Introduction
------------
The following is a copy of "files" and "items" in Resident Evil: Umbrella
Chronicles. These have been reproduced verbatim to the best of my ability. All
text included shall be considered under Copyright of Capcom. This file may be
published freely as long as it is unaltered. Any questions, concerns, or
comments may be forwarded to [email protected]

Scope
-----
This document is not intended to assist player's in obtaining any files or
items; GameFAQs has published a guide entitled, "File Guide," written by
animan12 for that purpose. This document was written to allow players and
Resident Evil fanatics a consolidated means of reading the lore from Resident
Evil: Umbrella Chronicles. For those player who are concerned about the game
clock, the timer does continue to run while one views files in the Archives
Section of the game.

Organization
------------
The files and past items will be separated. Files are given in order of the
four dates in the game, subdivided by mission. Files are formatted as they are
given in the game. In most case, a line separates page breaks. This is omitted
when a sentence on the previous page continues on the next page.

Items are given in order of the four dates in the game. They are not subdivided
by mission as they are few in number.

"Train Derailment 1"

  -Memo of the Founding of Umbrella
     (extracted from the Umbrella Archives)

     Introduction

     Umbrella was founded in 1968 by three
     partners - myself, my good friend
     Edward Ashford, and the preeminent
     virology expert Dr. James Marcus.

     We all shared a common goal from the
     outset. We believed that virus
     research would play an important role in
     improving people's health. One day, it
     would even help to build a society free
     from the ills of disease.

     The Umbrella logo is a symbol of our
     unwavering pledge - "Preserving the
     health of the people."

     Technology is the umbrella
     that will serve that purpose.

     Thanks to everyone's support, our
     company has grown and the Umbrella
     logo is recognized and trusted
     throughout the world. For 40 years,
     we have followed our principles and
     delivered safety and peace of mind
     to medical facilities and homes.

     I would like to thank our loyal
     shareholders, employees and
     customers for their invaluable
     contributions to our continuing
     success.

     Unfortunately, both Edward and
     James have passed on in the course
     of this last year.

     While I mourn their loss,
     I feel their shining example lives
     on in the work we do everyday.
     I know they would be proud if they
     could see Umbrella now.

     We at Umbrella will continue to do our
     best to spur new innovation and make
     the world a better place for everyone.

     Humanity's future is safe under our umbrella.

     We appreciate your continued support.

  -Court Order for Transportation
     Court Order for Transportation
     1598A-7635

     Prisoner Name: Billy Coen
     ID Number: D-1036
     Former Second Lieutenant
     Marine Corps

     Age: 26
     Height: 5ft. 9in.
     Weight: 163lbs.
     Transfer Destination:
     Regarthon Base

     Convicted of first degree
     murder. Court-martialed and
     sentenced to death by the 0703rd
     military tribunal. Sentence to be
     carried out upon arrival.

     Samuel Regan,
     Commander,
     Dunell Marine Base

  -Rebecca Chambers Profile
     A member of S.T.A.R.S. Bravo Team,
     Rebecca is an expert in the manufacture
     and preparation of pharmaceuticals and
     serves as the team's medic. She is
     highly talented and graduated college at
     the young age of 18. Although she looks
     delicate, she is a woman of action and
     calm in the face of danger.

     She lacks experience in actual combat,
     so she can appear childish at times and
     can sometimes hesitate when finding
     herself overwhelmed by an unknown
     situation.

  -Billy Coen Profile
     Originally a Second Lieutenant in the
     U.S.M.C., he was sentenced to death for
     first-degree murder for his role in the
     death of 23 people. Billy is perceptive
     and can expertly handle any weapon. His
     body, hardened by marine training, is a
     match for any monster in battle. He is a
     cynical man of few words, but possesses
     a keen sense of justice and a deep
     passion for his duty.

  -Ecliptic Express Notes
     A special express train bound for the
     Management Training Facility. It appears
     to be a typical train at first glance,
     but its purpose is to bring Umbrella
     employees to the facility to undergo
     special training. The rails are
     privately owned and stretch through
     Raccoon Forest to allow direct delivery
     of materials and human resources to
     various Umbrella facilities.

  -Raccoon Forest Notes
     A large forts on the northern outskirts of
     Raccoon City. Includes the Arklay Mountains.
     A rich habitat, home to a multitude of the
     area's woodland creatures. The abundance of
     life in the forest is one contributing
     factor to the rapid widespread dispersion
     and mutation of the virus resulting in
     a biohazard.

     The Arklay Research Facility and
     Management Training Facility both lie
     within the forest.

  -Stinger Notes
     The Stinger is a B.O.W. created by
     administering the T-virus to a scorpion.
     As a result of the virus, the creature
     rapidly grows to a massive size and its
     pincers become powerful enough to cut
     through steel. The increased thickness
     and strength of the exoskeleton enables
     it to absorb damage from firearms.

     However, the creature's slow movement
     prevents its effective usage as a B.O.W.
     in the field.

  -Leech Notes
     This bloodsucking leech is approximately
     20 centimeters in length. Bred by Dr.
     Marcus, this creature has evolved in
     ways previously unthinkable in an
     annelid. When multiple leeches are
     present, they have been observed to form
     a collective consciousness.

     They consume flesh by attaching their
     enlarged mouths to prey and possess the
     ability to entirely consume a human in a
     matter of minutes.

"Train Derailment 2" [A2]

  -Memo about Billy's Past
     Tragedy rocks the U.S. Marine Corps!

     A dark day in Africa.

     Rumors surround Dunell Marine Base,
     situated in the American Heartland.

     These rumors were sparked by the
     U.N. condemnation of the Guerilla
     Cleanup Operation in Africa.

     The NPO has disclosed that the
     execution of 23 alleged soldiers was
     actually the slaughter of 23 innocent
     local inhabitants.

     The military has retracted their
     initial statements about the operation
     and the world is in an uproar over
     their involvement in the affair.

     An investigative committee has been
     quickly assembled to look into the
     incident, and the results of the inquiry
     are disturbing.

     They have announced that the truth
     of the matter is that "one marine
     panicked under the extreme conditions
     and unintentionally killed the
     civilians."

     This marine is said to be currently
     being held under close medical
     supervision and will receive just
     punishment in full accordance with
     the law. Details on the individual
     remain undisclosed at this time.

     The military's reluctance to disclose
     information has only fueled media claims
     of a cover-up.

     Should the top brass be
     allowed to shirk responsibility for a
     soldier in their command massacring 23
     innocent people? Does this cold-blooded
     killing machine of a marine even exist?
     This would not be the first time the
     military kept information on an
     operation quiet, but the emergence of a
     single soldier to blame seems all too
     convenient and reeks of conspiracy.

     If they do not disclose the full truth
     behind the incident, there is no
     foundation for regaining the trust of
     the citizens they are supposed to
     protect.

     The military will not be able to escape
     the suspicions of the people, nor of
     the family of the soldier implicated
     in this sad affair.

     Dunell Marine Base continues to deny
     media access to the facility, while
     soldiers continue their drills as if
     nothing has happened. Where is the
     justice? Is this what our America
     has become?

     We all want to believe that our brave,
     shining knights in the US military have
     our best interests at heart, so we can
     only hope and wait for an appropriate
     response to the public's outrage.

     Jeff Hendricks,
     War's Power Magazine

  -James Marcus Profile
     First head of Umbrella's Management
     Training Facility. A founding member of
     Umbrella Corporation and one of the
     pioneers who discovered the Progenitor
     virus. He was so involved in his
     research that he began to use Umbrella
     employees as test subjects in his
     experiments. The number of sacrifices
     totaled nearly 20 people.

     Acting under special orders from
     Ozwell E. Spencer, Albert Wesker
     and William Birkin assassinated
     Dr. Marcus in 1988. However,
     10 years after his death, he was
     mysteriously revived. To exact his
     revenge, he began secret activities with
     the goal of not only destroying
     Umbrella, but the entire world.

  -Mimicry Marcus Notes
     This creature is actually composed of
     countless leeches that have merged
     together to imitate the late Dr. James
     Marcus. The leeches secrete an adhesive
     bodily fluid over their cuticle in order
     to mold together. This coating hardens
     as they fuse together.

     When in the presence of prey or a
     threat, the leeches will break their
     form and attack. They are a revolting,
     but powerful enemy.

  -Eliminator Notes
     The Eliminator is a biological weapon
     created from a large monkey by Dr. James
     Marcus. Being based on primates, the
     creature is highly intelligent and
     capable of executing commands. In
     response to the virus, the Eliminator's
     muscle tissue strengthens and swells to
     such an extent as to tear through its
     skin.

     When detecting prey, hunger drives
     it to jump and viciously attack with
     incredible speed.

  -Bat Notes
     A bat secondarily infected with the
     T-virus, giving it heightened
     aggressiveness. It has a tendency to
     lunge at humans when it detects them.
     Its physical features are not much
     different from other bats that live in
     Raccoon Forest, but its hostile behavior
     increases the chance of spreading the
     T-virus.

  -Infected Bat Notes
     The Infected Bat is a creature that
     shows distinct mutations over other bat
     subjects. It is a prime example of the
     T-virus increasing the size of a highly
     compatible mammal. Its extraordinarily
     developed physique can reach a wingspan
     of up to 3 meters, and its strengthened
     muscle tissue enables it to carry a
     human being with ease.

     Its diet has been altered and now
     consists primarily of meat. In order to
     capture its prey, it signals accomplices
     to its air with sonic waves.

"Train Derailment 3" [A3]

  -Queen Leech Notes
     This creature has mutated to become the
     Queen Leech that controls all leeches.
     It typically takes the form of Dr. James
     Marcus, but can break this mold to
     become a transfigured, first form. The
     Queen Leech first entered the remains of
     Dr. Marcus many years ago and merged
     with his DNA.

