The Wiki of the Dead

I'm tired of people close to me being a victim.

Ryan Taylor (ライアン・テイラー, Raian Teirā?) is the brother of the late James Taylor, and a rookie agent of the now-defunct American government organization AMS. Guided by fellow agent Kate Green, he investigated a plot to decimate humanity with biologically-engineered creatures in Scarecrow Manor. He is one of the main protagonists of House of the Dead: Scarlet Dawn.

Biography

Ryan respected his brother James, an AMS agent who sacrificed himself to foil a 2003 bioterrorist plot by Caleb Goldman.[1][2] At some point in time, Ryan became an AMS agent himself.[1]

2006 Scarecrow Manor investigation

Main article: House of the Dead: Scarlet Dawn

On December 6, 2006, Ryan was dispatched for an undercover investigation of "Code R" at Scarecrow Manor, with agent Kate Green joining him. After the party host unleashed creatures upon reception guests, the agents battled through the manor. Among the creatures they defeated were Chariot, Hangedman, and High Priestess. Ryan feared that he would die like James.[3]

Ryan and Kate found evidence revealing that the party host, Thornheart, was affiliated with Goldman and Dr. Curien, and is devising a scheme named "Noah's Ark". The agents confronted Thornheart in a church, but he escaped as a massive creature, Moon, emerged. Realizing that Moon was impervious to gunfire, Ryan impaled it with a giant metal rod, causing the creature to be fatally zapped by lightning. Kate believed that this was James himself intervening from the dead.[3]

Shortly after, Ryan told Kate that he is tired of people close to him being victimized. Kate reminded him of James' motto: "No sacrifices anymore. It's too late for regrets. Something like that."[4]

Personality

Although courageous, Ryan is at times naive and reckless, often quipping at the creatures (such as calling the Chariot "big boy"). He is more somber over James' death, expressing frustration that people close to him have been victimized. He fears sharing a similar fate.

Appearance

Ryan has short black hair and hazel-blue eyes. He wears a white shirt with long sleeves, a black/gray waist jacket, a black tie with gold stripes, black leather gloves, navy-blue pants and black shoes. 

Trivia

  • In Scarlet Dawn's Japanese location test, Ryan's voice was different compared to the final version of the game. However, some dialogue from the original location test is still used in the final version.[5]
