List of Resident Evil film characters

Alice
Alice or "Project Alice" (played by Milla Jovovich) is the main protagonist of the Resident Evil film series. Originally an agent of the Umbrella Corporation tasked with guarding the entrance to the Hive in Raccoon City, she turned against them after the T-Virus was let loose by the greed of her partner. Upon her return from the Hive, she was injected with the virus, and as the only known human being she bonded successfully with it. The virus enhanced her physical and mental capabilities - strength, speed, agility, and for a time telekinetic abilities - to superhuman levels. As a result, she has become both the ultimate enemy of Umbrella and the means of salvation to the world.

K-Mart
K-Mart (played by Spencer Locke) is a young woman in Claire Redfield's convoy. In Resident Evil: Extinction, K-Mart explains that she changed her name after Claire and the others had found her in a Kmart store. She states she did not like her name and decided to change it because all those she knew from before the outbreak were dead. In the novel, her name is revealed, by Carlos and confirmed by K-Mart, to be Dahlia. During the events of the film, K-Mart is shown riding in the vehicle with Claire, whom Locke says she has a big sister relationship with. K-Mart is also close with Carlos Olivera (in the novelization and in the film's deleted scene, it is stated she has a crush on him) and Mikey as she is clearly distraught at both of their deaths. K-Mart bonds with Alice as well, giving her a bracelet and in the beginning of the film, explaining her name. Locke describes this as more of a mother-daughter relationship and that K-Mart "definitely look[s] up to Alice in this movie a lot." K-Mart survives through most of the film by hiding in the vehicles, although she does kill a few zombies. In a zombie attack, she is nearly killed by L.J. who has turned into a zombie himself, but is saved by Carlos. At the end, she is one of the few who survive long enough to depart in a helicopter piloted by Claire on the way to Alaska. In Resident Evil: Afterlife, K-Mart has been captured by the Umbrella Corporation as part of its Arcadia trap where she has been captured to be experimented upon. She is rescued by Alice, Claire and Chris Redfield, but is at first too out of it to do anything. After recovering, she aids Alice in battle, knocking out Bennett and tossing Alice her shotgun, allowing Alice to (temporarily) defeat Wesker with a shot to the head. K-Mart later stands on deck with the other survivors and watches as the Umbrella Corporation choppers appear.

Red Queen and White Queen


The Red Queen (played by Michaela Dicker) and White Queen (played by Madeline Carroll) are characters of the Resident Evil film series. They are both state-of-the-art holographic representations of artificial intelligence supercomputers serving to protect different facilities of the Umbrella Corporation. Both AI names are referencing major characters from the novel Through the Looking-Glass, with the decidedly more deadly Hive AI representing the antagonistic Red Queen, and the more helpful AI that appears in Resident Evil: Extinction representing the protagonistic White Queen.

The Red Queen was created by the director Paul W. S. Anderson as an homage to 2001: A Space Odyssey's HAL 9000. The Red Queen's name itself is a reference to the Red Queen principle while her holographic avatar was modeled after Angela Ashford, daughter of Dr. Charles Ashford, the head programmer. She was designed to monitor the underground Hive laboratory complex, her system also expanding through the Spencer Mansion. In the film, the Red Queen activated her primary and secondary defenses when she detected a sudden leak of the T-virus, responding by sealing the Hive entrances and locking in all of the Umbrella researchers, then eradicating them, and releasing a gas in the mansion above that leaves Alice unconscious and without memory. When a U.B.C.S. commando team sent by Umbrella arrives at the Hive to investigate, the Red Queen detects their approach and her defense systems go online once again, killing most of the team members. Alice and the survivors disable her main circuit breakers in order to prevent her from rebooting. After being threatened by the team, the Red Queen is forced to show the team a way out of the Hive. The Red Queen isn't heard from again until later in the film, when the only remaining survivors are trapped in a locked laboratory and she demands the infected Rain to be killed. The Red Queen is then permanently disabled by Kaplan when she refuses to open the door and let them out; the lines that the Red Queen spoke when Kaplan tried to disable her were played in "Kill Yourself", a rap song made by rapper Timbaland. The Red Queen had not appeared in the Resident Evil video games previously, but in 2007 she appeared in Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles voiced by Tara Platt. Her character appears as a database computer which provides information relating to the Arklay Incident and T-virus development. In the game's chapter "The Umbrella's End", the T-A.L.O.S. (Tyrant Armored Lethal Organic System) was monitored and controlled by the Red Queen, which "is the code name for the AI defense system developed by Umbrella", with an unrestricted access to the entire Umbrella network. It is self-aware and can take these measures based on its own judgment. At the end of the game, Wesker manages to procure all the data the Red Queen possessed for himself, and has it permanently erase itself and deactivate.

In Resident Evil: Extinction, Alice encounters another holographic AI computer called the White Queen. The White Queen is also modeled after a young girl, but it is never mentioned if the appearance is based on another character. The White Queen is a later version of the Red Queen that holds a counterpart position for the Umbrella facility in Las Vegas, Nevada. Unlike The Red Queen, The White Queen has further advanced holographic technology and has a more convincing appearance of a child in comparison to the semi-translucent Red Queen hologram. The White Queen helps Alice, saying that, like the original Red Queen, her purpose is to protect human life. She however defends the actions of the Red Queen, citing that the Red Queen had done what was necessary at the time. The White Queen reveals to Alice the cure for the T-virus and offers to help her create it, but Alice must first kill Dr. Isaacs. The White Queen was originally planned to appear in Resident Evil, however, she was cut from the final screenplay. In the screenplay, her character was brought online by Umbrella to shut down the Red Queen after residents of the Hive were gassed to death.
