Mikhail Victor

First appearance: Resident Evil 3

Information

Commander of the U.B.C.S. Delta Platoon. Originally from St. Petersburg, Russia, Mikhail rose to the rank of lieutenant in the Red Army, but was forced to resign after the collapse of the U.S.S.R. He then joined his wife's guerilla organization and participated in a number of terrorist actions aimed at liberating various native peoples. Using his impressive leadership abilities, he was highly successful in a number of well-organized actions. But when he was captured along with his men by government troops, he was forced to agree to join the U.B.C.S. in return for a guarantee of safety for his men.

After some time with Umbrella, he was appointed commander of Delta Platoon, leading 30 strong young warriors. There he truly demonstrated his brilliance as a leader. His powerful spirit of defiance and great leadership abilities forged a highly loyal unit and drew out the best qualities in all his subordinates.

As part of the Raccoon City rescue operation, Mikhail and his Delta Platoon were deposited into the center of the city that was swarming with zombies. Unable to resist the overwhelming numbers of zombies, they were soon wiped out. Mikhail was badly wounded. After narrowly managing to flee into a streetcar along with the team leader Nicholai Ginovaef, he met Jill Valentine, S.T.A.R.S. member, and got a chance to escape. Escaping the city by streetcar was their plan of last resort. Jill and Carlos began to work frantically to repair the streetcar. But their work proved to be in vain when Nicholai disappeared and they were attacked by their pursuer, Nemesis T-Type. In a moment of complete desperation, Mikhail chose to blow himself up along with Nemesis to allow Jill and the others to escape.
