Name: Albert Wesker.
Age: Approximately late forties.
Gender: Male.
Biography: Albert was raised as part of Project W, children from parents with above-average intelligence kidnapped and given the surname Wesker.
Wesker joined the international pharmaceutical enterprise Umbrella Corporation, at the age of 17 and began working as one of its researchers. In 1977, Wesker was assigned to the Management Training Facility under Doctor James Marcus. Wesker became friends with fellow trainee William Birkin, becoming colleagues and accomplices for years to come. Both Wesker and Birkin were regarded by Marcus as his best apprentices, and when the Training Facility was closed down on July 29, 1978, the two were personally transferred to the Arklay Research Facility (underneath Ozwell E. Spencer's estate) to continue their own T-virus research (while Marcus continued to work on his own), becoming the facility's chief researchers.

Wesker and Birkin's research of the T-virus lasted over 13 years and three different stages. In 1988, when the research reached its third stage (the creation of the Tyrant bio-weapon), Wesker and Birkin were then ordered by Spencer to assassinate their former mentor, Marcus and steal all of his research. Shortly after, Birkin's research yielded the discovery of the G-virus in Lisa Trevor's body. When Spencer approved his project in 1991, Wesker began having doubts about Spencer's intentions and requested a transfer to Umbrella's Intelligence Bureau that same year.
In 1996, Wesker formed the Raccoon City Police Department's S.T.A.R.S. unit and served as its captain and as leader of one of its two squads, Alpha Team. Two years after the formation of S.T.A.R.S., a series of homicides occurred near the Arklay region. While the public feared these deaths were the work of a local cult, only Wesker knew the truth. In an effort to control the public outcry, S.T.A.R.S. Bravo Team was dispatched to the region to investigate the situation. Wesker used the time they were gone as an opportunity to gather battle data by pitting the members of S.T.A.R.S. against Umbrella's Bio-Organic Weapons (B.O.W.s).
At the same time, Wesker and Birkin were ordered to reclaim the Umbrella Training Facility. Unfortunately, the resurrected James Marcus destroyed any chance of reclaiming it. Forced to destroy the facility, Wesker realized this to be the perfect opportunity to leave Umbrella to pursue his own personal interests. After barely escaping his superior Sergei Vladimir, Wesker prepared to dispatch the S.T.A.R.S. Alpha team to the region.
The following day, all contact with Bravo team was lost and Wesker's Alpha Team was dispatched to the site. Upon arrival, Alpha Team was attacked by Cerberus and then, abandoned by their pilot, Brad Vickers. After the loss of member Joseph Frost to the dogs, Wesker and the remaining members of Alpha team sought refuge in the nearby mansion, where Wesker had previously worked. Initially ordering everyone to split up, Wesker disappeared and left the remaining members of Alpha team (Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine and Barry Burton) to fend for themselves.
Of the nine S.T.A.R.S. operatives who entered the mansion (including Wesker himself), only the members of Alpha Team, along with Bravo team's Enrico Marini and Rebecca Chambers, managed to survive against the various creatures and bio-organic weapons that infested the facility. In order to ensure the downfall of the other members, Wesker used extortion in order to convince Barry to do his bidding (luring the others to traps) by threatening his family. When Enrico uncovered evidence that implicated Wesker and Umbrella, Wesker murdered Enrico. However, Chris and Jill learned the truth about Wesker and then, proceeded to foil his plot by destroying the T-002 Tyrant, along with the facility itself.
During the ensuing chaos, Wesker injected himself with a primitive variant of the T-virus given to him by his partner, William Birkin. After allowing the Tyrant to kill him, the virus reanimated his body. This gave him superhuman strength, agility and regeneration, but at the severe cost of the loss of his humanity. The resulting mutation also gave him gold-red cat-like eyes (but these are not immediately noticeable, due to the sunglasses he always wears). Wesker was revived, while the remaining S.T.A.R.S. operatives were convinced that he died in the explosion. After reviving, Wesker realized the S.T.A.R.S. had destroyed the Tyrant and escaped with their lives. He then tried to steal the data from the labratory, finding that Sergei had download the data to the Russian base and the Red Queen had locked Wesker from the mainframe system. He swore revenge against the remaining S.T.A.R.S. members and Sergei. His plans foiled, Wesker escaped the mansion.
Personality: Power-hungry, intelligent and cunning, Albert Wesker was a man who sought power and domination over the entire human race, all for his own gain. To this end, he was affiliated with the Umbrella Corporation, as one of its most promising researchers, and at the same time participated in illicit activities by going undercover in the Raccoon City Police Department's Special Tactics and Rescue Squad unit (S.T.A.R.S.), becoming one of its team leaders. This changed before, during and after the Raccoon City Outbreak, where Wesker became affiliated with a mysterious group known as "The Agency", and became instrumental in bringing about the downfall of Umbrella, and later joined the "S" Corporation, while planning to recreate the world in his own image.
Abilities: As a result of his viral infection, Wesker was granted a number of superhuman abilities, essentially becoming Umbrella's most powerful tyrant. Wesker demonstrates incredible speed and reflexes, and is capable of dodging bullets at practically point blank range with minimal effort, even those from rapidfire weapons such as miniguns, or multiple shot weapons like shotguns. His speed enables him to cover great distances in short time and he is capable of short dashes of speed faster than the (normal) human brain can process, causing him to appear to be teleporting. He also demonstrates considerable physical strength as he is shown lifting large missiles with one hand and throwing them, lifting large steel girders off of his body, and lifting an adult human off the ground with one hand easily. Beyond this his strength is so great that he can punch straight through the chest of a person and a single thrust is enough to send someone flying. The infection has also given him a rapid healing factor which, coupled with his incredible endurance, renders him nearly invincible to conventional damage. A rocket exploding right in his hands was only sufficient to weaken him for a moment, and thousands of pounds of steel falling a few stories onto him failed to even incapacitate him. He is also capable of jumping to great heights in little amounts of time.
