Chris Redfield is one of the central protagonists in the Resident Evil franchise, developed by Capcom. He first appeared in the original Resident Evil game in 1996 and has remained a prominent figure throughout the series. Initially a member of the Special Tactics and Rescue Service (S.T.A.R.S.) and part of its Alpha Team, Chris becomes one of the franchise’s most iconic characters.

Chris was born in 1973, and his military background began with service in the United States Air Force. However, he was discharged for insubordination due to conflicts with his superiors, despite his talent and dedication. After leaving the Air Force, he was recruited into S.T.A.R.S., where he became a skilled marksman and a field operative.

Chris’s involvement in the series begins with the investigation of bizarre murders and bio-organic weapon (B.O.W.) outbreaks tied to the sinister Umbrella Corporation. His journey spans multiple games, where he fights bioterrorism on a global scale, evolving from a soldier to a leader in organizations like the BSAA (Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance).
