Jill Valentine is an American police officer formerly linked to the Special Tactics and Rescue Service, the special forces division of the Raccoon Police Department. 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 they were suspended from the force. While Redfield left for Europe to investigate Umbrella there, the other survivors left for their own respective interests. By mid-September, only Valentine and Vickers remained in Raccoon City. Valentine herself planned to leave by the end of the month; under continued surveillance, she was aided by Vickers, who maintained the guise of alienating his comrades to operate as a mole in the RPD. Over the course of a few short days, from 23–28 September, an accidental outbreak at Umbrella's NEST facility had made its way into Raccoon City and saw a large-scale outbreak manifest, starting from scattered violence on the 24th to heavy rioting on the 28th. It was at this time that Valentine became aware of the dire state of affairs in the city, first by receiving a warning on the phone by Vickers and immediately after by an attack on her apartment by the Nemesis, a prototype Umbrella B.O.W. sent into the city with orders to assassinate the remaining S.T.A.R.S. members. Valentine had to flee through the streets of Raccoon City. Valentine met with Vickers shortly after escaping from her apartment, and they both decided to leave town before the situation worsened.

Every single movement, however trivial, is considered classified for Albion Headquarters' Special Forces, 'Colon'. Their identities are so heavily guarded, even mentioning their real names to one another was forbidden. Thus, they resorted to communicating through their code names, even within Albion. This applied to Freyna, also known as 'No. 6', as well. Even with her long-time partner, 'No. 9,' or O'Neill, no names were ever used. The moment they joined Colon, Freyna, and O'Neill, who had been subsequently drafted into Colon after graduating from the military academy, were not allowed to call each other by their names. Under the teachings of the organization, Freyna carried out her given missions with impressive efficiency. Regardless of who the target was, killing them came naturally to her. So much so, it became second nature to her, and in the process, any room for hesitation disappeared. That is, until the 'Room 0 Incident'. Shortly after they began their operation report, the agents who had been deployed, except for Freyna, complained of pain before collapsing to the ground, only to begin transforming into Vulgus. Naturally, Freyna did what she had to do, without hesitation. After all, it was Colon's duty to eliminate any threats, even if they had just been human; be they teammates or lovers. After a few gunshots, the agents, including O'Neill, fell to the ground. Freyna frantically rushed to O'Neill. With a contorted face, O'Neill grimacingly said, "You must live, Freyna." As soon as he uttered these words, he began to swell up, his body eventually rupturing. The venomous spores spread from O'Neill's corpse, filling up Room 0. The bewildered officer quickly grabbed Freyna's arm and dragged her out, firmly locking Room 0.

A descendant who is notorious for being the 'troublemaker of Albion'. Due to her unique Arche ability to generate electricity through her physical movement, she is also considered to be a walking power generator. There is a rumour that she is the fastest runner in all of Albion. In Albion, there were as many orphans as there were casualties of war. But Bunny, even as an adult, harboured an unresolved question: "My parents weren't even soldiers... so why did they abandon me?" Her parents, who only occasionally showed their faces and disappeared after her sixth birthday, left Bunny waiting and waiting. Left alone with her grandmother, Bunny seemed to channel her inner turmoil into causing major incidents. Notably swift on her feet, she had dodged the police multiple times, earning the moniker of Albion's Greatest Troublemaker. She even believed she was out of the soldiers' reach. Bunny had stolen soldiers' weapons and sold them on the black market, using the proceeds to dutifully support her grandmother amidst the darkness. At that time, Bunny's life goal was to secure a room in Albion's finest retirement district to ensure a comfortable dusk for her grandmother. Bunny, carrying on the mission of her absent parents, needed a lot of money, but nothing was too challenging for this quick-witted Rabbit. As long as she could steal and run, no one could catch her. Even on the day she stole a bunch of expensive military grenades, she had no worries... except that she had fled to a fuel depot with a faulty circuit breaker.

Hailing from the back alleys of Albion, she never forgets her past and keeps it buried deep within her heart while doing her utmost as a Descendant. Possessing the Arche ability to manipulate the cold at will, she is considered to be a very gifted young Descendant. Hailing from Albion's underbelly, Viessa was a runner for a smuggling gang that brought in banned goods from the old, abandoned lands. During those years, Viessa was known for her ability to bring in items that were more luxurious and expensive than what the other gang members brought in. Viessa's sphere of activity was a city that was frozen a century ago by a Colossus called the Dead Bride. The place was eerie, filled with frozen corpses and the fallen Colossus, but items deemed expensive have been preserved, remaining intact. Moreover, because of the cold, the other gang members couldn't even get near it. But for her, it was her own paradise; she couldn't understand why everyone would shiver so much in the cold. But this paradise turned into a cold hell overnight. The Colossus Dead Bride, which was thought to be destroyed, was simply lying dormant, and the slight change in temperature caused by Viessa's presence awakened it. In the end, Viessa was forced to fight the Colossus. She was barely able to defeat it, thanks in part to the Descendant Corps, who joined her and were deployed after an anomalous energy generation had been detected. Of course, their encounter was awkward, to say the least.

Early into his childhood, he turned to a life of crime and discovered his violent side. After being selected as a suitable candidate for the SPARTAN-II Program in 2517, he was abducted and sent to Reach, where he was specially trained to be a soldier. In 2525, he and the other candidates underwent a series of augmentations to improve their physical and mental abilities. Jerome was among the ones that survived and were not crippled or killed by the procedure. During his training, he tried to escape numerous times, but he quickly proved himself to be considered one of the program's top candidates. Both Dr. Halsey and Chief Mendez identified him as one of four emerging leaders within the Spartan-II group, along with Kurt-051, Frederic-104, and John-117. Jerome's leadership skills were correctly observed, as he later became the earliest known appointed leader of the Spartan-II's Red Team. Jerome was the appointed leader of Red Team during the First Battle of Arcadia. He and his team were tasked with stopping the Covenant long enough to evacuate the civilians of Arcadia. Afterward, he and Red Team linked up with forces from the Spirit of Fire and assisted in a counter-attack on a Covenant outpost. After the battle, Jerome and Red Team were permanently assigned to the Spirit of Fire.

