Corporal Carlos Oliveira is a video game character in the survival horror game Resident Evil 3: Nemesis played by voice actor Vince Corazza. He is playable as a character in both the main game (during a certain portion of the game), and in "The Mercenaries" minigame after the completion of the former.

Background

A Brazilian mercenary hired under the U.B.C.S., he was a member of the Alpha Squad within the Delta Platoon and was in charge of rear security and weapon maintanance. Prior to his involvement with the unit, he was a member of an Anti-Government guerilla force in an undisclosed region of South America. He uses an M4A1 carbine rifle and wears a green fatigue shirt and a black tactical vest with the Umbrella logo displayed predominantly on the back.

When news of the T-Virus outbreak hit, he was sent in with a unit to the heart of the disaster in the hopes of rescuing any survivors. However, in the heat of battle, Carlos was forced to fight for his own life. He was only one of three known living U.B.C.S Delta Platoon operatives in Raccoon City. The other two, Delta Platoon leader Mikhail Viktor and B Squad member Nicholai Ginovaef, had taken cover elsewhere in town while Carlos looked for possible means of escape from Raccoon City.The fact that Carlos is the only survivor of his unit(due to the fact that Mikhail dies and Nicholai flees or dies also)shows that he is extremely resiliant and has great survival instinct, proving to be one of the best despite his young age.

During his search of the city, he met with surviving S.T.A.R.S. operative Jill Valentine. He became immeddiately smitten with her but Jill rejected his advances. At first, Jill was reluctant to trust Carlos due to his affiliation with Umbrella and macho attitude, but she quickly learned that Carlos was almost unaware of the company's nefarious deeds and was simply an expendable pawn to them. The two teamed up and managed to escape the Downtown area of the city and into the St. Michael Clock Tower, where Jill fought the Nemesis. As a result of the battle, Jill became infected with the T-Virus after being struck by one of Nemesis' tentacles. To help save her Carlos went to Raccoon Hospital and managed to prepare a vaccine that cured Jill from her infection. Afterwards, he proceeded to the Abandoned Factory near Raccoon Park and found a helicopter that allowed him to escape with Jill (However, if Nicholai gets to the helicopter first, Carlos still tries to contact other helicopters, this resulting in Barry Burton coming to pick up both Carlos and Jill). After the destruction of Raccoon City, he joined Jill Valentine and Barry Burton's Anti-Umbrella organization until Umbrella's closure by the U.S. Government. Throughout the game, the feelings between Jill and Carlos grew. Carlos' affection for Jill could be seen especially when he risked everything to bring her the vaccine to cure her. It is highly likely that by the end of their adventure, Jill returned his feelings when they were seen on the ship in the ending.

In other media

Carlos was potrayed by actor Oded Fehr in the 2004 film Resident Evil: Apocalypse, an adaptation of Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. This version of Carlos is older in appearance and throughout the movie he behaves with more expertise behind him as opposed to his character in the game. His teammates are Nicholai Ginovaef (whose character is different in the movie and is much younger; he also dies) and Yuri Loginov (an original movie character), instead of Mikhail Viktor. Note that Carlos' character in Apocalypse is different than it is in the game.

Oded Fehr will reprise his role as Carlos in the 2007 film Resident Evil: Extinction.
