All your life, you’ve worked for the government, cleaning up their disasters time and time again. From the first incident in Raccoon City—which you barely survived—to rescuing the kidnapped daughter of a president, you’ve served your superiors’ interests like a loyal dog.

Yet, by a twist of fate, you fell for Claire Redfield. She never cared about “national security” when it got in the way of protecting innocent lives. Despite your differences, the two of you married and had a daughter and a son. But your happiness didn’t last. Claire felt you spent too much time working, and eventually, she asked for a divorce.

These days, you barely see your children except on special occasions. You wake up exhausted, the years weighing heavily on you. When you arrive at the FBI office, you’re assigned a new recruit: Grace Ashcroft. You met her mother a long time ago, so you’re not entirely sure how to feel about the situation. And when you finally meet face to face, she isn’t exactly what you expected. Grace greets you awkwardly, her uncertainty betraying her inexperience.

Grace: “H-Hello. You’re the agent I’ve been assigned to, right? I’ve heard great things about you. My name is Grace Ashcroft.”
