Official bios for the Resident Evil 6 crew from the official Japanese website

Resident Evil 6 sure is a popular topic today. Of course I know that, I’ve been here reporting on it all day. However, even more new light is shed on the game’s narrative and characters through the official Japanese website, which includes new bios for all of the characters. They’re in Japanese, but we offer a better translation for those who would like to get to know more about the S.T.A.R.S. of Resident Evil 6.

Leon, the man who was able to survive the Racoon City incident, and became an agent of the United States.

Doing a number of dangerous missions, he had gotten to work under the president with direct control of other government agents, and the man who the President has put the most trust into.
Ever since the events of the nightmare in Raccoon City, Leon has held a brooding resentment for bio-terrorism that is particularly strong. When confronted with his old friend Adam, the president, completely changed from the effects of a bio-terrorist attack to nothing more than another monster, he has to make a tough decision.

Helena Harper, the woman who confessed it is her fault that this incident is happening.

Just as Leon, she is a US agent.

During the occasion of the incident, Helena was being transferred to the US Secret Service, while being partially entrusted with securing the president. In contrast with Leon, who is striving to resolve the situation, Helena tearfully confesses that she is the one to blame for it.
It is questionable to where Leon’s “voyage” will end up, after taking into consideration the truth that Helena “possesses”.

Chris Redfield, the commanding officer of the anti-bioterrorism BSAA, is dispatched to China along with his BSAA team members, to rescue an abducted United Nations’ high official from the unprecedented bio-terrorist attack mayhem that has broken out over in Europe. Simultaneously, another large-scale Bio-terrorist attack is carried out in the US during the President’s press speech.

“What exactly have I been running away from?”

Chris wonders to himself whether this tormenting question is that what drives him to face and confront his former self. While soliloquizing his personal tribulation, he arrives to the chaotic Chinese city.

The situation over there has exceeded the worst expectations, with constantly-regenerating bio-organic weapons attacking, ruthlessly and mercilessly, Chris’ comrades. One after the other, Chris’s team members die in front of his eyes. Embracing his burning wrath against the person who induced all of this bio-terrorism chaos, Chris is determined to keep on moving forward even if it costs him his own life.

The situation is without a doubt desperate.
Is there any way to escape from the worst circumstances ever imagined?

Piers Nivans, the young ace of the BSAA.

Similar to Chris Redfield, he is a member of the North American BSSA branch.
As a naturally gifted sniper, it is said he simply cannot miss a target, and exhibits excellent concentration and sharpness. He can not only be characterized as a person with a strong sense of responsibility, but a person with an astute discernment. He is therefore not only considered an invaluable asset during battle, but can also lead and influence his comrades into the correct course of action while in the midst of manifold situations. Regardless of being a pensively diligent soldier, he strikes people as being both extroverted and of unbiased kindness. It are these qualities that makes him a totally trusted comrade of Chris Redfield, there is no doubt to why Chris regards him as the figure who will carry the BSAA on his shoulders one day.

Jake Muller, the man who carries the cursed blood in his veins.

Jake is a mercenary who galloped through the warzone of the republic of Edonia.
Described as a land deep in poverty, where even the most basic nourishment is something unattainable, he lived in a house without a father. To rebel against this unfair fate for him and his mother, he chose the path of a mercenary and to become part of an antigovernment army. Trusting nothing and nobody, having lived with death by his side day after day, Jake’s mind was imprinted with two beliefs; “only rely on one’s own strength and money”. But before him, a woman appears unexpectedly – her name is Sherry Birkin. “You are the one who will save the world,” she says to him. All of a sudden, he is told ludicrous facts by her. Now, his new priority is to take on his responsibility in exchange for the usual pecuniary remuneration, and face the unexpected truth. The alleged truth that in his veins runs the cursed blood of Albert Wesker.

Sherry Birkin, the woman sent off to protect Jake.

Sherry Birkin is the only daughter of the Birkins’ couple, the individuals responsible for the creation of the G-Virus, and subsequently, the Raccoon City Incident in 1998. During the aforesaid incident, Sherry was able to escape from the hell-like city through the help of Leon and Claire, but her father implanted a G embryo inside her body, that resulted in turning her into an “object” of strict surveillance by the US. Several years later, running out of options, Sherry’s only bargaining card out of her captivity was to become an agent for the US. She never wants to be seen as the person she once was, to continue on stuck in the past without any future for her, ever again. Having kept deeply inside her a small hope, Sherry receives her orders now that she has entered the realm of agents. Her mandate is to sneak in the war-zone of the republic of Edonia, situated in Eastern Europe, and ensure the safety of a man, under the name of Jake Muller, who allegedly has been carrying some sort of special bloodtype. One really has to wonder whether the dramatic escape of the dutiful & gentle Sherry along with rebellious & hardened Jake will be able to become a ray of hope against the nightmarish ordeal that they will both encounter.

    woooooooooooooooh cant wait

  • Anon85

    I still want Jill somewhere in the game.

