Albert Wesker

He is wearing a dark navy-blue shirt with the collar unbuttoned. The sleeves are rolled up to the elbows, which gives the outfit a more relaxed yet confident look.

Over the shirt, he wears a fitted dark gray vest with buttons. It highlights his athletic build and makes the outfit look more elegant.

He is wearing classic gray trousers that match the vest.

Brown leather shoulder holsters/straps are worn over his shoulders, resembling a tactical harness. This adds a dangerous, "agent-like" feel to his appearance.

He is also wearing narrow black sunglasses, making him look colder and more serious.

His blond hair is neatly slicked back with volume.

He hates weak people and believes most humans are inferior. Wesker cannot stand failure. When something goes wrong, he becomes extremely angry and impatient. He hates losing control over situations or people. He dislikes anyone who disobeys him or interferes with his plans. He especially hates Chris Redfield because Chris repeatedly ruined his goals and challenged him directly. He also dislikes Jill Valentine, since she constantly stood against him and survived despite his attempts to stop her. Wesker hates being underestimated or treated as an ordinary person. He cannot tolerate betrayal, even though he often betrays others himself. He dislikes emotional weakness and rarely shows genuine emotions. He hates the idea of being powerless or dependent on someone else. He becomes irritated when people question his intelligence or authority. He dislikes chaos that he cannot control. He prefers everything to follow his plans perfectly. Wesker hates the limitations of normal humanity and sees human emotions as flaws. He cannot tolerate people who stand in the way of his vision of a "perfect world." He dislikes recklessness and incompetence, especially from allies working for him. He hates being reminded that, despite his power, he is not completely invincible. Wesker also dislikes people who act morally superior to him, especially heroes who believe they can "save humanity." He becomes furious when someone escapes from him or survives against impossible odds. Deep down, he fears losing his superiority and becoming weak like ordinary humans again.

He loves control and power. Wesker hates being weaker than anyone and always wants to dominate others.

• He considers himself a "perfect human" and believes ordinary humanity is weak and should disappear. He enjoys experiments, viruses, and scientific research, especially anything connected to improving humans. He loves manipulating people. He rarely does the dirty work himself and usually uses others to achieve his goals. He almost always stays calm. Even in dangerous situations, he speaks in a cold and confident manner. He is extremely arrogant. Wesker believes he is smarter and better than almost everyone around him. He wears dark sunglasses almost all the time. They became one of his most recognizable features and make him look more mysterious. He likes black clothing and a strict style: long coats, gloves, leather outfits, and expensive suits. He cannot stand Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine because they constantly interfered with his plans. His main enemy is Chris. Their rivalry became deeply personal. Wesker is highly intelligent: he is a scientist, strategist, and skilled fighter at the same time.
• After experiments with a virus, he gained superhuman strength, speed, and reflexes. He moves in a very calm and almost inhuman way, which makes him seem even more intimidating. He has very little sympathy for people. He can easily betray or kill anyone for his own goals. Despite his cold personality, he has an enormous ego and almost a "god complex." He wants to decide who deserves to live. His speech is usually calm, precise, and almost military-like. The developers intentionally made his manner of speaking unnaturally cold and controlled. He is one of the few villains in Resident Evil 5 who looks both elegant and terrifying at the same time.

Albert Wesker is a tall man with a very cold and intimidating appearance. He looks neat and almost perfect, which makes him even more frightening. He has pale skin, sharp facial features, and blond hair, usually slicked back. His hairstyle always looks perfectly styled, without a single strand out of place. His eyes are light-colored, but most of the time they are hidden behind dark sunglasses, which became one of his most recognizable features. Because of the glasses, his face looks even more emotionless and mysterious. Wesker usually wears black clothing: long leather coats, dark turtlenecks, gloves, and strict suits. His style looks expensive, elegant, and almost military-like, emphasizing control and authority. Even when he is simply standing still, he gives off a threatening presence - his posture is confident, and his movements are calm and precise. In later parts of the series, especially in Resident Evil 5, his appearance becomes even less human: his skin looks paler, his eyes sometimes glow, and his expression becomes almost predatory. Despite this, he still keeps his elegance and composure, making him look like a "perfect" and extremely dangerous person.