     Over a long incubation period the Queen
     Leech eventually began thinking and
     acting just like Dr. Marcus did when he
     was alive. As the name Queen Leech
     implies, it commands countless mutated
     leeches. If it senses bodily harm, it
     will cease restraining its natural
     functions and will mutate into a larger,
     second form.

  -Resident Evil 0 Digest 1
     Bizarre murder cases with people being
     found dead, their bodies half-eaten,
     were being reported in the areas near
     Raccoon City.

     The city's elite special forces unit
     S.T.A.R.S. sent their Bravo Team to the
     scene. However, due to a mysterious
     engine failure, Bravo Team's helicopter
     crash-landed in the forest.

     Bravo Team narrowly escaped with their
     lives and stumbled onto a heavily
     damaged prison convoy and the brutally
     dismembered corpses of the Marines in
     charge. Enrico Marini, Bravo Team's
     commander, ordered that a search be made
     for Billy Coen, a former Marine who
     escaped from the convoy.

     The newest member of Bravo team,
     Rebecca Chambers, discovered a train
     stopped in the woods and went inside
     to investigate. Apparently the train had
     met with some kind of accident as she
     found all of the passengers dead.

     One of the supposedly dead passengers
     came to life and attacked Rebecca.

     Completely surrounded and facing
     certain death, the prisoner Billy Coen
     was responsible for her rescue.
     Rebecca was still suspicious of Billy,
     but realized that they needed to work
     together if they wanted to survive the
     nightmare.

     Shortly after, the train suddenly
     started to move. It accelerated and
     was rapidly approaching dangerous
     speeds.

     To prevent the imminent derailment,
     the pair engaged the brake. However,
     it was too late and the train rolled on
     its side.

     The two barely managed to escape the wreck.

     Waiting near them was Umbrella's
     Management Training Facility.

  -Resident Evil 0 Digest 2
     The Management Training Facility had
     been closed down since the death of
     Dr. James Marcus. Parasitic leeches
     taking the form of humans were
     attacking any trespassers that
     entered the abandoned facility.
     It was true terror come to life.

     The two Umbrella officers, Albert
     Wesker and William Birkin, were aware of
     the unfolding events. They were sent to
     recover the facility, but that plan fell
     apart with the endless waves of
     attacking monsters.

     While monitoring Billy and Rebecca's
     progress, they began to sense a
     presence bent on Umbrella's
     destruction and decided to destroy the
     facility. Rebecca and Billy came to
     trust and rely on each other while
     struggling through the nightmarish
     circumstances. Rebecca realized that
     Billy did not have it in him to have
     murdered the 23 innocent people.

     The pair eventually met with a
     reanimated Marcus. He told them
     the startling story of how he was
     assassinated 10 years ago.

     He had just successfully replicated the
     T-virus after years of researching
     leeches when two of Ozwell E. Spencer's
     employees, Albert Wesker and William
     Birkin, assassinated him and stole his
     research.

     The evolved leeches attached
     themselves to Marcus's corpse,
     absorbing his DNA into their own
     until eventually creating a copy of him.

     This new Marcus sought revenge on
     Umbrella and the world by initiating the
     outbreak of the T-virus to the
     surrounding Raccoon Forest, resulting
     in a full-scale biohazard.

     The copied Marcus eventually
     transformed into the Queen Leech
     while the timer began to run down on
     a bomb that was set to level the
     facility.

     Rebecca and Billy knew what had to be
     done as the curtain on their last battle
     rose.

"Beginnings 1" [B1]

  -Leech Growth Records
     February 3rd, 1978
     I administered Progenitor to 4
     leeches.

     Their will to survive leads them
     first to parasitism and predation.
     Then they breed and multiply.

     Such a single-minded biology
     makes them attractive candidates for
     bio-weapons research. Although they
     appeared to writhe around in pain at
     first, they soon settled down.
     Afterward, no major changes were
     observed.

     February 10th, 1978
     It has been 7 days since the
     administration of Progenitor.
     There has been rapid growth to
     double their former size and signs of
     transformation are emerging. Spawning
     has also been successful.

     They doubled their numbers in only
     an hour, but their ravenous appetites
     led them to cannibalism.
     I hastened to increase the food
     supply, but had already lost 2 of them.

     March 7th, 1978
     I provided them with live food, but lost
     half when the live food fought back.
     However, the leeches are learning from
     experience and are beginning to exhibit
     group attack behavior. They are also
     ceasing cannibalism. Their evolution is
     exceeding expectations.

     April 22nd, 1978
     The leeches no longer exhibit
     individual behavior, even when not
     feeding. They move as a collective. They
     consume everything I offer with
     remarkable efficiency.

     April 30th, 1978
     An employee has stumbled onto my
     experiments. Can a human be a food
     source? How will the leeches respond?

     June 3rd, 1978
     A day worth of commemoration.
     Today they began to mimic me!
     Surely they recognize their father...
     Wonderful children. No one will take
     you away...

  -William Birkin Profile
     A world-renowned scientist working for
     Umbrella. He is the primary figure
     responsible for the development of the
     G-virus. He was also a core component in
     continuing the research on the T-virus
     where Marcus left off. However, some
     unpleasantness arose between him and
     Umbrella, prompting him to approach the
     U.S. military. Umbrella responded by
     sending in their special forces.

     Shortly before his death at their
     hands, he injected himself with the
     G-virus and transformed into a monster.
     He is survived by a daughter, Sherry,
     from his late wife Annette.

  -Reclamation Project Notes
     The Management Training Facility has
     been abandoned since James Marcus's
     death in 1988. Umbrella undertook a
     project to reclaim the facility and
     bring it back under operation. Supplies
     and human resources were to be divided
     into two batches and sent in, but the
     lead group was exterminated by a B.O.W.

     The special forces unit sent in to
     investigate were also caught by surprise
     and taken down by the leeches. The
     leaders of the Reclamation Project were
     Albert Wesker and William Birkin.

  -Marcus's Diary 1
     December 4th
     We finally did it... the new virus! We
     call it Progenitor. I will begin
     detailed investigations into this
     virus immediately.

     March 29rd
     Spencer says he's going to start a
     company. Well, I don't care, as long as
     I can continue my research into
     Progenitor. He can do whatever he
     likes...

     August 19th
     Spencer keeps hassling me to become the
     director of his new training facility.
     Maybe it's due to the business, but he's
     becoming intolerably pushy. Perhaps I
     can turn this to my advantage. I need a
     special facility to properly explore all
     of the secrets of this virus. A place
     where no one will get in the way...

     November 30th
     Damn that Spencer! He came
     to complain to me again today. He thinks
     of Progenitor as nothing more than a
     money-spinning tool. Fool! But if his
     influence continues to grow... it can
     only be bad for my research. If I'm to
     properly develop Progenitor, I must
     strengthen my own position too.

     September 19th
     At last... I've discovered a way to
     build a new virus type with Progenitor
     as a base. Mixing it with leech DNA was
     the breakthrough I needed. I call this
     new virus T, and it marks the first
     successful derivation of the Progenitor
     line.

     October 23rd
     It's no good! I can't hope for progress
     by experimenting on mere rodents. Only
     humans can be a proper mammalian subject
     for these experiments. Otherwise, I'll
     never make any real progress...

     November 15th
     Someone seems to suspect
     something about my experiments, but,
     perhaps it's just my imagination. Well,
     if anyone does get too close, they may
     find themselves unexpectedly "assisting"
     in my research!

     January 13th
     As last, they are ready. My wonderful
     leeches! Those of low intelligence will
     never have the privilege of tasting this
     sense of joy and satisfaction! Now,
     finally, I can move against Spencer.
     Soon, I will control everything...

     January 31st
     The devices I set to protect my workhave
     been disturbed. It appears someone came
     looking for T and the leeches. Fool. No
     doubt the work of Spencer's group.

     February 11th
     Today, I again found evidence of
     tampering around the entrance to the
     labs. If that's what they're after, I
     must find a suitable way to deal with
     them. Perhaps I should have William and
     Albert smoke out the pests... Those two
     are the only ones I trust. Apart from my
     beloved leeches, of course. But Spencer...
     It wouldn't end there, would it?

  -Zombie Notes
     They were once human, but were infected
     with and consequently resurrected by the
     T-virus. They lose their ability to
     reason, which combined with the
     continued decay of their flesh has led
     to their being called zombies. They
     began to appear in great numbers with
     the T-virus outbreak.

     Their insatiable hunger drives these
     carriers to seek out living organisms
     for food, which only further serves to
     drive the infection.

"Mansion Incident 1" [C1]

  -Keeper's Diary
     May 9, 1998
     Played poker tonight with Scott and
     Alias from Security, and Steve from
     Research. Steve was the big winner,
     but I think he was cheating. That
     scumbag.

     May 10, 1998
     One of the higher-ups assigned me
     to take care of a new creature.

     It looks like a skinned gorilla to me,
     I was instructed to feed it live
     animals.

     When I threw in a pig, the creature
     seemed to play with it... tearing off
     the pig's legs and pulling out the guts
     before it actually started eating.

     May 11, 1998
     At around 5 A.M., Scott woke me up.
     Scared the shit out me, too. He was
     wearing a protective suit. He handed
     me another one and told me to put
     it on. Said there'd been an accident
     in the basement lab. I just knew
     something like this would happen.
     Those bastards in Research never
     sleep, not even on holidays, so it
     was only a matter of time before one of
     them slipped up.

     May 12, 1998
     I've been wearing this damn space suit
     since yesterday. My skin's getting grimy
     and feels itchy all over. The goddamn
     dogs have been looking at me funny,
     so I decided not to feed them today.
     Screw 'em.

     May 13, 1998
     Went to the Infirmary because my back
     is all swollen and feels itchy. They put
     a big bandage on it and told me I didn't
     need to wear the suit anymore.
     All I wanna do is sleep.

     May 14, 1998
     Found a big blister on my foot
     this morning. I ended up dragging
     my foot all the way to the dogs' pen.
     They were quiet all day, which is weird.
     Then I realized some of them had
     escaped. Maybe this is their way of
     getting back at me for not feeding them
     the last three days. If anybody finds
     out, I'll have my head handed to me.

