BACKSTORY: Claire grew up with her older brother Chris after their parents died; with this event, the two developed a very close bond. When Chris joined the U.S. Air Force, she was introduced to his new friend, Barry Burton, and he became a close family friend. After high school, Claire attended university, where she developed her interest in motorcycle customisation, owning two motorcycles herself. Claire also specialized in lockpicking, becoming an expert with skill. After Chris moved to Raccoon City with Burton to serve in Special Tactics and Rescue Service (S.T.A.R.S.), Claire would occasionally visit her brother to learn hand-to-hand combat and firearms training. He also gave Claire a golden lighter and his S.T.A.R.S. knife.

In August 1998, Chris left for Europe to investigate Umbrella. After weeks of not hearing from her brother, Claire left her college in late September for Raccoon City to find out where he was. She stopped at a diner in the northern parts of the city, having not noticed the violence in the city, and was confronted by the murderous chef. Upon leaving she was saved by Leon S. Kennedy, who decided they drive to the police station for safety. While approaching the station, they were separated by a fiery accident, and fought their way out to it. Leon and Claire soon discovered the station had collapsed due to the outbreak of the t-Virus, being that the only unzombified police officers were the injured Lt. Marvin Branagh, Elliot Edward, and Police Chief Brian Irons.

It is uncertain if Claire met anyone in the station, but Claire did find Sherry Birkin, the daughter of William and Annette Birkin. They later crossed paths with a psychopathic Chief Irons, who was killed either by William himself or a G-embryo.

As the two made their way into the sewers, Sherry was separated and was parasitised by a G-embryo. After a meeting with Annette, Claire received instructions on how to provide a treatment to her condition, and went with her to the Birkins' underground laboratory complex.

Fighting mutants throughout the lab, Claire obtained a vaccine to stop Sherry from mutating into "G". When the facility's self-destruct system was activated, Claire and Sherry escaped on a train with Leon. "G" survived the final battle with Claire and attacked the train during the ride. Working together, the three were able to bring the train to a halt and escape the cabin as it was engulfed in flames.

Leon promised to take care of Sherry and urged Claire to continue her search for Chris, with Claire acceptingFollowing on from her experiences in Raccoon City, Claire went out in search for her brother. Believing him to be at Umbrella Europe's Paris Laboratory, she infiltrated it in December and was captured by the facility's security forces. Taken to Rockfort Island by Rodrigo Juan Raval, Claire's arrival coincided with a sabotage operation conducted by HCF, a paramilitary group under the command of Albert Wesker. The saboteurs succeeded in releasing the t-Virus and B.O.W.s across the island, and Umbrella's local paramilitary forces were wiped out. Feeling sorry for her, Raval released Claire from her cell, though believed she would eventually die anyway.

On the surface she met Steve Burnside, a seventeen year old who was interned following his father's betrayal of Umbrella for selling company secrets on the black market. The two searched for an airport to escape the island, but were repeatedly hampered by Alfred Ashford, 7th Earl Ashford, the island's commander, who believed Redfield to be linked to the saboteurs. Before they found a plane, Claire was able to get in contact with Leon via a computer; Leon, who had gained employment within the U.S. government's covert Anti-Umbrella Pursuit and Investigation Team, got in contact with Chris and sent him her location.

Escaping to the Antarctic, Claire and Steve discovered Umbrella's Antarctic Base had fallen to a t-Virus outbreak brought there by the retreating Rockfort personnel. During their search of the facility, they found it was located several miles from an Australian polar observation base, and made plans to take control of a truck to drive there. The two ran into Alfred, who had followed them, but in their fight with him he was shot and fell off a ledge, where he was able to awaken his sister, Alexia, who had acclimated to mutation from t-Veronica infection through cryogenic stasis. After an encounter with the Nosferatu, Claire and Steve found the truck and drove off. They were soon after set upon by plant-like tentacles, which knocked the truck over, and the two were dragged back to the base as Alexia's prisoners.

