for his parents with Kasumi. In the film version, we learn that Tim's parents are divorced and in the midst of a less-than-amicable custody battle over him, something that upsets him greatly. Ron is a black police officer from the US. The most physically strong of the survivors, he was something of a fatalist, frequently lamenting on how hopeless the situation was and how useless struggling to survive would be. Despite his lack of optimism, he nevertheless tried to escape with his life, though he refused to enter Level 4 and was left behind, his leg injured.
