Albert Wesker || The Mastermind || DBD

Early life

Little is known of Wesker's childhood, even his real name. It is understood he inherited advantageous genes relating to intelligence from his parents. Taken from his parents at a young age by agents of Oswell E. Spencer, Earl Spencer, he was raised in one of perhaps several homes funded by the Spencer Foundation. This was to serve as the first stage of a eugenics project, which sought to raise a group of likeminded, gifted intellectuals who could, in the future, be infected with a stabilized variant of the Progenitor Virus and entrusted with its superhuman effects. The children, all named "Wesker" after the project leader, were raised to share Spencer's values, harbouring particular disdain for war and pestilence, believing humans to be an evolutionary dead-end in need of order, deliverance and rebirth. In this regard, he stood out before the other Weskers for his absolute ambition in these aspects. To guarantee they reach their potential, each Wesker was raised in an environment that would allow them to receive the best education possible. The children went into different fields of study, with Albert pursuing an education and career in biotechnology.[10] Umbrella career Arklay Staff picture REmake Wesker with the members of the t-Virus Project staff at the Arklay Lab.Having been head-hunted by the Spencer Foundation for his promising grades, Wesker was hired by Umbrella Pharmaceuticals in 1977. With the intent on indoctrinating him and other child prodigies, he was given a place at a company-run boarding school, the Umbrella Executive Training Center, with a lesson program built to indoctrinate these children with the aggressive and inhuman values required to advance Umbrella's viral weapons research.[11] The class of 1978 was criticized by the Deputy Director for being lackluster, with the exception of Wesker and the sixteen year old Dr. William Birkin, who showed a combination of talent and a ruthless character that would do well for the company. Dr. James M

Early life

As a workaround, the two were able to get a favor from Spencer to obtain an intelligent B.O.W. parasite engineered by Umbrella Europe; the parasite, dubbed Nemesis Alpha, could solve the problem by hijacking a B.O.W.'s body and follow complex orders from trainers. The parasite was inserted into the body of a mutant human test subject, Lisa Trevor, to observe its reactions. When the parasite was killed by Trevor's immune system, this led to the discovery of Golgotha Virus,[14] and Dr. Birkin's transfer away from the facility to NEST. Wesker also decided to leave the laboratory behind, confused about Spencer's motives in approving and funding Golgotha, as it was already seen as worthless for bio-weapons development. He took up employment with their intelligence bureau to find answers. Over the course of the 1990s, Wesker was able to gain new employment with other groups by officially being an ex-Umbrella employee. From around 1991 he served with the US Army where his biotechnology experience proved useful to the US military as an engineering officer. This was likely for the Pentagon's illegal bio-weapons project running, though his career in this time is classified.[7] The military was presumably unaware of his work as a mole. Around this time, Wesker entered into a sexual relationship with a Serbian woman immigrant from Edonia whose last name was Muller, but lost interest soon after, unaware she was pregnant with his child. Following his Army career, Wesker was reassigned by Umbrella in 1996 to serve in S.T.A.R.S., a private-funded police special forces unit in Raccoon City. The Special Tactics and Rescue Service was effectively Umbrella's private army, nominally raised to deal with the increasing threat of domestic terrorism in the American heartland, and earning them a direct source within the Raccoon Police Department should an investigation linger uncomfortably close to the company.[16] He was made Captain of the Alpha Team and given seniority over Captain E

Betrayal (1998)