     May 16, 1998
     A rumor is going around that a
     researcher who tried to escape the
     estate last night was shot. My entire
     body feels hot and itchy and I'm
     sweating all the time now. I scratched
     the swelling on my arm and a piece of
     rotten flesh just dropped off. What the
     hell's happening to me?

     May 19, 1998
     Fever gone but itchy. Today hungry and
     eat doggie food.

     May 21, 1998
     Itchy itchy Scott came ugly face so
     killed him. Tasty.

     4 / /
     Itchy. Tasty.

  -Jill Valentine Profile
     A member of S.T.A.R.S. Alpha Team. She
     is very dexterous and is an expert at
     picking locks, earning her the somewhat
     awkward title of "Master of Unlocking."
     She is not only highly skilled in bomb
     disposal, but is excellent at breaking
     down any situation and determining the
     best course of action. Her years of U.S.
     Army Delta Force training have helped
     make her a crack shot.

     After the destruction of Raccoon City,
     both her and Chris have joined a private
     biohazard containment unit with the goal
     of taking Umbrella down once and for
     all. Serious, with a strong sense of
     justice, she's very direct in her
     actions. She typically only shows her
     tough side to others, but there are
     times when she lets her guard down and
     shows a softer side.

  -Chris Redfield Profile
     A member of S.T.A.R.S. Alpha Team, his
     marksmanship is #1 amongst the
     sharp-shooters assembled in Alpha. He
     was once a pilot in the U.S.A.F. and has
     been rigorously trained in hand-to-hand
     as well as knife combat. He has pursued
     Umbrella and the people behind it even
     after the fall of Raccoon City by
     helping to organize a private biohazard
     containment unit.

     An excellent observer with keen insight,
     his sense of right and wrong is
     unwavering. This is often a source of
     conflict between Chris and his
     superiors. He has a younger sister,
     Claire, who he is very protective of.

  -Kenneth J. Sullivan Profile
     A member of S.T.A.R.S. Bravo Team, he is
     a veteran who can be trusted to bring
     his vast experience and wisdom to his
     investigations. He is charged with recon
     and position security. He made it to the
     mansion, but was soon overtaken and
     became a meal for a zombie.

  -Forest Speyer Profile
     A member of S.T.A.R.S. Bravo Team, his
     sharp-shooting skills almost rival
     Chris's. He escaped to the mansion, but
     was attacked by a monster and left for
     dead on the balcony, where his body was
     later discovered.

  -S.T.A.R.S. Notes
     Special Tactics and Rescue Service, or
     S.T.A.R.S., was established within the
     Raccoon Police Department and is divided
     into an Alpha Team and Bravo Team. This
     elite group was formed to respond to
     terrorism, organized crime, and
     emergencies too difficult for the
     regular police force to handle.

     Its members include a hand-picked group
     of specialists, the best of the best.
     Their funding was provided by a grant
     from private corporations, most notably
     Umbrella Corporation.

  -Arklay Research Facility "Mansion" Notes
     Umbrella's research facility built deep
     within Raccoon Forest. The primary
     facilities are buried deep underground,
     while the two story mansion that rests
     above ground serves as a facade. The
     mansion's construction includes a wide
     range of insidious traps and devices
     created by the architect George Trevor.

  -Cerberus Notes
     The Cerberus is a B.O.W. created by
     administering the T-virus to large
     Dobermans used in the military. Its skin
     is severely decayed, although its speed
     and endurance are considerably
     heightened. When it finds its prey, it
     will coordinate with others in its pack
     and attack in waves.

     They are suspected to be the main cause
     of the numerous mutilated bodies found
     in Raccoon Forest.

  -Crimson Head Notes
     A zombie that has undergone a sudden
     mutation, bringing with it a
     ferociousness surpassing that of a
     standard zombie. The mutation process
     requires that the zombie first be
     incapacitated.

     At this time, the creature's body tissue
     is reconstructed at the cellular level
     resulting in renewed activity as well as
     the tell-tale reddish color that gives
     the Crimson Head its name. It possesses
     long, sharp claws and relentlessly
     pursues victims with a speed unseen in
     other zombies.

"Mansion Incident 2" [C2]

  -Hunter Notes
     The Hunter was a battle B.O.W. born from
     a fertilized human egg infused with
     reptilian DNA with the assistance of the
     T-virus. It is extremely deadly in
     combat and possesses large, sharp claws.
     It is intelligent enough to carry out
     basic commands and can cut down prey
     with astonishing agility and jumping
     power making it truly deserving of the
     name Hunter.

  -Neptune Notes
     A new form of B.O.W. created from a
     Great White Shark base. It was developed
     as an experiment to prove that the
     T-virus would combine well with sea
     creatures.

     However, the introduction of the T-virus
     provided only minimal enhancement to the
     pre-existing strength of the shark and
     the result can hardly be employed as a
     true B.O.W. In the sea, it knows no
     enemies, but on land, it is powerless.

  -Wasp Notes
     These wasps were secondarily infected by
     ingesting insect carriers of the
     T-virus. They have grown to enormous
     size as a result. These wasps are
     societal insects that congregate in
     nests. Though it may be possible to
     fend off one or two, any unfortunate
     victim of their attack will likely fall
     prey to a large number of the creatures
     when they attack in swarms.

     Their stinger can deliver large doses of
     their natural venom mixed with the
     T-virus.

  -Adder Notes
     This small, venomous snake was
     secondarily infected by the T-virus,
     leading to a mutation with an enhanced
     ability to attack prey. It has the
     ability to multiply with incredible
     speed and its already potent venom has
     been further enhanced by the effects of
     the virus. The Adder's bite also carries
     with it the potential to further spread
     the T-virus.

  -Web Spinner Notes
     A new B.O.W. developed from early
     experiments with arthropods. Its name is
     derived from its roots as a spider, but
     the mutated creature now uses its acidic
     venom to capture prey and no longer
     relies on webs. With its spider ability
     to climb on walls and ceilings, it was
     under consideration as a useful weapon,
     but the inability to exert control over
     it ended that line of research.

  -Black Tiger Notes
     A disposed-of Web Spinner which mutated
     and grew even larger and more deadly. It
     can be differentiated from a Web Spinner
     by the black markings on its body. Its
     ability to create a web and nest has
     returned, providing it with an
     additional tool for trapping large prey.

  -Plant 42 Notes
     Plant 42 was created accidentally during
     the T-virus outbreak. Researchers who
     had discovered the plant, studied it
     with great interest as its growth
     overwhelmed that of other plants.

     Although it cannot move its trunk, it
     can lash out with tentacle-like
     appendages to ensnare prey and drain
     them of their blood for nutrients. It
     has also generated many other
     self-defense mechanisms to protect
     itself from would-be attackers.

"Mansion Incident 3" [C3]

  -Wesker Report Extract on the Tyrant Plan
     (extracted from Wesker's Report)

     A highly sophisticated "Fighting
     Biological Weapon" - with intelligence,
     which would obey programmed orders and
     act as a soldier. That was the monster
     we tried to create and we called it
     "The Tyrant".

     But, from the beginning, there
     was one huge obstacle - it was
     almost impossible to obtain a living
     subject on which we could base the
     Tyrant. The supply of genetically
     adaptable human beings for the Tyrant
     was extremely limited.

     This is due to the nature of the
     "T-virus".

     The "T-virus" variant which was ideal
     to create the zombies and the Hunters
     was suitable for most humans, but it had
     a fault of making the carrier's brain
     cells decline.

     To transform the carrier into a Tyrant
     we needed to keep the carrier's
     intelligence at a certain level.

     In order to overcome this issue, Birkin
     had been working on extracting a
     variant which would cause the least
     damage to the brain when it was
     adapted perfectly to the carrier.

     However, humans with a genetic match
     to this variant were extremely rare.

     The Genetic Analytic team's simulation
     report told us that only one in ten
     million would be infected and transform
     into a Tyrant with the remainder
     becoming zombies.

     It might have been possible to develop
     a more progressive strain of the
     "T-virus" which could transform more
     humans into Tyrants.

     However, to push the research further,
     first of all we required human subjects
     with a perfect genetic match to the
     new variant.

     There was little possibility that such a
     specimen would be supplied to us,
     because even if we scoured the whole
     USA, we would only be able to find 50
     or so of them.

     In fact, at that time, even with the
     utmost effort we only managed to
     collect a few specimens with a close
     match.

     Even from the outset, our research
     was at a standstill.

  -Mail to the Chief of Security

     for further instructions.

  -Researcher's Letter
     June 8th, 1998

     My dearest Ada,

     By the time you read this letter, I
     will no longer be the man you knew.
     The results of my test came back
     today, and as I suspected, they
     came back positive.

     I feel like I am teetering on the edge
     of sanity just thinking about my
     impending doom. I would give anything
     not to have to become one of them.

     As far as I know, you are not infected.
     I sincerely hope things do not reach
     such a desperate pass, but if it has
     turned out that you are the last person
     remaining alive, I want you to get the
     material from the Visual Data Room.
     Then, activate the Self-Destruct System
     in the Power Room, and escape from here.
     Please do everything in your power to
     make this whole incident public.

     If everything is still running normally,
     you should be able to release all the
     locks using the Security System. I have
     set up the terminal in the small
     security room so that you can log in
     to the system using my name and your
     name as the password.

     You will need another password to
     release the lock of the door in Basement
     Level Two where the Visual Data Room is
     located.

     As a safety measure I have coded that
     password into an X-ray picture - a
     roentgenogram. I know you, and I'm sure
     you will be able to work it out without
     any trouble.

     There is just one more thing... and it
     is my last request. I hope you never
     have to lay eyes on me in that state,
     but if you do happen to run into me in
     my hideous form, I beg you to put me
     out of my misery. I hope you understand.

