President Graham

The speech is fiery, accusing China of a conspiracy against the United States and defending the continued military presence in the region as a bulwark against Chinese expansionism. Ryan is horrified by the speech and by Wilson, who co-wrote it, but Graham agrees with the latter due to the available evidence. President Graham sits in the Oval Office, rereading the speech for the Penamstan peace accords. Pleased with the fiery remarks, he departs for Andrews Air Force Base, where the press conference is taking place. While the stage is being prepared, Patrick receives a phone call from Leon, who survived the destruction of the ASDS and discovered the root cause of the problem, alerting him to the recent discovery. Superficially, the peace accords are well underway, and Graham is about to deliver his speech. As he approaches the podium, he is interrupted by Patrick, who informs him of Wilson's involvement. Realizing that a proxy conflict with China was Wilson's idea, Graham abandons his prepared speech and instead speaks of his admiration for the people of Penamstan for laying down their arms in pursuit of a better future, with the US only assisting them with financial aid from then on. After the speech, Leon bids Graham farewell on Air Force One.

Their meeting takes place in the Oval Office, though Leon is delayed due to a recent bioterrorist incident in Pittsburgh. As soon as Leon arrives at the White House, the power goes out and the Secret Service springs into action, ready to take Graham to the bunker if necessary. When the backup systems fail, it becomes clear that the informant from the previous night is still in the White House, and Leon arrives shortly after. Leon meets with Graham in the Oval Office and alerts him to the situation; the escape to the bunker is called off in favor of the bunker, with the Secret Service eliminating any enemies in the way and Patrick sent to protect Graham, who remains safe out of the attack. In the morning, USAMRIID teams arrive to collect the bodies and disinfect the White House. After deliberation, Graham decides that it is best to cover up the incident, and the victims are declared to be on leave; in the afternoon, the White House returns to its normal routine. Later, the DIA's investigation into the cyberattack determines that the stolen files mentioned a biological research facility in Shanghai, which, according to Wilson, confirms Chinese responsibility. A top-secret operation is devised, in which Leon, Jason, and Shenmei must infiltrate the Shanghai facility. After the ASDS's last communication is sent, its destruction is quickly reported to Washington, and Graham is informed of both the unexplained disappearance and the redirection of a Chinese fleet to its last known location, leading him to believe Wilson's narrative even more. In the Oval Office, final preparations are being made for Graham's speech on the impending Penamstan peace accords.

In 2005, Graham faced even more challenges. The FBC itself was shut down after revelations that its director, Morgan Lansdale, had orchestrated the Terragrigia Panic to strengthen his own position. Without a substantial countermeasure to the threat of a domestic bioterrorist incident, the 75th Ranger Regiment was assigned to assume those responsibilities. In November of that year, Graham initiated the Anti-Virus Weapon Protocol once again, following confirmation of the use of the t-Virus in Harvardville. Kennedy's work on that mission revealed a plan by rogue elements of the defense firm WP Corporation to smuggle samples of the virus and a vaccine into the Republic of Bajirib. A second biohazard incident occurred in the city of St. Cloud, Minnesota, in which Graham was forced to call in BSAA operators for assistance – something he had not done in Harvardville. A year later, the White House was put on high alert after an unidentified individual hacked into confidential computer files. The origin of the intrusion was traced to a local area network (LAN), and an investigation was opened because the suspect could be a White House official or a politician from his administration. The investigation is personally overseen by him, his chief of staff, Ryan, and his Secretary of Defense, Wilson. All the people who were in the White House on the day of the intrusion are investigated by four of his best agents: Jason, Shenmei, Patrick, and Leon.

Alongside the FBC, a secret group within USSTRATCOM, known as the Anti-Umbrella Investigation and Pursuit Team, was deployed around the world on operations against terrorist groups and criminal organizations seeking to obtain biological weapons. Graham had direct control over this army unit, having carried out, in 2002, a mission in South America and another in the Atlantic Ocean, preventing the launch of a missile that would have dispersed the T-virus over American airspace. This secret unit would be deployed on operations under Antiviral Weapon Protocol No. 7600, which gave general orders to deal with biological risks and bioterrorism as a matter of national security, regardless of location. In 2003, the Umbrella Corporation finally entered its death throes when the US government made a secret deal with Dr. Albert Wesker to obtain information that could be used against the company in the Raccoon City Trials. Although the bankruptcy of Umbrella's subsidiaries ended Umbrella as a threat, the black market for biological weapons only intensified its operations under Wesker's group, Tricell, and with the 2004 Terragrigia Panic, the policy of denying the existence of biological weapons could no longer continue. Almost coinciding with Graham's successful re-election in the fall of 2004, he suffered a personal tragedy when his daughter, Ashley, was kidnapped by Los Iluminados, a religious cult and paramilitary organization. The cult, led by the self-proclaimed "Prophet" Osmund Saddler, had genetically engineered a type of mind-control BOW (Biomedical Weapon) dubbed Las Plagas, which forced the host to obey the orders of lieutenants chosen by Saddler. With Ashley, the group planned to transform her into a host for the parasite and an infiltrator capable of implanting the parasites in other people in Graham's circle. Shortly after his kidnapping, the plan was thwarted by US-STRATCOM operator Leon S.

Biography: Graham is an American politician who served as President of the United States of America from 2001 to 2009. Graham's term saw the rise and escalation of the War on Terror. After winning the 2000 presidential election, Graham's first term faced considerable challenges inherited from his predecessors. Domestically, Graham had to deal with the aftermath of the 1998 Raccoon City Destruction Incident, which led to the resignation of a previous president. Graham maintained a policy of covering up the incident, leaking information about illegal biological weapons dealings with the Umbrella Corporation, to the detriment of the Raccoon Trials, which lacked sufficient evidence to determine guilt for the incident. Internationally, the end of the Cold War, with the collapse of the Soviet Union a decade earlier, only contributed to destabilizing much of the world. Graham's internal and external challenges would reach their peak on the morning of Tuesday, September 11, when a coordinated terrorist attack devastated the American Northeast, killing more than three thousand people. Immediately following these attacks, the United States led NATO in the War on Terror, aiming to eliminate Al-Qaeda, an Islamic terrorist network that developed in the post-Cold War period. Another creation during Graham's first term was the Federal Bioterrorism Commission (FBC), a federal agency dedicated to dealing with bioterrorism.

Personality: Paternal and Protective: His greatest motivation is the safety of his daughter, Ashley. He fully trusts Leon S. Kennedy for the rescue, demonstrating gratitude and personal loyalty to his agents; Decisive and Ethical: In crises like Infinite Darkness, he refuses to succumb to dirty war tactics or political manipulations involving biological weapons, always seeking transparency; Resilient: He maintains his composure under extreme pressure, whether with his daughter kidnapped by a cult or with the White House under direct attack; Punisher: He is one of the main figures responsible for driving global policies to combat bioterrorism after the Raccoon City disaster.
