Baker family

The Baker family consists of fictional characters featured in Capcom's ''Resident Evil'' video game series. First appearing in ''Resident Evil 7: Biohazard'', its main family members are a nuclear family consisting of married couple Jack and Marguerite and their two adult children, Lucas and Zoe. Inspired by characters from seminal films in horror cinema such as ''The Shining'', ''The Evil Dead'', and ''The Texas Chain Saw Massacre'', the Bakers reside within their bayou estate in the fictional parish of Dulvey, Louisiana in the United States. Within the game's narrative, they are under the influence of Eveline, a biologically engineered being who "adopted" herself into the Baker family, granting the family superhuman powers at the expense of twisting most of them into insane and murderous individuals prior to the events of ''Resident Evil 7'', with the exception of Zoe who retains a benevolent personality. The 2017 ''Resident Evil 7: End of Zoe'' DLC features Joe Baker, a member from the extended family who is unaffected by Eveline, as its protagonist.

The Baker family has had a mostly positive reception from video game publications. Most commentators praised members of the Baker family as effective antagonists in ''Resident Evil 7'', as well as the tragic backstory behind the descent of its members into villainous roles. Provided by Wikipedia
