Chris RedfieldFan Fiction (Resident Evil)

Chris Redfield is a character in the Resident Evil series. He was introduced as one of the two playable protagonists in the original game, alongside Jill Valentine, as a member of the Raccoon Police Department's S.T.A.R.S. unit. Together with Jill, he fights against the Umbrella Corporation, a company whose bioweapons create zombies and other threats. As the story progresses, he and Jill become founding members of the United Nations' Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance (BSAA), and he serves as the protagonist across numerous entries in the franchise.

His appeal lies in his consistent role as an active, frontline protagonist throughout the series' long history. Standing against the massive threat of Umbrella and later taking part in founding an international organization like the BSAA establishes him as a figure representing the series as a whole rather than a one-off character. His presence as the lead across not only games but also novels and films further underscores his significance as a central character of the franchise.
