History: Jill Valentine is an American Special Operations Agent (SOA) of the Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance, of which she is a co-founder and an original member. She is a respected high-ranking operator, owing to her commitment in eradicating bioterrorism and her survival amid to the Biohazardous outbreaks in Arklay County in 1998. Valentine's father was French, and her mother was of Japanese descent (a "nikkei"). In the early 1990s, Valentine served in the United States Army and got the attention of recruiters for Delta Force, the nation's primary counter-terrorism unit. Although the unit does not enlist women, Valentine was allowed to take part in the six-month intensive Operator Training Course, where she excelled in bomb disposal & lock-picking and was known for her delicate and nimble though precise dexterity, as well as resilience, courage, and discernment amid danger. This experience made Valentine one of the only women in the world with Delta Force training, capable of dismantling even the most intricate explosives in a matter of minutes. During her time in the US Army, she met fellow soldier Forest Speyer who she would later work with more closely. She left the military in pursuit of experiences that made her feel alive, as well as to assuage her sense of justice and intolerance for those who harm innocent people. Some time in 1996, Valentine was recruited by Albert Wesker for the Special Tactics and Rescue Service (S.T.A.R.S.), an elite unit of Raccoon Police Department (RPD) that relied on military veterans and weapons-trained scientists to solve serious crimes in Raccoon City. Despite keeping her special forces training and personal life a secret, she made friends with several S.T.A.R.S. members during this time, including Chris Redfield, with whom she developed a close friendship and partnership, and under whom she often demanded to be trained in marksmanship. By July 1998, Valentine became the only woman to join Captain Wesker's Alpha Team, as the team's B&E specialist, positioned at the rear in maneuvers with S.T.A.R.S. helicopter pilot Brad Vickers. In the Spring and early Summer of 1998, Raccoon City was haunted by the deaths of a number of hikers and suburban families, which involved both vicious dog attacks and group cannibalism. With the Raccoon Police Department at a loss, S.T.A.R.S. was ordered into the Arklay Mountains in search of a suspected hideout. Bravo Team was sent out on the night of 23 July, and contact was subsequently lost. The following day, the Alpha Team was sent out to investigate their disappearance and continue their investigation. Finding the helicopter derelict and its RPD pilot, Kevin Dooley, dead and mutilated, Alpha Team was confronted by a pack of dogs, who then killed Joseph Frost. Valentine, along with Wesker, Chris Redfield and Barry Burton, fled into a nearby mansion, while Vickers, in shock, fled to the helicopter and abandoned the team. Over the course of the night, they independently deduced that the mansion was a cover for a bio-weapons research laboratory under the control of Umbrella U.S.A., S.T.A.R.S.' biggest donor. Wesker was in fact on a mission from Umbrella to retrieve bio-weapons research, then destroy the laboratory and kill the S.T.A.R.S. team to silence witnesses. With Wesker faking his death when activating a renegade bio-weapon-designated "Tyrant", Valentine, Redfield, Burton and Bravo Team's Rebecca Chambers escaped the lab before its destruction on Vickers' helicopter. Once back in Raccoon City, S.T.A.R.S.'s request for a full-scale investigation of Umbrella's activities was denied by their superior, Chief of Police Brian Irons. Their investigation was stalled by Irons' stone-walling and burying of reports, as well as Umbrella's surveillance, severely restricting their activities. With no support from the American government either, Redfield, Burton, and Valentine traveled to Europe to investigate Umbrella by themselves. Redfield went ahead alone to Europe in late August, while Burton relocated his family to Canada. Valentine left the city under the pretense of leaving, but to shake off Umbrella's surveillance and traitors within the police force, she secretly returned to Raccoon City in hiding to investigate the Umbrella's underground facility before joining her comrades afterward. This was slow-going; however, two months after the mansion incident, the investigation was ruined when Raccoon City's water supply was contaminated with t-Virus, causing thousands to mutate into zombies. Umbrella took full advantage of the situation and sent in experimental B.O.W.s to test on the survivors. Among these was the Nemesis-T Type, a T-103 Tyrant parasitized by a Nemesis Alpha parasite. This creature, also dubbed "the Pursuer", was sent into the city specifically to track down and eliminate all S.T.A.R.S. members. Valentine was trapped in her apartment until 