He soon discovers that one of his former training comrades, Jack Krauser (Jim Ward), who was believed to have been killed in a helicopter crash two years prior, is responsible for her kidnapping. Īfterward, Leon travels to a nearby island research facility, where he continues the search for Ashley. He then battles his way through the castle before finally killing Salazar. While in the castle, Leon briefly encounters Ada Wong (Sally Cahill), a woman from his past who supports him during his mission. He brings the two items to Leon but is killed by Saddler, who takes the sample, while the pills to suppress the infection remain in Leon's hands.

Meanwhile, Luis searches for pills that will slow Leon and Ashley's infection, as well as a sample of Las Plagas. After killing Mendez, Leon and Ashley try to take refuge in a castle but are attacked by more Illuminados under the command of Ramon Salazar (Rene Mujica), another of Saddler's henchmen who owns the castle, and the two become separated by Salazar's traps. They both escape from the church after Osmund Saddler (Michael Gough), leader of the Los Illuminados, reveals his plan to use the plaga they injected into Ashley to manipulate her into injecting the president of the United States with the 'sample' (a Master Plaga) once she returns home, allowing Saddler to begin his conquest of the world. Leon finds out Ashley is being held in a church and rescues her. The two work together to escape, but soon go their separate ways. He finds himself held captive with Luis Sera (Rino Romano), a former Los Illuminados researcher. While in the village, Leon is captured by its chief, Bitores Mendez, and injected with Las Plagas.
