Introduction
Welcome to The Umbrella Chronicles
The outbreak occurred in the summer of 1998. It started in the American Midwestern town of Raccoon City and brought hell
to earth. The T-virus was developed as a biological weapon. Proliferating amongst the unsuspecting public, it metamorphosed
them into living dead—Zombies. Umbrella’s mission statement had always been about preserving the health of the people,
but beneath this bright statement lurked the shadow of Ozwell E. Spencer’s ambition. The truth behind the rise and fall of
Umbrella is something to which only a select few are privy. The beginning of the end started on the outskirts of Raccoon City
in the Arklay Mountains—
Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles allows the player to experience the events that occurred in Resident Evil 0, Resident
Evil, Resident Evil 2, and Resident Evil 3: Nemesis in a new way. The first-person point of view allows you to step into the
shoes of several well-known characters and experience the familiar events from their unique perspectives. You’ll gain a
deeper understanding of the many forces that shaped and guided Umbrella’s growth, and the one force that brought it to
its knees. Questions will be answered, motives revealed, and true faces uncovered. So forget what you think you know, and
what you wish were true, and enjoy a new spin on the original and ground-breaking chapters in the Resident Evil saga.

The Game Screen
The display in the upper-left corner of the game screen
shows the name of the selected character, the current
weapon, the amount of ammo remaining, the number of
grenades remaining, and the character’s health gauge.

The health gauge begins green but changes to yellow

than just a visual aid to help

the display and shake the

necessary.

When your clip is nearly empty, the targeting reticle
begins to blink, signaling the need to reload.

In addition to the blinking that represents low ammo,

• Weak Spot: The crosshairs disappear and the red
center dot begins blinking when the reticle is
positioned over an enemy’s weak spot. If your aim is
steady and your timing true, you’ll score a critical hit
on the enemy.

the conflict.

Train Derailment
The first scenario chronicles the original outbreak of the T-virus in the Arklay Mountains (as portrayed in Resident Evil 0).
Rebecca Chambers, a S.T.A.R.S. Bravo Team member, forms an unlikely alliance with a convicted felon who was en route
to his own execution before his convoy ran into some unexpected trouble. Like many of the characters that make up this
drama, Billy Coen is not who he appears.

Rebecca Chambers
14
A member of the S.T.A.R.S. Bravo Team, Rebecca is an
expert in the manufacture and preparation of pharma-
ceuticals and serves as the team’s medic. She is highly
talented and graduated college at the young age of 18.
Although she looks delicate, she is a woman of action
and calm in the face of danger. She lacks experience
in actual combat, so she can appear childish at
times and can sometimes hesitate when finding
herself overwhelmed by an unknown situation.

Billy Coen
Originally a second lieutenant in the U.S.M.C.,
Billy Coen was sentenced to death for first-
degree murder for his role in the deaths of 23
people. Billy is perceptive and can expertly
handle any weapon. His body, hardened by
Marine training, is a match for any monster in 15
battle. He is a cynical man of few words, but he
possesses a keen sense of justice and a deep
passion for his duty.

The Mansion Incident
The second scenario chronicles the events portrayed in the original Resident Evil. The S.T.A.R.S. Alpha Team is sent into
the Arklay Mountains to locate and rescue members of the missing Bravo Team. Shortly after landing they are attacked by
mutated dogs and forced to take refuge in a nearby mansion.

Jill Valentine
Alpha Team’s Jill Valentine is very dexterous and is
an expert at picking locks, earning her the somewhat
awkward title of “Master of Unlocking.” She is not only
highly skilled in bomb disposal, but is excellent at
breaking down any situation and determining the best
course of action. Her years of U.S. Army Delta Force
training have helped make her a crack shot.
After the destruction of Raccoon City, both she and
16 Chris have joined a private biohazard containment
unit with the goal of taking Umbrella down once and
for all. Serious, with a strong sense of justice, she’s very
direct in her actions. She typically shows only her tough
side to others, but there are times when she lets her
guard down and shows a softer side.

Raccoon’s Destruction
The outbreak that began in the Arklay Mountains rapidly spreads to nearby Raccoon City. The inhabitants are quick to fall
victim to the highly infectious virus and soon begin feeding on the uninfected. As the survivors fight to escape, a plan is set
in motion to contain the virus once and for all. Once again, Jill Valentine is swept up in the chain of events, but this time,
help arrives from the very organization that caused the outbreak.

