Main organizations and members

Umbrella Corporation

The Umbrella Corporation is a British-based international pharmaceutical company in the ''Resident Evil'' universe. Founded in 1968 by prominent British royal descendants Oswell E. Spencer and Edward Ashford, along with Dr. James Marcus, it is portrayed in the series as a major international player in pharmaceutical goods and medical supplies, along with more clandestine operations utilizing genetic engineering. Their legitimate status is only a front for their secret research of "bio-organic weapons" (B.O.W.s), developed through the use of a unique mutagenic virus discovered by the company founders known as the Progenitor Virus. The company is also presented as having a more public face, producing cosmetics, consumer products, and foods. Umbrella established multiple secret research facilities to help develop various bio-weapons. Its most prominent research facility is located in the Arklay Mountains, just outside Raccoon City, which was able to develop the "T-virus", a powerful mutagen that could dramatically alter living and recently dead organisms. The virus leaked and contaminated most of the Arklay Facility and its surrounding area, setting the stage for the first ''Resident Evil'' game. Following the destruction of Raccoon City, all of Umbrella's assets were frozen by the U.S. Government with its trading rights revoked, effectively terminating its operations. However, it did not stop the rise of several bioterrorist organizations around the world, some of them making use of its research, leading to the foundation of BSAA. In '' Resident Evil 7: Biohazard'' reveals that Umbrella's American branch was revitalized as the nick-named “Blue Umbrella”, serving as a support company for legal anti-B.O.W. organizations. '' Resident Evil Village'' reveals Umbrella's origins are indirectly connected to Mother Miranda.

is the owner and co-founder of the Umbrella Corporation, a pharmaceutical drug company that secretly manufactures bio-organic weapons.Alexander Ashford: "My father, Edward, discovered the mother virus in cooperation with Lord Spencer, who was also a nobleman. They studied it for the purpose of military use." Capcom, ''Resident Evil – Code: Veronica'', Capcom, Nintendo GameCube, (in English), December 3, 2003. Spencer's backstory is largely told through in-game files. Born into one of the most powerful families of Europe, Spencer was given a prestigious childhood education, parts of the curriculum consisting of virology and eugenic studies. His favorite piece of literature was that of controversial explorer Henry Travis, who had documented a grove of rare culturally-sacred flowers in West Africa. As Spencer entered university, he formed a close friendship with James Marcus and Edward Ashford. Spencer would be forever changed during a hiking trip in the mountains of East Europe, where he became lost and then rescued by a mysterious woman known as Mother Miranda. A de facto biologist, Miranda was also a priestess who had cultivated a religion around a local super-colony of fungus that exhibited preternatural qualities. Under her wing as a research assistant, Spencer became inflamed by the idea of exploiting the biological secrets of the universe to improve and advance humankind. His views conflicted with Miranda, Spencer departed from his mentor, though he continued to correspond with her and would later dedicate his company's four-red logo to the Four Houses of Miranda's region. Inspired by the writings of Henry Travis, Spencer has his associate Dr. James Marcus make an expedition to West Africa, where the latter discovers the aforementioned flowers. Killing most people when ingested, the flower elicited superhuman abilities within a rare number of people who could survive its fatal effects—all thanks to a particular virus within the flower, a virus later dubbed by Spencer and his associates as the Progenitor virus. With the knowledge he acquired, Spencer developed a god complex while plotting to forcibly evolve humanity into a new superior race through genetic engineering and virology. With limited funding to exploit the flower and its virus, Spencer designs a seemingly benevolent front organization known as Umbrella Pharmaceuticals to accrue revenue so that his machinations on the virus may continue. His colleagues, James Marcus and Edward Ashford, join his company. Through a series of betrayals and espionage, Spencer quickly gains control of the company and its research, and sends subordinates to assassinate Marcus and Ashford.James Marcus: "Ten years ago, Spencer had me assassinated." Capcom, ''Resident Evil Zero'', Capcom, Nintendo GameCube, (in English), November 11, 2002. Spencer conducts some of his company's research in the Arklay Research Facility, located in the Arklay Mountains. He hires George Trevor, a famous architect, to construct a mansion to conceal the facility, however, with Trevor knowing the secret to the mansion he had just built, Spencer has the architect targeted for assassination and proceeds to abduct Trevor's wife and daughter, having them become test subjects for virus research and development. Trevor's daughter Lisa would become a promising specimen for new fields of bio-exploitation, experiencing much torment and mutilations in the process. Spencer's plans progress smoothly until Marcus returns from the dead through the Queen Leech as absorbing his genetic memory, motivated by revenge to destroy one of Spencer's luxury trains and cause a viral outbreak in the Arklay Research Facility.James Marcus: "It was I who scattered the T-Virus in the mansion, needless to say I contaminated the train too." Capcom, ''Resident Evil Zero'', Capcom, Nintendo GameCube, (in English), November 11, 2002. The outbreak spreads throughout the region, sparking the events of ''Resident Evil Zero'' and the original ''Resident Evil''. The virus subsequently spreads to Raccoon City during the events of ''Resident Evil 2'' and ''Resident Evil 3: Nemesis'', prompting the U.S. government to attempt to contain the outbreak by ordering the destruction of the city.

