Who is who.
The hero of Resident Evil 7. He rebuilt his life in Eastern Europe with Mia and their daughter Rose, and has some military training. He loses two fingers in chapter 2 and a hand in chapter 4 and keeps going: his body takes more than it should, and the game eventually explains why.
Voice: Todd Soley (English), Javier Lorca (Spain) and Santiago Florentín (Latin America).
She reads Rose the "Village of Shadows" tale in the prologue and is shot when Chris's team bursts into the house. In House Beneviento her radio messages hint at a secret about Ethan.
Spoiler: the Mia in the prologue was Miranda wearing her face. The real one is held in Miranda's lab, and Chris frees her in chapter 12.
Voice: Katie O'Hagan / Ana Esther Alborg / Vanina García.
Ethan and Mia's daughter; Shadows of Rose protagonist
Chapters 1 and 12 (baby) · Shadows of Rose 1-3 (aged 16)
Born on 2 August 2020. She is the reason for the whole trip: Ethan searches the village for her.
Spoiler: Miranda crystallises her and splits her into four flasks held by the four lords: Head Flask, Legs Flask, Arms Flask and Torso Flask. Together they form the Giant's Chalice. In Shadows of Rose (2037) she is a teenager with mould powers who wants to be rid of them.
Adult voice: Jeannie Tirado / Jara Luna / Micaela Carla Oddera.
A series veteran since the first Resident Evil. He bursts into the Winters' home, shoots Mia and takes Ethan and Rose without a word of explanation. In the reservoir tent (chapter 8) he still gives no answers.
Spoiler: he was shooting Miranda disguised as Mia. He tells Ethan everything in the Factory (chapter 11), gives him the tank to face Heisenberg and leads the final assault, where you play him with the Dragoon, the USM-AI and the Target Locator. He is also playable in The Mercenaries Additional Orders.
Voice: Jeff Schine / Roberto Encinas / Martín Mendez.
A rogue unit Chris took over in 2018, after the BSAA covered up the Baker incident. Its base is in the village church, with a research post at the reservoir.

He is hiding with a shotgun in the first house. He gives Ethan a handgun, and soon after a Lycan drags him into the ceiling.

The first villager you meet: she chants the prayer to Mother Miranda and pushes you on. In the chapter 5 cave she gives you the Winged Key ("a life for a life").
Spoiler: she is Miranda in disguise.
Voice: Carol Stanzione / Ana Ángeles García / Yamila Garreta.
Ethan helps her reach Luiza's House. She shoots her own father to save Ethan and falls into the fire when everything collapses.

Voice (English): Robert Fleet.
She takes the survivors in and is killed by Leonardo. Her heirloom is a chapter 5 marked treasure, Luiza's Heirloom. Her husband, Vasile, went for help and never came back: his story is in Vasile's Final Testament (chapter 8).

Anton is the angry drunk; Iulian guards the door with a shotgun and is killed by Miranda soon after. None of them is left standing after the massacre at Luiza's House.