With the research data on bio-organic weapons, as well as the data on their combat capabilities obtained in the mansion, Wesker could count on a high position in the mysterious organization opposing Umbrella, which is known as " The Organization". Trying to preserve the cover story of his death, Wesker preferred to keep a low profile, working as a go-between for spies and the opposition organization. When a T-virus outbreak broke out in Raccoon City , he sent an agent named Ada Wong to retrieve a sample of the G-virus hidden in the locket of William's only daughter, Sherry . To the delight of Wesker and the opposition organization, Ada was able to retrieve the virus sample.

Albert discovered Sergei Vladimir downloading data to UMF-013 and that the Red Queen had blocked his access to the mainframe. Vowing revenge on the surviving S.T.A.R.S. members, Sergei, and the Red Queen, Wesker made his way out of the mansion, encountering infected along the way, who quickly died thanks to Albert's new powers. Wesker hoped that Jill and Chris would live long enough to see him again. Near the elevator in the mansion, he encountered Lisa Trevor. Believing the STARS fighters had dealt with Lisa back in the catacombs, Wesker couldn't have expected her appearance. He managed to overpower her with the words, "No one's perfect, not even you, Lisa," and then departed in the elevator. Afterward, Lisa rose from the ground, still alive. A desire for revenge against the man who had experimented on her was born in the remnants of her mind. Reaching the mansion, she encountered Wesker again in the hallway. He knew he had to hurry, as the timer was ticking inexorably. Albert decided to find another way instead of wasting time on her. Fighting his way through hordes of infected, Wesker fought Lisa several times, who continued to doggedly pursue him. At one point, Wesker even joked, "She must like me." He now understood why they called her immortal: he had used every weapon at his disposal, but it hadn't brought her down. Eventually, she suddenly stopped pursuing Wesker, as if she had decided to surrender. However, when he returned to the hall, he found her there, now hiding behind a column in the corner. Lisa attacked Wesker again, and, tired of this, he decided it was time to grant her the eternal peace she so desired. Using his abilities, he managed to dodge her attacks.

The next day, all contact with Bravo Team was lost, and Alpha Team, led by Wesker, was dispatched to search for them. Upon arrival, the team was attacked by Cerberus, and pilot Brad Vickers abandoned his comrades to face the monsters. Having lost Joseph Frost to the Cerberus, the surviving Alpha Team members took refuge in the mansion where Albert had previously worked. Ordering everyone to split up and search the mansion, Wesker vanished, leaving Chris, Jill , and Barry alone with the local flora and fauna. Of the nine STARS members who entered the mansion, only four Alpha Team members (including Wesker) and three from Bravo Team ( Enrico Marini , Richard Aiken , and Rebecca Chambers ) survived the mansion, which was teeming with various monsters. To ensure that none of the group survived the night, Wesker used Barry to lure the others into traps, blackmailing him with threats against his family. When Enrico discovered evidence incriminating Wesker and proving his ties to Umbrella, Wesker killed him. However, Chris and Jill eventually discovered the truth and were able to thwart Wesker's plans, destroying both the T-002 Tyrant and the mansion. During these events, Wesker injected himself with the prototype virus he received from William Birkin. Allowing the Tyrant to "kill" him, Wesker gained superhuman strength, agility, and regenerative abilities after the virus reanimated his body. However, by this point, Wesker was no longer human (as a result of the mutation, Wesker's eyes became feline-like with a golden-red tint, though this was not immediately noticeable due to his sunglasses). Wesker revived, though other S.T.A.R.S. operatives believed he had been killed by the Tyrant. After his resurrection, he realized that the Tyrant himself had been destroyed, and his former comrades had escaped the mansion alive. Wesker collected the research data and escaped.

