Alice
Main Game Appearances: None
Movie Appearances: Resident Evil, Resident Evil: Apocalypse, Resident Evil: Extinction
Affiliation: Former Umbrella Corporation security agent
Background: Alice is an interesting character in the Resident Evil franchise because she's the star of all the movies but she hasn't actually appeared in any of the videogames to date. Still, she has become an iconic figure and is closely associated with the series.
Paul W. S. Anderson, who wrote and directed the first film, cast his then-girlfriend Milla Jovovich in the role of the ass-kicking amnesiac Alice (who is also known as Janus Prospero, Alice Parks, and Alice Abernathy in other media like the RE books). Even though Jovovich and Anderson have long since parted ways romantically, Milla continues to go medieval on zombie ass in each successive film, including Extinction.
A key aspect of the character throughout the films is that she has often not known what her true origins were or where she fit into the plans of the Umbrella Corporation, although by the close of Extinction Alice seems to finally be gaining the upper hand against that big, bad conglomerate.
So read on for some quick bios on Alice, Jill Valentine, Nemesis, and more, and then be sure to click on any character's name to be taken to their complete IGN Stars profile page. Those pages are resident on the site from here on in, but there's nothing evil about them, we assure you!
