In the game, players can play as either Jill Valentine or Chris Redfield, and although they have different partners and stories, they basically go through most of the same set pieces within the mansion.

In Jill's scenario, Jill bravely intervenes to save her from a giant snake, but dies seconds later. At least in Jill's case he dies a heroic death, but in Chris's case it's just messy.

His trademark weapon is a golden Luger, and while he may not be a fan-favorite character due to his high-pitched voice and some questionable behavior, his death is unwarranted.

xeno
Where is your head?
Zeno is another new character in the franchise, making his first appearance about halfway through. Resident Evil Requiem. He is Victor's mysterious benefactor who provided him with everything he needed to pursue Elpis in Raccoon City. Between Zeno's sunglasses and movements, it seemed like Capcom was grooming him to be the next Wesker, but things changed at the Umbrella Ark facility. Zeno, who has no idea what Elpis is, injects Elpis into his body and begins to grow weaker since it is a treatment rather than a biological weapon.
Stripped of his Wesker-like powers, Victor kills him with a clear head chip and that is the end of Zeno. There are no boss fights with him at all, which wastes his potential as a villain. In some ways, Capcom should be applauded for subverting expectations. But it's also strange to have such a well-designed villain.

Died before the trilogy

He goes through the same ordeal in this sequel, seeing his wife die before his eyes, his daughter being torn apart and having to be magically reassembled, and the amount of trauma at his hands is staggering.
Upon meeting the game's main villain, Mother Miranda, Ethan feels his heart break, as if he's channeling Mola Ram. Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Through it all, Ethan survived because his body was made into a special mold called the Megamycete, which allowed him to fight Mother Miranda and save his daughter, Rose. After defeating her, Megamycete begins to shrivel and Ethan begins to crystallize since he is part of this hive mind system. In the DLC, Ethan returns into Rose's memories, but he ultimately remains dead. Torturing a character for two games and then killing that protagonist isn't something most developers would consider doing, and there's a lot of potential left in Ethan.
