to open the safe to obtain even a little of such things.
Q14. Carlos created a vaccine to neutralize the T-Virus in the hospital, but did the hospital create this vaccine before it was destroyed? And if so, why weren't they able to use it?
A14. The doctors arrived at the testing stage of the vaccine through research, as written in the diary left in the hospital. However, most of the doctors and nurses at that point were under a semi-conscious state in response to viral infection and turned into Zombies until not a single one survived.
Q15. What are the effects in the T-Virus that will revive the dead as inferred from Brad who turned into a Zombie after losing his brain and the zombified bodies sleeping in the cemetery?
A15. Brad was infected with a powerful form of the T-Virus dwelling in the Pursuer's tentacles, so his brain was destroyed, but his body didn't die. Also, the Zombies who crawl out from the cemetery were infected with the T-Virus and revived in the earth because they were buried once in state of apparent death.
Q16. How did Nikolai know all the supervisors?
A16. All the supervisors recognized each other.
Q17. What was the U.S. Army doing at the Disposal Plant? Also, what was the reason for the Tyrants fighting against the U.S. troops there?
A17. It was a complete mistake that the U.S. Army Special Forces went to the incineration disposal plant. There are Umbrella personnel within the U.S. government. However, among these types of people, there are double agents on both sides and intelligence on the Umbrella side was leaked to the U.S. government. The Special Forces wiped out in the factory were dispatched for the purpose of seizing the newly developed "G-Virus" and to protect its developer, but went up the lift to the disposal plant far from the destination as they had no intelligence on the actual facility. (They invaded from the underground freight train route). But at the same time, Umbrella had already caught the leak in intelligence and ordered that all remaining Tyrants be dropped at the disposal plant, after one T was dropped on the police station. The consequence was that the Special Forces and Tyrants were killed in grand simultaneous attacks and the virus was recovered by the Umbrella Security Service, who gained total control of the laboratory in the meantime. In addition, the rail cannon the Special Forces brought in for use against "G Creatures" wasn't used during the surprise attack by the Tyrants.
Q18. Why did the Pursuer kill Nikolai?
A18. Jill came in contact with Nikolai and the Pursuer saw them talking several times, recognizing that Nikolai was Jill's ally. "That woman is dangerous..." (No. We can't trust her.) What he felt so uneasy about on the streetcar became a reality and he was killed.
Q19. Which type of missile appeared in the ending?
A19. As of yet, it's unclear if this new type of bomb is one like a thermobraic bomb with the highest destructive power next to a nuclear weapon, but radioactive contamination seems to be extremely low. In this story, it could be said that it's equal to the rail cannon as a top-secret weapon of the U.S. military.
Q20. To what extent did the American government know about Umbrella? In addition, is there a reason why they never publicly attacked the Umbrella Corporation?
A20. The United States itself is a prominent customer so it has extensive knowledge of Umbrella's product list, say for example viral weapons and B.O.W.'s (Bio Organic Weapons). However, the details were limited to products available on the market and they hadn't received intelligence on sections considered top-secret within Umbrella, such as development status. Also, the reason the U.S. government doesn't attack Umbrella is "it would bring unnecessary trouble upon themselves." Striking Umbrella would expose the dark side of the U.S. government itself for the collusive relationship between Umbrella and government leaders. It's an act of suicide for many politicians. This concept can be said for many advanced nations. It circulates in almost every advanced nation, where powerful political leaders have purchased something from Umbrella's product list.
Q21. What was Barry doing until he rescued Jill?
A21. After parting with Chris, Barry spent time on getting his family to take refuge in a safe place. Then when his family was calm, he was going to join Chris and contacted Jill, but Jill had lost contact. Thereby, Barry went to rescue Jill with a private helicopter and hurried back to Raccoon City. Barry waited, timing it until when the U.S. military forces lifted their siege for the missile drop, then infiltrated the urban zone at a low altitude and rescued Jill at a time when she had little left. Of course, believing Jill had survived was a do-or-die action.
Q22. Did Jill investigate William Birkin's research facility and the G-Virus?
A22. That's right. She didn't know the details, but grasped the fact that important research was being conducted.
Q23. Specifically what is the meaning of Jill's "Last Escape"?
A23. The title "Last Escape" is loaded with meaning, of the end of Raccoon City, and of farewell to the stage that has sustained the series.
