Lamont White was formerly a United States Marine Corps First Sergeant. After leaving service, he was involved in a violent crime and was arrested and sentenced to life in prison. When Umbrella inc. gave him a way out, he took it and joined the Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service where he stayed for nearly two years until he and the other members of the U.B.C.S. were dropped off in Raccoon City September 28th, 1998. Here, he teamed up with former S.T.A.R.S. Charlie Team member Tori Hitoshi to escape the city and afterwards became an anti-Umbrella activist. After Umbrella's collapse, he became an operative of the B.S.A.A. where his tactical skills, fighting experience, resilience and knowledge of B.O.W.s serve him well in his operations.
