Hale transformation, The chimeran virus

Nathan Hale is the main protagonist of Resistance: Fall of Man and Resistance 2. A soldier in the United States Army, Nathan rose to prominence after being infected with the Chimeran virus and was responsible for liberating Britain from the Chimera. Strong, intelligent, extremely brave and yet withdrawn, Hale went on to become one of the original Sentinels. After apparently breaking the Chimera's hold on the United States, Nathan finally succumbed to the Chimeran virus and was executed by his subordinate, Joseph Capelli.

He was named as one of the greatest heroes of the Chimera War for his exploit in decimating the Chimera Fleet and saving humanity from the Chimeran virus via his namesake vaccine.
