Spencer's Terrifying Conspiracy

One of the most devastating killers of human beings ever known to man is the Ebola virus. There is still no cure for this nightmarish disease, which boasts a fatality rate so high it threatened to wipeout mankind. After witnessing this potential for devastation, mankind took measures by signing an international treaty prohibiting the use of viral weapons in warfare. The Biological Weapons Convention was put into effect and was upheld. However, this was broken by one man's ambition.

No word is more fitting for Ozwell E.Spencer, the founder of the Umbrella Corporation, than "tyrant." When the Progenitor Virus was discovered, he immediately expanded his company's connections and even gained influence in the United States government. Spencer's ambition matched that of Adolf Hitler and he quietly took the world into his own hands. Those affiliated with Umbrella were too busy chasing after their own profits and personal gain to see this ambition and without realizing it, they led the world into chaos. Without a doubt, that was just what Spencer wanted.

The T-Virus research he pushed forward was a one-way ticket to Hell. Using human beings in experiments and spreading the virus would create zombies and other B.O.W. would turn Raccoon City into a giant test tube. He didn't care how many people's lives he threw away in pursuit of test results. He would even use those he called friends.

In the Raccoon City Underground Research Facility, the DNA of Lisa Trevor, who was used as a test subject in the Arklay Research Facility, enabled further development of the G-Virus. However, its head of development, William Birkin, wanted to monopolize the project and acted without authorization. Spencer ordered Umbrella's elite special forced unit to obtain the G-Virus. Due to the actions of one team member, HUNK, Spencer was able to obtain a capsule containing the virus and continue researching it. As a result of the American government's decision to sterilize the quarantined Raccoon City, any evidence of his evil deeds were lost. But did the destruction of the city really bring an end to the nightmare? After all, as long as Umbrella still exists, there can be no doubt that somewhere they are continuing their experiments and hatching a new breed of evil.

The Betrayed and Sorrowful Scientist Marcus

The first director of Umbrella's Management Training Facility, Dr. James Marcus's life of research yeilded nothing but failure. He was not counted among the discoverers of the Progenitor Virus, nor considered a founding member of Umbrella. He had next to no authority in the corporation. Spencer alone held the real power. Dr Marcus was half forced into the Umbrella Management Training Facility. Even though he was aware he was being used, he threw himself into his research to complete a new type of T-Virus.

However, when Dr. Marcus's research bore fruit, it gave Spencer the chance he had been waiting for. A man Dr. Marcus trusted, Albert Wesker and William Birkin stabbed him in the back. Then, the results achieved by Marcus were stolen and used to push Spencer's own research ahead, even though Dr. Marcus's main reason for continuing his research was his violent opposition to Spencer.

Dr Marcus was able to use the T-Virus to further his research on mutated leeches and create his own B.O.W. He believed that was the best way to take revenge on Spencer. However, in 1998, before he could complete his research, his life was taken by Wesker in exchange for Spencer's money. After 10 years, the closure of the training facility buried the research on mutant leeches. The body of Dr. Marcus rotted away in the waters of the gloomy research facility.

Ten years later, a biologically impossible phenomenon took place in the management training facility. The queen leech born from Dr. Marcus's experiments permanently molded itself to DNA taken from his remains, birthing his clone. The copy even reflected Dr. Marcus's will and his desire for revenge on Spencer. His first act was to use the mutant leeches to infect the Ecliptic Express train, which transported Umbrella employees throughout the Arklay Mountain Range. It was a display of terrifying power. However, the queen leech merely copied the mind of Dr. Marcus and upon transforming its physical state, lost all senses of sentience. It became just another creature about to meet its final demise...

Albert Wesker

Former S.T.A.R.S. leader Albert Wesker is behind all of the virus planning to date and his behavior is always veiled in mystery.

After being nominated to manage the Umbrella Management Training Facility in the 70's, he was one of the foremost researchers to work on the virus. However, even while consistently following orders handed down by the general director, Ozwell E. Spencer, Wesker was developing a plan to meet his own personal ambitions. "I'll surpass Umbrella." Even while rubbing shoulders with colleagues who were content to work under the company Umbrella, Wesker wanted to stand on top of the world. To achieve this ambition, he had no qualms about making whatever sacifices he deemed necessary and carried out many plans that did just that. The first of these was to forcefully take over the fruits of James Marcus's initial research. By stealing the virus and claiming it as his own, Wesker ensured himself a spot directly under Spencer. However, upon learning that William Birkin was close to completing his virus research, Wesker switched to the Information Department and began acting with greater urgency than before. He had already become one of the leaders of S.T.A.R.S., but this was only to hide his true motives. In the final stages of his plan, he used the disaster at Arklay to his own advantage. After guiding his subordinates to the mansion, he secretly went off to collect data on the nearly perfected B.O.W.s that had been developed there. His true identity was found out by Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine, but in the confusion surrounding the Tyrant, he escaped. He went to work for one of Umbrella's rival companies, bringing with him all the live battle data he had collected.

Wesker wasted no time plotting out his next move. His new goal would be to acquire the G-Virus. His aim was to take away everything he possibly could from his rival and former colleague, William Birkin. He secretly received help from the spy Ada Wong, right before the disaster and subsequent bombing of Raccoon City and acquired a sample of the G-Virus. Seven months after Raccoon City was destroyed, he infiltrated the Antarctic base and stole the T-Veronica virus that had been developed by Alexia Ashford. This is how Wesker acquired three different viruses that could shake the foundations of the modern world. However, this alone isn't enough to satisfy this power-hungry man. He will undoubtedly reveal himself in the near future, in his quest to stand on top of the world.
