Template:Resident Evil characters navbox Fictional characters in the survival horror video game Resident Evil 3: Nemesis.

Jill Valentine

Carlos Oliveira

Nicholai Ginovaef

Nicholai Ginovaef (voiced by Roger Honeywell) is a member of the UBCS Delta platoon, Company B. According to his back story, Nicholai is from Moscow and served in Spetsnaz before joining the UBCS. He also has an unspoken rivalry with HUNK (from Resident Evil 2). Nicholai meets Jill as one of the few surviving operatives from the Delta platoon, along with Carlos and Mikhail. He disappears after an event in the first half of the game and is presumed dead until another encounter with him. Nicholai is in fact one of the Supervisors, UBCS operatives assigned to watch and gather combat data as their comrades fight against Umbrella's bio-weapons. Nicholai's fate varies depending on which route the player takes. In one scene, he is slaughtered by the Nemesis and his corpse is left hanging in an air duct. Another possible outcome shows Nicholai stealing Jill's intended escape helicopter. At this point, the player has the option of attempting to negotiate with him, in which he escapes from the city successfully, or choose to fight back against Nicholai, destroying his chopper along with him.

The English localization of Resident Evil Survivor feature a document supposedly authored by Nicholai after the events of Nemesis. The file is different in the original Japanese version and the Chinese localization of the PC port. The third entry of the document (the portion dated after the events of Nemesis) was actually authored by the "Umbrella BOW R&D Team", rather than Nicholai.

Nicholai also appears in Resident Evil Outbreak in the final scenario "Decisions, Decisions" which depicts the character conducting another mission occurring during the same time period as the second half of Resident Evil 3. He is mentioned in Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles, where he is referred to by the codename "Silver Fox".

The character was adapted for the film Resident Evil: Apocalypse (in which he was played by Zack Ward), although the film features a more heroic depiction of Nicholai, which differs greatly from the game's original antagonistic portrayal. The film's official novelization renamed him Nicholai Sokolov.

Mikhail Victor

Mikhail Victor (voiced by Ben Campbell) is the leader of the UBCS Delta platoon that both Nicholai and Carlos are part of. According to his backstory, Mikhail is from Saint Petersburg, Russia. He originally served the Red Army before joining his wife's guerilla force and participating in race liberation wars in neighboring countries until he was eventually arrested by the Russian Army and convicted of acts of terrorism. He was then coerced into leading the UBCS in exchange for his men's freedom. In the game, he first appears already wounded inside a cable car. Despite his serious injuries, he refuses to rest, as evident in an optional cut scene in which he gets out of the cable car to fight a few zombies. Ultimately, he chose to sacrifice his own life to save Jill and Carlos. He dies in the game when he is blown apart by his own grenade in a failed attempt to destroy the Nemesis.

In an early draft of the story, Mikhail was originally scripted to be Nicholai's older brother (hence, his original name was Mikhail Ginovaef). Mikhail's heroic and selfless attitude serves as a contrast to Nicholai's greediness and cold behaviour.

He is the only one of the main UBCS operatives not to appear in the film Resident Evil: Apocalypse, being replaced by an original character named Yuri Loginova.

Tyrell Patrick

Tyrell Patrick (voiced by Peter Windrem) is a UBCS operative belonging to Bravo platoon, Company A. Like Nicholai, he is one of the Supervisors assigned by Umbrella to gather battle data. According to his backstory, he is originally from Suriname and served the French Foreign Legion, before he was apprehended by military authorities in the Netherlands for selling arms on the black market. As Carlos, the player will encounter Tyrell in one of two different locations in Raccoon Hospital and his death is played out differently each scene. If the player meets Tyrell in the basement of the hospital, he dies trying to open a safe boobytrapped with explosives. However, if the player chose to explore the second floor first, Carlos will encounter Nicholai cornering a wounded Tyrell. Tyrell blows himself up with a grenade, but Nicholai escapes by jumping through the window.

Murphy Seeker

Murphy Seeker (voiced by Richard Clarkin) is a member of the UBCS Alpha platoon, Company A. According to his backstory, before being forced to join the UBCS, Murphy was formerly a United States Marine Corps sniper who was later convicted of killing members of a street gang said to be responsible for the death of his brother. The player encounters an injured Murphy in the Umbrella's sales office and the way his death is played out changes depending on how the player handled their previous battle with Nemesis. In one version of the scene, succumbing to the T-Virus, Murphy urges Carlos to kill him, in which Carlos reluctantly complies. In another version, Nicholai shoots him, even though he can be heard pleading for his life.

Dario Rosso

Dario Rosso (voiced by Tony Rosato) is a Raccoon City citizen whom Jill encounters in a warehouse at the very beginning of the game. Having lost his daughter during the zombie outbreak, he locks himself in a container, refusing Jill's offer to aid him and stating that he would rather die from starvation then face the monsters. When Jill returns she finds he has died trying to escape from the warehouse, being eaten by zombies. His diary is featured in the Nintendo 64 version of Resident Evil 2 as an "EX File". Both Dario and his daughter Lucia appears as hostages to be rescued in the "Operation: Mad Jackal" minigame.

Barry Burton

Nemesis

Nemesis is a biologically engineered creature created by the Umbrella Corporation and appeared as the title character for Resident Evil 3: Nemesis.

Nemesis first appeared in Resident Evil 3, as the game's title character and primary antagonist. The product of years of research, the Umbrella Corporation deploys Nemesis to hunt and kill all surviving members of the STARS. The game’s protagonist, Jill Valentine, encounters Nemesis outside Raccoon City’s police station, where it kills Brad Vickers. Nemesis continues to stalk Valentine throughout the game until she defeats it. Nemesis is also in Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles.

Nemesis appeared in the 2004 theatrical adaption of the game, Resident Evil: Apocalypse, where it was portrayed by Matthew G. Taylor. While the film's creators used a different storyline, Nemesis still brandished its trademark rocket launcher and trench coat. Palisades Toys used his likeness to create an action figure, which was released alongside with several other Resident Evil characters and enemies. Furthermore, Nemesis was featured in the 2005 Christmas edition of VG Cats, a popular webcomic. The creature was also recognized by GamePro, who ranked Nemesis 29th on their "47 Most Diabolical Video-Game Villains of All Time" list. He is ranked fourth on EGM’s Top Ten Badass Undead.