     Thank you, Ada.

     Yours truly,
     John

  -Chimera Notes
     This grotesque B.O.W. was created by
     combining the genes of a human being
     with those of a fly. Although the
     general shape is humanoid, it has
     retained many fly characteristics such
     as the ability to crawl on walls and its
     sharp appendages.

     Its intelligence is on par with that of
     an insect, and its body contains within
     it numerous maggots. Its appearance
     provokes fear in humans that witness it.

  -Tyrant (T-002) Notes
     A product of the Arklay Research
     Facility, and the ultimate life-form,
     based on the male human body structure.
     Its combat prowess is at the pinnacle of
     B.O.W.s and it is named after the virus
     which created it. It possesses the
     mental faculties to carry out orders and
     is extremely durable.

     There were still issues about the
     control mechanisms, so combat data
     against real opponents was needed for
     making further improvements. If it
     senses that its life is in danger, it
     will remove its power limiter and
     transform into the even more powerful
     Super Tyrant.

  -B.O.W. Notes
     A Bio Organic Weapon, or B.O.W., is an
     organism mutated using the power of the
     T-virus developed by Umbrella. There are
     numerous varieties of B.O.W.s all
     developed to accomplish different aims
     from combat to viral contamination.
     Widely considered the most successful of
     the B.O.W.s is the humanoid Tyrant.

     B.O.W.s include all organic weapons
     intentionally designed by Umbrella, but
     do not include monsters created as a
     result of secondary infection by the
     T-virus.

  -Resident Evil Digest 1
     S.T.A.R.S. Bravo Team was sent in to
     ascertain the cause of the grisly
     murders taking place in the Arklay
     Mountains, but all contact with them was
     cut off during the mission.

     Alpha Team was then sent in to
     investigate.

     While searching for their comrades,
     Alpha Team fell under attack by
     monsters and were forced to flee
     into an ominous mansion.

     The survivors, Chris, Jill, Barry, and
     Wesker resumed the search for Bravo
     Team, but found that most of them had
     already been killed by zombies.

     The mansion was filled with trap doors
     and strange devices and teemed with
     monstrous dogs, crows, spiders, and
     blood-sucking plants. The mysteries
     surrounding the old residence became
     more apparent as the team fought their
     way through its evil inhabitants.

     The mansion turned out to be a front
     for a hidden Umbrella research facility.
     Alpha Team managed to locate the
     survivors of Bravo Team - Rebecca,
     Richard and Enrico - But Richard
     perished shortly thereafter and Enrico
     was murdered while trying to warn of
     a traitor in their midst.

  -Resident Evil Digest 2
     Jill and Chris made their way below the
     mansion and discovered Umbrella's
     high-tech research facility.

     They discovered Wesker in the
     cultivation chamber and learned that
     he was the traitor. As a former Umbrella
     researcher, he had seized the
     opportunity that the biohazard presented</pre><pre id="faqspan-2">
     to lure them into the mansion and
     collect data on the effectiveness of the
     biological weaponry against highly
     trained soldiers. Wesker also had
     further plans to betray Umbrella.

     With the awesome power of the
     completed Tyrant in his hands, he no
     longer needed to follow the orders of
     others.

     However, upon releasing the
     Tyrant, it lashed out and pierced
     Wesker's body with its giant claw.

     The Tyrant pursued Jill and Chris,
     while in the background a
     self-destruction mechanism had been
     initialized. The pair made contact with
     Brad, Alpha's helicopter pilot, and fled
     to the helipad to escape.

     The Tyrant followed in pursuit and
     began to draw closer with each step.

  -Brad Vickers Profile
     A member of S.T.A.R.S. Alpha Team. He is
     in charge of chemical protection and
     also serves as the team's helicopter
     pilot. He is prone to cowardice, a trait
     most notably demonstrated when he fled
     and left his team for dead at the
     mansion. His guilty conscious eventually
     forced him to return to try and save the
     remaining survivors.

     Despite his one moment of courage, he
     could never change his true nature. In
     the end he was tracked down and killed
     by the Nemesis.

"Nightmare 1" [D1]

  -Richard Aiken Profile
     A member of S.T.A.R.S. Bravo Team. He is
     the BUM, or back-up man, for the team
     and specializes in the shotgun. He is
     also charged with looking after the
     inexperienced Rebecca Chambers. This
     young man has a bright disposition and
     is frank with others. He cares for
     people and will do whatever it takes,
     even at the cost of his own life, to
     protect someone.

  -Edward Dewey Profile
     A member of S.T.A.R.S. Bravo Team. He is
     the RE, or rear-security, for the team
     and although he normally serves as the
     main pilot, he acted as co-pilot to
     Kevin Dooley for the Raccoon Forest
     mission. After the helicopter
     crash-landed, he discovered the Ecliptic
     Express and looked around inside only to
     be bitten by a zombie making him the
     first S.T.A.R.S. victim.

  -Crow Notes
     Wild crows infected by the T-virus.
     Although their appearance remains mostly
     unaltered by the infection, they have
     grown more violent and are no longer
     frightened off by loud sounds. The fact
     that they are capable of flight makes
     them an extremely dangerous carrier for
     the virus.

"Nightmare 2" [D2]

  -Enrico Marini Profile
     He is the leader of S.T.A.R.S. Bravo
     Team and second in command of S.T.A.R.S.
     Enrico is a veteran with survival skills
     and is highly regarded by his
     subordinates. Enrico's Bravo Team was on
     their way to investigate the bizarre
     murders in Raccoon Forest when their
     helicopter was forced to make an
     emergency landing. They proceeded to
     investigate on foot.

     Along the way, his team got split up and
     attacked by monsters in the forest.
     Enrico decided that Bravo Team's best
     chances of survival were with fleeing
     into the mansion, a secret Umbrella
     research facility. After escaping to the
     mansion, Enrico soon learned that there
     was a traitor within S.T.A.R.S.

  -Sealed Letter to Sergei Vladimir
     Dear Colonel,

     It has been so long since we last met.
     Has Summer come to Russia yet?

     I realize it is sudden, but I have
     a request that only you can handle, old
     friend.

     You already know from the television
     conference the other day that a
     response to the incident at Arklay has
     been ordered.

     The mail calling for the X Day
     Procedure has already been sent.
     There are stirrings behind closed doors
     calling for a "disposal" of the entire
     facility.

     However, I just cannot help but
     feel it is a waste, what with our
     guardian of Crete.

     I apologize for having to make this
     request of you, but could you fly
     to Raccoon and recover the
     prototype for me?

     There is cause for the urgency of
     this request. Hidden forces are at
     work, trying to back me into a corner.

     I suspect there is more to the virus
     outbreak and other various incidents
     than is suspected. The company has
     decided to destroy any evidence
     implicating their involvement.

     In the current circumstances, I fear
     that any correspondence sent by
     traditional means would be monitored,
     and so I sealed this message.

     Umbrella is embroiled in a dangerous
     situation and these are dangerous
     times. This is when those who would
     take advantage of such misfortune
     will begin to emerge.

     You have always been our loyal cleaner,
     and the time when your services are
     needed have come again.
     Happy hunting.

     (unsigned, but stamped by an old seal)

  -Yawn Notes
     This poisonous snake, bred for use as a
     B.O.W. test subject, escaped and was
     subsequently infected with the T-virus,
     causing it to grow to a gigantic size.
     It quickly made the mansion its home and
     ate many of the research staff. The
     venom it secretes through its sharp
     fangs requires a powerful serum to
     counteract.

     If the victim is not given prompt
     treatment, the venom will kill the
     victim in a matter of minutes. As it
     appears to be yawning as it swallows its
     prey whole, it was given the name Yawn.

"Rebirth 1" [E1]

  -Virus Memo
     We go way back so I hope you forgive me
     cutting the formalities. I don't have
     much time. I must describe how to use
     the item in question.

     The sample you have been given is
     from one of the mutation stocks.
     It possesses a unique characteristic.

     It should be injected into the host at
     least 5 minutes before needed. The
     results are almost immediate, but they
     do require a few minutes to completely
     take effect.

     Even in death, as long as some portion
     of the host remains, the virus can
     reconstruct the rest of its body and
     bring it back to life.

     During this process, there is a brief
     period where the host appears, for all
     intents and purposes, dead.

     In experiments with animals, 70% of the
     subjects grew more powerful as a result
     of this resurrection. Their muscular and
     circulatory systems for exceeded those
     they possessed in life.

     This virus has been designed to
     conquer death. 20% came back to life,
     but with none of the beneficial
     side-effects present in the primary
     group. The remaining 10% remained dead.

     In other words, there was a 90% revival
     rate. The virus has not been used on a
     human yet, but that is soon to change.

     I'm not sure how this will help, but I'm
     sure you will put it to good use!
     Good luck.

     I feel dizzy after that shot they
     gave me.
     I don't see Mom.

     She promised that we would escape

  -A Letter to Someone
     To my Lisa,
     Day by day I can feel my
     consciousness drifting further away.

     The shots given to me by the men in
     white clothes made some of Mommy's
     itching go away. Today they gave me
     another shot saying it was "nutrition."

     When they give me the shots Mommy can
     think straight, but Mommy's shocked and
     sad because Mommy is unable to think of
     you all the time.

     Mommy's afraid. Afraid of forgetting
     everything, especially the memories of
     you and Daddy... What your faces look
     like, how we used to be together...

     They're all starting to disappear into
     somewhere dark in my mind.

     Oh Lisa, I wish I could touch your face
     and hold you in my arms right now, so
     that I can hold on to the wonderful
     memories of you and Daddy.

     Lisa we can't stay here any longer. We
     have to escape!

     Listen to me Lisa. Out chance to escape
     is the next time when we go to that lab
     together. We'll both pretend that we are
     unconscious and when that man in white
     clothes is off guard that will be out
     chance.

     When we're on the outside, let's look
     for Daddy together. Okay sweetie?

