Kevin Dooley

Brian Irons
Who? Raccoon City’s Chief of Police who is mired in corruption and sexual as🌳sault allegations🐠.

Robert Kendo
Who? A close friend of the d꧅on of dire dialogue ꦍBarry Burton, Kendo owns a gun store in Raccoon City.
Cause of death: Eaten🍃 by a group of zombies who break into his shop. Do these undead folk 💦have no respect for the concept of private property

Cause of death: Turns into a tyrant after injecting himself with the G-virus. The ‘G’ monster continually morphs throughout Resi 2, the final iteration dieing in a train explosion.