He shows up in the chapter 2 ambush: killing him there is optional (challenge Timber). He is the Stronghold boss in chapter 10.
His older brother, the Uriaș Străjer (with a mace), faces Chris in chapter 12. The Uriaș Drac giants (with axes) guard two marked treasures, Beneviento's Treasure and Cannibal's Plunder.
The village's "Mother"; master of the four lords
Chapters 2, 3, 11 and 12 · Shadows of Rose 3
The villagers pray to her like a priestess. You glimpse her in chapter 2 and she presides over the four lords' tribunal in chapter 3. She is the final boss.
Spoiler: she is a century-old biologist who found the Megamycete, the root of the mould, after losing her daughter Eva to the Spanish flu. She wants Rose as a vessel for Eva and can change shape: she was the prologue's "Mia" and the Hag too. Her diary (Miranda's Diary) is in her lab in chapter 12.
Voice: Michelle Lukes / Silvia Sarmentera / Luciana Falcón.
Engineer and lord of the Factory; controls metal
Chapters 2, 3, 8-11 · The Mercenaries Additional Orders
He captures Ethan at the end of his first village visit and drops him in the mines "for entertainment". Later he phones him, leaves signs all the way to the Stronghold and offers an alliance.
Spoiler: he hates Miranda and is building a Soldat army to overthrow her. He wants to use Rose as a weapon; Ethan refuses and fights him with the tank Chris gives him. He is playable in Additional Orders (A rank on the normal stages).
Voice: Neil Newbon / Nano Castro / Diego Rivas.
Countess of the castle; exports Sanguis Virginis wine
Chapters 3 and 4 · The Mercenaries Additional Orders
She stands 2.9 m tall (9'6", per director Tomonori Takano). After the dungeon she patrols the castle with her own music and footsteps you hear from afar. She cannot be hurt until the final fight, and she does not enter the Merchant's Room or the Atelier.
Spoiler: a hereditary blood disease makes her drink blood. Stabbed with the Dagger of Death's Flowers, she turns into a dragon-like monster. In Additional Orders she unlocks with an S rank on The Bloody River.
Voice: Maggie Robertson / Cecilia Santiago / Ximena Viver.
Silent and veiled; she speaks through her doll, Angie. Her house fills Ethan's head with hallucinations, caused by pollen from mould-infected plants, and your weapons are taken there.
Spoiler: Angie carries part of Donna's Cadou: the third time you stab the doll in the hide-and-seek, Donna dies.
Voice: Andi Norris / Sandra Villa / Ángeles Lescano.
She talks, mocks you and challenges you to hide-and-seek among the house's dolls. If you take too long to find her, the dolls attack for heavy damage.
Hint: the 2nd-floor bedroom first, then the 1st floor; blood stains mark the last hiding spot. The order has two variants: if you get the one you do not know, reload. Finding her in under 1:40 earns the Hide and Seek Master challenge.
Voice: Paula Rhodes / Pilar Puebla / Ángeles Lescano.
A fish-like hunchback, pathetic and desperate for Miranda's approval; he begs you to give back the flask you take from him.
Spoiler: he turns into a giant fish and is the boss of the drained Drowned Houses. Shoot the human torso in his mouth and get under a roof during the acid rain.
Voice: Jesse Pimentel / Carlos Pérez Longas / Pedro Ruiz.
Obese, jolly, with a garlic-hung carriage. He sells, buys treasures, upgrades weapons and, from the Four-Winged Key (chapter 5), cooks the dishes that raise your health for good. He seems to know RE4's Merchant ("an old friend used to say...") and cannot say what he is himself. At the end he drives Ethan to the last battle in his carriage.
Voice: Aaron LaPlante / Txema Moscoso / Gustavo Dardés.
They attack with sickles and dissolve into fly swarms. They are invulnerable until cold air gets in: break windows, blow the cracked wall or open the skylight. Bela falls first; Cassandra in the Armory; Daniela in the Library.
Spoiler: they were born from Cadou flies that consumed three women.
Voices (English): Bekka Prewitt, Jeanette Maus and Nicole Tompkins.
The girl made of mould who caused everything in Resident Evil 7.
Spoiler: in chapter 12 she appears to Ethan with a revelation about what happened to him in RE7. In Shadows of Rose she is the "dark-haired girl" of House Beneviento and a boss beaten only with Rose's powers.
He does not appear in person. Spencer's Letter, in Miranda's lab, reveals that he was her student and that Umbrella's logo came from the four-houses crest.
He writes hints on the walls and leaves gifts: ammo, First Aid Meds and White Sage. Talk to him every time you see him.
Spoiler: he is a fragment of Ethan kept in the Megamycete's memory.
The Duke's evil twin in the realm of consciousness. He taunts Rose and commands the Face Eaters and the Executioner, but is never fought. His diary is a file: The Masked Duke's Diary.
