Ryan Redfield as a child was always very much a carbon copy of his brother. Chris was 7 years older than Ryan and he worshipped the ground that his big brother walked on. Before he had graduated High School Ryan had already decided on his career path - he would follow in the footsteps of his big brother and join the Armed Forces.
Ryan recieved sparkling reviews from all of his superiors for field performance and his skills in weapons training and CQC were second to none. Although he became a first class soldier his attitude towards his duties were often his downfall. Redfield has always posessed what those close to him have termed a 'hero' complex and in his mind there was NOTHING more important than protecting and defending those who were unable to do so themselves. This attitude was a constant source of contention for his superiors and would eventually lead to Ryan leaving the armed forces of something where he could truly 'protect and serve'.
Once again opting to stay in the shadow of his brother Ryan would relocate to Racoon City and petition to join his brother with the Racoon City S.T.A.R.S (Special Tactics and Rescue Service) department. When Ryan submitted his application to join the team to his amazement it would be his brother that held the deciding vote and would vote against him joining with him in the Alpha Team.
Confused and dejected the youngster returned him in a fit of rage, why had his brother turned on him? It was a question that festered within him for months. As the relationship between the two grew more and more distant (through Ryan's anger) he was amazed when he recieved an invitation from the leader of the S.T.A.R.S Bravo Team Enrico Marini to joing his team. Up until that point Enrico had been Wesker's second in command but when the S.T.A.R.S unit seperated into the Alpha and Bravo teams Enrico was appointed as the leader of the Bravo unit he feared that he would be replaced by Chris Redfield or Barry Burton as Wesker's second. Seeing the similarities in ability and Skill between Ryan and his brother Enrico actively pursued him in recruitment for his squad. Chris petitioned against his brother's enlistment but it was Enrico's perogative to choose who he wanted for the team. In an attempt to prove that it was a mistake to pass him up for the Alpha team Ryan signed up without a moment's thought.
Along with Enrico and Ryan the S.T.A.R.S Bravo team consisted of the following members:
Jonathon Starsmore, Rebecca Chambers, Jennifer Sullivan and Richard Aiken. Although the newest member of the Bravo team he is not the least experienced member in terms of field experience add that with the fact that he was going in with a point to prove and Ryan Redfield would become a front office nightmare - as skilled as he was Ryan was not become a team player and it looked as though his enlistment with S.T.A.R.S would be a short lived one until another S.T.A.R.S member would step in. Jonathon Starsmore was the only officer in the Racoon City Police Department to transfer directly into
S.T.A.R.S unit and knew what it was like to be the young guy surrounded by Veterans, though this wasn't the answer to all of Redfield's attitude problems it served as the reminder of what line he couldn't cross, combine that with a growing infatuation between Ryan Redfield and Rebecca Chambers and things were looking up.
Everything changed when the S.T.A.R.S bravo team were dispatched to the Arklay Mountains to investigate a series of grizzly murders around the area - this of course lead to the famed Racoon City incident which, through investigation was revealed to be the fault of the international pharmacutical corporation Umbrella Incorporated.
After narrowly escaping with their lives Ryan recieved a message on his voicemail on the evac chopper from his sister, Claire informing him that she was getting a break from college and was heading into Racoon City to visit her brothers. In a blind panic Ryan would plead with his partner for the two of them to make a return to Racoon City to rescue Claire. Admittedly Jonathon was understandably apprehensive but the two had developed a bond through their ordeals and so the two would make a return into the infected city to search for Claire Redfield. Things would quickly go from bad to worse for the pair as the Umbrella Corporation dispatched a biological weapon designated 'Tyrant' into the city that was now completely infected. In another fight for their lives the pair would search the city from top to bottom searching for Claire Redfield. Through their experiences they would learn that the infection that had spread through the city was a result of the experimental G-Virus developed by scientist William Birkin. The two eventually reunited with Claire and a rookie Police officer with the RPD called Leon Kennedy and together the four, along with William Birkin's young daughter Sherry would make their escape from the city.