     Be strong, Lisa.

     George
     Action: Terminated
     (Nov. 30, 1967)

  -Trevor Family Notes
     The family of George Trevor, the
     brilliant architect who designed and
     oversaw the construction of the Arklay
     mansion. The construction of the mansion
     took five years, and when it was
     complete, Spencer decided that George
     knew too much. He was imprisoned within
     the mansion, while his wife Jessica and
     daughter Lisa were subjected to viral
     experiments.

     Jessica was deemed incompatible and
     disposed of, while George found himself
     trapped in the product of his own
     design. The Trevor family became the
     first victims of Spencer's blind
     ambition.

  -Lisa Trevor Profile
     She was imprisoned for nearly 30 years
     in the mansion and subjected to
     continual experiments that transfigured
     her into a monster. Numerous viral
     experiments made her immune to death
     itself and soon led Birkin to the
     discovery of the G-virus.

     Lisa has the disturbing trait of peeling
     faces from her victims and placing them
     over her own. There were repeated
     attempts to dispose of her, but they all
     failed. She was eventually bound and
     left to wander the halls of the mansion.

"Raccoon's Destruction 1" [F1]

  -Jill's Diary
     August 7th
     Two weeks have passed since
     that day. My physical wounds have
     healed, but I just can't forget that
     nightmare. For most people, it's history
     now. But for me, whenever I close my
     eyes, it all comes flooding back.
     Zombies eating people and the screams of
     my teammates dying. No, the wounds in my
     heart have yet to heal...

     August 13th
     Chris has been causing a lot of trouble
     recently. What's with him? He seldom
     talks to the other police members and is
     constantly on edge. The other day, he
     punched Elran of the Juvenile Crime
     Department just for accidentally
     spilling coffee on him.

     I tried to approach him, but when he saw
     me he just gave me a wink and walked
     away. I wonder what's going on in that
     head of his...

     August 15th
     At midnight, Chris, who has
     been on leave of absence for a
     "vacation," called me and asked me to
     meet him at his apartment. When I got
     there he showed me a couple of pieces of
     paper. They were part of a virus
     research report entitled simply "G."

     According to Chris, "the nightmare
     continues." He later went on to say that
     "it's not over yet." It appears that
     ever since that day at the mansion he
     has been fighting to uncover the truth
     all by himself, without rest and without
     even telling me.

     August 24th
     Chris left town today for Europe. Barry
     said that he was going to send his
     family to Canada first and then meet up
     with Chris after that. I have decided to
     remain in Raccoon City for the time
     being because I know that the
     research facility here will be vital to
     this case.

     After gathering as much information
     as I can, I will regroup with Barry
     and Chris in about a month. I know
     that is when my true struggle
     will begin...

  -Carlos Oliveira Profile
     A young mercenary with Native American
     blood in his veins. He was active in
     anti-government guerilla operations in
     South America. After government forces
     wiped out his organization, he was
     scouted by Umbrella Corporation to join
     their U.B.C.S. special ops unit.

     He is an expert in heavy weaponry and
     vehicle operation, making him a valuable
     asset. He is warm-hearted and is known
     to joke around. Perhaps as a result of
     being raised amidst violence, he is
     brave and always willing to throw
     himself in the middle of danger.

  -U.B.C.S. Notes
     The Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure
     Service, or U.B.C.S., is a private
     military group operated by Umbrella.
     They exist primarily to control the
     disasters caused by Umbrella's products
     and are always first on the scene of any
     accident.

     Because of the dangerous nature of this
     work, many of the members are war
     criminals, refugees or others recruited
     with the promise of being pardoned from
     death sentences or life imprisonment.
     These soldiers often come from the
     armies of communist countries and
     possess a solid military background.

  -Raccoon City Notes
     An industrialized city located in the
     American Midwest. The city is surrounded
     by nature, with an expansive forest to
     the north and plentiful fresh water
     supplies. Raccoon City boasts a
     population of 100,000 people,
     classifying it as a mid-sized city.

     The city successfully attracted
     investment from the multinational
     corporation, Umbrella, and soon grew to
     become an industrialized company town
     with nearly a third of the population
     directly employed by Umbrella.

  -Reporter's Memo
     At last! I have found the evidence I
     need to prove that the "cannibal
     disease" is indeed present in this city.

     I've witnessed it with my own eyes! I
     saw one man actually eating another. He
     behaved like a savage beast, tearing
     flesh from bone. It was horrifying. I
     have heard rumors that numerous people
     now suffer from this disease.
     The cause, however, remains a mystery.
     I must look into this further...

     The government has placed Raccoon
     City under martial law to prevent the
     spread of the disease. Due to this, I
     have lost contact with the media
     outside of the city. But I'm not giving
     up yet. As a journalist, I have a duty
     to the people and to my profession.

     From what I have gathered, the disease
     has not spread nationwide yet. It is my
     belief that this city holds the key to
     the creation of the disease and its
     cure.

     The military has set up blockades
     around the city to keep people from
     escaping and spreading the disease. Most
     of the citizens of this once great city
     are now either dead or infected. I know
     that it is the right decision to
     quarantine the city, but I can't help
     but feel sorry for myself.

     Will I be infected or eaten? I suppose
     it doesn't matter. My fate has already
     been sealed. All I have left is my work.
     I won't give up until I solve the
     mystery of this deadly disease.
     I have already discovered that it is not
     an airborne strain but is spread by some
     other means.

  -Dario's Memo
     I can't help but wonder if anyone will
     ever actually read these words, but
     writing them down helps me keep the last
     shred of sanity I still have left.

     After I've become a meal for those
     undead monsters, I'm sure the G.I.s
     responsible for sealing off the town
     will have a good laugh if they discover
     this memo.

     Is this how it's supposed to end?
     I don't want to die. I'm not ready...

     My wife, daughter, mother...
     My entire family has been killed. But
     none of that matters anymore. Right now,
     I have to worry about myself. That's all
     I have left.

     I never would have imagined my end to
     be like this. I had so much left to do.
     Rather than becoming a salesman, I
     should have tried my hand at being an
     author. That's what I always wanted to
     do, but my mother was less than
     supportive of my dream.

     Why did I ever listen to her?

     This looks like the end for the great
     Dario Rosso, future best-selling author.

     Cut down before his prime...

"Raccoon's Destruction 2" [F2]

  -Grave Digger Notes
     An arthropod that has mutated to an
     enormous size as a side-effect from the
     T-virus. It burrows beneath the ground
     until it senses prey, at which point it
     will rush up to the surface to take it
     by surprise.

     The Grave Digger maintains the
     appearance of a worm and can grow to 10
     meters in length. Its powerful jaws can
     chew through even concrete, and its
     amazing digestive system allows it to
     swallow a human victim whole.

  -Licker Notes
     These creatures used to be zombies
     before the T-virus further ravaged their
     bodies. They were named "Lickers"
     because of the incredibly long tongues
     they possessed. Other changes involve
     the brain expanding to the point of
     becoming visible and their skin
     deteriorating and peeling to expose
     their deformed muscle structure.

     This last mutation makes it easiest for
     them to move around on all fours and
     allows them to climb on walls and
     ceilings. Physically, they far
     outperform zombies and they can hunt
     their prey by sound, lashing out to
     attack with their piercing tongues. They
     can also employ their sharp claws to
     leap and attack.

  -Ivy Notes
     Officially named Plant 43, this B.O.W.
     was developed by analyzing data from the
     Plant 42 that had appeared in the
     mansion. It inherits the blood-sucking
     capabilities of Plant 42, while
     demonstrating new traits such as the
     ability to move on its own and attacking
     prey with its two vine-like appendages.

     It also has the ability to spit
     digestive enzymes from its flower-like
     head section to deliver a fatal blow to
     prey. Its movements are plodding, most
     likely due to the slow hydraulic forces
     it employs for locomotion.

  -Large Roach Notes
     These were normal roaches that lived in
     the sewers until becoming infected with
     the T-virus and growing to 40cm, or 8
     times their normal size. Their natural
     hardiness has remained intact, helping
     their population to explode. They have a
     tendency to bite soft flesh on their
     prey, and on humans, this tends to be
     the area around the carotid artery.

     There have even been reports of attacks
     on humans where groups of the
     cockroaches have leapt to their victim's
     face, suffocating them with numbers.
     They fought with mutated rats for
     control of the sewers and won. Since
     then, they have demonstrated a tendency
     towards cannibalism.

  -Monitor Notes
     An internal espionage organization
     within Umbrella set up to monitor
     suspicious activity among its employees.
     They are usually placed throughout the
     organization and maintain the image of
     normal employees to help them conduct
     their activities. There were several
     placed among the U.B.C.S., one of whom
     was Nicholai Ginovaef.

     Their orders range from spying on
     fellow employees and destroying evidence
     to cleanup operations including
     assassinations as required. The rewards
     for successful operations for outweigh
     the risks and monitors feel no remorse
     for selling out or killing their
     supposed comrades. Rumors are that
     Colonel Sergei Vladimir is the one
     pulling the strings behind the group.

"Raccoon's Destruction 3" [F3]

  -Fax from the HQ
     Attention.
     The Raccoon City project has been
     abandoned. Out political maneuvering
     in the Senate to delay their plans has
     failed. All supervisors should evacuate
     immediately. The U.S. Army is going
     to execute their plan tomorrow
     morning. The city will be obliterated
     at daybreak.

  -Nemesis T-Type (Pursuer) Notes
     This B.O.W. is the result of combining a
     Nemesis parasite with a host Tyrant
     body. The introduced Nemesis parasite
     controls the host completely. Its
     improved intelligence gives it the
     capacity to follow orders as well as the
     ability to operate a variety of
     weaponry.

     A protective coat was wrapped
     around it to provide protection against
     bullets and explosions as well as to act
     as a fail-safe should it go out of
     control. Thanks to the parasite's
     secretions, the regenerative powers of
     the Nemesis T-Type were incredible.

