In the world of Resident Evil, where zombie outbreaks and B.O.W attacks are a regular occurrence, it can help to have a natural-born leader in the group who can lead everyone to safety. Throughout the course of the Resident Evil series, many characters have stepped up to the plate and proved themselves to be reliable and efficient leaders for their groups; many of whom are considered heroes, while others are villains who simply want as many servants as possible to help with their plans.
