Introduction<\/h3>\n

Lucas Baker\u00a0was a resident of the\u00a0Baker ranch, located in\u00a0Dulvey, Louisiana. He was the son of Jack\u00a0<\/a>and\u00a0Marguerite Baker<\/a>, the older brother of\u00a0Zoe Baker, and the nephew of\u00a0Joe Baker.<\/p>\n

Biography<\/span><\/h3>\n

Pre-infection<\/span><\/h4>\n

Lucas was apparently a “bad seed”, but despite his unruly ways, he was a gifted inventor and won several awards for his work which he displayed in his room. He also mentioned having gotten a jigsaw puzzle from his mom as a reward for going to the hospital for a head scan.<\/p>\n

It can be presumed that he was already mentally unstable.<\/sup>\u00a0He also chronicled the time when he trapped one of his childhood bullies,\u00a0Oliver, in the attic and sealed it with a remote, leaving him to die of thirst and starvation. He then fused the remote with one of his trophies, disguising it as a lamp to prevent Zoe from getting into the attic. Later on, he went on to study at a university within the state of Louisiana.<\/p>\n

By\u00a02014, he and his sister were still living at their parents’ house. His anti-social nature led him to constantly fall out and argue with his family, resulting in him creating a\u00a0“Fuck You” list\u00a0on his laptop to log these events and vent his frustrations. After a violent storm hit the surrounding area, Lucas went outside and found a shipwrecked tanker. Telling his father about it, they went to investigate but found only one survivor;\u00a0Mia Winters<\/a>. Lucas then brought Mia in.<\/p>\n

Daughters<\/span><\/h4>\n

Jack eventually returned with a girl named\u00a0Eveline<\/a>, as Lucas watched. He was irritated that Marguerite let Eveline have his old bedroom, although he nonetheless consented. After Eveline had woken up, Lucas wound up unconscious, and eventually was dragged by Jack to “meet Eveline” where she gave him her “gift”, with him telling his father to not do it in sheer terror.<\/p>\n

Meeting Eveline & the Connections<\/span><\/h4>\n

Eveline, who had the ability to produce a mold substance and control people she came into physical contact with, managed to take control of the Baker family, Lucas included, grooming them and Mia to become her ideal family. Along with his father and mother, Lucas gained regenerative abilities, even being able to grow back his hand after Jack cut it off. However, Lucas was met by agents working for\u00a0The Connections, who provided him with a serum that stopped Eveline from controlling him. <\/sup>In exchange, Lucas spied on his family for them, whilst managing to fool Eveline into thinking he was still under her control. During his time of possession, Lucas also began building elaborate puzzles within the family’s old barn, some of which were certain to cause the death of the victim, even when solved. He was also given the role of lead researcher by the Connections, much to the dismay of another researcher, who had a master’s degree in microbiology from\u00a0Stanford University. According to the\u00a0researcher’s note, he would commonly make test subjects fight each other and perform pointless autopsies. Aiming to take Eveline\u2019s\u00a0Mold\u00a0for himself, Lucas eventually betrayed the Connections; arranging for all their researchers to be locked in a room to be killed by\u00a0Molded.<\/p>\n

After the\u00a0Sewer Gators\u00a0arrived in the\u00a0Dulvey Haunted House\u00a0and were confronted by Jack Baker, Lucas took\u00a0Clancy Jarvis, the sole survivor, and forced him and\u00a0Hoffman, another survivor, to play 21, a modified version of Black Jack\u00a0of Lucas’s design, where the loser would suffer painful consequences. Clancy soon proved himself to be the better card player between himself and Hoffman, leading the latter’s eventful death. Lucas later put him into the “Party Room” within the re-purposed barn. After removing his bindings, he taunted Clancy into solving the puzzle, putting a\u00a0candle\u00a0on a cake, promising him freedom if he did. However, unknown to Clancy, Lucas had rigged the puzzle to require a\u00a0winder, which would spill oil onto the floor. Completing the puzzle, the cake exploded and set fire to the room. Unable to extinguish the flames or escape, Clancy died as a result. Shortly after the flames died out, Lucas came into the room to retrieve the camera, taunting Clancy, even after his death.<\/p>\n