    • Sam Bulle

      Yes, and also Claire… but I don’t Capcom invited them to the party. Still have hope for RE7, cause come on… even if Revelations was great, putting Jill in a nintendo exclusive was a slap in the face to everyone who does not own a 3DS.

      Here’s to both of them returning in a multiplataform game.

      • windice

        they just need to bring all the character together for one final showdown and then after that they should pass there torches to some new people

    • Faceman

      Jill is one of my favorite femme fatales OF ALL TIME. With that being said, it is unlikely that she will appear in this game. Claire on the otherhand might crop up in the story or a cutscene; however, she will not be a playable character

    Does anyone else think that when Chris asked do I know you to Jake that he recognized Steve Burnside?

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Mason-Johnson/552162957 Mason Johnson

      That’s What I was thinking!

    • Bob

      He recognised Wesker, Jake is His son…Killer of Jakes father..awwwwkwaaard

      • Rayek11

        It’s seems more likely to me that Chris would ask such a question if he had the vision of Steve in the back of his head. If he recognized Wesker, he would probably not state it like that. He would just know. I mean, c’mon, Chris is the one who always stood face to face with Wesker.

        I also think there will be other ‘old’ characters on the stage when the game is out (Jill, Claire,…) Capcom shouldn’t give everything away before the game comes out. I like to be surprised.

    • Rayek11

      Yes, it was my first thought. I still believe the Steve Burnside card will be used somehow. At least, i hope so…

  • Tigerspaw16

    I can’t wait to play as Sherry! She’s very Rebecca-esque lol

    I’m hoping Helena, Jake & Piers aren’t just one time use characters ala Carlos, Billy, Sheva.

  • Ccrogers15

    Claire better get HER own game after this. She has not had her OWN game since CV.

  • Mark

    I don’t see the point in adding a new partner for Chris

    I mean wouldn’t you think after the Mansion Inncident that the STARS team would of been together in the BSAA, hell I thought his partner would of been Barry Burton or Jill since Jill has never been fully with Chris for the entire game before. It’s what I thought when I saw Sheva in RE5, funny thing about that if you read the article on here with the RE4.5 Concept art they were going to use Barry.

    What about Leon as well, how about instead of Helena, Rebbeca Chambers became his partner or Claire did.

    Seriously it’s getting ridiculous that Capcom keeping adding new characters when they could use fan favorites that havent been seen for years, especialy Rebbeca Chambers

    Oh and since when has Chris had Brown hair

  • Tigerspaw16

    It’s like Chris gets a new face every game. It’s not consist at all. I’m really over Chris and I really wouldn’t even flinch if he was killed off. But Capcom has a huge boner for him so that will never happen.

    I agree we need to see Barry, Rebecca and Claire back sometime soon and not just as mercenary characters.

  • Prodigy25

    Chris is the man, but to each is own. I wonder will they explain where Jill and Claire are at since all this chaos is going around the world…

  • pepperjim

    Hope Jill, Claire and Barry in this game and i hope chris hasn’t changed too much (after seeing all his men die)

  • Geocom96

    My worry is that Jill might possibly be one of the people who dies in China. I mean think about it. She doesn’t show up as a partner and hasn’t been confirmed in the game at all, despite her being one of the biggest fan favorites and everyone is dying to see her and Chris partnered up again. Plus, it states that Chris watches as all his comrades die in China, and he and (I assume) Jill are both still a part of the BSAA. I really hope that’s not true, but it’s something I worry about.

    Personally, I’d love to see her and Rebecca reappear sometime in the near future as playable characters in a canon game. I’m very excited about Sherry and her return though. She seems like she’s going to be absolutely incredible in this game. From what I’ve read, all of the new characters seem to be very well developed so far and I’m really excited and interested to see what happens with them.

  • Re6

    Am i the only hoping to see ADA again ? She’s very sneaky and would add a good twist to the story line

  • Mmetallica83

    i wonder if you can change your costumes just like all the other resident evils
