Albert Wesker is the main antagonist of the Resident Evil franchise.
He is a high-ranking researcher and later one of the commanders of the Umbrella Corporation, who also served as a double agent within S.T.A.R.S. as the captain of Alpha Team. Wesker would later betray Umbrella and surface as a member of a mysterious organization looking to profit off of Umbrella's research. Eventually this plan was terminated due to being stopped by Chris Redfield, his arch-enemy.
Wesker would go on to pursue his megalomaniacal desire for world domination by planning to unleash and later fusing with Uroboros virus to eliminate anyone who gets in his way.

Wesker is a tall Caucasian male of muscular stature, sporting short blonde hair and almost always seen wearing a pair of sunglasses over his orange eyes. In his first design, his outfit is that of the blue S.T.A.R.S. Uniform, with a bulletproof vest, black pants with combat boots with his signature sidearm, the Samurai Edge pistol, concealed in his holster.
After his resurrection from death at the hands of a Tyrant, the only physical changes he had was in his eyes, whose pupils narrowed and took on the appearance of slits while the color changed to a yellow or red hue. In addition, his eyes also developed a form of periodic bio-illumination, glowing a deep shade of red whenever he felt an intense emotion, such as anger. After his departure from Umbrella, he would often be seen wearing a completely black suit with black gloves when he was under employment of a mysterious organizations, in addition to one of his appearances in Code Veronica, where he sports a black tactical shirt and pants, and combat boots with black gloves. In Resident Evil 5, along with his black tactical clothes, he also sports a long trenchcoat.

Little is known of Wesker's childhood, even his real name. It is understood he inherited advantageous genes relating to intelligence from his parents. Taken from his parents at a young age by agents of Oswell E. Spencer, Earl Spencer, he was raised in one of perhaps several homes funded by the Spencer Foundation. This was to serve as the first stage of a eugenics project, which sought to raise a group of likeminded, gifted intellectuals who could, in the future, be infected with a stabilized variant of the Progenitor Virus and entrusted with its superhuman effects. The children, all named "Wesker" after the project leader, were raised to share Spencer's values, harboring particular disdain for war and pestilence, believing humans to be an evolutionary dead-end in need of order, deliverance and rebirth. In this regard, he stood out before the other Weskers for his absolute ambition in these aspects. To guarantee they reach their potential, each Wesker was raised in an environment that would allow them to receive the best education possible. The children went into different fields of study, with Albert pursuing an education and career in biotechnology.
Having been head-hunted by the Spencer Foundation for his promising grades, Wesker was hired by Umbrella Pharmaceuticals in 1977. With the intent on indoctrinating him and other child prodigies, he was given a place at a company-run boarding school, the Umbrella Executive Training Center, with a lesson program built to indoctrinate these children with the aggressive and inhuman values required to advance Umbrella's viral weapons research.[11] The class of 1978 was criticized by the Deputy Director for being lackluster, with the exception of Wesker and the sixteen year old Dr. William Birkin, who showed a combination of talent and a ruthless character that would do well for the company. Dr. James Marcus, one of the co-founders of Umbrella Pharmaceuticals and the director of the facility, took great interest in Wesker and Birkin, and earned his trust.[12] Following a series of company scandals that were covered-up, the training school was closed at the end of the year, with the two students being immediately offered jobs and transferred to the nearby Arklay Laboratory as senior researchers,[13] secretly as a reward for stealing a sample of Marcus' completed t-Virus strain.
Wesker's involvement in the t-Virus Project began immediately after he and Birkin were assigned to the Arklay Laboratory. The two arrived at a time when Umbrella was considering developing Ebola-based viral weaponry officially as part of a vaccination program. The two were successful in splicing genes from Ebola onto the stolen t-Virus strain, creating an altered virus that was better able to bypass the immune system, increasing the chances of humans surviving infection and becoming Zombies. This rejection of Spencer's idea of t-Virus being used specifically for killing paved the way for a wide array of future research.
With the t-Virus Project progressing well, despite only developing B.O.W.s of decent but sub-human intelligence, Umbrella began pressuring the duo to come up with newer research. At some point in 1988, Spencer ordered that Dr. Marcus be assassinated and his body dumped away; both Arklay researchers attended the assassination to immediately recover ten years of research data, which he had kept for himself.[14] The Tyrant Project, meanwhile, represented the next step in t-Virus weaponry, but due to the virus of the time only giving advantageous mutations to people with certain intelligence-regulating genes (statistically one in ten million), the project was stalled until a new t-Virus strain could be engineered which would make it easier to create Tyrant prototypes, which could then be cloned.
As a workaround, the two were able to get a favor from Spencer to obtain an intelligent B.O.W. parasite engineered by Umbrella Europe; the parasite, dubbed Nemesis Alpha, could solve the problem by hijacking a B.O.W.'s body and follow complex orders from trainers. The parasite was inserted into the body of a mutant human test subject, Lisa Trevor, to observe its reactions. When the parasite was killed by Trevor's immune system, this led to the discovery of Golgotha Virus and Dr. Birkin's transfer away from the facility to NEST. Wesker also decided to leave the laboratory behind, confused about Spencer's motives in approving and funding Golgotha, as it was already seen as worthless for bio-weapons development. He took up employment with their intelligence bureau to find answers.
