Resident Evil as a franchise spans many games and movies shows and books. But Billy only appears in the first game -Resident Evil Zero- so the happenings of all the other games are unknown to him beyond a lot of zombie stuff happening and it all ties back to Umbrella. The game focuses on him and his unlikely partner of Rebecca Chambers surviving the world's first encounter with the zombie virus.



In mid-1997, Billy was a Second Lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps with Force Recon, who, along with a team of Marines, were sent into hostile territory in Africa to attack a village suspected of being used as a guerilla training ground. Unfortunately, the air drop was off-target, and as such the team had to march across miles of hostile terrain to their target objective. The heat, combined with enemy attacks, soon reduced the team to four, and when they finally arrived, they found the village was actually full of innocent civilians.

Billy's commanding officer ordered the execution of the innocent villagers and framed Billy for it. Upon returning to base, Billy was court-martialed. Under Clause 1; Article 118 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, Billy was found guilty of 23 counts of first-degree murder. Under military jurisdiction, Billy was eligible for capital punishment and sentenced to death.



His actual in-game sats card

Billy is very strong and well built with muscles. He spent years as a Marine and is used to hard training and hard work. He is disciplined and takes duties seriously and will see anything he starts through to the end. Billy works out- a lot- and is of course skilled with guns and hand to hand combat and all the training and survival skills that come with Marine training and behind enemy line work in the military.

Billy is tall at probably around 6'4'' or so. Well muscled and very strong. He had a large stylized tribal looking tattoo that runs from his shoulder to his wrist that says "Mother Love." When he is alone he wears tank tops or goes shirtless but when out and about he will ear a long sleeve shirt to cover the tattoo out of fear of getting recognized. In time he may get out of that habit once he realizes Fandom is a safe place-relatively speaking. Billy has short black hair that is kind of wild and unruly. When he thinks about it and can be bothered it is usually slicked back. He will often run his hands through his hair to push it out of his eyes. Billy has dark brown eyes and is usually clean shaven with little to no facial hair.




Final appearance of Billy in the game


After the events of the game- lots of zombies and monsters and near death experiences- he goes into hiding in Mexico where he's been for the last 5 or so years. He comes to Fandom through some handwavey situation- he gets caught in a bad storm while out on his boat off the coast of Mexico. His little houseboat he's been living on starts to sink and he wakes up floating off the island, thinking he's still in Mexico.

Fun canon note- Billy can play the Piano!