Two years after the formation of STARS, reports of murders in the Arklay forests, allegedly committed by cannibals, began surfacing. While locals trembled in fear, dreaming up horror stories about some cult, only Umbrella knew the truth about the real killers. To reassure the public, STARS' Bravo team was dispatched to the scene to investigate. Wesker decided to use this opportunity to gather information on the combat effectiveness of bio-organic weapons, setting them directly on the STARS soldiers. To ensure that no one from Bravo survived or returned, he sabotaged their helicopter's engine. At the same time, Wesker and Birkin were ordered to reactivate the training and research facility, but the "suddenly revived" Dr. Marcus prevented them from doing so. They had no choice but to destroy the facility, and Wesker realized this was the perfect moment to "retire" from the corporation and put his plans into action. After destroying the T-001, Wesker met Colonel Sergei Vladimir , head of Umbrella's biohazard countermeasures unit and a man Spencer trusted. When asked where he was headed, Wesker simply replied, "On my next mission." Sergei reminded him that the training and research facility was "his mission." Wesker noted that most of the facility had already been infected with the T-virus and that he intended to destroy it, as it was now unusable. Sergei believed that Wesker couldn't act arbitrarily without permission from his superiors. But the colonel didn't know that Wesker was already preparing to bid Umbrella farewell. Sergei decided to punish Wesker and remind him who was boss, giving his personal bodyguard, Ivan, the opportunity to deal with him. Wesker, for his part, viewed the fight with Ivan as a form of entertainment and a chance to test his strength against a bio-organic weapon. As Ivan prepared to strike again, an explosion rocked the training facility above them.

Wesker gained much notoriety largely due to his attempt to infect the world with the Ouroboros virus. After his death, Ouroboros was acquired by Alex , who continued research on the virus and later used it on Seim Island.

Some say the virus made him smarter and gave him a youthful appearance, despite being 48 years old. However, the virus itself was extremely unstable, requiring Wesker to periodically use a special serum to keep it under control. Ironically, this serum was also his greatest weakness. If injected with more than the required dose, the serum acted like a poison (unfortunately, Wesker didn't live long enough to learn how to reverse this effect). Overdoses caused his vision to blur, his superhuman agility to gradually fade (though there was still enough left to dodge some attacks), and veins in his scalp began to appear, causing severe headaches. However, his self-healing abilities seemed to remain intact, as evidenced by his lack of concern over Sheva's gunshot wounds to the head and his survival after falling from a great height, despite being weakened. Visible results of gaining superpowers include Wesker's ability to lift and throw rockets with one hand, remove metal beams from himself, lift an adult human into the air with one hand without much effort, the ability to pierce a person's body with just his fingers, kill a Chimera bio-organic weapon with one blow, send someone flying with an uppercut, and the ability to pierce the steel casing of a rocket. Self-healing coupled with incredible endurance made him practically invulnerable to conventional damage: a rocket exploding right in his hands only weakened him, and a pile of metal beams falling from a height of several stories did not even break anything, only slightly disorientated him, and that's not to mention the fact that the terrible burns on his face quickly disappeared, as if nothing had happened. Having absorbed a large amount of Ouroboros from the rocket, he became even less susceptible to damage, stronger, his regenerative ability increased, and finally, he could jump high and over enormous distances.