Carlos Oliveira
A young mercenary with Native American blood
in his veins, Carlos Oliveira was active in antigov-
18 ernment guerilla operations in South America. After
government forces wiped out his organization, he
was scouted by Umbrella Corporation to join their
U.B.C.S. special ops unit. He is an expert in heavy
weaponry and vehicle operation, making him a
valuable asset. He is warm-hearted and is known to
joke around. Perhaps as a result of being raised
amidst violence, he is brave and always willing
to throw himself in the middle of danger.

shades on, Albert Wesker possesses 19
knowledge about biological engineering and
used to be an agent for Umbrella. He was
planted in S.T.A.R.S. to spy on the agents and
was even made their commanding officer.
Wesker took particular note of Chris and
his combat prowess while in charge of the
team. He is cold-blooded and has no qualms
about betraying the people who place their faith
in him. He betrayed and killed Marcus, lured the
S.T.A.R.S. teams into the mansion and nearly wiped
them out, and even pretended to be dead to join
Umbrella’s rival company.
Wesker was the one who sent Ada Wong to
retrieve the G-virus and was involved in the incidents
at Rockfort Island. He appears intent on gathering
as much data as possible on viral weaponry. Since
injecting himself with a virus during the events at the
mansion, his power has grown far beyond that of a
normal human being.

Shotguns
Shotguns are remarkable close-range weapons. Not only are they capable of damaging multiple enemies with each shot,
but enemies that are hit are usually forced backward by the concussive force of the blast. Further, a point-blank and
accurate hit will drop most enemies with a single shell.
Shotguns have two big weaknesses, though. The first is their limited range. The buckshot expelled from the muzzle
spreads quickly and therefore does considerably less damage the farther it travels. The second weakness is the relatively
slow reload time when compared to other weapons. Get caught reloading in the middle of a battle and you’re sure to take
damage.

Submachine Guns
Submachine guns are the antithesis of shotguns. They lack the punch and crowd-control
capabilities of the shotgun and eat through ammo like a starving Zombie at a brain buffet.
However, they are as accurate up close as they are at a distance, making them the perfect
weapon for picking enemies off at range. Further, they have the fastest reload speed in the
game, allowing for near nonstop fire.
Because of their high ammo consumption, effective use of a submachine gun is paramount The single-fire capability

Grenade Launchers
Grenade launchers are the ultimate crowd-control weapon. They provide much more power and a bigger blast radius than
the shotgun, but they do have drawbacks.
First, they aren’t very versatile as a secondary weapon. Sure, they can blast a group of enemies to pulp, but they are
overkill against two or three—especially given the scarcity of ammo. Further, they lob grenades, rather than fire them with
velocity. So if accuracy is what you’re after, a rocket launcher or a Magnum is a better choice. Finally, although their capacity
is comparable to that of the other big guns, their reload speed is slow.
In the end, it’s best to choose a more versatile secondary weapon and leave the grenade launcher behind. Besides, your
arm makes a great hand-grenade launcher!

Magnums
Magnums are incredibly devastating handguns, the most powerful of which will cut down most enemies with a single round.
The velocity of the round is so great that it can travel through multiple enemies, doing damage to each. Reload speed is also
fast, second only to the submachine gun. More importantly, they make great boss killers as well, but make every shot count
because ammo is relatively scarce.
Overall, the Magnum is a very good choice for a secondary weapon, once it becomes available. Until then, take an upgraded
shotgun or submachine gun with you.

Rocket Launchers
Rocket launchers are highly destructive weapons that do significant direct and splash damage. The velocity of the shell
is greater than that of any grenade launcher but slower than Magnum rounds. Therefore, it is difficult to score direct hits
against fast-moving and/or distant enemies. Further, ammo capacity is low and ammo very scarce for this class. Overall,
these weapons have limited versatility, so forgo them once the more useful Magnums become available.

Surviving the Game
Introduction
Basic training is over; it’s time to jump into the deep end and see whether you sink or swim. Fortunately, everything you need
to know to stay afloat is included here.
Here’s the breakdown: There are four scenarios—Train Derailment, Mansion Incident, Raccoon’s Destruction, and
Umbrella’s End. Further, each scenario has three chapters (Mansion Incident 1, 2, and 3 for example). Finally, chapters may
have one or more subchapters.