     Even if it were somehow stopped by an
     attack, it could mutate and evolve into
     a new form capable of withstanding
     further attacks. The new forms and their
     abilities are completely unpredictable.

  -Resident Evil 3 Digest 1
     It was 1998 and signs of the coming Fall
     were in the air of Raccoon City. Jill
     remained in the city to investigate
     Umbrella but did not realize the
     situation had become so dire.

     Upon realizing the extent of the
     danger, she decided to escape. The
     virus had rapidly spread and much of
     the town's population had already
     turned into zombies.

     Umbrella sent in the U.B.C.S. under the
     guise of evacuating the survivors. One
     of them was the mercenary, Carlos
     Oliveira. Jill and Carlos began to work
     together to try and escape the hell on
     earth Raccoon City had become.

     A black-coated monster stood between
     them and their freedom. Nemesis, or the
     Pursuer, was intent on wiping out every
     last member of S.T.A.R.S.

     Nemesis had already made short work
     of Brad and continued to track Jill
     down to accomplish its mission
     objectives.

  -Resident Evil 3 Digest 2
     The tenacious Nemesis was cutting down
     one U.B.C.S. soldier after another. Of
     course, a betrayer was also responsible
     for many of the U.B.C.S. losses.

     This betrayer was Nicholai Ginovaef, a
     member of the internal espionage group
     within Umbrella with special orders. He
     was planning to take back field combat
     data from the city to Umbrella, while
     betraying members of the U.B.C.S. for
     money.

     That is when Carlos Oliveira delivered
     the startling news. In a matter of
     hours, a missile that had been
     launched would annihilate all traces
     of Raccoon City.

     There was not much time left and the
     Nemesis mutated to a more powerful
     form with each attack.

     Despite the desperation of the
     situation, Nicholai was only interested
     in the bounty placed on Jill's head.

     In the meantime, Jill and Carlos
     continued to look for a means of
     escaping the ill-fated town.

  -Barry Burton Profile
     A member of S.T.A.R.S. Alpha Team. He
     used to serve in the same military unit
     with Chris and employs his expert
     knowledge in firearms to adjust and
     supply the guns for the group. He is
     good-natured and compassionate, with a
     strong sense of duty. He deeply loves
     his wife Kathy and two daughters, Moira
     and Polly.

     After escaping from the mansion, he took
     his family to Canada and returned alone
     to Raccoon City to rescue his friends and
     former comrades from S.T.A.R.S.

  -Operation Report
     -Operation Report-
     September 27th
     1:00 P.M. The west barricade has been
     compromised and another exchange ensued.
     We sheltered the injured in the
     confiscation room on the first floor
     temporarily. Twelve more people were
     injured in the battle.

     Recorder: David Ford

     -Additional Report-
     Three additional people were killed
     following the sudden appearance of an
     unknown creature. This creature is
     identified by mission patches of skin
     and razor-like claws. However, its most
     distinguishing characteristic is its
     lance-like tongue, capable of impaling a
     person in an instant.

     Their numbers as well as their
     locations remain unknown. We have
     tentatively named this creature the
     "Licker" and are currently in the
     process of developing counter-measures
     to deal with this new threat.

  -R.P.D. Notes
     The Raccoon City Police Department led
     by Chief Brian Irons. Brian is deeply
     connected to Umbrella, who had been
     working with him behind the scenes.
     R.P.D. includes the special unit
     S.T.A.R.S. and is outfitted with far
     more technology than appropriate for
     such a small city thanks to generous
     donations from Umbrella. The police
     station itself was also filled with
     expensive art pieces and resembled a
     museum more than a station. The brave
     officers of the R.P.D. did what they
     could for the citizens of Raccoon City
     in the face of the spreading T-virus,
     but with their chief gone mad and giving
     them confusing orders, they could not
     pull it together and were eventually
     wiped out despite having some of the
     nation's finest.

  -Mail to the Chief
     To: Mr. Brian Irons,
     Chief of the Raccoon City Police Dept.

     We have lost the mansion due to the
     actions of the renegade operative,
     Albert Wesker.

     Fortunately, his interference will have
     no lasting repercussions upon out
     continued virus research.

     Our only present concern is the
     presence of the remaining S.T.A.R.S.
     members: Redfield, Valentine, Burton,
     Chambers, and Vickers.

     It is comes to light that the S.T.A.R.S.
     have any evidence as to the activities
     of our research, dispose of them in
     such a manner that would appear
     to be purely accidental.

     Continue to monitor their progress
     and make certain their knowledge
     does not go public

     Annette will continue to be your
     contact throughout this affair.

     William Birkin

     To: Mr. Brian Irons,
     Chief of the Raccoon City Police Dept.

     I have deposited the amount of
     US $10,000 into the account for your
     services this term as per our agreement.

     The development of the G-virus,
     scheduled to replace the T-virus, is
     near completion.

     Once completed, I am certain that
     I will be appointed to the executive
     board of Umbrella Corp.

     It is imperative that we proceed with
     extreme caution. Redfield and the
     remaining S.T.A.R.S. members are still
     attempting to uncover information
     on the project.
     Continue to monitor their activities
     and block all attempts to investigate
     the underground research facilities

     William Birkin

     To: Mr. Brian Irons,
     Chief of the Raccoon City Police Dept.

     We have a problem. I have received
     information informing me that Umbrella
     HQ has sent spies to recover my
     research on the G-virus. There are an
     unknown number of agents involved.

     They must not be allowed to take this
     project away from me as it represents my
     entire life's work. Search the city
     thoroughly for any suspicious persons.
     Detain any such individuals by whatever
     means deemed necessary and contact me
     immediately through Annette.

     With these precautions, any possible
     threat should be eliminated.

     I will not allow anyone to steal my
     work on the G-virus.

     Not even Umbrella...

     William Birkin

  -Brian Irons Profile
     The Chief of the Police for the R.P.D. He
     maintains the facade of being a
     warm-hearted police chief, but was
     accepting bribes from Umbrella to turn a
     blind eye to their many illegal
     activities in the city. When members of
     S.T.A.R.S. returned with reports of the
     mansion incident, he intentionally
     blocked all further attempts at
     investigating the matter.

     His dark side is not a recent
     phenomenon. A little known fact about
     his past is that he was twice accused of
     domestic violence against his wife
     during his college years, and he avoided
     incarceration by agreeing to undertake
     psychiatric evaluation. During the
     events in Raccoon City, his unstable
     nature began to rear its ugly head
     again.

     He locked down the police station to
     make sure all of his subordinates went
     down with him and even made a personal
     trophy of the mayor's dead daughter.

"Death's Door 1" [G1]

  -Ada Wong Profile
     A woman shrouded in mystery. She tells
     Leon that she has come to Raccoon City
     looking for her lover, but this is only
     cover. She is actually a spy who has
     come to retrieve a sample of the
     G-virus. She has undergone rigorous
     special training in firearms and
     acrobatics, making her a real pro. Ada
     is always calm and collected even in the
     most extreme circumstances.

     She is cold and mysterious, but can show
     a feminine side from time to time.
     Whether she truly cares about anyone
     else or is just using her charms to
     manipulate people is never clear. Who is
     the real Ada Wong? Nobody knows.

  -Resident Evil 2 Digest 1
     Two months after the mansion incident,
     Raccoon City has shown signs of
     changing.

     Leon S. Kennedy is R.P.D.'s newest
     police officer and has arrived in
     Raccoon City for his first day on the
     job.

     The town is swarming with zombies
     and shortly after reaching town, Leon
     has to save Claire Redfield from an
     attacking zombie.

     Claire is S.T.A.R.S. team member
     Chris Redfield's younger sister and
     has come looking for her brother.

     The two flee together to the safest
     location they can think of - the
     R.P.D. police station.

     The manage to reach the station,
     but find that the police force has
     already be devastated. The two
     decide to split up to try and look
     for survivors and an escape route.

     While exploring the expansive police
     station, Leon meets Ada Wong in the
     parking garage and they continue
     exploring together. Meanwhile, Claire
     finds and rescues a young girl. She
     tells Claire that her name is Sherry
     and that she got separated from her
     parents.

     Leon finds that there is a sewer
     line linking the police station with
     an Umbrella research facility. What
     he did not yet realize was that there
     would be a powerful monster standing in
     between him and his escape.

  -Resident Evil 2 Digest 2
     In the research facility, Claire ran
     into Annette, an Umbrella researcher and
     Sherry's mother.

     She gives Claire a full account of
     the causes leading to the outbreak
     in Raccoon City.

     The "G" monster that was in the
     sewers was really her husband,
     William, after he injected himself with
     an experimental virus called the
     G-virus.

     The outbreak of the T-virus sparked
     a battle for control of the new
     G-virus between William and Umbrella.

     Leon had made his way to a different
     part of the research facility and was
     attacked by a Tyrant.

     During the fight, he leapt into danger
     and saved Ada from certain death.
     They continued through the facility
     together and a bond began to form
     between them.

     Ada finally revealed the truth to
     Leon that she was actually a spy
     sent in to steal the G-virus.

     While Leon was with Ada, Claire
     was still with Annette, and "G"
     had appeared suddenly in front of the
     pair cutting Annette down.

     She entrusts the instructions on
     producing the G-virus vaccine to
     Claire shortly before dying.

     Sherry had become infected with
     the virus, and Claire hurried to produce
     the vaccine.

     Can Claire and Leon reunite and
     escape the disaster? What will
     become of the infected Sherry?

  -G Notes
     1) This virus is far more powerful than
     the T-virus and was developed by a
     researcher named William Birkin. The
     T-virus only causes one generation of
     mutations, but the G-virus can continue
     beyond one generation. When the Nemesis
     prototype was used on the test subject
     Lisa Trevor, her body served as the
     source of the original G-virus's
     discovery.

     2) William injected himself with the
     G-virus and transformed into this
     monster. This monster is also called
     "G", but to help distinguish its name
     from the virus, the monster is
     sometimes called Birkin G.