The Spring and Summer of 1998 saw considerable upset to Umbrella in Raccoon City. The new ε strain infected a number of staff at the Arklay Laboratory in May, prompting a quarantine of the staff while its guards made preparations to shoot all escapees. Wesker and Birkin personally visited the lab shortly after the alarm was raised to evacuate the cloned embryos of the T-002 Tyrant, one of Umbrella's most important assets. Wesker also gave orders to forbid phone calls in order to limit the spread of information. Escaped Cerberus B.O.W.s did however escape their cages and began killing and attacking civilians in Raccoon Forest, with infected survivors going on to kill others. By July the number of killings had surpassed 20 civilians in what the RPD theorized to be the work of a cult. Unable to locate suspects and/or any logical motives public outcry grew to fever pitch. After the lack of results of an extensive dragnet by Raccoon Police and[19] after press backlash, the RPD assigned the case to S.T.A.R.S. No longer able to manage the situation from within,[20] Umbrella HQ produced the "X-Day" plans, giving Wesker a series of tasks to perform during the mission. He received orders to sacrifice S.T.A.R.S. to the mutants to provide combat data, eliminating them as witnesses; to collect the remaining B.O.W. embryos, and to finally destroy the Arklay Laboratory itself to wipe out all trace of the virus.[21] On 23 July, Wesker sabotaged the engine of Bravo Team's helicopter, which would prevent their escape and require Alpha Team's subsequent investigation.[22][23] Wesker and Birkin plans Wesker and Birkin planning to leave Umbrella. During the S.T.A.R.S. preparation, Wesker and Birkin also had other duties with the company, and was to oversee the re-opening of the executive training school,[24] possibly to make up for the loss of the Arklay Laboratory. An attack by a nascent mutant leech colony destroyed two armed investigation teams and infected the occupants of a p

The Organization (1998-2003)

Still maintaining the illusion of death, Wesker avoided showing himself publicly and instead took to being the contact between the organization and its spies.[31] When Dr. Birkin completed Golgotha, the organisation made plans to steal it, and Wesker played a role as an external contact between the group and their spy, Ada Wong, the other being a liaison based within the Apple Inn.[31] With the t-Virus outbreak slowing down Wong's investigation, the liaison killed himself to avoid turning into a Zombie. Through a computer feed, Wesker took over the liaison's role and waited for Wong's arrival on 1 October.When she confirmed the retrieval of a Golgotha sample, Wesker directed her to an Umbrella helicopter ferrying Col. Vladimir and an executive out of the city,[31] which she hitched a ride on to escape the bombing.[32] Following the acquisition of Golgotha, the organisation began sending their paramilitary group, H.C.F., out on raids to Umbrella bases to recover data and bioweapons samples. Wesker led a raid on Rockfort Island in December 1998. Remembering Alexia Ashford's research on t-Veronica, the Ashford-owned island was a logical place to begin the search. Saboteurs arrived on the island ahead of the main assault and planted explosives within the military training center, which released a t-Virus strain into the ecosystem as well as releasing B.O.W.s. Much of the island's infrastructure was destroyed in the subsequent bombing by H.C.F.'s aircraft, followed by the deployment of special teams searching for the t-Veronica samples, of which Wesker took direct involvement. They were unsuccessful in locating samples on the island, though Wesker did discover Claire Redfield, Chris' younger sister, had been taken captive by Umbrella and imprisoned in its concentration camp. Chris arrived the following day, looking for her. Wesker was interrupted on both occasions when about to kill them, and soon after left the island for a submarine after discovering Alexia was al

Partnership with Tricell (2003-2009)

Within months of the raid on the Caucasus laboratory, Wesker found his use for the Umbrella Archives in Excella Gionne, a geneticist employed by Tricell who, like him, held a low opinion of others outside of their use as work.Providing Gionne with in-depth information on the t-Virus Project, her career was excelled and, with it, Tricell's bioweapons development project, and soon she became the CEO of Tricell Inc, Africa, where she became the de facto chief of bioweapons development.[41] The two became close business partners, with Gionne being trustworthy to the point of knowing his need for a medicine, PG67A/W, and though having a sexual attraction towards him these feelings were not reciprocated.[42] Wesker overseeing Ada progress Wesker oversees Ada's progress in retrieving the Plaga. At some point prior to mid-2004, Wesker and the organization learned of the cult Los Iluminados and their usage and experimentation of the Plaga parasite via Ada Wong. Who had intercepted an email for help by one of the cult's head researchers, Luis Serra, to a friend he had meet at university that, unknown to him, had since perished. With Wong still having access to their email account.[43] Initially dispatching his own disciple, Jack Krauser, to infiltrate the cult and obtain a dominant strain of the plaga for The Organization, and thus circumventing assisting Luis. Krauser was only successful in obtaining one sample of the dominant strain, which he secretly kept for himself, even after helping kidnap the president's daughter, as Saddler did not trust him.[44] At the same time, the business meetings between Wesker and Tricell had come to the attention of The Organization after several leaks occurred that The Organization and Wong were almost certain were caused by Wesker.[45] Suspecting that Wesker would betray them The Organization pushed Wesker to assign Ada to the mission to act as a liaison between The Organization and Luis in order to obtain another sample of the domin

