Matthew Addison

The Nemesis, (formerly known as Matthew "Matt" Addison) was the brother of Lisa Addison, posing as a Raccoon City Police officer in an attempt to infiltrate the mansion and The Hive. He accompanies Janus Prospero, Spence and the commandos into the Hive in order to ascertain what went wrong with the Red Queen. It wasn't until later he reveals that he and his sister were activists trying to expose Umbrella's illegal experimentation to the world. Though he escaped the Hive, he later went on to become a brutal monster after an infected cut from a Licker mutated his genetic structure.
== Biography ==
Professionally, Matt had a long history in government agencies, and was known to have graduated from the FBI's academy in Quantico, serving in their ViCAP unit. Alongside this was some level of presence in the NSA. In his private life Matt was also an anti-Umbrella activist, believing that the large corporation's above-the-law attitude made it a threat to the United States. In 2002 he participated in a plot to obtain proof of Umbrella's criminal acts by planting his own sister within the corporation as a mole. She would soon befriend Janus "Alice" Prospero, the head of security at the Hive.
In September of that year, Matt arrived at a mansion in the Arklay Mountains to obtain the evidence, carrying the forged ID of a local police officer should any questions be asked. Soon after his arrival, Umbrella's Sanitationcommandos broke in to secure the area after an apparent accident in the Hive involving the Red Queen security system going rampant. Matt himself was handcuffed; while accepting his claim to be a police officer his unexplained presence in the mansion was a security concern. With the unit small in number, he was brought down into the Hive along with Janus, who had been rendered amnesiac by the security system.
=== The Hive ===
Matt is watched over by Rain and J.D., while the other team members continue into the Red Queen's chamber. After successfully deactivating the Red Queen, all the doors in the facility open, releasing a horde of zombies. After the discovery of a survivor Rain stumbles upon, Matt states that the blood from the woman is coagulated, and that this process does not occur until after death.
The team is then slowly surrounded by legions of the undead Umbrella employees. Rain, J.D., and Chad Kaplan proceed to dispose of them. Several bullets hit one of the surrounding tanks, which causes an explosion. Matt spots the keys and uncuffs himself to escape and continue his search for his missing sister, Lisa Addison. Matt is joined by Janus, to whom he explains his mission was to expose Umbrella's dark secrets. He explains that his sister was working in the research facility in order to smuggle out a sample of the t-virus. He also reveals she had a contact within the Hive, who has access to security codes. Matt is later attacked by his now zombified sister, which is then killed by Janus, saving Matt's life.
Realizing that the mission has now become a survival fight, the team attempt to escape the complex via train. Before successfully escaping, the train is attacked by an Advanced Licker, which scratched Matt on his arm and killed Kaplan. After the monster is killed, Matt and Janus escape the complex. Matt's arm begins to mutate due to an infection from the T-virus.
Before Janus has a chance to administer the Anti-Virus, Umbrella scientists seize both Janus and Matt. Dr. Isaacs and anunnamed doctor's orders that Matt be placed into the Nemesis program.