     This monster underwent extreme
     mutations until eventually reaching a
     fifth form when it was finally
     destroyed by Leon and Claire in the
     research facility under Raccoon City.

"Fourth Survivor 1" [H1]

  -HUNK Profile
     He has carried out a large number of
     successful operations, many of which he
     was the only one to return alive from,
     earning HUNK the nickname "Grim Reaper."
     He is a member of Umbrella Special
     Forces and was the operative that single
     handedly retrieved the G-virus despite
     the rest of his unit being wiped out by
     the G creature that used to be William
     Birkin.

     Cold, silent and devoid of emotion, he
     is a human machine. He has never shown
     his true nature, and even his true face
     is unknown.

  -Umbrella Special Forces
     The elite special forces unit owned and
     operated by Umbrella. They report
     directly to the highest ranking officers
     in Umbrella. Unlike the U.B.C.S. which
     performs more visible missions such as
     rescuing civilians, this unit maintains
     total secrecy and a small size.

     Delta Team was sent in to blow up the
     Ecliptic Express after the trouble
     occurred, but they were overwhelmed by
     the leeches and wiped out. One of the
     unit's more notable members, HUNK,
     belongs to the Alpha Team and carried
     out the impossible mission of retrieving
     the G-virus from the research facility
     under Raccoon City.

  -Chief's Diary
     September 23rd
     It's all over. Those imbeciles from
     Umbrella have finally done it...
     Despite all their promises, they've
     ruined my beautiful city. Soon the
     streets will be infested with zombies.
     I'm beginning to think that I may
     even be infected myself. If I am,
     I'll make sure I kill every last person
     in this town!

     September 24th
     I was successful in spreading confusion
     among the police as planned. I've made
     sure that no one from the outside will
     come to help.

     With the delays in police action, no
     one will have the chance to escape
     my city alive.

     I've seen to it personally that all
     escape routes from inside the
     precinct have been cut off as well.

     There are several survivors still
     attempting to escape through the lower
     levels, but I'll make sure no one gets
     out.

     September 26th
     I've had a change of plans about the
     remaining survivors inside the precinct.
     I've decided to hunt them down myself.

     I shot Ed in the back less than an hour
     ago. I watched him writhe in pain open
     the floor in a pool of his own blood.
     The expression on his face was
     positively exquisite.

     He died with his eyes wide open,
     staring up at me. It was beautiful.

     I wonder if the mayor's daughter is
     still alive? I let her escape so I could
     enjoy hunting her down later... I'm
     going to enjoy my new trophy.
     Frozen forever in the pose I choose
     to give her.

"Umbrella's End 1" [I1]

  -Umbrella Russian Branch Notes
     This branch of Umbrella is a research
     lab located in the Caucasus region,
     in the south of Russia. On the surface,
     it appears to be a government-operated
     chemical processing plant, but it has
     been taken over by Umbrella after the
     fall of the Soviet Union and maintained
     as a front.

     Umbrella built facilities beneath the
     surface to perform viral and B.O.W.
     research. It is Umbrella's newest base
     and serves as Sergei Vladimir's
     headquarters.

  -Umbrella Raccoon City Judgment
     After the Raccoon City incident, the
     U.S. government issued an order for
     Umbrella to cease and desist all
     operations. In response, Ozwell E.
     Spencer hired the best lawyers money
     could buy and prepared false witnesses
     to try and create the appearance of a
     conspiracy with which to turn the public
     opinion away from Umbrella and toward
     the government.

     Survivors of the incident presented
     their testimonies, but the lack of
     evidence, most of which had been wiped
     out in the eradication operation, and
     the withholding of testimony by
     government employees, who feared being
     implicated, made the case drag on
     without a conclusion.

  -Talos Project Proposal
     Next-Generation B.O.W. Proposal

             Arklay B.O.W. Research Team

     The success of the T-002 Tyrant
     experiment has shown us that progress
     towards a marketable humanoid B.O.W.
     is moving along nicely

     However, we must strive to continue
     the research and development of
     cutting-edge products to satisfy the
     varying needs of our clients.

     The plan our team proposes is as
     follows.

     1) Tuning Control Synapse Connector

     The current risk with deployment of
     T-virus based weaponry is the lack of
     control.

     Sudden cellular mutations can result
     in the halting of functionality,
     impairment of judgment, and the
     various other conditions reported
     in the past. In order to enable the
     safe transport and deployment of
     this weaponry, a more stable
     solution is essential.

     Our 6th Research Lab in Europe has
     discovered one method of control by
     using organic parasites.

     We would like to pursue a more
     consistent result by using chip
     connections to brain cells. We are in
     the final stages of testing and feel
     confident in the likelihood of product
     realization.

     2) Enhancement of Combat Functionality
     for Land-Based Weaponry

     The Tyrant boasts a combat prowess
     and survivability that far surpasses
     that of even the best-trained combat
     troops. However, it is still only
     theoretically capable of successfully
     deterring roughly one military division.

     When facing AFVs or military-grade
     helicopters, its kill ratio begins to
     falter.

     By arming the Tyrant with specialized
     combat firepower and armor, it will
     become more fit for the variety of
     situations it is likely to face in the
     field.

     In the past, the ideal has been to leave
     the Tyrant unhindered by additional
     equipment so that it can maximize its
     two strong points - motor performance
     and response reflexes.

     However, the use of enhanced armor
     modules, internal reinforcement
     implants, long distance homing weaponry,
     etc. could preserve the natural
     abilities of the Tyrant while maximizing
     its options in field maneuvers.

     The potential for this enhancement is
     fast becoming a reality. When complete,
     it could make the Tyrant the ultimate
     all-in-one combat package.

  -Eradication Operation Notes
     Even after the mansion incident had
     ended, the "cannibal disease" (T-virus)
     had spread to Raccoon City, plunging it
     into a state of panic. The city was
     quarantined, while R.P.D. officers and
     U.B.C.S. soldiers attempted to rescue
     its citizens. The situation grew more
     and more desperate and the possibility
     of the virus spreading beyond the
     quarantine was growing.

     The U.S. government was concerned and
     called a nationwide conference to
     discuss the next step. They formulated a
     plan for the complete eradication of the
     city. In compliance, on October 1st,
     1998, the military launched a strategic
     missile into the heart of the city.
     Raccoon City, with its 100,000
     inhabitants, was forever wiped from the
     face of the earth.

  -Richard Aiken's Letter
     Dear Bridgette,

     I understand your concerns about me
     taking up this dangerous line of work.
     As a member of S.T.A.R.S., I will always
     be in the line of fire. I figured this
     was as good a time as any to try and
     explain my actions.

     Bridgette, I know I've talked about her
     before, but the memory of my little
     sister eats at me from the inside.
     I couldn't save her from that criminal.

     I know you tried to console me,
     telling me that there was nothing I
     could do being so young. But I was so
     paralyzed by fear and doubt that I
     couldn't do anything.

     My baby sister was killed right in front
     of my very eyes and I couldn't move
     an inch. I couldn't protect her.
     I was so helpless. I feels like I
     should have died in her place and I
     just can't shake that feeling.

     All I can do is try to bury that feeling
     and protect the people that need it
     most, so they don't have to go
     through what I did. I'm not giving up
     this job, and I will continue to protect
     who I can.

     S.T.A.R.S. is the only way I can live
     with myself.

     I don't want to die in vain. I never
     want to hesitate when that moment
     comes again.

     Don't worry, I'm not that little kid
     anymore and I'll come back alive.

     I promise.

     You're the most important thing in my
     life, and I always want to be there for
     you when you need me.

     Love,
     Richard

  -Leon S. Kennedy Profile
     After graduating from the police
     academy, he asks to be assigned to the
     Raccoon City police who are in the
     middle of investigating the bizarre
     murders in the area. Upon arrival to the
     devastated city, he does what he can to
     rescue the survivors.

     Although he has little practical
     experience, he makes up for it with a
     strong survival instinct and natural
     abilities. Once escaping Raccoon City,
     he is scouted to become an agent for the
     U.S. government. He has a strong sense
     of justice and never hesitates to act.
     His youth can sometimes lead him astray
     when it comes to the fairer sex.

  -Emergency Orders
     Emergency Orders

     As of 12 A.M. today,
     September 29th, 1998, in provision
     with Article 12 of the Internal
     Emergency Procedures, all
     equipment and personnel are now
     under the command of the Captain
     of the Guard, Sergei Vladimir.

     His orders are to be strictly obeyed.
     Any attempts to disobey orders will be
     punishable by death.

     1) This vessel is to infiltrate Raccoon
     City and air drop T1 into the R.P.D.
     police station to take care of any
     possible survivors.

     2) The remaining Ts on board should be
     dropped in the P-12A Incinerator
     Facility. They will be able to respond
     to well-equipped and well-trained U.S.
     special forces in the area. We must make
     sure we take all necessary steps to
     clean them up.

     3) After completing the preceding
     steps, this vessel is to retreat from
     Raccoon City airspace as quickly as
     possible. After releasing all of the Ts,
     there will be another piece of cargo
     to be transported. Details will follow
     later.

"Umbrella's End 3" [I3]

  -T-A.L.O.S. Notes
     Codename T-A.L.O.S. The "T" stands for
     Tyrant and the rest of the codename
     stands for Armored Lethal Organic
     System. This bioweapon uses a Tyrant as
     a base, while adding remote computer
     control capabilities via a chip
     implanted in the brain.

     Its cardiovascular system is
     artificially improved to give it
     mobility unthinkable in a
     natural organism. Its body is
     armored in a special metallic
     allow that not only helps it
     defend itself from missiles and
     other projectile fire, but also
     restrains runaway T-virus
     mutation.

     It has also been equipped with weaponry
     to allow it to respond to distant
     targets. Although it is a humanoid
     B.O.W., it has enough armor and
     firepower to stand against a tank. The
     codename also represents the name of a
     bronze giant from Greek mythology.

