Background
An American soldier who became acquainted with Raccoon City survivor Leon S. Kennedy sometime after the T-Virus outbreak in 1998, Krauser met with Leon after the two became agents for the U.S. Government. Although the two were good friends, Krauser suddenly disappeared after a crash in 2002 and was presumed dead. In reality, Krauser was alive all the time, and he joined the same organization as Albert Wesker.
In 2004, Krauser was sent to Europe by Albert Wesker to work as a spy within Osmund Saddler's organization, "Los Illuminados", in order to procure a master sample of Las Plagas parasites, along with Ada Wong. He tried to gain the trust of Lord Saddler by kidnapping the daughter of the US president, Ashley Graham. The abduction of Ashley Graham led to Leon's (under orders from the U.S. Government) mission to Europe to rescue Ashley. While infiltrating Saddler's island base, Leon confronted his former ally. The two engaged in a knife fight, with Krauser nearly divulging his objective to Leon. When Krauser got the upper hand, Leon was rescued at the last minute by Ada (whom Leon had teamed up with during the Raccoon City incident). Krauser began questioning Ada's loyalties and plotted to kill her along with Leon.
Leon fought against Krauser in a complex of ruins within the base. The battle culminated on the roof of the ruined structures, with Krauser activating a time bomb. Leon ultimately defeated his former comrade and escaped from the ruins before the bomb's detonation caused them to collapse. Although he appeared dead, Krauser actually survived the explosion and followed Leon. He found Ada first and opted to attack her. Ada, who had believed Krauser dead (and reported such to Wesker earlier), went on the offensive to take out Krauser. Although Ada took great care in not killing Leon, she was, however, quite willing to be rid of Krauser once and for all. Having studied Krauser's style and mutation, Ada was more than a match for Krauser and presumably takes him out, without realizing his use of a flash grenade to escape. Whether he returns or not shall remain to be seen.