After the city's destruction, Spencer attempts to disguise the incident as a government conspiracy by hiring top lawyers and false witnesses. His actions prolong the legal proceedings and allow the Umbrella Corporation to stay afloat for five more years. Ultimately, Albert Wesker betrays Spencer by handing over secret documents to the U.S. government while providing personal testimony in court. Umbrella's business license is summarily suspended when most of its remains dismantled by the U.S. government. Spencer becomes a wanted man and goes into hiding at his mansion in Europe.

, the second main character of ''Resident Evil 3'',''Resident Evil 3'' Dreamcast manual is a mercenary and a former member of a South American communist guerrilla group. After the government forces wiped out his organization, Carlos was scouted out by the Umbrella Corporation to join Umbrella's UBCS. He joined the force and was assigned to Delta Platoon, Company A (serving alongside Nicholai Ginovaef and Mikhail Victor), which was in charge of heavy firearms and weapons maintenance. Despite his violent background, he is warm-hearted and known for joking around. In ''Resident Evil 3: Nemesis'', Carlos assists Jill Valentine throughout the game as the two of them attempt to escape Raccoon City. After she becomes infected by the T-virus after a battle with the Nemesis, he recovers a vaccine to treat her and successfully escapes the city with Jill.

He also appears as a playable character in ''The Umbrella Chronicles'', where the events of ''Resident Evil 3'' are revisited in the "Raccoon's Destruction" scenario.

In the ''Resident Evil'' movie franchise, Carlos' surname is spelled "Olivera". His character plays a similar role to his video game counterpart as a disgruntled Umbrella mercenary. In ''Resident Evil: Apocalypse'', he is briefly infected with the T-virus, but Alice finds a sample of the antivirus in time to cure him. In the third film, he and Alice parted company five years ago when Alice sought to protect her allies from the Umbrella satellites tracking her, but they meet again when he is travelling with a convoy led by Claire Redfield. When Carlos is bitten during an attempt to capture Alice, he volunteers to mount a suicide run on the umbrella complex tracking Alice after it takes a series of prisoners from the convoy, reasoning that there is no time to get a sample of the antivirus before the infection becomes permanent, taking a fuel tanker into the mass of zombies surrounding the base and then setting off a series of bombs, taking out a sizeable number of zombies and breaching the complex defenses.

He also has an unspoken rivalry with HUNK. In ''Resident Evil 3: Nemesis'', Nikolai is one of the few surviving operatives from the Delta platoon, along with Carlos and Mikhail. He disappears after an event in the first half of the game and is presumed dead until another encounter with him. It is revealed that Nikolai is in fact one of the Supervisors UBCS operatives, assigned to watch and gather combat data as their comrades fight against Umbrella's bio-weapons. Nicholai's fate depends on decisions made by the player, resulting in either his escape or death, either at the hand of Jill or the Nemesis. In the ''Resident Evil 3'' remake, Nicholai is changed to a mole implanted within the UBCS for an unnamed organization. Hired to mitigate the company's efforts to contain the T-virus outbreak, he murders research staff and tries to gain and destroy a virus vaccine. In the final confrontation with Jill and Carlos, he is injured and left behind in Raccoon City. The English localization of '' Resident Evil Survivor'' features a document supposedly authored by Nicholai after the events of ''Nemesis''. The file is different in the original Japanese version and the Chinese localization of the PC port.

The main antagonist of '' Resident Evil: Revelations 2'', an Umbrella researcher who quotes Franz Kafka and developed the T-Phobos virus, which causes those infected to mutate when overcome with fear. Alex is the only other surviving participant of the Wesker project besides her “brother” Albert Wesker despite lacking Albert's heightened abilities. Alex uses her position in Umbrella to establish a facility on the impoverished Sejm Island, kickstarting an economic recovery while exploiting the residents to be her test subjects for T-Phobos Project that Spencer assigned her as a means for him to cheat death. But Alex is spurred by her failing health to instead develop a method to transplant a digital copy of her mind into a host body able to resist fear. Hastening her work after learning of Spencer and Albert's deaths, Alex exploits Neil Fisher with the Uroboros virus she was refining to provide her with candidates from TerraSave, with only Claire Redfield and Moira Burton the sole survivors of her experiments.

