Father Bitores Mendez was a Catholic priest whose parish constituted an isolated, rural Spanish community near a castle. Mendez fell to the influence of bio-weapons developer and terrorist Osmund Saddler, who converted people to his cult as a means of control.
Fr. Mendez led the initial hunt for USSTRATCOM agent Leon S. Kennedy; Ashley Graham; Dr. Luis Sera and Ada Wong as they made their way through his village, but was ultimately killed as the four made their way into the castle. Some of Mendez's distinguishing characteristics included his imposing stature and trench coat; his artificial left eye; an extraordinary resistance to firearms, and superhuman strength.
