Corrected entry: Throughout the game, the Los Illuminados attempt to abduct Ashley from Leon, since she is the key to their plan, but in certain areas they'll actually attempt to kill her. This is most noticeable where there are chainsaw maniacs, the giant drilling machine trap or the armaduras that Ashley encounters while trying to reach Leon.

Correction: They have no doubt been instructed to capture her alive, but most of them are hardly coherent enough to obey commands.