Claire awoke to find Chris, who had tracked her to Antarctica from Rockfort Island. Faced with the new threat of Alexia, and the arrival of Wesker, Claire hurried to find Steve, who had been taken for t-Veronica research. Steve mutated into a large creature after she found him, but his refusal to kill her led to his death at the hands of Alexia's pods. When her brother activated the facility's self-destruct system, she was taken captive by Wesker as a hostage after his men had confiscated Steve's corpse for their own testing. Her freedom was bought when her brother led him into a fight, giving her time to prepare a Harrier jet for take-off. Chris arrived mere seconds ahead of the explosion, but they were able to escape unharmed.

Following the incident, Claire began visiting Sherry during her house arrest while in U.S. government custody with unrestricted visitation rights permitted by her legal guardian Derek C. Simmons, even though Birkin's existence was top secret. However, Redfield distrusted Simmons believing him to be scheming for nefarious purposes, which made her send a letter to Sherry to warn her about him, yet, she never received it. In general, Redfield had significant influence on Birkin's personality as she inherited her tolerance and maternal nature with a strong heart and beliefs.

In the years following the incident at the Antarctic Base, Claire became associated with TerraSave, an NGO organisation which offered aid to victims of bioterrorism, which became a global threat following the collapse of Umbrella. In 2005, TerraSave set its eyes on WP Corporation, an American pharmaceutical company that reached headlines following its connection to a t-Virus outbreak in India. The incident was in fact a bioterrorist attack, which the WP Corporation provided a t-Vaccine to combat. The terror attack was covered up, but footage of the WP Corporation's treatment was leaked, giving the inaccurate perception they were performing inhuman human testing. Redfield traveled to Harvardville, the company's home town, as part of an organised protest aimed at Senator Ron Davis, a Harvardville native who was known to invest heavily in the company.

Redfield and another protester were arrested by airport security, which coincided with a coordinated terrorist attack infecting people within the airport as well as on an inbound plane. The resulting spread of t-Virus led to the airport being placed under lockdown by the 75th Ranger Regiment, and a plane crash destroying much of the airport terminal. Redfield and several other survivors, including Senator Davis and Rani Chawla, a young child in the care of TerraSave, took shelter within a VIP lounge and made phone calls to the outside world. Later that night, Kennedy and two members of SRT entered the airport via the roof in a mission to rescue the group ahead of a Ranger assault on the terminal. Redfield provided the name of a suspect behind the attack, Dr. Curtis Miller, whom she had briefly seen during the initial Zombie attack. Dr. Miller had previously worked for the WP Corporation and TerraSave, but had been ousted from both groups.

After being let outside, Redfield met Dr. Frederic Downing, a senior researcher for the WP Corporation, who revealed to her the cover-up in India. When a WP Corporation truck carrying vaccine samples was sabotaged, Redfield traveled with Dr. Downing as a guest to the local laboratory complex while he had reserve vaccine samples prepared.

In the laboratory, Redfield learned from Dr. Downing they had acquired samples of the G-Virus on the black market and, from a phone call between Downing and Senator Davis, came to the conclusion Davis was somehow involved in the terrorist attacks. Downing left her alone to check out a disturbance downstairs, which was revealed to be Dr. Miller attacking the complex; Downing telephoned her to warn of the attack, but was cut off. After infecting himself with the G-Virus, Dr. Miller fought a Ranger squad sent in to capture him. The ensuing fight with them and Kennedy destroyed much of the complex, but Redfield escaped with a minor injury.