Alex also captures Natalia Korda as her ideal host, disposing of Fisher before proceeding with her experiment before committing suicide with the expectation to awaken as Natalia within six months. But she is instead mutated by the T-Phobos at the last second from fearing her own demise, suffering an existential crisis with the maddened resolve to kill Natalia before her copy could manifest by releasing the Uroboros virus on the island as Barry arrived. After infecting herself with the Uroboros, Alex is killed during the BSAA's assault on the island. Regardless of Alex's death, her copy starts manifesting as depicted in the bonus episode "Little Miss" and the game's epilogue.

Years before the events of the first ''Resident Evil'', he was one of the top virologist researchers of the Umbrella Corporation and a head of its personnel training facility, personally appointed by Oswell E. Spencer to work with the Progenitor virus. In this capacity, Marcus played an integral role in developing the T-virus (Tyrant virus), and the Tyrant and Nemesis programs, also conducting extensive research on leeches that led to the development of the G-virus, up until his death in 1988. Spencer betrayed him by sending Marcus' direct subordinates, Albert Wesker and William Birkin, to murder him and steal his research. They dumped his body away along with the Queen Leech that Marcus created, the creature consuming his body and ended up absorbing his genetic memory as consequence. This resulted in the Queen Leech believing itself to be Marcus reborn.James Marcus: "However, something wondrous happened, it took the T-Virus inside of my queen years to procreate my new life."

After completing his G-virus project (Golgotha virus), he is mortally wounded by agents of the Umbrella Special Forces and his work is stolen. Left for dead, he injects himself with the G-virus, thus turning himself into a monster known as "G". He then kills his attackers, causing a T-virus vial to be leaked into the city's drainage system, resulting in the zombie outbreak in Raccoon City.

Piers Nivans is a member of the North American Branch of the BSAA in ''Resident Evil 6''. He is a talented marksman, who served under Chris Redfield during the Edonian Civil War in 2012. On one of their missions, Carla Radames infects their comrades with the C-virus and turns them into mutants. Chris is knocked unconscious in the ensuing battle but is rescued by Piers. Chris becomes disillusioned and disappears after recovering. Piers tracks down Chris and successfully convinces him to rejoin the BSAA to avenge his dead comrades. They are deployed to Lanshiang, China and tasked to stop a bio-terrorism attack. The duo are eventually led to an underwater laboratory that is being used to create powerful bio-organic weapons. Piers is severely injured during their final battle with the B.O.W., Haos, and injects himself with the C-virus to continue fighting. After he and Chris manage to defeat the Haos, they then attempt to escape the laboratory during its self-destruction sequence, but after realizing that he is beginning to succumb to the C-virus, Piers seals Chris inside an escape pod in order to ensure his survival, while he stays behind during the laboratory's destruction to prevent himself from mutating any further, sacrificing himself in the process. Right before his death, Piers manages to save Chris from the still-alive Haos by killing it as it attempts to destroy the escape pod Chris is in. Chris honors Piers's memory by remaining with the BSAA (when before, Chris thought of retiring and leaving Piers in charge). Piers is mentioned by name during the epilogue in '' Resident Evil: Revelations 2'', as he is in China with Chris.

STARS

S.T.A.R.S. (Special Tactics And Rescue Service, also known as the Special Tactics And Rescue Squad in early localizations) is a special operations force in the Raccoon Police Department, introduced in the original ''Resident Evil'' and disbanded before the events of the sequel. Its key members included Albert Wesker, Barry Burton, Brad Vickers, Chris Redfield, Enrico Marini, Forest Speyer, Jill Valentine, Joseph Frost, Kenneth J.

: Played by: Gregory Smith (''RE'' live-action cutscenes), Kevin Durand (''Retribution'')

is a middle-aged (38-year-old in the original '' Resident Evil'') SWAT-veteran and STARS Alpha Team's weapons specialist. In the original ''Resident Evil'', Barry plays a supporting role in Jill's story while only appearing briefly in the opening scene of Chris' scenario. During the course of the game, it is revealed that he was blackmailed into betraying his teammates by Albert Wesker, who threatened to harm his family if he refused. He returns in '' Resident Evil 3: Nemesis'', where he helps Jill and Carlos escape from Raccoon City before its destruction. However, Barry doesn't appear in the 2020 remake of the same game, Jill and Carlos instead leaving as a pair. Barry also appears in the non-canonical game '' Resident Evil Gaiden'' as one of its two player characters, and as a DLC character in the '' Resident Evil 5'' Mercenaries Reunion mode.