The “Train Derailment” scenario recounts the events

and Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, and “Umbrella’s End” is a
new scenario.

Completing a scenario chapter generally unlocks the next chapter, and may unlock a subchapter. Once a subchapter is
unlocked you can play it at any time. Because of this non-linearity, we have chosen to divide the walkthrough chapter into two
parts. The first part deals with the 12 chapters in the main story arc while the second part deals with the 10 subchapters.

36

See the “Secrets” chapter for a level flow chart


that illustrates how each scenario, chapter, and
subchapter is unlocked.

The Maps
Because of the “on-rail” nature of the game (movement is automatic), the maps were designed to provide information at a
glance. Just about everything you need to know is marked on each map, including item, file, and weapon locations; alternate
paths and secret doors; and boss battles. Further, numbered callouts correspond to a specific section of the walkthrough. Simply
match up the numbers to quickly gain more insight into the particular hazard you are facing. Here is a legend to help explain
the various icons we use on each map.

5 First Encounter: Cerberus


The Cerberus creatures were created by
Umbrella through the fusing of the T-virus to
Doberman DNA. They are the fastest enemy
you’ve faced thus far, and once they get
close enough they’ll leap up and bite you. A
handgun will suffice one-on-one, but if they
attack in packs, a shotgun is man’s best friend.

Boss Battle: Stinger
Stinger is a bio-organic weapon of obvious origin. The exo-skeleton
armor repels most small-arms fire, but it does have its weak spots.
Aim for the head and the tip of the tail to inflict the most amount of
damage.

The shotgun’s power


is ideal against Stinger,
but don’t waste ammo
when the tail is down
and the head is hidden
behind the beast’s huge
claws. Instead, use this
time to pick up the
items scattered around
the room.
Stinger’s attacks are
avoidable, provided
you are quick enough
with the controller! Be
prepared to perform
multiple dodges during
the long battle.

1 First Encounter: Nemesis


Not long after you enter the police
station you encounter Nemesis.
Intelligent, resilient, and inhumanly
strong, Nemesis poses your greatest
threat, and your toughest fight.
Nemesis shrugs off your bullets
with impunity and strides closer
and closer with the confidence of a
conqueror. Save your ammo and
simply perform the action required
to evade his powerful swing. You’ll duck around him and head off down the hallway, leaving the mutant behind. But, like a
B-movie slasher, Nemesis follows at a leisurely pace. When he gets close, take a few head shots and he’ll drop to his knees.

Carlos shoots at the nearby grenade rounds and a wall of fire engulfs the hallway.
Be quick with the controller and only Nemesis will require first aid.

While attempting to take


the exterior stairwell to
the roof, you once again
meet Nemesis. When the
mutant-in-black gets close
to the red oil drum, blow
it up to slow him down.

72

After a couple more uneventful run-ins


with Nemesis, you finally engage him again
here. The good news is that this time he’s
armed with a rocket launcher! It’s only fair.
After all, it is two against one.
The rockets he fires are slow-moving, but their erratic
trajectory makes them difficult to hit. Do what it takes to
detonate them before they reach you, then concentrate fire on
the weapon that Nemesis is carrying. Hit it enough times and it
explodes, ending the confrontation.

Raccoon’s Destruction 3

Boss Battle: Nemesis


The rooftop provides the arena for your final encounter with
Nemesis. Detonating the fuel canisters near him will cause his final
mutation. Nemesis has myriad attacks at his disposal. Some, like
the choke-hold, are eerily reminiscent of Tyrant—Nemesis’s prede-
cessor. The same rules apply: Inflict as much damage as you can,
and as quickly as possible, to escape unscathed.

When Nemesis leaps


to the walls high above
the rooftop, he forces
his long tentacles into

the ground below. They
appear close by and
slash at you, inflicting
decent damage. The
appendages can’t be
destroyed, so don’t
waste time and ammo
trying. Instead, concen-
trate your fire on the
prostrate and vulnerable
Nemesis.

73
Nemesis decides that leaping at you is the best way to
rejoin the fight. When he does, you’ll have to pull off an action
maneuver to avoid major damage.
The MRL rounds found on the roof are just what the surgeon
ordered to perform projectile-surgery on the hulking mutant.
There are not many of them, but they inflict heavy damage, so
use them when you can’t miss. Soon, Nemesis concedes the
battle and throws himself off the roof.

successive (we’re talking three in a row!). It’s imperative that you pull these off correctly, as the damage sustained from a
single hit is severe.
Like Nemesis’s tentacles, Talos’s appendages can travel through concrete and steel. Target the claws before they reach
you to force them back, and mind any falling debris that is loosed in the skirmish.