27 or 28 September, contemplating suicide. Changing her mind, Valentine fled through the streets of Raccoon City. She found Vickers injured by zombies at the Black Jack Bar. He died soon after, when the Pursuer tracked him down to the Police Station entrance. In the S.T.A.R.S. Office, she intercepted a Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service radio signal from Cpl. Oliveira, and abandoned the police station to investigate, eventually meeting him. Over the course if the night of the 28th, Valentine worked with three UBCS members – Cpt. Mikhail Viktor, Sgt. Nikolai Zinoviev and Cpl. Oliveira. The Pursuer attacked the tram, and Viktor sacrificed himself with a grenade in an attempt to destroy it. Valentine and Oliveira made it out of the wreckage, but the Pursuer stalked Valentine throughout the tower as she tried to ring its bell as a signal. The creature then destroyed the UBCS helicopter to deny her escape. In another fight with the creature, Valentine was infected with a t-Virus strain unique to the Nemesis parasites. While searching through Raccoon Park, Valentine was confronted by Zinoviev, who's survival had been deliberately kept secret to her. He revealed that Umbrella was using the outbreak to test the effectiveness of the B.O.W.s, and so Valentine escaped to Incineration Disposal Plant P-12A, a dedicated treatment plant for infected biomatter, where she discovered that the city would be destroyed. There, she fought the Nemesis again, now severely disfigured after exposure to antiviral chemicals in the disposal plant. She then activated an experimental rail cannon developed by the Delta Force; the creature was weakened further by Valentine, and left for dead after several shots from a Magnum. While at the disposal treatment plant, Valentine found that Zinoviev had stolen an on-site helicopter while another was en route to the city, searching for her on the radio. After finally destroying Nemesis, Valentine then escaped the city with Oliveira, and discovered the man looking for her was Burton. Following the destruction of Raccoon City, Valentine continued to support Redfield in fighting Umbrella. By 2003, they had joined a private anti-biohazard service. In 2006, the BSAA received intelligence revealing the location of Oswell E. Spencer. Spencer was the CEO of Umbrella Pharmaceuticals and had gone underground to hide from a global manhunt led by the US and Russian governments. Valentine and Redfield were assigned to raid the Spencer Estate and arrest him, hoping he would have information useful in the separate manhunt for Albert Wesker. Returning to the castle above, the two gained entry into the library, finding Spencer dead, having been murdered by Wesker. The two agents fought him, though he held the upper hand due to his superhuman abilities. Believing Redfield close to death, Valentine charged at Wesker, throwing him and herself out the library window and down a cliff. BSAA reinforcements conducted a thorough search of the area, but found no sign of Valentine or Wesker, and on November 23, 2006, they were both declared dead in absentia. Valentine's name was listed on the BSAA's List of Martyrs, a record of fallen soldiers. Though badly injured by the fall down the cliff, Valentine was kept alive by Wesker, kept in a comatose condition at Tricell Inc., Africa's top-secret B.O.W. research outpost near Kijuju. Following his own experiences with talking to Spencer, Wesker began work on the Uroboros Project, a doomsday project which he believed would force evolution on the survivors via a Progenitor strain dubbed "Uroboros". The prototype version of Uroboros was fatal to all the infected, making it impractical for use. Nonetheless, Valentine was slated in Wesker's vengeful plan to be the very first test subject of the completed Uroboros in the future. During the preliminary examination of her body, it was discovered that the vaccination she received in 1998 for her t-Virus infection had not totally immunised her. A mutant strain of the virus had in fact laid dormant in her body for the past eight years, and had activated during her time in a coma. Valentine's body quickly fought off the mutant virus and created new highly pure antibodies. Now under Wesker's control, Valentine was informally added to the emerging partnership between Wesker, Excella Gionne and Ricardo Irving. To buy time for Gionne, Wesker and Valentine began fighting the two BSAA agents relentlessly pursuing them across the palace. After seven minutes, Wesker ran out of time, and caught up with Gionne, leaving Valentine behind to deal with them. Realizing the device on her chest was affecting her behavior, the two forced Valentine to the ground and ripped it out. Still weak from the fighting, Valentine stayed behind and urged the two to continue on. After passing out, Valentine was found by Stone, who had separated from Redfield and Alomar to radio