In the months that followed after the destruction of Racoon City Ryan Redfield slipped into a deep depression. Having delivered the news to the Chambers' that their daughter was dead he was overcome with emotion and guilt. Although he would live with Claire who attempted to council him through his problems he wasn't interested even neglecting to leave with his sister when she would go in search of their missing brother Chris (leading her the Europe and the Rockfort Island incident). Not long after Claire departed Ryan was contacted by the Chambers' claiming that they had recieved a message from their daughter claiming that she was alive and in trouble. Redfield wasted little time in leaving immediately boarding a plane for Paris, France, little did he know that he was about to re-enter the fray.
Upon arriving in Paris, Ryan made his way to the location provided. The facility turned out to be and abandoned umbrella facility that was being used for covert research into the companies darker projects. During his investigation of the facility Ryan was reunited with his former partner Jonathon Starsmore, who as it turned out had recieved a similair message regarding their other S.T.A.R.S team mate Jennifer Sullivan. This had been a plot instigated by Rebecca Chambers who had somehow been revived from the mansion incident and had clearly been subjected to experimentation with the T-Virus. Luring her former team mates to the facility as a loose end to be tied up. Although the pair were unable to ascertain who had truly masterminded the scheme they ultimately defeated their former team-mate and would once again head their seperate ways.
Realising that he had made a mistake in allowing his sister to go off on her own Ryan suited up and went after his siblings. To his horror he would eventually be reunited with Claire to be told about Rockfort Island and the T-Veronica Virus. Following the death of someone she had grown close with Chris had ensured Claire was alright and then left again to reunite with Jill Valentine and track down the resurgent Albert Wesker. After the things he had witnessed and the people he had lost Ryan knew that it was time for him to fulfil his duty and, like his brother ensure that the Umbrella Corporation was taken down once and for all. Although Claire pleaded with him to stay away from it Ryan wanted to help his brother and protect his sister from the people he knew would come after them, one way or another he was unfinished business for Umbrella and he knew that it wouldn't be long before he found himself in their sights once again.
After making contact with his brother he pleaded his case with him and the two shared the tales of their different yet similair paths that had transpired before them in each other's absence. That was when Chris told his brother about a new orgainisation that was being formed by the international pharmaceutical consortium called the Bio-hazard Security Assessment Agency (B.S.A.A). Following a long and unrewarding investigation that's sole purpose was to track down Albert Wesker they were finally rewarded when they recieved a tip on the whereabouts of Oswell. one of Umbrella's founders. They would go to confront him hoping he would lead them to Wesker but the trio were struck with tragedy when in an effort to save Chris's life Jill Valentine would hurl herself at Wesker throwing herself and Wesker out of a window and facing a near 150 foot drop. The loss was a tragic one and was hard for the pair to recover from but ultimately they knew that they had to continue. After the B.S.A.A recieved an article entitled 'The Kennedy Report' from the whitehouse they were shocked to learn about the existence of a highly sought after biological entity known as The Las Plagas Parasite, as well as providing detailed information on the organism it also told of an outside authority that had gained possession of the samples and that would be the new prime focus of the B.S.A.A following the apparent death of Wesker. For over a year and a half the pair followed up several false leads and were beginning to loose hope. Ryan Redfield recieved information involving one of the many dummy corporations apparently set up by Albert Wesker for the purposes of trafficing Umbrella Bio-Weapons on the black market while at the same time Chris Redfield was dispatched to Kijuju, Africa (events of RE5 - Death of Wesker and Chris, Revival of Jill Valentine) to track such a dealer named Irving from providing samples of the T and G-Virus to terrorists. The pair decided to go their seperate ways and see what they could find out. In Russia Ryan's investigation would turn out to be very fruitful teaching him of something called 'Project W' that revealed Albert Wesker may himself have been an Umbrella Experimentation and also revealed that he may not be the only being with such power that he now possessed. Armed with the information Ryan returned to the B.S.A.A to of Chris fate
