Leon S. Kennedy
Ashley Graham
Ashley Graham (voiced by Carolyn Lawrence) is the daughter of the newly-elected President, taken captive by Los Illuminados during her trip home from Massachusetts and held in a European village. It is Leon's initial objective in the game to ascertain her whereabouts and retrieve her. After meeting her, it is revealed that she has been implanted with a Plaga parasite, so that the cult could gain control of her before returning her to the US. The rest of the game then becomes a quest for Leon and Ashley to find a way to remove the parasites inside their bodies before they fall under Saddler's control. When Ashley is with Leon, it is the player's duty to protect her. As with previous Resident Evil games that feature short sections in which the player takes control of a supporting character, the player takes control of Ashley in a chapter of the game.
Ada Wong
Luis Sera
Luis Sera (voiced by Rino Romano) befriends Leon early in the game. He turns up to aid Leon and Ashley in various locations. He is eventually killed by Saddler shortly after attempting to give Leon "The Sample". Dying, Luis hands Leon a drug which suppresses the growth of Las Plagas, and with his last breath tells him to retrieve "The Sample".
The "Separate Ways" scenario and "Ada's Report" documentary added to the PS2, PC and Wii version of the game expands on Luis's role in the game, depicting him as in league with Ada Wong, in order to retrieve a separate sample of an un-altered and original plaga, and the organization she works with (a connection that was only implied in the main game). He leaves notes and files in various locations throughout the game.
Ingrid Hunnigan
Ingrid Hunnigan (voiced by Salli Saffioti) is Leon's primary radio contact and his only link to headquarters. She provides the player with general gameplay tips and hints between chapters early in the game. Leon loses contact with her after he first enters Ramon Salazar's castle in which the communication line is hijacked by Los Illuminados. Salazar (and later Saddler) takes over the transmission to taunt Leon between missions. Leon does not regain contact with Hunnigan until after the end credits.
Jack Krauser
Jack Krauser (voiced by Jim Ward) is a mercenary hired by Lord Saddler and is the one responsible for Ashley's kidnapping. A former U.S. agent, he was once a close friend of Leon until he was presumed dead two years before the events of the game and disappeared. In reality, he infiltrated the cult in order to procure "The Sample" and is actually working for Albert Wesker. In addition to being a skilled knife fighter and archer, Krauser possesses superhuman speed and strength, can jump great distances, and is also endowed with the ability to transform his left arm into a giant mutated claw. Leon fights him twice during the course of the game: first in an interactive cut-scene which depicts a knife fight between the two, and later in an in-game battle across a set of ruins on the island. At the end of this battle, Krauser is assumed to be dead. However, in the 'Separate Ways' mini-game he battles Ada along the prison yard rooftops, while Leon is fighting the Soldiers on ground level.
Krauser appears as the end boss in the "Assignment: Ada" mini-game. He is also a playable character in the "The Mercenaries" mini-game, in which his claw can be used as a special attack by the player. In addition, the "Ada's Report" documentary expands on Krauser's role in the storyline.
Osmund Saddler
Osmund Saddler (voiced by Michael Gough) is the main antagonist of Resident Evil 4. He is the leader of a cult known as Los Illuminados, which seeks to control the world. He has converted the local population into Ganados and now controls them due to the Plaga parasites in their bodies. His plan for Ashley was to put the parasite into her and send her back to the US to infect the President, allowing Saddler to begin his conquest of the world.
Saddler encounters Leon and Ashley frequently, first setting his minions on them, then using his growing power over their Plaga-infected bodies to control their actions.
Finally, Leon confronts Saddler on a platform high above the island, and after freeing Ada, watches as Saddler transforms himself into a massive, multi-legged monstrosity. Despite Saddler's considerable strength in this form, Leon manages to defeat him.
Bitores Mendez
Bitores Mendez (voiced by Jesse Corti) is the village chief encountered by Leon early in the game. He is a tall, imposing figure with superhuman strength. He leads the hunt for Leon and Ashley early in the game, and leaves various notes and documents around the village, typically orders for the Ganados.
Ramon Salazar
Ramon Salazar (voiced by Rene Mujica) is the eighth castellan of the castle which serves as the setting for part of the game. Ramon's ancestor, the first castellan, was responsible for sealing the Las Plagas parasites in his castle centuries ago and dissolving the cult which worshipped them. Despite his diminutive stature, grey hair and wrinkled face, he claims to be only 20 years old. He is protected by two cloaked bodyguards known as Verdugos.
Leon and Ashley encounter Salazar at many points as they make their way through his castle. He uses various means to capture Ashley and neutralize Leon, usually involving his minions, the Ganados, but during the last confrontation, where Leon finally catches up to Salazar and the remaining Verdugo, Salazar elects to stand and fight. He and his Verdugo merge with an enormous Plaga and emerge bonded into one huge tentacled entity. Leon manages to defeat him.
The Merchant
The Merchant assists Leon by selling and upgrading nearly all of the game's weapons. He is a mysterious man in a long hooded cloak and a blue mask. He carries a large selection of firearms and equipment, ranging from tank and artillery shells to handguns and shotguns. He speaks with an Australian accent.
