Mike was a helicopter pilot who worked for the USSTRATCOM (United States Strategic Command) section of the United States Government, under the direction of
Ingrid Hunnigan. He was initially assigned as backup on a mission to provide evac to the US Presidents daughter
Ashley Graham who had been captured by the
Los Illuminados cult and brought to a region of northern Spain.
Initially,
Leon S. Kennedy was sent to the area in order to locate Ashley and bring her to a rendezvous point where a helicopter would come and pick them up. However, this helicopter was shot down thus preventing their escape. This forced Hunnigan to call upon Mike as the backup and provide air support to
Leon as well as eventually pick them both up.
Mike made his way to the area in his helicopter, and using information from
Leon and Hunnigan's frequent radio communications, he eventually found
Leon exploring an industrialised island not too far from the mainland. Here, he provided ballistic support as well as light to an otherwise darkened area. At times, he was forced to pull back due to the use of an anti-aircraft
Battery - however,
Leon was able to dismantle it on the ground which enabled Mike to proceed and assist
Leon through the island.
Unfortunately, Mikes helicopter was shot down just as he was about to pick up
Leon on a cliffside. While he waited in the air for
Leon to board, he was fired upon by
Los Illuminados soldiers which caused the craft to explode and crash, killing him instantly.
Mike would be remembered for his chatty demeanour, even inviting
Leon for a beer after the mission. As this was now impossible,
Leon vowed to get revenge on those that murdered his colleague.
His face cannot be seen clearly in-game due to his distance in the air, but using the Model viewer you can get very close to his face which shows that he is at least physically fit, Caucasian and between the ages of 30-40. Using a free-camera mod on the PC version also allows the player to see his face, which is partially modelled.
