A former chemist, Kenneth put his chemical knowledge to work as field scouting officer for the S.T.A.R.S. Team. Personally chosen by Albert Wesker to be a part of the Raccoon City team, Kenneth undoubtedly was a talented officer.

On July 23, 1998, Bravo team was sent out into the Arklay Mountains within the Raccoon Forest, to investigate the cause of a number of animal attacks and cannibalistic homicides. Their helicopter would suffer a serious problem with its engine, due to an apparent sabotage. The chopper went down over the trees, but Raccoon Police Department pilot Kevin Dooley and his S.T.A.R.S. co-pilot Edward Dewey had just enough control to land soft enough to avoid injuries.
