Who is Piers Nivans? (Resident Evil 6)

Piers Nivans is one of the new characters that joins the main cast of heroes in the game, Resident Evil 6. A former member of the Special Forces with a knack for Sniper Rifles, Piers joined the BSAA in 2010 and was being groomed by his commanding officer Chris Redfield to become a prominent member of the organization in the future. A role which Piers proved capable of filling, after Captain Redfield went missing following a mission they'd been assigned in Edonia.

Who is Piers Nivans? (Resident Evil 6)

[@alexduran333]

The tragedy is Piers was supposed to be Chris' successor. 6 did an excellent job developing characters and character arcs

[@saimalishahid1406]

For real

[@Elitesolider1023]

Well I'm glad they didn't because I can't imagine the future of resident evil without Chris so it was definitely a better move for piers to sacrifice himself which perfectly motivates Chris to never give up and let loss get the better of him.

[@eden20111]

Piers was a good side character. Both him and Sheva Alomar were great teammates to Chris. I don’t like how Capcom just tossed them to the side… It would have been awesome to see Jill, Sheva, Piers, and Chris team up again after 6. That would have solidified his main partners. While for Leon it would be Claire, Ada, and Helena

[@denomi39]

[@zoomerschutzstaffel441]

​@@eden20111I hope in RE9 they use Piers Nivans as a BOW weapon for BSAA

[@katytis2012]

Piers is the real hero of Resident Evil 6.

[@ShiveringCharlatan]

The real hero was that ketchup bottle that he hit

[@Elitesolider1023]

I wouldn't say that but I would say it felt like piers was the actual main character of Chris's story and that Chris was more like a side character like mad Max fury road.

[@StormyT1m]

It's true I really miss him I even cried when he died

[@xaythearsonist2003]

Too bad there wasn't a alternate ending for him: Piers saves Chris like the story originally went except he has a turban covering his B.O.W. scars and a new robotic arm that functions like his B.O.W. arm.

[@kwbalance108]

The fact that Piers couldn't say a word showed how much his mind was slipping. Saving all his energy for the actions he can take. Damn that was heartbreaking. Piers was always one of my favorite characters!

[@rafaelvillamor9702]

Piers reminds me of the young Chris Redfield. Always head strong never back down from anybody even his superiors. Their sense of justice is non negotiable.

[@noticemeonii-chan5347]

Yes exactly

[@PlayfulFruitLPer]

There’s supposed to be a parallel between Chris and Piers and Chris and Wesker. Wesker as a captain did everything he could to betray and harm his team while Chris as a captain did everything to save his.

[@kimberlys8422]

When my brother and I got this game, I played as Piers. He was the voice of reason and it made us both sad when he sacrificed himself for his drunk-ass Captain Chris.

[@angelofchoasdeath]

I hated he died at the end of RE6. He was actually supposed to live but late in development changed it like right before the game came out. Chris was supposed to but they chickened out again. Dude wasn't my favorite but grew on me.

[@dragonballradiant2744]

Did he died it’s ambiguous

[@angelofchoasdeath]

@@dragonballradiant2744 It's confirmed he's dead by Capcom. Lab blew up and under sea valcano is where sunk into . We didn't see the body so Capcom could bring him back but it's unlikely.

[@AnaxErik4ever]

RE6 is a garbage fire game, and among its myriad of problems, Piers dying when it should have been Chris (again) was a big one. I am a relatively new RE fan, but from stances of storytelling vs marketing, it is obvious that CapCom wanted to maintain a character whose name had more staying power rather than effectively passing the torch to the next "young and capable STARS agent".

[@angelofchoasdeath]

@@AnaxErik4ever I've been playing since the beginning. I completely disagree it's not perfect but far from garbage but everyone has a opinion shrugs. We it comes to killing mains characters Capcom Chickens out but "kills" them on occasion. Well it wasn't the first time he was supposed die . As for advertising the game did well second highest grossing RE and reaction is mixed it did well here in America and Japan . Story has issues but tied up plotlines and added not to say without adding more. Capcom has love boner for Chris he's in just about every RE shrugs.

[@missxmarvel]

I’m glad they didn’t kill Chris off. I rather have Finn save Chris instead of Piers because he was such a fan boy while the others picked on him for it. Finn was the underdog and he should have made a better sacrifice.

[@ibelieveinpeople]

piers was the best character to ever exist and i sobbed when he died and i love him

[@Midnight_Wesker]

Piers was the best character in 6, and i would have loved to see him succeed Chris. I feel like 6 would have been the perfect send off for Chris and i honestly wouldn't even be mad if Piers took his place. There was never a body, or a confirmed in game death to my knowledge. He could definitely come back, especially with what RE8 set up.

[@david_nivans87]

I hope that!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

[@turdmanjones59]

He injected a highly lethal virus into his body, he was on the verge of rapidly mutating like the others before him.. plus his arm was severely damaged at the shoulder joint, there'd be no way he'd be able to serve in the B.S.A.A or recover from that.. as much as i love Piers, there would be no way he'd survive those injuries or the C-Virus

[@Midnight_Wesker]

@ They had a cure by the end of the game, and Piers could have been given a prosthetic.

[@user6kh-4mw]

Piers is the real hero in re6 ngl.

[@GetPoopedOn111]

Man, it's only me (probably) but I felt like Peirs and Jake could've been the better rivalry of Chris and Albert, without the need to kill each other everytime they see one another

[@1wayroadAccel.]

the reason why i use sniper in most of the fps games is due to Piers😢

not sure if intentional, Nevan was a weapon in Devil May Cry, that used electricity, Pierce Nivans has a name that sounds like Nevan, has lightning mutation, and an arm that looks a tiny bit like the devil arm Nevan

Chris and piers are pretty much like Marcus and Dom from gears of war and it's so good and hopefully Piers somehow survived and the virus mutated within his body thus allowing him to control it and will return to aid his brother in arms and become another successful superhuman with extraordinary abilities like Jill Sherry Jake ada and Wesker.

[@Dt-2030]

yes, i agree, Piers & Dom died protecting their brothers in arms Piers died because he knew he was gonna die otherwise, so he went out a hero to the B.S.A.A Dom died because he his family is dead and the only one member left was Marcus, so he went out a hero to the C.O.G both deaths of Dom & Piers are sad (Dom's death was even more sad, and i refused to skip the cutscenes because their both wholesome characters, caring about their friends)

Piers Nivans is the most annoying character in the series. There is nothing dumber than to poke a phone in the face of a person suffering from amnesia, depression and alcoholism, send him to a war zone as a squad leader, and then criticize him in front of his subordinates, breaking the chain of command. Throughout the story, he finds fault with others and takes offense whenever his actions are criticized. The last thing he did was disobey an order. As a result he died. An elite military academy? Really? In the real world, such a soldier would not even be accepted into the Boy Scouts.

[@SymbioteVenom-f9i]

He died as a real solider who protected and let chris live you can say what you want about piers but piers will always be the hero along with fin and the other soliders tol
