For the Prime Universe counterpart, see Ben Bertolucci.


Ben Bertolucci[1] referred to as simply Bertolucci, was a reporter working in Raccoon City. At some point in mid-1998, the Chief of Police Brian Irons criticised the man for putting him through uncomfortable questions during a private interview. In response, Irons threatened to permanently ban Bertolucci from any further interviews.[2]

On the night of October 3rd, 1998[3], Ada Wong had arrived at the Raccoon City Police Station searching for him. Having been tasked by Victor Darius with questioning and potentially killing him depending on if he had been aware of the existence of the G-Virus. Ada soon crossed paths with rookie officer Leon Kennedy and the two found Bertolucci asleep, having locked himself in a jail cell. Leon and Ada attempted to interrogate Bertolucci, but the reporter was non-compliant, insisting on staying in the cell which he considered the safest place in the building.[4]

A while later, Ada and Leon heard Bertolucci cry out in pain and rushed back to the cell[5], having been attacked by a monster through the cell's window. The duo arrived just in time to find the reporter stumbling out of his cell and collapsing on the floor. They attempted to help a dying Bertolucci to no avail, he was near unable to speak, having had the corners of his mouth ripped open, but managed to inform the pair about Irons, who had been working for the Umbrella Corporation, which he had hoped to prove the zombies had been the result of. The pair then witnessed as a creature violently erupted from Bertolucci's chest, killing him.[6]