Conflict with Ethan<\/span><\/h4>\n

When\u00a0Ethan Winters, Mia’s husband, was captured by his father, Lucas attended “dinner” with his family to welcome him to their group, continually throwing food at him whilst he was unconscious. Eventually, Lucas threw his dinner plate at him, to which Jack responded by slicing off Lucas’ hand, causing the latter to shout “not again!”, signifying that this wasn’t the first time it had happened. <\/sup>When\u00a0a police officer\u00a0arrived and knocked at the door, Lucas and Jack disappeared, possibly to either hide from or murder him.<\/p>\n

Whilst Ethan was investigating the old family house, he found Mia in the basement. However, before he could find a way to her, Lucas appeared behind her and took her hostage. During Ethan’s investigation of the old house and fight with Marguerite, Lucas placed keycards around the family’s house and the\u00a0key to access these rooms\u00a0within the neck of the now deceased deputy. He later captured Zoe in the family trailer as she retrieved an ingredient to a cure for Eveline’s mold, leaving the severed\u00a0molded\u00a0head of the officer in the fridge with a note attached to it, reading “the pig is in the dissection room, bitch!”. As Ethan arrived at the trailer after collecting the ingredient, Lucas called its phone and, when Ethan answered it, taunted him, telling him about his capture of Zoe and sending him to collect key cards that would allow him access to the barn. Lucas also filmed a short video, explaining to Ethan how he wants things to stay the way they are, setting a television up to play it.<\/p>\n

As Ethan progressed through the barn, foiling his traps and defeating the Molded, Lucas would continually mock and tease him, getting on his nerves. Once he made it to the Party room, Ethan, having seen Clancy\u2019s fate on a videotape and learning from his mistakes, completed the puzzle without releasing the oil. Angered, Lucas threw a\u00a0stick of dynamite\u00a0through a hole in the room’s wall to kill Ethan, only for\u00a0the latter to throw it back through the hole, enabling his escape. Furious at this twist of events, Lucas fled. He taunted him one last time via video recording, suggesting that he had more surprises in store for Ethan, although he was not seen again afterward. However, his IED traps are encountered\u00a0when Ethan later entered the salt mines.\u00a0Blue Umbrella’s special forces team survey the Baker Ranch and\u00a0Chris Redfield\u00a0reports that Lucas was in the salt mines and that he was going to look for him. After helping Ethan kill Eveline, Chris entered the salt mines in pursuit of Lucas.<\/p>\n

Operation Lurking Fear<\/span><\/h4>\n

t an undisclosed point in time, Lucas betrayed the Connections scientists working with him, feeding them all to the Molded before covering the incident up as an accident. With Umbrella in hot pursuit and a third party in need of the\u00a0E-Series\u00a0data, Lucas commenced a final effort to complete his transactions and cut ties with his former business partners. He captured three Umbrella soldiers working under Chris in order to use them as bait. When Chris attempted to save the first of these captured operators, Lucas, under the guise of another operator, attached a plastic explosive to Chris’s arm before detonating a similar bomb on his hostage’s neck. Lucas proceeded to release E-Type spores throughout the mines as a further means of trying to kill Chris. He later decapitated the second captive soldier with a buzz saw and blew the final\u00a0operator’s head off with another remote bomb. Mocking Chris, he then activated the bomb he had placed on his arm, although Chris was able to remove it in time by freezing it with liquid nitrogen.<\/p>\n

In an effort to finally kill Chris, Lucas causes the salt mine to self-destruct, then sends an email containing research data about Eveline and the Mold to an unknown client. However, Chris manages to survive the explosions in the mine and proceeds to continue chasing Lucas. At the end of the chase, Lucas ambushes Chris with a knife, but is pushed back and shot in the chest by him, triggering both Lucas’s grotesque mutation and his final fight with Chris. Chris eventually gains the upper hand, incapacitating Lucas by fatally damaging him, and then permanently killing Lucas by shooting him in the head with his shotgun. Chris then shoots out Lucas\u2019s computer, preventing the unknown clients from receiving his data.<\/p>\n
