Resident Evil 5/Characters

Chris Redfield
One of the "Original Eleven" founding members of the BSAA, Chris is a former S.T.A.R.S operative with ten years' experience fighting bioweapons. Following a recent confrontation with Albert Wesker at the Spencer Estate, Chris' partner Jill Valentine was apparently killed, which Chris feels partly responsible for.

He has just been reassigned to investigate a terrorist weapons deal in Africa, where he will meet his new partner Sheva Alomar for the first time.

Sheva Alomar
When her parents were killed by an Umbrella experiment at the plant they worked in, Sheva ended up living with a group of mercenaries. When she went into town one day for supplies, she was contacted by the authorities, who told her that her group were involved in a biological weapons deal. Sheva agreed to help stop the deal, and in return the BSAA funded her education in America.

She has just been assigned as Chris Redfields new partner.

Majini
Swahili for "evil spirit", the Majini are ordinary people infected with a weaponized parasitic organism called Las Plagas.

Uroburos
A rumoured bioweapons project to end the world.

The weapons dealer who is selling bioweapons to local factions in Kijuju.

The head of the Tricell pharmaceutical company's African division.

Albert Wesker
A former Umbrella researcher, Wesker founded the S.T.A.R.S. special ops team in the Raccoon City police department to test the combat abilities of bio-organic weapons developed by Umbrella. Since his disappearance following the events at the Spencer Mansion, Wesker has been working on his own plans of global domination, with bioweapons as his preferred method.
