"No one can oppose me now...!" — Goldman, after releasing the Tyrant virus on the citizens of Sheena Island. |
Vincent Goldman was the commander of the Umbrella facilities on Sheena Island (which is located somewhere in Europe). He was a young, coldhearted elite of the Umbrella Corporation, who would do anything to extend his authority.
Biography
Working with Umbrella, Goldman had his colleagues murdered to aid his own promotion through management.[1] His mother was aware of his dark deeds and pleaded with him to leave Umbrella and come home.[2]
Sheena Island
Goldman was assigned as commander of Sheena Island sometime before August 1998,[3] in response to the sudden and unexpected death of his predecessor.[4][excerpt 1] His most important responsibility was the management of a secret "Tyrant Plant" on the island, where various kidnapped adolescents were taken to and killed in order to extract "β Hetero Nonserotonin" hormones needed for the Hypnos-T Type development.[3][5] The Umbrella Corporation were concerned about Goldman's lack of humanity but his research was too valuable to contradict him.[citation needed]
After his handling of an attempted prison break-out by the surviving teenagers by personally executing each failed escapee in cold blood, the local population began to turn on him. At one point wire-tapping was used to find incriminating evidence necessary to have Umbrella remove him. His brutal operations would reach critical levels in late November, when a boy called Lott Klein informed him of a spy impersonating him. To rid the island of his problems, he intentionally released the t-Virus into the populace, along with a number of T-103s. His plan was to escape when Under Taker units arrived to destroy evidence of the outbreak, including murdering survivors. Once he had escaped, he would reap the profit by claiming it was an accident.
In one of three possible endings, he was eventually killed by a newly released, experimental Tyrant designated "Hypnos-T Type".
Further notes
Depending on which way the player will choose to go during the game, Vincent may confront Ark towards the end of the game and be killed by the newly-awoken Hypnos-T Type. Other possible confrontations are the UT Commander and Andy Holland.

"急逝した前任者に代わって、 この島の司令官に配属されたアンブレラ製薬の若きエリート。優秀な指導者であると同時に独創的な料学者である彼は、 島の施設を使って社にも極秘の生体実験をはじめる。非常に残酷な性格で、 自らの出世のために同僚を始末したり、 多くの人間を研究材料として使い捨てることに何のためらいもない。研究施設から逃げ出した被験者たちもまるで虫ケラを殺すように自らの手で射殺している。目にあまる非道さに街の住人たちはもちろんのこと、 アンブレラの社員すらも彼を畏怖し、 必要以上の残虐行為をやり玉に挙げて司令官の座を失墜させようとした。しかし、 事前にその情報を得たビンセントは、 本社に報告される前に街中にT-ウィルスをばらまいて全住民をゾンビ化させ事実を隠蔽する。まさに死人に口なしである。しかしアンブレラ本社には彼の行なっていた極秘実験も既知の情報であり、 あえて黙認し研究を続けさせていたのだ。"
