Elza Walker was a main character in the beta version of Resident Evil 2. When the game was revamped, almost from scratch, she was replaced by a very similar—through unrelated—girl; Claire Redfield.
As in the finished game, one of Elza's supportive characters was Sherry Birkin. Her other supportive character was Robert Kendo, who only appeared in the final game briefly as the gun shop owner. Not much is known about this character, except that she was a Raccoon University student with a fondness with motorcycles; RESEARCH ON BIOHAZARD 2 final edition refers to her as a "racer".[2]
