Background
Raccoon City's Chief of Police, Irons is one of several corrupt key personnel that the Umbrella Corporation has utilised to assist in hiding its activities and covering up several minor incidents prior to the Raccoon City outbreak. Irons' primary responsibility within Umbrella's illicit activities is William Birkin's secret laboratory located directly beneath the city itself. Chief Irons also played a significant role in the smear campaign against the surviving S.T.A.R.S. members after the 'mansion incident' in the Arklay Mountains, ensuring that their experience and knowledge of Umbrella's research was kept to an absolute minimum regarding the public and the media. The private investigation commissioned by surviving S.T.A.R.S. member, Chris Redfield, also reveals that Irons was accused of rape on two separate occasions during his years as a university student. When the T-Virus outbreak began, Irons grew increasingly paranoid, convinced that Umbrella had betrayed him and would soon send an agent to eliminate him. His paranoia, coupled with his wounded pride at the loss of his city, drove the already fragile Irons to the verge of insanity. When the remaining R.P.D. officers barricaded themselves inside the precinct, Irons virtually ensured their demise by removing the remaining weapons and ammunition from the armory and hiding them in small amounts throughout the precinct. Irons was also an avid game hunter and taxidermist, and towards the end of the incident began hunting down the surviving officers, and the mayor's daughter, for sport. Irons managed to survive much of the crisis by locking himself in his office, but he was eventually found and killed by the infected William Birkin, either by impregnating him with a G-virus embryo, which ripped out of his body, or by ripping him apart.
