[edit] Ashley Graham
Ashley Graham (voiced by Carolyn Lawrence) is the 20-year-old daughter of the newly-elected President, taken captive by the Los Illuminados during her trip home from Massachusetts and held in a European village. It is Leon's initial objective in the game to ascertain her whereabouts and retrieve her. After meeting her, it is revealed that she has been implanted with a Plaga parasite, so that the cult could gain control of her before returning her to the U.S.. The rest of the game then becomes a quest for Leon and Ashley to find a way to remove the parasites inside their bodies before they fall under Saddler's control. When Ashley is with Leon, it is the player's duty to protect her. As with previous Resident Evil games that feature short sections in which the player takes control of a supporting character, the player takes control of Ashley in a chapter of the game.
[edit] Ada Wong
[edit] Luis Sera
Luis Sera (voiced by Rino Romano) is a 28-year-old Spaniard who befriends Leon early in the game and teams up with him to escape the village. He claims to have formerly worked as a police officer in Madrid. In reality, he's a native of the village and was employed by Saddler as a researcher to find ways to strengthen the Plaga parasites. He betrays Saddler and steals the sample of Las Plagas, but eventually Saddler catches up with him and impales him with a barbed tentacle. Before dying, he gives Leon medication to suppress the growth of the Plaga in his body and leaves behind all of his research notes throughout the castle and island, which provides hints on the behavior of Las Plagas and how to destroy many of the enemy creatures introduced during the course of the game. The plaga-removing machine which Leon and Ashley use near the end of the game was invented by him.
The "Separate Ways" scenario and "Ada's Report" documentary added to the PS2 version of the game expands on Luis's role in the game, depicting him as in league with Ada Wong and the organization she works with (a connection that was only implied in the main game).
[edit] Ingrid Hunnigan
Ingrid Hunnigan (voiced by Salli Saffioti) is Leon's primary radio contact and his only link to headquarters. She provides the player with general gameplay tips and hints between chapters early in the game. Leon loses contact with her after he first enters Ramon Salazar's castle in which the communication line is hijacked by Los Illuminados. Salazar (and later Saddler) takes over the transmission to taunt Leon between missions. Leon does not regain contact with Hunnigan until after the ending credits, which consists of Leon flirting with Hunnigan and her turning down his advances.
[edit] Jack Krauser
Jack Krauser (voiced by Jim Ward) is a mercenary hired by Saddler and is the one responsible for Ashley's kidnapping. A former U.S. agent, he was once a close friend of Leon until he was presumed dead two years before the events of the game and disappeared. In reality, he infiltrated the cult in order to procure the sample of "Las Plagas" and is actually working for Albert Wesker. In addition to being a skilled knife fighter and archer, Krauser is also endowed with the ability to transform his left arm into a giant mutated sword-like claw. Leon fights him twice during the course of the game: first in an interactive cut-scene which depicts a knife fight between the two, and later in an in-game battle across a set of ruins on the island. At the end of this battle, Krauser is assumed dead. However, in the 'Separate Ways' mini-game he battles Ada in his defeated form, suggesting that this battle takes place after he battles Leon for the second time.
Krauser appears as the end boss in the "Assignment: Ada" mini-game. He is also a playable character in the "The Mercenaries" mini-game, in which his claw can be used as a special attack by the player. The "Separate Ways" scenario added to the PS2 version depicts a third battle with Krauser occurring during the main story, this time against Ada. In addition, the "Ada's Report" documentary expands on Krauser's role in the storyline.
[edit] Osmund Saddler
Osmund Saddler (voiced by Michael Gough) serves as the main antagonist of Resident Evil 4. He is the leader of a religious cult known as Los Illuminados, which seeks to control the world. He has converted the villagers into his cult and now controls them due to the Plaga parasites in their bodies. It is believed by Ada's organization that his ceremonial rod allows him to retain control of the Ganados and the other creatures through sound frequencies. His main underlings are Bitores Mendez and local castellan Salazar, in addition to Jack Krauser.
[edit] Bitores Mendez
Bitores Mendez (voiced by Jesse Corti) is the village chief whom Leon faces at the beginning of the game, he is referred to as "The Big Cheese" by Luis and by Leon in one of the radio transmissions. Some of his distinguishing characteristics include his imposing stature, fake left eye and resistance to firearms. He leads the hunt for Leon and Ashley early in the game, leaving behind notes of his strategies to trap the two.
[edit] Ramon Salazar
Ramon Salazar (voiced by Rene Mujica) is the eighth castellan of the castle which serves as the setting for part of the game. Ramon's ancestor, the first castellan, was responsible for sealing the Las Plagas parasites in his castle centuries ago. Despite his diminutive stature and wrinkled face, he claims to be only 20 years old, which suggests he may have some form of progeria. He is protected by two cloaked bodyguards known as Verdugos.
