**Albert Wesker** is the main antagonist of the horror game franchiseResident Evil.

## Background

Albert was the son of a mysterious couple that had supposedly superior genes than most humans. Soon after his birth, he, alongside multiple other gifted children, was adopted by the Umbrella Corporation, a totally not shady pharmaceutical company. Umbrella had special plans for him. They wanted to use these special children in order to create and advanced breed of human beings that completely surpassed the regular man, both mentally and physically.Those experiments were part of Project W, which also resulted in the acquisition of his surname, Wesker.

Project W was almost a complete failure, as only Albert was able to survive. But Umbrella's CEO, Oswald E. Spencer, saw great potential in the sole survivor, so he made sure to keep him by his side. Alongside his colleague, William Birkin, Albert kept working as a researcher for Umbrella, and their investigations led to the creation of the T-Virus and the Tyrant B.O.W., two extremely deadly lifeforms that could easily result in the destruction of mankind. After those discoveries, Wesker joined S.T.A.R.S., a special division of the Raccoon City Police Department, as a double agent in order to leak the police's information in benefit of Umbrella.

Despite some problems with one of Umbrella's higher-ups, Wesker kept working with the company for some more time because he knew it would benefit him. And so it did, during a S.T.A.R.S. investigation of Spencer's mansion, where a zombie infection was taking place, Wesker injected himself with the Prototype Virus, which granted him superhuman abilities.  However, the virus took quite a while to kick in. As he waited for it to take effect, Wesker's façade was discovered by other members of S.T.A.R.S., but it was way too late when that happened, as Wesker had already decided to release the T-002 Tyrant, a completely superhuman monster. Things didn't really go well for Wesker when that happened, as the Tyrant killed him, but that was when the virus started working. Wesker's wounds regenerated, and he made the mansion self-destruct. After that, Wesker completely cut ties with Umbrella and decided to aim for a much better goal: becoming God.
