Marvin is a wounded cop Leon or Claire first encounter in the police station, who sets the scene about what happened in Raccoon and tells the player to look for other survivors. He forces you to leave alone at gunpoint, and you’re left to wonder what happened to him afterwards.The answer comes when you revisit the locker

The answer comes when you revisit the locker room, and find him slumped against the wall in an office. Don’t run over for a hug though, since he soon stands up and – rather depressingly – turns into a zombie right before your eyes, forcing you to put him down.

It’s impressive that a game with pretty horrid voice acting is still able to make you feel bad about the death of a minor character, and it sets a suitably grim tone for the rest of the game.
