Brad Vickers

First appearance: Resident Evil 1

Information

Member of S.T.A.R.S. Alpha Team. Position RS (Rear Security). He's in charge of chemical protection for the team and also acts as a helicopter pilot.

Although Brad was acting as pilot on a mission to recover Bravo Team during the Mansion Incident, he fled like a coward when danger reared its head, leaving his companions to their gruesome fate. After the Alpha Team escaped to the mansion, he made contact with them again, perhaps tortured by his conscience. By maintaining close communication with Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine, he managed to escape to the Arklay Laboratory before the bombing occurred. Afterwards, he succeeded in rescuing Chris, Jill, Barry Burton, and Rebecca Chambers and bringing them back to headquarters.

After returning to Raccoon City, Brad kept his distance from the members who were pursuing Umbrella. He figured it was better not to take any unnecessary risks. Having not yet been exposed directly to any of the preceding events, he had no desire to enter harm's way. But almost as if a punishment from God for averting his eyes from reality, he was assaulted by the worst kind of terror. As a result of the biological accident, Raccoon City, where he thought he would be safe, was destroyed.

In the midst of with this zombie infested town, Brad simply panicked. He met Jill once more, but all he could do was cry unintelligibly, and he made no offer of assistance. He had lost all of the pride and discipline of a S.T.A.R.S. member, and all he could do was flee from his pursuer, Nemesis Type-T. But in the end, he ran out of places to hide, and was caught and finally killed by his pursuer. In an ironic twist, he became a zombie and wandered around the police station aimlessly...
