Unraveling the Fates of Resident Evil’s Most Mysterious Characters

by

Summary

  • Billy Coen’s fate is still unknown since Resident Evil 0, leaving fans to speculate about his survival.
  • Sheva Alomar’s whereabouts have been a mystery since Resident Evil 5, with fans questioning whether she’s still with the BSAA.
  • Characters like Jake Muller and the Merchant have uncertain fates, with fans unsure if they are still alive.

The Resident Evil video games are not hesitant to depict characters meeting their end, often in quite graphic ways. However, a character’s demise doesn’t have to be so explicit. Intriguingly, some characters vanish after their respective games, leading players to speculate whether they might reappear in future versions of the game. This uncertainty hinges on whether they’ve been turned into zombies or if they’ve managed to survive despite overwhelming odds.

When a character’s ending is left unclear in a series, this often sparks a wealth of theories and forecasts among the audience. This makes it enjoyable to speculate about what these characters might be doing now, given that most of them were last seen long ago within the storyline. Whether they are dead or alive, some of these Resident Evil characters made quite an impression on the overall narrative, so let’s delve deeper into their backgrounds, disappearances, and if there’s any chance they could still be active today.

8. Billy Coen

After Wandering Off Into Raccoon Forest, Billy May Have Become A Zombie During The Spencer Mansion Incident

Resident Evil 0 serves as a precursor to the initial game, unfolding just prior to its events. This means that players are aware Rebecca will survive and be involved in the Spencer Mansion incident, but the fate of Billy after the game concludes remains uncertain. Unlike Rebecca who appears to head towards the mansion, Billy accidentally stumbles into Raccoon Forest, a place teeming with infected canines.

At the onset of the initial game, S.T.A.R.S team members arrive, only to narrowly evade being systematically hunted down by Cerberus. This sequence of events has sparked speculation among fans that Billy might have perished under such gruesome circumstances. However, it’s essential to note that Capcom has never definitively confirmed this outcome. Given Billy’s proficiency with firearms, there remains a possibility that he managed to survive the ordeal.

7. Sheva Alomar

With The BSAA Seemingly Turning Rogue, What Became Of Sheva Alomar?

In Resident Evil 7 and Village, Capcom hinted that the BSAA counter-terrorism organization, which Chris and Sheva were a part of in the fifth game, isn’t quite as squeaky clean as many assumed it to be. While fans already got to see Chris’ frustrations with the BSAA in the story of Village, Sheva hasn’t been seen since Resident Evil 5, begging the question of what exactly happened to her.

Although Sheva might have remained a member of the BSAA after adapting to their shift in behavior, there’s also speculation that she was dismissed for her opposition towards biological weapons. It would be delightful if she reappeared in subsequent games, as a confrontation between her and Chris could serve as an homage to their escapade in Kijuju. However, at this point, it remains uncertain whether she is still alive.

6. Jake Muller

Jake Always Has A Target On His Back, But Whether He’s Been Able To Evade More Pursuers, Nobody Knows

Jake Muller is a character who made his debut in Resident Evil 6, yet his significance within the broader narrative of the series as Albert Wesker’s son cannot be overstated. In a close call with death, he manages to evade the unyielding hunter called Ustanak. After parting ways with Sherry, if players choose to stay after the credits, they will witness Jake battling waves of B.O.Ws in an unsuspecting village.

Since it initially surfaced, this scene has puzzled fans. While it may seem that Jake is simply carrying on his mercenary life, given the enormous target on his back due to his ancestry, there remains a strong possibility that he was apprehended or worse, perished. As for whether we’ll see Jake again someday, only time will reveal the answer. For now, however, it’s uncertain where this character has gone and what he’s currently doing.

5. Carlos Oliveira

Jill’s Closest Ally During The Raccoon City Outbreak Suddenly Disappeared After The Horrific Incident

To put it simply, Jill wouldn’t have escaped Raccoon City without Carlos’ assistance. Given that he was the one who braved the Raccoon City Hospital to find a cure for her, Jill is deeply indebted to Carlos. It’s quite unfortunate that since the third game, they haven’t had a chance to catch up casually.

Given that Carlos defied Umbrella’s instructions by leaving the city without permission and given their notorious secrecy and harsh tactics, it’s plausible they chose to take action against Carlos when he returned. However, there’s also a chance he could be alive somewhere, but finding him would undoubtedly be quite challenging.

4. Natalia Korda

Natalia’s Unique Powers Would Make Her A Prime Target For Sick And Twisted Scientists

Beneath Natalia’s guise as a harmless young woman lies a reality far more extraordinary: she’s actually a superhuman, affected by the T-Phobos virus. This special condition bestows upon her exceptional talents that are expected to grow even more potent with age. Although she successfully fled with Barry and Moira at the conclusion of Revelations 2, there have been no indications of her whereabouts since, leaving fans to question how secure she actually is.

In games such as those featuring Steve and Jake, individuals who become infected or have distinctive genetics are often pursued relentlessly by characters like Wesker, Umbrella Corporation, or entirely different groups. Furthermore, there’s speculation about whether Alex Wesker’s power might have controlled her actions. Consequently, it remains unclear if Natalia has managed to endure in seclusion following the conclusion of her own game.

3. The Merchant

Did The Merchant Manage To Escape The Island Before The Self-Destructioon Sequence?

Even though the Merchant from the series has been recognized for over 20 years, there remains very little information about his background. He’s easily identified as a hooded man with an unusual collection of weapons and is often seen helping Leon on his quests, but beyond that, his true identity is shrouded in mystery. Some viewers speculate that he could be the grandfather of Luis, given that he navigates the village at incredible speed due to having created an extensive tunnel system beneath it.

Despite his true nature being uncertain, the primary concern is whether this businessman is still alive, given that the island in Resident Evil 4 was destroyed at the end, and since the Merchant frequently appeared there, it’s unclear if he made it out safely or not. Fingers crossed that he did, as it would be delightful to see him reappear someday.

2. Morgan Lansdale

The Insidious Lansdale Was Last Seen Behind Bars At The End Of Revelations

  • From Resident Evil: Revelations

At the conclusion of the Revelations spin-off game, the notorious Morgan Lansdale, who had destroyed an entire city and left the BSAA in disarray, is eventually captured and taken into custody for his crimes. Although a quick reference in the sequel hinted that Lansdale’s former organization, the FBC, was still non-operational at the time (2012), Lansdale himself remained imprisoned.

Bioterror has only become more of an issue since then, as seen through the C-Virus outbreak in 6 and the Baker Family in 7. As a result, whether Lansdale has managed to escape captivity to jump back on the trend, fans may never know, but one thing is for sure: if he were ever to get out, the world would be a much more dangerous place as a result.

1. HUNK

The ‘Grim Reaper’ Hasn’t Been Seen Canonically For Over A Decade In The Timeline

Although HUNK frequently appears as an extra character across various games, particularly in Mercenaries Mode, his canonical appearance has only been since the Raccoon City outbreak in 1998. There is a brief reference to him in Umbrella Corps, set in 2012, hinting that he may have departed from Umbrella and could be operating independently now.

Essentially, fans are left guessing about the whereabouts of this character known as HUNK, who’s nicknamed ‘The Grim Reaper’, due to his penchant for undertaking dangerous missions and miraculously surviving each time. Since he last appeared escaping Raccoon City after a close call with Birkin, there’s speculation that perhaps this mission might have been too much for him or he could still be out there somewhere evading detection.
