Kennedy is known to have suffered a traumatic childhood due to his family’s ties to crime. This ultimately led to him being orphaned after his entire family was killed. He survived thanks to the aid of a single police officer, an act that inspired him to become a police officer himself, aiming to protect as many people as possible.[9] Upon graduating from the police academy at the age of 21, Kennedy requested assignment to the Raccoon Police Department as a result of his strong interest in the widely publicized but unsolved bizarre murder cases occurring in and around the Arklay Mountains.[10]

Kennedy had no travel plans or apartment in Raccoon City, and in his hasty departure, he broke up with his girlfriend. Stopping at a motel for the night, he passed out from heavy drinking and woke up on the afternoon of September 29. Now hungover and late, Kennedy continued driving into the city to report to the station.[11] While driving through Arklay County, he passed a highway blockade erected by the United States Army and Army National Guard at night, which had since fallen due to the chaos in the city.[12]

Kennedy drove south into the city but was soon surrounded by zombies while investigating a body in the unusually quiet main road. Retreating into an alleyway, he met Claire Redfield, another newcomer who was fleeing zombies from inside a diner. They commandeered an RPD cruiser and drove to the Raccoon Police Station to seek shelter and answers.[13] Unbeknownst to them, the car had a stowaway zombie that spontaneously attacked while they were driving, causing a crash into a nearby sign and ejecting the attacker. The car was destroyed when a gasoline tanker collided with the vehicle, separating the two who had to travel independently to the station.[13]

However, the station had fallen to zombies. Among the only surviving officers were the injured Lt. Marvin Branagh, Elliot Edward, and Police Chief Brian Irons. Kennedy soon met Lt. Branagh and was briefed on current events before the lieutenant turned into a zombie. During his investigation, Kennedy encountered a young girl named Sherry Birkin and resolved to put aside any thoughts of suicide, knowing his survival was key to her escape.[14]

In the police station’s basement, Kennedy met Ada Wong, a corporate spy from one of Umbrella’s rival companies sent to steal the G-Virus. To protect her mission, Wong claimed to be looking for her missing boyfriend, Dr. John Clemens, unaware the man had perished in the Mansion Incident. She soon became aware of Ben Bertolucci, a freelance journalist who she believed had uncovered useful information about Umbrella while spying on their researchers. Although Bertolucci had uncovered a conspiracy between Umbrella's US branch and the local police that led to his arrest, it was not enough to aid her mission. Bertolucci was soon killed by Dr. William Birkin or a G parasite. Kennedy and Wong continued to the city sewers, where they found transport to NEST, Umbrella's laboratory dedicated to G-Virus research. Kennedy did much of the work in the lab despite his gunshot wound, as Wong’s leg injury prevented her from continuing.

During their exploration, Kennedy learnt of Wong’s true mission when she confronted him seeking the virus. She was soon knocked out by the T-00 but successfully escaped the facility as it began to self-destruct, losing the G-Virus sample in the process. Fleeing to NEST’s bottom platform, Kennedy reunited with Redfield and the young Birkin, who had been infected with the G-Virus but was vaccinated by DEVIL to halt her mutations. The facility was destroyed, and Dr. William Birkin perished shortly after.[15]
