Biography[]
Brad Vickers was a member of the Raccoon City Police Department and was a part of their special forces division, the Special Tactics and Rescue Service (S.T.A.R.S). Assigned to the S.T.A.R.S. Alpha team, Brad flew the unit into the Arklay Mountains at night on July 24th, 1998. The team was supposed to be providing back-up to the S.T.A.R.S. Bravo team, who went in earlier while investigating a string of grisly murders that took place in Raccoon City.
When Brad set down to deploy the Alpha team, the unit was set upon by a pack of necrotic undead canines known as Cerberuses. Agents Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine fought them off after another member, Joseph Frost, fell victim to them. Brad panicked and took off, leaving the other Alpha members to fend for themselves.
Later that evening however, Brad returned, and made contact with the survivors, who were inside the nearby Spencer Mansion. After they radioed for help, Brad touched down on a helipad at the mansion and brought the survivors to safety. [2]
Back in Raccoon City, the R.P.D. decided to disband the S.T.A.R.S. unit - a decision that Vickers happened to agree with. A monstrous Bio-organic weapon known as Nemesis raided the police station soon after, killing numerous officers, including Barry Vickers. [3]
