Information

Leader of the S.T.A.R.S. Alpha Team. The very image of cool, he has a distinctively dignified way about him, and his trademark black sunglasses give him an unapproachable air. He wears a tactical vest over his uniform, carries extra ammunition in a mag pouch on his side, and has a wireless receiver affixed to his left chest. In his leg holster, he has a Samurai Edge that he customized himself. His shooting skills are nearly as good as those of the ace, Chris Redfield.


Furthermore, having a degree in bioengineering, Wesker worked at the Arklay Lab alongside William Birkin, who was later to discover the G-Virus. His purpose was the study of the T-Virus. But after his betrayal of James Marcus, chief of the officer training school, the destinies of these two were sundered. While William advanced into the very nucleus of the Umbrella Corporation, Wesker resigned himself to working as an information officer. Afterward, when S.T.A.R.S. was established, he was made team leader. He then began counterintelligence work aimed at preventing S.T.A.R.S. from discovering the truth.


The turning point for Wesker came when he was dispatched to Arklay Mountain. He planned to defy his secret order to obliterate S.T.A.R.S. and obtain combat data. In reality, he had been planning with one of Umbrella's competitors to betray them, and was looking to make a good impression. But his plans were spoiled by Chris and Jill, and Wesker was forced to move on to his backup plan. That was to steal the G-Virus that William had been working on. Two months after the Mansion Incident, Wesker made his move, along with the spy Ada Wong. This time, his plans were stopped by the intervention of Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield, as well as Umbrella's Special Engineering Corps. However, he finally stole the G-virus from the remaining corpses and managed to escape from Raccoon City just before the bomb was dropped.


After stealing the G-Virus, Wesker regained his honor, but that wasn't enough to satisfy him. His next goal was to take command over the emerging young scientific genius Alexia Ashford at the underground laboratory at the South Pole. In order to obtain T-Veronica, the new virus that she'd created by herself, Wesker led his secret organization's elite commandos in an attack on Rockfort Island. While still acting in his undercover role, he planned a fateful reunion with his original junior officer and greatest rival, Chris. Not as a human, but as a new organism. A deviant from the natural world...