Q24. Any messages to the readers!!
A24. We created a new horror, and every day was a dilemma with a condensed production period and the challenges of our own "BIO3", including the formalities of being a game to play rather than watch, and elaborating for core fans, but it was surrounded by passionate staff who pursued fun and fear, and every day was enjoyable.
How did everyone respond to our challenge called "BIO3"? If you have any opinions, comments or complaints, please contact us at CAPCOM without hesitation. Our challenge isn't over yet. Please look forward to it in the future.

A17. It was a complete mistake that the U.S. Army Special Forces went to the incineration disposal plant. There are Umbrella personnel within the U.S. government. However, among these types of people, there are double agents on both sides and intelligence on the Umbrella side was leaked to the U.S. government. The Special Forces wiped out in the factory were dispatched for the purpose of seizing the newly developed "G-Virus" and to protect its developer, but went up the lift to the disposal plant far from the destination as they had no intelligence on the actual facility. (They invaded from the underground freight train route). But at the same time, Umbrella had already caught the leak in intelligence and ordered that all remaining Tyrants be dropped at the disposal plant, after one T was dropped on the police station. The consequence was that the Special Forces and Tyrants were killed in grand simultaneous attacks and the virus was recovered by the Umbrella Security Service, who gained total control of the laboratory in the meantime. In addition, the rail cannon the Special Forces brought in for use against "G Creatures" wasn't used during the surprise attack by the Tyrants.
Q18. Why did the Pursuer kill Nikolai?
A18. Jill came in contact with Nikolai and the Pursuer saw them talking several times, recognizing that Nikolai was Jill's ally. "That woman is dangerous..." (No. We can't trust her.) What he felt so uneasy about on the streetcar became a reality and he was killed.
Q19. Which type of missile appeared in the ending?
A19. As of yet, it's unclear if this new type of bomb is one like a thermobraic bomb with the highest destructive power next to a nuclear weapon, but radioactive contamination seems to be extremely low. In this story, it could be said that it's equal to the rail cannon as a top-secret weapon of the U.S. military.
Q20. To what extent did the American government know about Umbrella? In addition, is there a reason why they never publicly attacked the Umbrella Corporation?
A20. The United States itself is a prominent customer so it has extensive knowledge of Umbrella's product list, say for example viral weapons and B.O.W.'s (Bio Organic Weapons). However, the details were limited to products available on the market and they hadn't received intelligence on sections considered top-secret within Umbrella, such as development status. Also, the reason the U.S. government doesn't attack Umbrella is "it would bring unnecessary trouble upon themselves." Striking Umbrella would expose the dark side of the U.S. government itself for the collusive relationship between Umbrella and government leaders. It's an act of suicide for many politicians. This concept can be said for many advanced nations. It circulates in almost every advanced nation, where powerful political leaders have purchased something from Umbrella's product list.
Q21. What was Barry doing until he rescued Jill?
A21. After parting with Chris, Barry spent time on getting his family to take refuge in a safe place. Then when his family was calm, he was going to join Chris and contacted Jill, but Jill had lost contact. Thereby, Barry went to rescue Jill with a private helicopter and hurried back to Raccoon City. Barry waited, timing it until when the U.S. military forces lifted their siege for the missile drop, then infiltrated the urban zone at a low altitude and rescued Jill at a time when she had little left. Of course, believing Jill had survived was a do-or-die action.
Q22. Did Jill investigate William Birkin's research facility and the G-Virus?
A22. That's right. She didn't know the details, but grasped the fact that important research was being conducted.
Q23. Specifically what is the meaning of Jill's "Last Escape"?
A23. The title "Last Escape" is loaded with meaning, of the end of Raccoon City, and of farewell to the stage that has sustained the series.
Q24. Any messages to the readers!!
A24. We created a new horror, and every day was a dilemma with a condensed production period and the challenges of our own "BIO3", including the formalities of being a game to play rather than watch, and elaborating for core fans, but it was surrounded by passionate staff who pursued fun and fear, and every day was enjoyable.
How did everyone respond to our challenge called "BIO3"? If you have any opinions, comments or complaints, please contact us at CAPCOM without hesitation. Our challenge isn't over yet. Please look forward to it in the future.