Uroboros completion and death (2009)

Work at the Tricell facility continued for the next two years, taking on more expansive tasks such as the production of missiles designed to release Uroboros into the troposphere; having acquired a stealth bomber from an unknown seller, Wesker planned to some day take off and release the virus around the world to force death or evolution on all mankind.[50] Though Wesker and Gionne ran a tight ship at the Tricell facility, even having the research staff executed upon reaching the final stage of Uroboros research, leaks nonetheless occurred, and the BSAA heard rumours of a doomsday project called Uroboros and Valentine being alive, but had no proof to back either up. In March 2009, the BSAA was deployed into the nearby city of Kijuju to detain Irving after he was linked to a local uprising of suspected bio-weapons associations. Redfield and his partner, Sheva Alomar, were successful in killing Irving. While dying, he was willing to give information and directed them to the cavern. There, the two met with Wesker, Gionne and Valentine. Determined to keep everything on schedule despite the setback, Wesker and Gionne departed to a carrier the stealth bomber was hidden aboard. When it was revealed that the two BSAA agents had also boarded it, Wesker infected Gionne herself with Uroboros as a distraction, mutating her and creating a towering monster which caused catastrophic damage to the carrier.[52] Wesker death Wesker's death. Having learnt of Wesker's need for medicine,[53] he was confronted during launch preparation for the stealth bomber and given an overdose of PG67A/W.[54] Weakened but still dangerous, Wesker was able to take off from the carrier and fought the two BSAA agents on board the bomber. When the rear hatch opened up, he was pulled out and, though he made an attempt to take Alomar with him, a gunshot wound sent him falling to the ground. As the stealth bomber was falling to the ground,[55] he was able to survive the fall towards a volcano. With the Urob

Legacy

News of Wesker's death spread through the B.O.W. underworld to several individuals and organizations, including Ada Wong and Alex Wesker.[58] His death left Wong with a slight feeling of emptiness due to such a huge presence vanishing. His death left Alex saddened and lonely as a result of losing someone she regarded as a sibling and equal. She escalated research on her own projects intent on creating another generation of Übermensch, and studied Uroboros samples acquired in Africa either donated by Albert himself or recovered after his death. With Wesker dead and his affiliated organizations collapsed, the U.S. government's protection of Sherry Birkin was no longer necessary and she was released from house arrest under the condition that she become a government agent. Wesker's research findings and a lot of experimental products and data were confiscated from his personal effects after his death and inspected in-house by the rehabilitated Umbrella Co. private military company. Among them was the study of anti-B.O.W. countermeasure weapons and tactics against a variety of viral weapons with total neutralization in mind. He considered not only neutralizing one side's viral weapons, but also situations where neither side possessed viral weapons. Part of the research envisioned combat in an unafflicted state alongside much conceptualizing of practical use by skilled combatants not equipped with weapons of mass destruction such as viruses. In one paper he argued that weapons of mass destruction don't necessarily lead to improving a situation. Posthumously, his illegitimate son, the future mercenary, Jake Muller, inherited Wesker's immunity to viral infections, which gave him protection against mutagenic pathogens such as C-Virus. In 2017, the Umbrella Co. Anti-Bioweapon Development Bureau based in the U.S. developed the "Anti-B.O.W. Arms Albert System Weapon Series" using Wesker's research results. The smallest unit in this series was the Samurai Edge Albert.W.Model 0

Lore(DBD)

Albert Wesker was a high-ranking official in the Umbrella Corporation. While he made great strides with Umbrella, his ambition drove him to betray the corporation. Believing himself the best test subject, he exposed himself to the Prototype virus. Now with superhuman strength, Wesker faked his death and went underground with a new plan: expose the world to Uroboros, a biological weapon that would eliminate the weak and leave only the strong. Wesker began to put his plan to action in Africa but was confronted by members of the Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance at a hangar stocked with missiles carrying Uroboros. Determined to be at the vanguard of evolution, he once again made himself a test subject. Exposing himself to Uroboros, he began to evolve in ways he could have never imagined. But as he felt his cells change, a strange black fog seeped into the hangar and filled his vision. When the fog finally dissipated, he found himself in another world surrounded by lesser beings that deserved to be put out of their misery.