  -Sergei Vladimir Profile
     An officer in Umbrella. During his army
     days, he held the rank of colonel and is
     still called that on occasion as a
     nickname. He approached Umbrella after
     the fall of the Soviet Union, looking
     for work. He is involved in Tyrant
     research and his experience in military
     affairs has made him instrumental in the
     founding of Umbrella's private militia,
     the U.B.C.S.

     He shows an ardor for following
     Spencer's orders and makes sure even the
     most radical of Spencer's wishes are
     carried out.

  -Red Queen Notes
     The code name for the AI defense system
     developed by Umbrella. The AI is
     contained within U.M.F.-013. However,
     the AI has unrestricted access to the
     entire Umbrella network for
     administration, monitoring and carrying
     out certain procedures.

     This additional functionality is a
     security fail-safe but, in most
     circumstances, Red Queen is in the
     background performing only its primary
     monitoring function. In emergencies, it
     will serve a more active role and
     protect sensitive systems and data from
     intrusion along with cleaning up
     hostiles.

     It is self-aware and can take
     these measures based on its own
     judgment.

  -Albert Wesker Profile</pre><pre id="faqspan-3">
     One of the men behind the biohazard
     outbreak, and always seen with his
     signature shades on. Wesker possesses
     knowledge about biological engineering
     and used to be an agent for Umbrella. He
     was planted in S.T.A.R.S. to spy on them
     and was even made their commanding
     officer.

     Wesker took particular note of
     Chris and his combat prowess while in
     charge of the team. He is cold-blooded
     and has no qualms about betraying the
     people who place their faith in him. He
     betrayed and killed Marcus, lured
     S.T.A.R.S. into the mansion and nearly
     wiped them out, and even pretended to be
     dead to join Umbrella's rival company.

     Wesker was the one who sent Ada Wong to
     retrieve the G-virus and was involved in
     the incidents at Rockfort Island. He
     appears intent on gathering as much data
     as possible on viral weaponry. Since
     injecting himself with a virus during
     the events at the mansion, his power has
     grown far beyond that of a normal human
     being.

  -Ivan Notes
     A derivation of the T-103 Tyrant line
     the Sergei has re-engineered to act as
     his personal bodyguard. Its basic combat
     functionality is that of a T-103, but it
     has been modified to better assimilate
     into human society. In addition to the
     trademark T-103 defensive coat, this
     model is also equipped with sunglasses
     that include an HMD.

     Major improvements with this model
     include greater powers of comprehension
     and the ability to pass as human. It is
     still a T-103, and as such, can
     transform into a Super Tyrant when the
     situation calls for it.

  -U.M.F.-013 Notes
     The 13th generation supercomputer
     contained in the underground Raccoon
     City research facility shelter. All of
     the data gathered from the network of
     Umbrella's branches around the world is
     stored as a backup on this mainframe.

     This wealth of information is kept in
     one location to serve as a safety
     measure should Umbrella run into
     difficult and need to be
     re-established.

"Dark Legacy 1" [J1]

  -Wesker Report Extract on "Her"
     July 31, 1978
     We knew nothing about her.
     She was the biggest secret at the
     laboratory and her data was never
     removed from the premises.

     The records showed that she had been
     there ever since the institute was
     established.

     She was 25 years old.
     No one knew who she way or why she
     was there.

     Apparently, she was a human specimen
     to develop the "T-virus" on.

     The experiment began on
     November 10th, 1967.

     She had been continuing to receive
     virus injections for 11 years.

     July 27, 1981
     He worked through the night at
     the lab time after time and repeated
     disorganized experiments, one after
     another.

     My staff and I collected biopsy samples
     as quickly as possible before the
     specimens could die, but we couldn't
     keep up with his speed.

     The Laboratory Manager supplied the
     new specimens as if nothing had
     happened, but they didn't survive long.

     It was hell.

     But the female specimen survived
     that hell.

     She was 28 years old by then an
     had spent 14 years in this lab.

     The numerous injections of the
     "Progenitor" virus she had received
     over the past 14 years would have left
     her bereft of any logical reasoning.

     It's just as well because if she still
     had any mind left, death would have
     been the one and only thing she
     would desire.

     Somehow, she continued to live.

     July 31st, 1995
     Her termination was decided after three
     researchers had become her victims.

     With the study of the "G-virus" on
     track, she no longer had her status as a
     valuable specimen.

     The termination of her vital signs was
     monitors and confirmed over the next
     three days. Then, the body was finally
     taken away to some unknown location
     at the instruction of the Laboratory
     Manager.

     Even now, I still do not know who she
     was and why she was brought here.

"Dark Legacy 2" [J2]

  -Letter from Sergei to Nicholai
     Nicholai, I apologize for the delay in
     responding

     Your offer definitely has the potential
     to turn quite a profit. However, the
     price I had to pay was high and had
     to be considered carefully.

     I have not changed my mind about
     relinquishing them. I understand that
     these ten soldiers I've found alongside
     with are nothing more than a number, a
     price tag, to Umbrella.

     I'm sure you are finding this all quite
     amusing, Silver Fox, but this is a sad
     day for me. I feared the day I would
     have to make this decision.

     After all, these men were all raised by
     me and are a part of me. I can't help
     but feel reservations about turning
     these thinking, feeling human beings
     into biological weapons and cursing
     them to an eternity of living death.

     However, I have made my decision
     and will not waver. Progress is always
     built on sacrifice. If we are to truly
     restore our Mother into the great
     country she once was, I am willing to
     endure any amount of suffering and a
     price in blood is still a small price to
     pay.

     If I have to cut down my very body,
     it is a sacrifice I am willing to make.
     I will wail and shed tears of blood
     and rend every last flesh of regret
     from my body if it means I can usher
     in a new age.

     My answer comrade is yes.
     Silver Fox, your wish shall be granted.

     Sergei Vladimir

  -Wesker's Notes on Differing Mutations
     I have a theory on Sergei's unique
     course of evolution.

     I had always assumed that the variety of
     effects the virus brings about on its
     host were mere random mutations.

     However, witnessing first-hand the
     effects on Sergei combined with what
     I know of Marcus's transformation
     points to a common threat between
     their outcomes.

     The host's mindset appears to influence
     the evolution of the virus.

     Sergei mutated into a monster whose
     very body is the picture of suffering
     as he was ripped apart from the
     inside by thorns. I can only imagine
     that his transformation represents
     the true mindset of the person he
     was inside.

     While I have no proof, my intuition
     tells me that his must be the case.
     If the personality of the host can truly
     affect the course of the virus
     manifestation, were does that leave me?

  -Sergei Monster Notes
     Sergei transformed into this monster
     after injecting himself with a virus.
     The tentacles binding his arms fuse into
     one large tentacle. At the end of this
     appendage is a dangerous claw that can
     be used for movement or attacking.

  -Online Interview with Anti-Umbrella Activist
     Reporter:
     The trial is the talk of the Internet
     and queries on popular search engines
     continue to make the top three list.
     However, there are many who raise
     their eyebrows at your battle against
     the multinational corporation as
     carrying things too far. What is your
     opinion on this?

     Sara:
     Umbrella is not just another
     out-for-profit corporation, they are a
     powerful organization closely resembling
     an army or a country. We have no choice
     but to wage war this way on a company
     trying to cover up the truth. We have
     battled in court for almost half a
     decade now to reach a verdict against
     Umbrella and we would do it again if
     given the choice.

     Reporter:
     So you're the David fighting the
     Goliath of Umbrella. However, no
     that a decision has been handed down,
     the problem's solved right?

     Sara: One problem was solved, but some
     doubt still remains and I feel it's too
     early to celebrate our victory.

     Reporter:
     Doubt? And what doubt would that be?

     Sara:
     There are two questions we need
     to ask ourselves. First, why is it that
     it has taken so long for evidence
     against Umbrella to appear? Why now?
     Second, why is the nature of that
     evidence still being concealed to this
     day?

     Reporter:
     There are a lot of popular theories
     flying around about that one.

     Sara:
     Take a look at the court records. It
     seems as if the evidence was data
     being stored on a computer. Umbrella
     must have been hiding it right to the
     very end.

     The most likely reason none of
     this evidence has gone public is
     that is contains information that
     would incriminate many world
     governments, including our own.
     This evidence is also rumored to have
     been acquired from dealings with an
     anti-social organization.

     Reporter:
     But Umbrella's gone. Certainly that
     means the biggest menace is out of
     the way right?

     Sara:
     Have the wrongdoings of Umbrella
     come to light? Certainly. But all of
     the data on virus production and
     biological weaponry has not.
     I don't feel the data has been erased,
     but that it has ended up in someone's
     hands, someone who will inherit
     Umbrella's dark legacy.

     Reporter:
     Inheriting a dark legacy? That sounds
     like something out of a TV show.

     Sara:
     It's easy to laugh and dismiss it as
     some movie of the week story.
     However, if there is any chance that
     such a possibility is true, it is worth
     our concern. Humans can be foolish
     creatures.

     Even after witnessing the
     destructive might that wiped out an
     entire city, someone could still steal
     that power and try to use it to further
     their own ambitions, regardless of the
     price to be paid. Umbrella may only be
     the beginning of this nightmare. The
     mystery surrounding the court decision
     makes that much pretty obvious.

  -Ozwell E. Spencer Profile
     The founder of Umbrella Corporation.
     Ozwell E. Spencer is a man of noble
     birth and together with James Marcus and
     Edward Ashford, he discovered the
     Progenitor virus. To continue
     researching the virus as a potential
     biological weapon, the three created
     Umbrella Corporation as a front for
     their activities.

     Spencer mercilessly removed rival after
     rival, continuing to expand his own
     influence. With the completion of
     research on the T-virus, he seized full
     control of Umbrella. He never reveals
     himself or his true intentions even to
     officers of the company, leaving Spencer
     a figure shrouded in mystery.
