Who is Resident Evil’s Hunk? The man is a bit of an enigma, and even though he only appears throughout the series a handful of times, he has quite the following. A lot of people couldn’t help but feel a certain pull to him in the Resident Evil 2 Remake, as you see him defy the odds and show the world why he’s the best at what he does. It’s just a shame that Resident Evil’s Hunk bats for the wrong side.
Since Hunk is from Resident Evil 2, you might want to read our Resident Evil Ada, Resident Evil Claire, Resident Evil Leon, Resident Evil Sherry, and Resident Evil Mr X guides to learn more about the game’s other characters. Or, you could check out our Resident Evil virus guide to find out what he must fight against in his bid for survival.
Anyway, let’s take a look at Resident Evil’s Hunk.
Who is Resident Evil’s Hunk?
There’s little we can tell you about Hunk. Hell, we can’t even tell you the guy’s real name, but something tells us he prefers it that way. It takes one heck of an individual to become such an icon with no name or face. That’s right, you never see what’s behind the mask, either.
The most important thing we can tell you is that he works for Umbrella, which does make him a villain as far as the Resident Evil world goes. But he’s so good at what he does that he doesn’t even get his comeuppance in the 4th survivor; with limited guns and ammo, he still fights his way out of the sewers to live another day. The reason he’s even there, to begin with, is to take the g-virus from William Birkin, and that just opens a whole can of worms.
Naturally, Birkin injects himself with the virus, becoming the monster known as ‘G’, who then kills the entirety of Alpha Team in the sewers, except for Hunk, who, against the odds, survives long enough and fights through many hordes, to call for an extraction.
After Umbrella disbanded in 2003, he put his legendary skills to work as a mercenary with his own firm, the Close Quarters Quarantined Battle Zone (C.Q.B.Z); he even creates some of the weapons that the organization uses to get the job done.
Resident Evil Hunk’s personality.
Cold and determined. Those two words personify Hunk. He’s a man on a mission, literally, and stops at nothing to achieve his goal. Quite honestly, he doesn’t care who must die (unless given orders to bring someone in alive), and it’s easy to be collateral damage if you get in his way. He doesn’t even care if his comrades fall. There’s a reason that his nickname is “Grim Reaper.” It’s survival of the fittest, and Hunk is a survivor.
