Albert
Wesker appeared in the original Resident Evil (1996). Although portrayed as a
supporting character in the first Resident Evil, he later became the
primary antagonist of the series. He
was introduced as the commanding officer of Special Tactics And Rescue Service
(STARS) and leader of the Alpha team. It was later revealed that Wesker is actually
double agent working for the evil Umbrella Corporation; ordered by his superiors
to lure the STARS Team into the Spencer mansion to be used as test subjects
against the mutated creatures to gather battle data. Eventually Chris,
Jill and the other members of STARS come
to learn of Wesker's true intentions, but after Tyrant is released, Wesker
appears to die, but it's actually part of his plans...
In Wesker's Report, Wesker reveals that he survived his apparent death by Tyrant
by injecting himself beforehand with an experimental virus that revived and
augmented him with superhuman strength, speed and regeneration, but at the
expense of his humanity. As the story progressed, Wesker became a conspirator
who manipulated events from behind the scenes. In Resident Evil 5, Wesker
is the main antagonist conspiring with Tricell Pharmaceutical Company to create
a virus called Uroboros which he ultimately plans to release into the Earth's
atmosphere, ensuring complete global saturation. Chris Redfield and Sheva Alomar
prevent the worldwide infection and ultimately kill Wesker inside a volcano at
the end of the game.
