Albert Wesker has a remarkable mind, lust for power, very cunning. Wants to rule over the whole world. Previously, he worked for a corporation called Umbrella, and certain hopes were pinned on him. To achieve his goals, he betrayed his own allies without any remorse. After that, he applied the prototype virus and received superpowers. He is such an epic character that he could not be overlooked when filming films about Umbrella.
He was born in 1960, his parents were intellectuals. There was a program that was called "Wesker", as a result of which he received this name. The Umbrella Corporation selected such children and carried out gene manipulations with them in order to spur the evolution of mankind.
Founder Ozwell Spencer singled out Albertamong the rest. This comrade had a fixed idea that one day people will become superhuman. He made Albert an employee. At first, he did not know anything about where he came from, what the founder wants. Albert started working at Umbrella when he was 17.
Working with Birkin
Then he was sent to the complex located in Raccoon City, where research and training was carried out, and James Marcus was in charge of this complex. There, William Birkin and Albert first met and became friends. Marcus was very proud of both and trusted only them. Friends began to work in laboratories.
When they arrived there, the head of the laboratories gave them a folder containing all available information on the Ebola virus found in Africa. At the same time, the public was told that laboratories were looking for a vaccine against this very virus. However, in reality, Umbrella was interested in how deadly this virus is. The corporation intended to use the data obtained during the research when the so-called T-virus was developed.
Viruses: T, G, Ouroboros, Veronica
Albert Wesker's biography would be incomplete without mention of these viruses, as he eventually injected himself with the first and later mutated. They are mentioned in Umbrella paintings and games.
Markus created the "Progenitor" (or "Ancestor") virus. Briefly, the story is this: in the 60s, a rare flower called "The Road to the Sun" was discovered. Spencer discovered it by references in one tribe. Then he built a mansion, where he hid the laboratory. The building's architect, George Trevor, his wife and daughter Lisa are the first test subjects.
Next, Marcus took the DNA of a leech and crossed it with Ancestor, resulting in the "Tyrant" virus or T-virus. At the same time, the "Tyrant" has the ability to change cells and can control the simplest functions, even if the carrier dies, until the brain dies. People infected with the T-virus have gained superpowers, but they need energy to function, which is why they attacked others.
Then, using a sample extracted from Lisa, William discovered another type of this virus, called G. If "Tyrant" caused a random mutation, then G caused its carrier to develop into a creature that could reproduce itself. The carrier had new limbs, additional eyes could grow. Unlike "Tyrant", "G" revived, not killed.
Albert Wesker created "Ouroboros" from "Ancestor", cherishing the dream to inject the virus into humans and expect someone to survive the infiltration and become superpowers.
Creator of "Veronica" is Alexia Ashford, while the infected can retain their intelligence. So named because the genes of Veronica's family ancestor were used.
S. T. A. R. S
The police created a special unit called S. T. A. R. S., where Wesker went to work, but he collected information and passed it on to Umbrella.
When the Arklay Tyrant broke free in the woods, steelvarious murders occur, and everyone thought they were cannibals. Let's go for a walk about the cult, in order to calm people down, they sent a group of "Bravo" from this unit. In fact, Albert Wesker knew perfectly well that these were not cannibals at all, but biological weapons, and decided to test it in action. He went with the unit and had the Tyrant attack the fighters.
Exactly in S. T. A. R. S. Albert Wesker and Jill Valentine met, she was Albert's subordinate.
He took part in the outing of the group into the forest, where he staged a diversion. 2 people were able to locate the research facility where Albert receives a strain of the virus from Birkin. It was administered to all participants of the Wesker project, but not all of them were able to survive.
Wesker met Colonel Sergei, Spencer's confidant, to whom he told that a virus was rampant in the complex and that the building could not be used, and the colonel could not even imagine that Wesker could act without instructions from his superiors. Albert was able to escape and joined the Alpha team sent in search of the Bravo. The group is attacked by Cerberus and "Alpha" takes refuge in Spencer's mansion. There, Wesker staged his death - injected himself with a virus, actually received super strength, regeneration and became very dexterous. He further mutated, although others thought he was dead. Having taken all the data on the study, he fled. It was then that Jill learned that their captain was a traitor and was working for the Umbrella Corporation.
AfterAfter Raccoon City was razed to the ground by the Infested, she swore an oath to end Umbrella once and for all. This is what happened in the unfortunate city.
She didn't know she was also infected.
Many thought that Jill also died, but Albert took her. She was immersed in cryogen, after which the "Tyrant" died, but antibodies were released that did not allow her to become infected with this virus again. The data collected was used by Albert to create the Ouroboros.
Games