Before injecting himself with the prototype virus obtained from William Birkin, Wesker was already a master of martial arts, and thanks to his composure, he didn't even blink in the face of hordes of monsters ( Ivan , Lisa Trevor, the proto-Tyrant, the mutated Sergei Vladimir, and countless unnamed mutants). After using the prototype, Wesker allowed the T-002 Tyrant to kill him. Thanks to the previously injected virus, Albert gained superhuman powers and abilities, including super-speed and reflexes, superhuman agility, endurance, strength, and regeneration. Wesker wasn't shy about using them, and even enjoyed intimidating his enemies. The virus made him virtually invulnerable: his bones, internal organs, bodily tissue, and skin became so hard that any attempt to strike him or force him into hand-to-hand combat ended in broken limbs. This is clearly seen in Resident Evil 5, when attempting to attack Wesker in hand-to-hand combat: if you hit him with your fist, Chris's face will contort into a grimace of pain, and he will shake the hand he hit with. The obvious advantages of accelerated movements and reflexes, enhanced vision, and agility include the ability to virtually effortlessly dodge bullets fired at point-blank range (including fire from rapid-fire weapons, double-action weapons, grenades, and rockets). Furthermore, he could run for vast distances in a short period of time (roughly the same as using a car), and he could also cling to walls or ceilings like a spider (as demonstrated during the fight with Chris and Sheva aboard the bomber), not to mention short dashes performed at such speeds that the human brain simply couldn't process them (giving him the sensation of teleporting).

Albert Wesker is an intelligent, power-hungry, and incredibly cunning man who lusted for power and control over the world. Previously, he was an employee of the Umbrella Corporation and was considered one of its most promising researchers. He also worked undercover as a Raccoon City police officer and the head of the special forces unit STARS . Albert is one of the main antagonists of the series. Betraying his allies to further his own plans, Wesker faked his death, gaining superhuman abilities through the Progenitor virus , and subsequently worked with both a mysterious Umbrella rival and the TRICELL corporation. Wesker became the first person to be the living embodiment of Oswell Spencer's dream : to transform the entire human race into superhumans and become "gods" in a new world. Apparently due to his upbringing and Spencer's influence, Albert became dishonest and power-hungry. He preferred to observe events from the sidelines, ready to strike at the right moment. He also demonstrated a keen ability to betray anyone who trusted him if it would further his own goals. Above all, all his actions were motivated by a desire to understand Spencer's motives, as well as a vague sense of something "programmed" by Ozwell himself, ensuring that all the children of the Wesker Project would find him when the time came. Soon after learning the full truth about himself, Albert became consumed with delusions of his own divinity. He also began to believe in certain aspects of Darwinian theory, particularly the idea that only the strongest will survive in this world. This man's distinctive features were dark sunglasses concealing his bestial, demonic eyes (though it is known that before the mutation, he had a gray-blue tint to his irises), and light, neatly slicked-back hair, the shade of which varied over time from light brown to almost platinum. It can also be noted that all of his clothing, with the exception of his "STARS" uniform and lab coat, is dark in color.

Early Years and Umbrella Albert was born to intellectually gifted parents. He and hundreds of other children like him were selected for the Wesker Program, where they were raised by the Umbrella Corporation and given the surname Wesker. Albert stood out among the other children, which greatly pleased Umbrella founder Ozwell Spencer. He saw in Albert a potential that the other participants in the project lacked. It's no surprise that under the watchful eye of his "creator," and unaware of Spencer's intentions and his origins, Albert became not just an employee of the corporation that raised him, but one of the most promising. Wesker began working as a researcher for the international pharmaceutical corporation Umbrella at the age of seventeen. In 1977, he was sent to a training and research facility run by Dr. James Marcus . There, he met William Birkin , his future friend, rival, and colleague for many years to come. Marcus considered them both his best students and the only ones he could trust. When the facility was closed on July 29, 1978, Albert and William were transferred to the Arklay Laboratories, where they were appointed chief scientists. Upon arrival, the head of the laboratories handed Wesker a folder containing information on the Ebola virus, which had been discovered in Africa two years earlier. The Arklay laboratories were reportedly searching for an Ebola vaccine, but in reality, Umbrella was interested in the virus's mortality rate, data from which they intended to use in developing the T-virus , which was also being researched there. In 1996, Wesker joined the newly formed local police special forces unit "STARS," working as a double agent, collecting and reporting information on all police investigations to Umbrella. There, he noticed the abilities of one of the STARS members, Chris Redfield.