Professor Ellen Anders was born on the colony of Arcadia. She studied under Doctor Catherine Halsey, though their relationship was tense, with neither holding the other in a fond regard. In 2531, some time before the Harvest Campaign, she was lecturing on Theoretical Xenobiology at Rishard University. When stopped on the street by a nondescript stranger, she was told that Dr. Halsey had recommended her as a "consultant." Anders told the man that there was some mistake, as she was not on speaking terms with "that woman." Despite her refusal, a car pulled up, and the man dragged her in before speeding off. The man and his accomplices, ONI agents, brought her to an undisclosed location. Anders was furious and demanded to know why she was kidnapped. They showed her classified images of the Covenant on Harvest and snippets of intercepted communications, which referred to the planet as a "Treasure World." This piqued Anders' interest, and she agreed to assist ONI in deciphering the Covenant's motives and nature. She was given "unrestricted" (presumably broad, but limited to her field of study) access to ONI equipment and resources. She then travelled to Epsilon Indi System aboard an ONI vessel UNSC Last Gleaming, where she reviewed the data on the Covenant. While on board, she determined that while the Covenant were looking for something, they were trying to hide something as well. Later, she was relocated to the UNSC Spirit of Fire.

Serina (SN: SNA 1292-4) was a second-generation AI construct assigned to the UNSC Spirit of Fire, a modified Phoenix-class colony ship. Serina was a military advisory smart AI. Created by Daedalia Technology, she was first activated on January 7, 2530. She was considered the greatest work of the time by the company. She was then assigned to the Spirit of Fire. Serina replaced the previous shipboard AI of the Spirit of Fire, although she had a somewhat rocky period of acclimation to the ship's unorthodox crew. During her service aboard the Spirit, Serina and Nurse Lulu Hershey started to have "girly" discussions together during the latter's night shifts in the ship's medical bay. During 2531, Serina was present in the final battles of the Harvest campaign as well as the Battle for Arcadia and the Battle of Trove, providing the crew with intelligence on the various situations they encountered. After the destruction of Trove, Serina, along with the rest of the crew of the Spirit, were left stranded far beyond human-controlled space without a Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine.

Captain James Gregory Cutter (SN: 01730-58392-JC) is a senior officer in the UNSC Navy, serving as an officer during the Insurrection and early into Human-Covenant war. He would later serve as the commanding officer of the modified colony ship, the UNSC Spirit of Fire. Before joining the UNSC, Cutter earned respect for standing up to terrorists in the Epsilon Indi system. Over time, he became the captain of the Spirit of Fire, and is known to walk the ship at night to check on the crew. He was so well respected that coffee houses gave him free coffee beans to take with him on long trips. James Cutter entered the UNSC School of the North Star on September 15, 2500, where he studied astro-navigation and political science. He was then sent to the Officer Candidate School on June 19, 2504 where he was taught in Command and Navigation. There, he entered naval service as a Lieutenant and Junior Navigation Officer on the UNSC Brilliant Shores on November 16, 2507. With the outbreak of war with the Covenant, Cutter was handpicked by Admiral Preston Cole to command the Spirit of Fire in her new role as center of repair, supply, and forward deployment operations for Battlegroup D. Cutter participated in the Harvest Campaign in 2531. He developed a close relationship with the ship's AI, Serina, but was suspicious as to the presence of Professor Ellen Anders, suspecting that there was more to her than met the eye.

Eivor was born in 847, dubbed a "plague year" to Rosta and Varin, two minor nobles from Norway. After being turned away from the homes of various fellow Norsefolk, Rosta's brother Ímar allowed the couple to stay at his residence, where Rosta gave birth to Eivor not long after. Eivor's birth was witnessed by her cousin, Ímar's son Bárid, whom she grew up with, until Ímar's family migrated to Dublin in Ireland some years later. Eivor's family went on to settle in Heillboer, a small settlement in northern Rygjafylke, within the territory controlled by Styrbjorn Sigvaldisson's clan. Eivor's family came to bond with Styrbjorn's, with Eivor befriending and growing up alongside Styrbjorn's son Sigurd. In 856, Eivor attended a feast organized by her father to honor Styrbjorn and pledge allegiance to the jarl. Eivor presented Styrbjorn a gifted arm ring at her parents' behest, but halfway through the celebration, the settlement was raided by Kjotve of the Wolf Clan. Eivor watched as her father put down his axe at Kjotve's insistence that his family and clan would be spared if he gave his life willingly, leading to both his and Rosta's deaths. Kjotve immediately broke said promise and ordered his men to kill the rest of the village. Eivor, however, was rescued by Sigurd, who managed to clear the immediate village area on horseback before being separated from Eivor after a tumble caused by one of Kjotve's raiders. Lastly, Styrbjorn bent the knee, giving his lands and titles to Harald to guarantee peace for his clan, angering both of his children. Sigurd argued with his father for denying his birthright to become jarl before storming off as Harald expressed his interest in Eivor and asked if she would join him. She declined by saying that her destiny was bound to Sigurd. After three weeks at sea, in January of 873, Eivor and her clan arrived in the southern part of Britain. Eivor and Sigurd's longship went on ahead of the other to clear the way leading into the land.
