Rodrigo Juan Raval

Rodrigo Juan Raval

Rodrigo Juan Raval is a character from Resident Evil Code: Veronica.

He is the leader of the 3rd Security Unit of the Umbrella Corporation's Paris Lab Facility. Rodrigo is the one who captured Claire Redfield in 1998/1999 and took her to the Rockfort Island prison. He is actually a native of Rockfort Island himself, and lived there before Umbrella purchased the land and forced the villagers out of the island.

At the beginning of the first half of the game, he releases Claire from her cell, due to the viral outbreak affecting the island. The player has the option to return to the prison at a later point during Claire's half of the game, and provide Rodrigo with a hemostat for his injury. In doing so, Claire will exchange her lighter for a lockpick.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, Chris Redfield will meet a dying Rodrigo in the island's underground catacombs. Provided that Claire delivered the hemostat, Rodrigo will then return the lighter to Chris before a giant T-virus-infected worm eats him whole. Although Chris attempts to save him by killing the Gulp Worm, and Rodrigo is spit out, the acid burns inflicted by the creature's stomach prove fatal. If the player checks the catacombs, they'll find the graves of two of Rodrigo's relatives (Robert and Maria).

Notes

In early production, the Battle Game mini-game was initially a small side story, where the player would have control over Rodrigo in the village where he grew up.
