Why is Ethan's blood stale?

Ethan's blood tastes "stale" in Resident Evil Village because he's not truly alive; he died years earlier and was reanimated by the Mold, meaning his blood is no longer fresh human blood but contains the parasitic fungal organism, which Lady Dimitrescu, a vampire, finds unpalatable, foreshadowing his true nature as a Mold-controlled being.

Why was Ethan's body falling apart?

Ethan's body was falling apart because the regenerative mold that kept him alive after dying in Resident Evil 7 was failing, overwhelmed by massive cumulative damage and ultimately losing its connection to the Megamycete source after the final confrontation with Mother Miranda in Resident Evil Village, causing his mold-based cells to rapidly break down and decompose, especially after Miranda ripped out his heart.

Why is Ethan Winter's face never shown?

Ethan Winters' face is hidden in Resident Evil 7 and Village primarily for player immersion, making him a relatable "everyman" self-insert, but also as a narrative mystery and a recurring joke, with his face actually being modeled but obscured by design choices like darkness, shadows, and awkward camera angles, even appearing briefly and mysteriously in the Shadows of Rose DLC.

Why did Ethan become mold?

Ethan Winters became "mold" because he was infected by the Mold fungus from Eveline at the start of Resident Evil 7, dying and being reanimated as a fungal being, essentially replacing his cells with mold while retaining his consciousness due to Eveline wanting a "dad," which granted him superhuman regeneration but also made him a host for the Mold, fully revealed in Resident Evil Village. His seemingly miraculous recovery and ability to reattach limbs (like his hand) were signs of this cellular fungal replacement, not normal human healing.
