History

Chris began his career as a pilot in the Air Force. He spent quite some time there before being kicked out for reasons unknown. There has been much speculation over why he was kicked out, ranging from his temper to disobeying orders. Either way, he soon became a drifter before he was spotted by Barry Burton, who noticed his talent and recruited him for S.T.A.R.S., the Special Tactics and Rescue Squad in Raccoon City.

Chris and Barry completed several missions together over the next three years, Chris quickly rising the ranks of the team and becoming an elite marksman as well as a skilled pilot. New members were soon recruited and the team sent on what would prove to be their last mission together. Sent into the Arclay Mountain region surrounding Raccoon City, the assignment was simple. Locate the missing Bravo team. However it soon became a fight for survival, as the Alpha team were almost instantly attacked by crazed dogs once on the ground and they were forced into a nearby mansion.

It was here that Chris found Rebecca Chambers, a new recruit to the Bravo team, and also the grizzly remains of quite a few other Bravo members. Things were obviously not right in the mansion, as it was not only infested with, to Chris' horror, zombies, but other unholy creatures as well. Not to mention the crazy puzzles and confusing rooms.

After thoroughly investigating the area Chris found himself in some underground labs, and it was here that everything started to unravel. A company named Umbrella, mostly known for making pharmacuticals, were secretly creating Bio Organic Weapons and deadly viruses. Worse, Alpha captain Albert Wesker was actually working for them, and had masterminded the whole ordeal.

Finally giving up his facade, Wesker decided to show Chris Umbrella's ultimate weapon - the Tyrant. A massive, uncontrollable creature that soon showed its true colours by gutting Wesker without a second thought. Chris managed to briefly put it down and give himself time to escape. Elsewhere Rebecca set off the mansion's self destruct sequence, and also finding Jill nearby the remaining team members took off. Not before one last battle with the Tyrant however, and when Brad, pilot for the Alpha team finally returned, he handed Chris some much needed help. A rocket launcher. Blasting the Tyrant into a million pieces the team took off, the mansion exploding underneath them and effectively destroying all evidence of Umbrella's wrong doings.

Upon their arrival back in Raccoon City the remaining S.T.A.R.S. members tried to warn the city of what they had discovered, but no one would believe their crazy stories. Worse, the Chief of Police was in on the whole deal, and did all he could to help discredit them, and generally make life hell for all around them. Chris became obsessive in his quest to bring Umbrella to justice, and soon rediscovered his worst fears - Umbrella were creating a new virus, this time more deadly and unstable than the last.

Deciding to hit Umbrella head on, Chris quit the S.T.A.R.S. and left for Europe, Umbrella's headquarters. He remained there for a few months, eventually meeting up with Barry and Jill from the Alpha team after they finally escaped from Raccoon City as well.

It wasn't long however before Chris' urgent help was needed elsewhere. His sister Claire, who had been searching for him since the mansion incident, discovered that Umbrella had him under surveillance. More urgently however, she needed his help, as she had been captured and was stuck on an island infested with zombies. Claire managed to get her message to Leon, an R.P.D. officer, who used the coordinates to find Chris and pass the message on.

Chris quickly set off to find his sister. Arriving at Rockfort Island he found it nothing but a warzone. The one remaining survivor, Rodrigo, briefly gave him news about Claire before passing away. She had managed to escape the island, but where she had gone, he didn't know. Invesigating the area, Chris was soon reaquainted with an old buddy; Wesker. Now superhuman thanks to a virus he had injected from Umbrella, Wesker quickly set upon beating Chris up, but not before revealing the whereabouts of his sister; Umbrella's Antartic base.

Wesker eventually left Chris to continue on his own mission, and Chris took one of the nearby Harrier Jets, heading for Antartica. Upon arrival Chris found more of the same, but eventually found his sister and they had a long awaited reunion. It was cut short however by the appearance of Alexia Ashford, demonic head of the base. Claire fled to help her friend Steve while Chris remained, having to defeat Alexia before he could move on.

Chris later caught up to Claire, but found her locked behind a security door. Only the self destruct system could open it, so he set it off and they were reunited once again. However, this reunion was also interrupted by Alexia, and in a brutal battle Chris finally finished her off once and for all... only to find himself face to face with Wesker, holding his sister hostage. The two briefly battled, but as the base self destructed around them both decided their fight could wait till next time and took off.

Chris and Claire escaped the base, but their work wasn't over yet. Chris reminded Claire they still had one more thing left to do - bring Umbrella down.

In 2003 Chris and Jill joined a regional biohazard containment unit and had heard rumours that Umbrella had a new base of operations in Russia where they were working on a new B.O.W. Without waiting for authorization from the Russian government, Chris and his team plunged in to shut it down, intent on not letting them get away with anything this time. Jill was hopeful that it was just a rumour whereas Chris was ready to take on anything that Umbrella threw at him.

Upon arrival to the Russian facility they discovered that the B.O.W.s had already made it to the surface and immediately set about securing the base. They finally managed to infiltrate the facility via a vent but nothing prepared them for the number of B.O.W.s that awaited their arrival. The team was pushed to its limits and many of their teammates lost their lives but not wanting their deaths to be in vain, Chris and Jill were determined to see it through.

Eventually they came across a concealed elevator in the floor of the facility which led to a point hundreds of yards beneath the Earth's surface which was designed with the exclusive purpose of mass producing B.O.W.s. The pair quickly deduced that the base was hiding something important as it was obvious from the size of the facility that it wasn't just a warehouse.

Chris was surprised to discover that the security system was active although realised that it meant they were getting close to something important. The two continued to descend deeper and deeper as if plunging into the depths of hell itself, drawing closer to the most powerful threat that they had ever faced.

Chris and Jill found themselves in a huge room which was obviously used for B.O.W. testing. It was there that Sergei Vladimir, the man behind the Russian facility introduced them to Umbrella's latest product line - the T.A.L.O.S. project, the ultimate weapon. T.A.L.O.S. proved to be a tough foe but they were able to find a weakness and shoot it down. Their glory was only short-lived however when the B.O.W. began to mutate and became more powerful than ever. The duo kept it together and eventually managed to finish it off - proving that the T.A.L.O.S. project that Umbrella had placed so much faith in was nothing more than a failure.

After taking control of the facility, Jill and Chris realised that it was only just a question of time before Umbrella would finally crumble once and for all. However, there was still one major obstacle in their way... Wesker...and he was still out there somewhere.