BSAA HQ. Valentine helped pick up Redfield and Alomar, who were fighting Wesker, himself mutated from Uroboros infection. Supplying the two with RPG-7s, they succeeded in killing the bio-weapons developer. After returning from Africa, Valentine was taken into a BSAA lab to undergo various tests due to her long-time viral exposure and drug overdoses. It was revealed that the side effects of the t-Virus affected the cell division in her body, which suppressed her physical deterioration but left her with psychological aftereffects. Valentine e-mailed Burton about her boredom from the tests, saying that she was eager to get back out into the field once her rehabilitation was completed. She also gave him some advice on how to make peace with his older daughter Moira and hoped to receive a return party in style. Posteriorly,[citation needed] she and Redfield asked Burton to join BSAA, which he eventually accepted. After a long period of observation and rehabilitation, she resumed her career. Six years after Kijuju Autonomous Zone Incident, Valentine completed her rehabilitation and returned to the field, however, still suffering from the psychological after-effects from the P30 drugs and maintaining the heavy guilt during her time under Wesker. Valentine started to develop the desire to atone for her actions and expressed it through reckless actions, much to Redfield's concern who had noticed her changed behavior. In San Francisco, California, there had been reports of victims becoming mysteriously infected with no means of transmission and attacking others who quickly succumbed to their injuries instead of reanimation. Valentine retreated to the shooting range where Redfield wanted to remove her from the case due to his growing concerns but she firmly declined the notion. Valentine recounted her years under Wesker's control and compared it to a living nightmare. As the War on Terror continued, Redfield warned her not to let the numbness reach her soul lest she lost herself in the fight but Valentine looked at the present mission - innocent people were being made to kill as she once had been, and wanted whoever was responsible to be taken to justice and could not allow to think for herself. Before Redfield could elaborate, she resumed her activity. In the BSAA laboratory, Valentine and Redfield meet Claire Redfield who had been conducting her own investigation into the orca carcass that washed ashore on the beach and BSAA advisor Rebecca Chambers to discuss their findings. Claire discovered the chipped orca had been swimming around Greater Farallones National Marine Sanctuary, where several whales had disappeared near the vicinity of Alcatraz Island. Finding their next lead, Valentine and the Redfields ventured to the site while Chambers remained behind to create vaccines to counter the new strain. At Alcatraz, they were monitored by the mastermind behind San Francisco Serial Murders. The tourists were quickly turned and attacked others much to their confusion. The three tried to save the remaining tourists with Valentine attempting to save a prison guard who fall into the sewage tunnel. However, their efforts were futile as they were left as sole survivors. Valentine explored the sewers where she is ambushed by Leon Scott Kennedy, whose mission had led him there. The masterminds revealed themselves to be former mercenary Dylan Blake and María Gómez, with the former revealing his intention to punish corporations, organizations, and agencies that benefitted from bioterrorism, including DSO, BSAA, and Terrasave, without working towards ending bio-terror. He plotted to release drones, carrying doses of t-virus across the world and leaving him to control which individuals to become infected and clean the world's slate. Valentine went after Blake to try and stop the drones release. Outside the armory, she confronted Blake who proclaimed his intention and his desire for atonement of his actions before infecting himself and fusing with Megalodon, emerging as a giant monster. After Chambers cured the group of their affliction, they reconvened with Valentine and faced off against the beast. Blake intended to escape through the open waters but Valentine distracted long enough for Redfield and Kennedy to assemble the rocket launcher. As they finish, Valentine called out Blake for his inability to deal with his guilt, which triggered the creature, and dove into the waters where she strapped the bag of grenades in its mouth, but was temporarily strangled by the straps. Kennedy and Redfield fire the weapon onto the chains, pinning the creature by the neck. Valentine set off the grenades and dealt the killing blow, and the group celebrated their successful efforts. Outside, the group reminisced about their time before reinforcements arrive and evacuate the survivors off the premise with Redfield happy her old self is back to which she shared the same sentiment.
