Talk:Albert Wesker

message: I question this claim. He is arguably the main human antagonist in the original game, but you never actually fight him. Then he isn't in Part 2 or 3 at all. He shows up in Code Veronica but the "main antagonist" label doesn't exactly fit that game either. I don't know much about Part 0 but I know he's basically a "bonus" character in Part 4. I am editing this, please discuss before reverting. --Feitclub 06:23, Apr 11, 2005 (UTC)
Despite the fact that there is difficulty in titling Wesker as the principal villain within the individual scenarios of each games, I believe that he does fulfill the role as the main antagonist. I think the problem with labelling Wesker with this title is that he is not given the status of most archetypal villains (he has been killed and defeated by all of the primary heroes have knowledge of who he is.) Either way, his feud with Chris Redfield (arguably the series primary hero as he is the character that most fans associate with the series) seems to demonstrate his importance as a villain.
-- Jack of Blades
Wesker is not the main antagonist... Ozwell E. Spencer is. Sure, we've never even seen, heard, or have been humanly told about him, but we've read about him and it is no doubt that it was he that started Umbrella, the experiments, the mansion incidents, and everything after. Wesker is just a lackey who thinks he can stray from the pack.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.96.70.139 (talk) 23:50, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  ''Main'' Antagonist? 

message: In the article it mentions that Wesker recieved a fake sample from Ada (as well as other claims). Can someone back this up with evidence?
: Source: Resident Evil 4 (PS2) - Ada's Report - # 5.
:Ada comments on her orders from 'The Organization' to secure the sample, and to send a different present to Wesker instead, because of the discovery of ties between Albert Wesker and another pharmaceutical corporation, S. Mark4011 07:35, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Information about #4 

message: I was doing ok with copyediting till I got to this paragraph:
Wesker bunkered down in a small secure monitoring room, safe from roaming monsters and from his former team. Here, he began leading the others to traps. When the opportunity presented itself, he gained Barry's cooperation by blackmailing him with threats against his family. Wesker was also responsible for the death of Bravo Team's leader, Enrico Marini, after finding the truth, using Barry to get to him. However, Jill and Chris eventually learned the truth about Wesker and proceeded to destroy the Tyrant, along with the underground laboratory. The two, along with Barry and surviving Bravo Team member Rebecca, escaped the mansion in a helicopter piloted by a guilt-stricken Brad Vickers, and left Wesker for dead after he was killed by Tyrant, which he had himself awakened.
Then my eyes started bleeding because it is so ambiguous and parts do not make sense and ...well.  Someone else please help this paragraph because I suspect the ambiguity is due to actual plot info that I don't know about, not being a RE fan and I don't want to change the meaning of anything. --Naha|(talk) 20:48, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

message: It states that the picture in Wesker’s stats screen “after succesfully using him in merc mode” is him back in the days when he worked with Birkin in the lab. I presume the editor is talking about the picture after completing a mercenary level where it displays your ranking and such, but I don’t see anything that suggests it was Wesker in his lab days, as he’s wearing the same outfit he is in Resident Evil 4, and I don’t see anything else suggesting that. Is there another picture I’m unaware of or should this be fixed? T.K.R. 10:01, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Trivia question

message: Wesker is the only villain who managed to survive the Umbrella Corp. period of the Resident Evil series. (Another villain who potentially survived is Spencer but this scenario is not yet confirmed.) 
What about Nicholai?  Been a while since I played RE3, but close to the end I remember a scene where he was in a helicopter and you had a choice to either fight him or talk with him, and, IIRC, the 'talk with him' option ended with him living through the game.  And in Survivor you can find files written by him after the incident.  So I'm going to add him in with the remark about Spencer for now, unless someone says something otherwise.

message: Whereas previously he seemed to function as an undercover policeman, his role within the Resident Evil world now seems more akin to that of an experienced spy, or even super villain.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't he a top researcher at the Arklay Mountain lab? Calling him an "undercover policeman" makes it sound like he was a mere grunt in the first game.--Foot Dragoon 01:21, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  In other Media 

message: As many times as I watch Ada's Report 5 the wording suggests that Wesker and Ada are both "The Organization" operatives as they have been since Wesker's second employment was established in CV, and even as far back as Resident Evil 2. Then Wesker had contacted another organization repeatedly the "Pharmaceutical Giant S." Then judging from Wesker's loyalty history either Ada or "The Organization" decided not to give him an actual sample.
Did I miss a point where Ada claims she worked for "S" initially? If not I think Ada's and Wesker's article needs to be corrected to suggest Wesker is at least working toward double (triple?) crossing "The Organization" rather than saying Ada is working for "The Organization" against Wesker's goal since the report introduces "S" rather than "The Organization."Wildodeelf 09:21, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

message: I have removed the information regarding Wesker's alleged performance in Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. While the sources given state that someone found data in the game suggesting there will be a character called 'Albert' in Resident Evil 7. There is no further conclusive evidence or official statement from CapCom given whether this will in fact be Albert Wesker.
* One of the sources, TrendMedia is an article that has been almost entirely plagiarized from a small blog - Yibada. Again this article does not offer any official evidence. 
* LOD Tech does not even discuss how Wesker was allegedly discovered to be in Resident Evil 7. It mentions nothing about the data-mining nor the fact the leak only pointed to just a character named 'Albert'. 
* Two other sources, Playstation Lifestyle and EuroGamer,  offers the same claims: A character named 'Albert',  assumed to be Wekser.
* The actual data dump from NeoGAF Forums (which is apparently the source of the leak), even states that this is a character just named 'Albert', claiming "LastBossAlbert(NO RELATION TO WESKER, sounds like it's just his guns appear in the game". Almost every instance of 'Albert' in the dump is a reference to an item.
Unless there is something more concrete, Wesker's appearance in Resi 7 is speculation at this point. Three sources based on rumors and speculation do not classify as reliable sources. Rumors and speculative theories from un-reliable sources are considered original research. Wesker could in fact be in the game, but we would need something official and clear to validate this. --  StarScream1007  ►Talk   06:07, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

Unless we alter that sentence to only mention the games, shouldn't the film novelizations be included in the list of references?
Sidenote; Wesker actually dies a pretty gruesome death in the novelization of the original game, which seems to be based on a non-canonical death he can experience in the original version of RE 1.