After non-canon appearances in games for several years, Barry was a playable character in '' Resident Evil: Revelations 2''. Barry arrived on Sushestvovanie Island to search for his daughter, Moira, and the returning Claire Redfield, who got captured by men sent by Alex Wesker, and used a radio tower to send out a distress call. Barry also meets a little girl named Natalia Korda, who can sense the presence of hidden items, and monsters. Natalia can be controlled by the player as well as Barry, but can only use bricks to attack monsters. During the events of ''Resident Evil: Revelations 2'', it is revealed Barry was estranged from Moira. Eventually, Barry winds up having to battle Alex Wesker, believing she killed Moira, and she targets Natalia for nefarious reasons. In the end, Barry survives the ordeal, killing Alex with Claire's help, and reconciles with Moira, who showed up belatedly to save her father and friends. Barry then adopts Natalia, with everybody unaware that Alex is now somehow part of her, following her death.

PlayStation Universe described Barry as "something of a legend among ''RE'' aficionados, thanks in no small part to his utterly laughable dialogue segments in the original ''Resident Evil''," adding that "he also remains one of the most genuinely likeable characters in the franchise, especially after the chaps at Capcom polished up his hammy ways for the GameCube remake." In 2010, Joystick Division ranked him fifth, on a list of top supporting characters in video game history.

Raymond Vester was one of the top agents working in the FBC (Federal Bioterrorism Commission). At the time of the 2004 Terragrigia Panic, Raymond was an inexperienced cadet in the FBC. Injured by Veltro's Farfarello, he was rescued by the more experienced agents Parker Luciani and Jessica Sherawat. Retreating back to the conference room where FBC Commissioner Morgan Lansdale was residing, Raymond stumbled upon a telephone conversation Lansdale was having with the Veltro leader, Jack Norman. Raymond became increasingly suspicious of his commanding officer, and knew that he was somehow involved with the bio-terrorist attack. However, he was unable to act on these suspicions, as the city was evacuated and destroyed soon after. At some point after this attack, Raymond became an informant for BSAA leader Clive R. O'Brian, operating as his mole within the FBC. O'Brian and Vester devised a plan to oust Lansdale as the architect of the Terragrigia attack through engineering the "return" of Veltro. Vester would pose as Jack Norman, and O'Brian used a mountain airbase to create the illusion that the terrorist group had resurfaced. In doing so, the two hoped to collect enough evidence to expose Lansdale. During the Queen Zenobia incident, O'Brian let slip that agents Jessica Sherawat and Chris Redfield were captured by Veltro aboard the Zenobia. Intercepting this information, Lansdale sent Vester and his partner Rachael to the ship to determine if the BSAA agents supposedly on board the vessel would pose any threat to him. Vester and O'Brian agreed to push forward the schedule of their plan. After boarding the ship, Vester, with and without his Veltro disguise, encountered Luciani and Valentine on the ship's bridge, making his presence known. Soon after, Agents Sherawat and Redfield boarded the vessel. Just as Raymond was about to reveal Lansdale's secrets to the group, Lansdale's mole, Jessica Sherawat, shot Raymond in the chest, causing him to fall from the balcony. Though Raymond was wearing a bulletproof vest and was unharmed by Jessica's shot, he faked his death while in her presence and whispered critical information about the conspiracy and her true identity. He later resurfaced and helped a gravely injured Luciani escape the sinking ship. Unbeknown to Parker, both Raymond and Jessica were agents of the pharmaceutical division of TRICELL, which had promoted the development of T-Abyss. The two met in a cafe in an unnamed European country, where Vester provided Sherawat with a sample of the T-Abyss.

When a large amount of a recently developed hybrid viral agent known as the "T+G virus" was stolen from the Umbrella Pharmaceuticals Development Center in Paris by a former Umbrella researcher, Bruce McGivern was sent in by the U.S. government to retrieve the virus and neutralize the threat in the Atlantic Ocean on board an Umbrella-owned luxury ocean liner, the ''Spencer Rain'', whose entire personnel on board have been infected with the T-virus stolen by the same former researcher, Morpheus D. Duvall, in September 2002. A member of the USSTRATCOM, McGivern is cocky and brash, and has a tendency to adopt a "shoot first, ask questions later" policy, with little regard for the consequences following his actions. This has often left him in many hostile situations, although in the end, he always somehow comes out on top. Confronted at the very beginning of the game by Duvall, he is saved by Chinese secret agent Fong Ling who throws a grenade at Morpheus (regardless of Bruce's life), seriously wounding the terrorist. He later works with her in order to stop Duvall's plan of unleashing the virus, bringing the fight to an underwater Umbrella secret laboratory which they ultimately destroy as Bruce kills a greatly mutated Duvall. At first at odds with Fong Ling, she and Bruce become closer as the story progresses, particularly after he saves her from an attempt on her life by her own government through the use of satellites armed with lasers. At the end of the game, it is implied that Bruce and Fong will start a relationship.