In the minutes immediately following the fight, Redfield discovered all footage had been recorded and streamed to a third party. Piecing together distortions with Downing's phone call, Redfield and Kennedy realised Downing orchestrated the attack, and had faked his death in Miller's attack to escape with G-Virus and t-Vaccine samples for a black market deal with a foreign general Kennedy's agency had already arrested. Downing himself was revealed to have been an Umbrella researcher, who had stolen the G-Virus from NEST, and had changed his name and gained employment within the WP Corporation. To prosper from bioterrorism, Downing masterminded the attacks in India so proof of the vaccine's effectiveness could be determined, and radicalized Dr. Miller to continue the work in the United States to hide his own involvement. Thanks to the work of Redfield and Kennedy, the G-Virus was denied to the Bajiri military.

In 2006, six years later, the Penamstan Civil War has come to an end with the insurgents laying down their arms. Much of the country is in ruins, and refugees are reliant on the UN and TerraSave to provide food and shelter. Redfield ventures into the city to inspect one of the camps and meets a young boy, paraplegic and mute. He provides Claire with a drawing of what he saw in 2000 – masses of people eating one another. She is disturbed by the image, and recognizes it as evidence of the use of t-Virus or other similar bioweapons.

After the attack at the white house, Claire arrives for her scheduled appointment with Press Secretary Spacer, only to be told that he is on the leave, not knowing that he was killed in the attack. She then spots Leon, whom she confides in about her discovery about a biohazard in Penamstan. Leon leaves telling her not to do anything stupid only for Claire to retaliate that the suit doesn't work on him.

Returning to her motel in Washington, D.C., she takes it upon herself to investigate what had happened in Penamstan. Reviewing news footage and newspaper clippings, she pieces the information together on a wall. Among this information is the controversy surrounding the U.S. intervention, such as allegations of it being orchestrated simply to intimidate the Chinese. Moving on, she begins looking at the men who served, only to find that out of the seven "Mad Dogs" who returned to their barracks in Texas five have committed suicide.

She then continues her investigation into the possible use of bioweapons in the Penamstan Civil War, she heads out to ask one of the remaining veterans some questions, only to find out that he had also committed suicide. Finding a suicide note left behind by the soldier, she calls the New York City Police Department and draws the conclusion that they have all been infected. Claire arrives at the White House once more to ask Defense Secretary Wilson of his involvement in the use of bioweapons but is ignored. When she returns to the motel, she is ambushed by Secret Service agents and is tazed and kidnapped.

Claire wakes up strapped to a chair, trapped under a secret research facility located beneath Andrews Air Force Base, where they were conducting research into creating super-soldiers engineered from the virus.

Interrogated by Wilson, he tries to bribe her silence with a charitable donation to TerraSave's mission in Penamstan but she rejects. He offers the dead soldier's PTSD as a reason why the authorities wouldn't bother investigating him and that he could simply have her killed otherwise. Believing himself to have won regardless, Wilson reveals his true plan to her: by declaring China a rogue state it would be in Penamstan's best interests for continued American presence. To protect it from China, the Penamstan military would be provided with bioweapons in the form of hundreds of super-soldiers, each effectively enslaved by their dependence on regular doses of an antiretroviral drug only he can provide and which Penamstan will have to make constant orders for, making him vastly wealthy in the process. Claire calls out the insanity of his plan. Jason arrives at facility on an upper level, and is immediately recognised by Claire as the last member of the Mad Dogs.

After Jason mutates, The facility's supercomputer determines a biohazard has taken place, and begins dumping the unconscious soldiers into a vat of highly corrosive acids and also putting Claire at risk, which has reached her floor, and has to climb up for her safety. When Leon spots her, he chooses to save Claire rather than continue pursuing Jason. Using the facility to her advantage, she takes control of the facility's cranes, and attempts to drop Jason into the acid below. Her attempts failed, however, as Jason tossed a gantry to the control room and almost crushed her. Leon manages to kill Jason and the two make it out of the facility.

Late in the afternoon, Claire meets Leon outside the White House. Claire asks Leon to hand over the chip so she can deliver it to the press. However, Leon refuses because of what Jason said about his willingness to spread terror in people. Claire is disappointed in his decision, commenting that the "outfit" doesn't suit him and leaves.
