Chris Redfield [ a] is a character in Resident Evil (Biohazard in Japan), a survival horror series created by the Japanese company Capcom . He was introduced as one of the two playable characters of the original Resident Evil (1996), alongside his partner Jill Valentine , as a member of the Raccoon Police Department 's Special Tactics and Rescue Service (S.T.A.R.S.) unit. Chris and Jill fight against the Umbrella Corporation , a pharmaceutical company whose bioterrorism creates zombies and other bio-organic weapons . Later, the pair became founding members of the United Nations ' Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance (BSAA).
Chris is the protagonist in several Resident Evil games, novels, and films, and has also appeared in other game franchises, including Marvel vs. Capcom , Project X Zone , and Dead by Daylight . In later games, such as Resident Evil 7 (2017) and Resident Evil: Village (2021), his features were based on New Zealand model Geordie Dandy. Several actors have portrayed Chris, including Wentworth Miller and Robbie Amell in the Resident Evil live-action films .
Critics have been polarized in their critiques of the character, with a focus on the frequent modifications and inconsistency in his design. Several publications have referred to Chris as one of the sexiest video game characters. Some critics have referred to a scene of his punching a boulder in Resident Evil 5 (2009), which became an internet meme , as one of the most memorable within the Resident Evil series.