Over the course of the 1990s, Wesker was able to gain new employment with other groups by officially being an ex-Umbrella employee. From around 1991 he served with the US Army where his biotechnology experience proved useful to the US military as an engineering officer. This was likely for the Pentagon's illegal bio-weapons project running, though his career in this time is classified. The military was presumably unaware of his work as a mole. Around this time, Wesker entered into a sexual relationship with a Serbian woman immigrant from Edonia whose last name was Muller, but lost interest soon after, unaware she was pregnant with his child.
Following his Army career, Wesker was reassigned by Umbrella in 1996 to serve in S.T.A.R.S., a private-funded police special forces unit in Raccoon City. The Special Tactics and Rescue Service was effectively Umbrella's private army, nominally raised to deal with the increasing threat of domestic terrorism in the American heartland, and earning them a direct source within the Raccoon Police Department should an investigation linger uncomfortably close to the company. He was made Captain of the Alpha Team and given seniority over Bravo Team Captain Enrico Marini.
For the next two years, Wesker worked closely with fellow Alpha Team teammates Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine, Barry Burton, Brad Vickers and Joseph Frost as their Captain as a means of earning their trust to maintain his cover. At some point Wesker and the other S.T.A.R.S. members began a joint project with their exclusive arms supplier Gun Shop Kendo to develop the Beretta 92F Custom 'Samurai Edge' which each member supposedly getting their own exclusive variant to suit their needs with Wesker designing most of the modifications for his own Samurai Edge himself.
The Spring and Summer of 1998 saw considerable upset to Umbrella in Raccoon City. The new ε strain infected a number of staff at the Arklay Laboratory in May, prompting a quarantine of the staff while its guards made preparations to shoot all escapees. Wesker and Birkin personally visited the lab shortly after the alarm was raised to evacuate the cloned embryos of the T-002 Tyrant, one of Umbrella's most important assets. Wesker also gave orders to forbid phone calls in order to limit the spread of information.
Escaped Cerberus B.O.W.s did however escape their cages and began killing and attacking civilians in Raccoon Forest, with infected survivors going on to kill others. By July the number of killings had surpassed 20 civilians in what the RPD theorized to be the work of a cult. Unable to locate suspects and/or any logical motives public outcry grew to fever pitch. After the lack of results of an extensive dragnet by Raccoon Police and after press backlash, the RPD assigned the case to S.T.A.R.S. No longer able to manage the situation from within, Umbrella HQ produced the "X-Day" plans, giving Wesker a series of tasks to perform during the mission. He received orders to sacrifice S.T.A.R.S. to the mutants to provide combat data, eliminating them as witnesses; to collect the remaining B.O.W. embryos, and to finally destroy the Arklay Laboratory itself to wipe out all trace of the virus. On 23 July, Wesker sabotaged the engine of Bravo Team's helicopter, which would prevent their escape and require Alpha Team's subsequent investigation.
During the S.T.A.R.S. preparation, Wesker and Birkin also had other duties with the company and was to oversee the reopening of the executive training school, possibly to make up for the loss of the Arklay Laboratory. An attack by a nascent mutant leech colony destroyed two armed investigation teams and infected the occupants of a private train taking key personnel to the school. To prevent the outbreak spreading out further, the two made plans to blow up the training school. While there, Wesker encountered Col. Sergei Vladimir, the executive in charge of the UBCS,[26] after Umbrella HQ took notice of the incident. Wesker escaped from the facility before its destruction, but his experiences in the night convinced him abandoning Umbrella was now essential. He agreed to a rival company's offer of employment in exchange for giving them the embryo samples rather than handing them over to Umbrella.
On the evening of 24 July, Wesker led Alpha Team out to the mountains as he had expected. To better his chances of survival, Wesker was provided with a mutant t-Virus strain designed to mutate his body to enhance his strength and regenerative abilities. Soon after arriving at Bravo Team's helicopter site, where RPD pilot Kevin Dooley's body was discovered, the team was attacked by the Cerberus pack and Joseph Frost killed, with pilot Brad Vickers abandoning the group in a panic.[23] After saving Chris from being attacked by a Cerberus, Wesker and the surviving members fled to the nearby Spencer Mansion to seek shelter. Inside, Wesker separated the team into groups to investigate different areas of the house. He also threatened Barry Burton with the nonexistent threat of his family's murder, forcing him to assist in the confiscation or destruction of incriminating evidence. Wesker discovered Captain Enrico Marini to be alive and having incriminating evidence against Umbrella and promptly shot him in the underground tunnels before fleeing.
In the lab, Wesker began preparations for waking up the Tyrant to kill the remaining S.T.A.R.S. survivors, infecting himself with the mutant virus strain shortly before doing so. He was cornered by his comrades while in the chamber and confessed his role in Umbrella's conspiracy before ordering the Tyrant to attack them. However, T-002 recognized Wesker as a participant in the Tyrant Project, and he stabbed Wesker first, impaling him through the chest before going after the others. Though Wesker was seriously wounded, the virus in his body had succeeded in mutating him to possess impressive regenerative abilities, and he woke up in an empty room. With the self-destruct system prematurely activated and his computer access restricted by Col. Vladimir and the RED QUEEN AI, Wesker was unable to recover the embryos or any important data to hand over to Umbrella's rival company. He narrowly escaped the destruction of the mansion after a fight with Lisa Trevor, but his improved speed ensured his survival. Believed dead by Umbrella and S.T.A.R.S., Wesker was able to gain employment within the company despite his failure to provide the samples.
