yeehaw: Piers Nivans

Piers is only in Resident Evil 6(unfortunately).

There is a much more in-depth explanation of this campaign/storyline in this post.

There will be quotations around the name Ada. You will find out why in the next post B)

Born in 1987, death July 1, 2013.

Piers's family, dating back to his great-grandfather, was involved in the military. As a young boy, he wanted to follow the tradition. When he graduated from an military academy, he was at the top of the class. He later joined the U.S. Army Special Forces.

Sometime in 2010, he met Chris Redfield(see here, here, and here), who invited him to join the B.S.A.A. He soon became Chris's second-in-command in the Alpha Team.

In 2012, Alpha Team(of the North American branch) was sent to Edonia to help with the recently released C-virus. They met Sherry Birkin and Jake Muller(a government agent and a mercenary) in Edonia. Chris had known Sherry from Claire(his sister), who rescued Sherry in Raccoon City(in 1998) with Leon S. Kennedy. The group helped each other out and defeated two giant B.O.W.s. After Alpha Team got to their mission objective, the city hall, they met a woman calling herself Ada Wong. She trapped them in cells and released the C-virus on the four other members of Alpha Team. They mutated and turned into Chrysalids(a B.O.W.). Chris and Piers were the only Alpha Team survivors.

In the six months that followed this event, Chris had taken up smoking and drinking, and the memories of his last mission were repressed. Piers found him in a bar in Edonia, and convinced him to come back to the B.S.A.A.

They were sent to Lanshiang, China, to rescue United Nations diplomats being held hostage by J'avo(B.O.W.s, pronounced "Joo-ah-vo"). The building was bombed after the rescue. They were soon encountered by a giant, invisible snake(I wish I was kidding). The remaining Alpha Team members had to fight and defeat it.

They later had to pursue "Ada" in a car chase to the dockyards, when B.S.A.A. headquarters told them she was headed for an aircraft carrier. They met up with Leon S. Kennedy and Helena Harper soon after. "Ada" got away, so Chris and Piers had to chase her again. She was shot off a building by a man in a helicopter. She left a briefcase on the roof, which contained a strain of the C-virus.

They then had to fight another giant B.O.W. and stop it from releasing the C-virus across the world. Their strategy failed, and a missile containing the C-virus was shot at the Tatchi district in China. Chris contacted Leon to warn him, and Leon requested that Piers and Chris go rescue Sherry and Jake from an underground oil rig. After they retrieved the two, they encountered the "ultimate B.O.W.", HAOS(the name comes from the Serbian word for chaos). They are separated from Jake and Sherry, and are forced to run from and then fight HAOS.

During their fight with HAOS, Piers loses his right arm, and injects himself with the C-virus strain he obtained from "Ada". He develops a squid-like appendage, enabling him to release bio-electricity from it. The two defeat HAOS and get to the escape pods.

Piers pushes Chris into an escape pod and locks it. He knew he would fully mutate and hurt Chris. Chris yells at him, but he knows there's nothing to do. (this part is super sad btw) After the escape pod is launched, HAOS attacks it, but is then hit by a surge of electricity(indicating that Piers saved Chris's life).

Chris honored Piers's memory by staying in the B.S.A.A.(He was planning to retire after the China mission and let Piers be captain.)

I absolutely love this character. He has such an admiration for his captain. He also saves his life multiple times. He has a strong sense of justice.
