Xian was soon planted undercover at Royal Palms Resort as a receptionist, mostly because they had nothing better to do with her, and feels shame and disappointment that her potential is being wasted. However, the team and its members were commissioned by the police force for the PR boost rather than their skill. She decided to follow in her father's footsteps and joined the Hong Kong police force, where she was selected to join the first all-female anti-organized crime unit. Xian Mei was born and raised in China by her father, a Hong Kong police force chief inspector who taught Xian martial arts from a young age, and was murdered by a Triad enforcer. In Riptide, they appear in-game as quest-givers.

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Sam B and Purna in particular are very rude and aggressive, and Logan is very gruff and coarse.

This turns out to have ramifications in Riptide. The Immune: They do all the work because they're immune to the pathogen that turns others into zombies.Except Sam B, who has no problem dealing with it. Heroic Willpower: During the final boss of Riptide, everyone displays this when taking the mutagen and going berserk.

The Fellowship Has Ended: In 2, Sam B implies that the group survived but all went their separate ways after the events of their games.In Riptide, everyone is forced to travel through storage facilities filled with chemical weapons and mutagens, causing the zombie virus to mutate and augment their Rage Mode and make them more explicitly invulnerable. Empowered Badass Normal: John counts more than the rest, due to being an expert martial artist and sailor before the outbreak, but the other four are total badasses by the end of the first game.Exactly how this ability gives Logan and Purna infinite throwing knives and bullets respectively is not explained. The Berserker: Riptide clarifies that the "Rage Mode" power-up is a side-effect of the zombie virus within them, which becomes more severe in that game.
