## Profile

### Background

Dr. Albert Wesker (c.1960-2009) was an accomplished virologist notorious for his work with groups affiliated with the bio-weapons black market. Originally one of the test subjects in Project W who specialised in biotechnology and bioengineering, he was an elite perfectionist individual of absolute coldness, always wearing deep-black sunglasses that gave him an even more unapproachable air. As a senior researcher linked to the t-Virus Project as early as 1978, Wesker bore witness to and at times shaped Umbrella's B.O.W. research. He officially left the company soon after a stall in the Tyrant Project and began work as a spy, leading to a career in the United States Army and eventually with S.T.A.R.S. as its Captain. Wesker ultimately chose to betray Umbrella and work with other groups to steal its research data, benefiting from a mutation brought on by a prototype virus that gave him superhuman powers. This made him, in his self-assertion, believe that he was chosen to achieve the ultimate goal of causing the mass extinction of humanity in favor of evolution. Ultimately, Wesker was killed in March 2009 during a BSAA operation which uncovered his role in a doomsday project dubbed Uroboros.

### Personality

Albert Wesker is a very power-hungry, traitorous, manipulative, sadistic and calculating individual who seeks power and dominance over everything. It is implied that his personality was largely stemmed from his being raised as part of Spencer's Project Wesker. He is a skilled, competent, and resourceful schemer, constantly plotting to achieve his own goals and everything he does is meant to serve his purposes. Wesker works constantly behind the scenes, often using others to do his dirty work for him. He maintains a calm, collected, and enthusiastic manner most of the time and is always looking to payback anyone who wrongs him. Wesker is able to manipulate others to work for him, but doesn't care for anyone except himself, as noted to by his betrayal of his S.T.A.R.S Unit and Excella. He believes that he is destined to be the god of a new world, one that he would create by purifying the current one. He is also known to make some sadistic jokes at others' expense, especially when confronting and battling Chris and Jill.

### Relationships

#### **Bane**

Wesker knows Berserker greatly distrusts him and waits for the chance to betray him first. At the same time, both of them see each other as invaluable assets for their respective agendas, Wesker even holding a small level of respect for his Servant's talents, so they agree to mutual cooperation for the time being, but with absolutely no loyalty to their alliance; The instant they're of no use to each other, they both plan on disposing of one another, plotting for the right time to act on it in a series of mind games between the two.

## Role

### Fate/???

Albert Wesker had suffered the defeat of Chris and Jill in Racoon City, America. However, he is unable to accept this loss and resort to drastic measures.

Wesker had traveled to Japan after he encountered a magus, he interrogated the mage into telling him that he intented to take part in a Holy Grail War. After killing the mage, he stole his catalyst and managed to summon Berserker as his servant. He now plots his goal to win and obtain the Holy Grail for his wish... to truly become god.

## Abilities

Prior to his exposure to Progenitor Virus, like the other Project W test subjects, Albert had certain special genes considered "superior" in his blood that made him immune to viral infections symptoms.

After his infection with Prototype virus, due to increased metabolism in his body, Wesker had gained a number of physical attributes above normal human parameters. His physical strength growted so much that he was capable intercept and throw missiles with hand, lift steel girders off his body, and kill a B.O.W. with one strike. Wesker's resistance was also amplified, such as magma can't burn him directly and thousands of pounds of steel falling on him from only dazed him for a few seconds. His speed and reflexes are perhaps his most notable skills. He doesn't get shot at close range perform short dashes of speed faster than the brain could comprehend, giving him the appearance of teleporting, and leap great heights. The virus also gave him a strong healing factor, as could to regenerate from light to fatal injuries in a short time and has also shown the power to resurrect him from the dead so long as the majority of his body remains intact. Since his resurrection, Wesker's physiology also appears to have stopped from physically aging. However, despite all these attributions, due to the instability of the Prototype virus, Wesker needed to inject himself regularly with serum PG67A/W to keep it under control, otherwise he would have his superhuman abilities stunted. The serum itself needed also be administered in very precise doses so that it would not damage Wesker's body from the inside.

By merging with the Uroboros virus, unlike the other individuals exposed to the virus, Wesker had complete control of its mutations, making it more powerful than before, but led him to a grotesque condition. Through Uroboros' pustules, he could use the tentacles generated by them to attack or grab his targets and could assimilate inorganic material into them, like metal fragments, to further intensify his attacks. He also showed the ability to use electricity with the metal he assimilated. In this state, Wesker's resilience could only be impaired if he were injured in the organs in the center of his chest and back, as seen when he fell in the lava of a volcano after being repeatedly stabbed there by Chris and Sheva in those respective places. However, he still had enough strength to survive the magma of volcano, despite Uroboros' weakness to the intense heat, and managed to grab the BSAA helicopter with one of his tentacles to the point of preventing him from moving away. Overall, it was necessary to hit Wesker with a pair of RPGs to completely destroy him.
