“ | More and more I find myself wondering if it's is all worth fighting for. For a future without fear? Yeah, it's worth it. | „ |
~ Chris's closing monologue at the end of Resident Evil 5. |
Chris Redfield is the main protagonist of the Resident Evil franchise. He is a veteran counter terrorist that currently works with the BSAA (Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance) in order to cleanse the world of infectious creations and restore it to its pre apocalyptic state, working towards this goal for at least 38 years.
He is voiced by Hiroki Tōchi and Kazuhiko Inoue in the Japanese versions, and by numerous English actors through the series, such as Joe Whyte, Roger Craig Smith, Kevin Dorman, David Vaughn, and Jeff Schine.
Actions and Characteristics[]
- While he is short-tempered, wrathful and can be cold and distant towards others, Chris is still the most admirable hero in the Resident Evil series, saving the planet from being infected or destroyed four times, taking down the Umbrella Corporation who experimented on and tortured or killed thousands of innocent people, defeating several heinous villains such as Albert Wesker, Carla Radames, Alexia Ashford, Excella Gionne and Ricardo Irving and saving millions of lives in New York City from being permanently infected. He is also one of the main people who started bio counter terrorism, in order to cleanse the world of infectious creations and return it to its pre apocalyptic state.
- He is inhumanly strong, being able to take Albert Wesker on in hand to hand combat despite Wesker being a superhuman with perfect physical ability and is even able to restrain him when Wesker is in his Uroboros state. He is also capable of sending infected flying into the air with his punches, even ones who are around 8-9 feet tall. By the time of Resident Evil: Village, he is also the leader of his own squad that have airstrikes, vast amounts of explosives and powerful weaponry, plus being a high ranking member of the BSAA, putting him above almost every other hero in the series.
- He is exceptionally brave, very rarely showing any signs of fear even when experiencing the zombies for the first time in Spencer Mansion and is constantly willing to throw himself in danger to protect the people he cares about, most notably shown when he was willing to take on an army of infected single handedly in Resident Evil 5 in order to find Jill as he believed she might still be alive and when he told Jake and Sherry to retreat from HAOS so that he and Piers could kill it despite HAOS being far bigger and more dangerous then any of them.
- He has a very high level of influence over the series, due to him being the most prominent protagonist in the series that stops many threats, and stopping Umbrella, who were responsible for kickstarting the series in the first place. Being one of the founders of bio counter terrorism also makes him responsible for several heroic actions throughout the series and fuelled the conflicts of Resident Evil 5, Resident Evil 6, Not a Hero, End of Zoe and Resident Evil Village due to the BSAA being heavily involved in the events of all stories.