Initially, its “weak” spots are


the tears in its shoulder and

to bury some lead in those

On the elevator surface, you encounter a Tyrant. Although it’s from a previous viral strain than the one faced later in
the lab, it is still formidable. However, you’ve already encountered one, so here’s the short refresher course: Dodge its
charges by performing controller actions, and aim for the exposed, pulsating heart.
Once the elevator reaches its destination, Tyrant rises again. This time a health bar informs you of the monstrosity’s remaining
vitality. A submachine gun on full auto or the Magnum AT (Wesker’s specialty) will make quick work of the obsolete strain.

Boss Battle: Sergei

The Sergei mutant’s looks and actions are


a bit different from those of the Tyrant
types you’ve faced previously, but when
analyzed, the attacks are very similar.
It comes as no surprise that it lashes
at you with its barbed tentacle. Quickly
perform an action to dodge it.
The spider-like legs protruding from its
back are its main means of locomotion.
When it begins scuttling around the room
toward you, ready your sights on it and fire
just as it reaches you. If you succeed, you’ll
deter its attack and force it to the floor.

The creature also


possesses a ranged
attack. It launches a
globule in the air that
explodes into several
shards. Destroy them
before they connect.

Ada receives a transmission from her

with her. However, Ada has a sample of
the G-virus, a strain more powerful than
the T-virus that has caused all of the

surrounding areas. Wesker, who desires
the sample, offers Ada an escape route,

Another Tyrant leaps into the fray with Ada, and although this
model may appear a bit different from those you’ve already faced,
its attacks are similar. Select the most powerful shotgun you have,
target the chest and back, and fire at will. This battle will be over

Ada needs to reach higher ground in order to hitch a ride on the passing chopper. Target the freeway sign, tap 3, and up she goes.
When you’re on top of the trailer, Hunters attempt to jump up and knock you off. Get them before they get you; otherwise,
simply repeat the grappling maneuver and attempt to stave off the attack once more.
When you’ve succeeded in fending off the usurpers, the chopper passes overhead. Target the cargo container it’s carrying
and press 3. Ada will do the rest. It’s not first class, but hey, it beats the alternative!

Ada makes it onto the container in one piece. Inside the chopper, it is revealed that Sergei has procured Umbrella’s
mainframe, which contains all of the company’s research data. With it, Umbrella will certainly survive to haunt another day.

Nightmare 1

While waiting near the mansion for the rest of Bravo Team, Rebecca falls asleep and dreams of a large snake, an omen of
wicked things to come. She is awakened by Richard, and the two set off to find someplace safe to hole up.

You can grab all of the items in both the bar


(downstairs) and the billiard room (upstairs) by
choosing the upstairs path. Simply grab everything
upstairs, and then when the pair backtrack past the
bar, be quick and pick up the items located there.

Like Wesker’s scenario, Rebecca’s mission is chock-full of just about


every mutant and undead abomination in Umbrella’s product line. And
there are lots of them! Never get caught either reloading or with the
default pistol in hand, or the groups of wandering monsters will prevail.

The story of Lisa Trevor, and the whole Trevor family, is a sad one.
Experimentation on Lisa didn’t turn out quite like Umbrella planned
it. An interesting side effect of her mutation is immortality—it’s said
that she cannot be killed. So, Umbrella shackled her and gave her
the run of the mansion.
Your first encounter ends quickly. A few assault shotgun rounds or
a couple of grenades and Lisa falls down, seemingly defeated.

Secret Level

The Secret Level is a challenging and fun shooting-gallery mini-game. There are 10 levels that each consist of the same two rounds.
Round one is the shooting gallery. Ten Zombies poke their heads up from behind the counter, one after another (in later
levels they run and crawl across the screen as well). Shoot as many as you can.
Round two starts when you turn to face the lab doorway. Suddenly a horde of Zombies rushes in. They take one hit to
kill, but the bad news is that so do you! Get hit and you start over.
After the second round on the tenth level, you square off
against the boss Zombie. Use your head to figure out how to put
him down.
One more thing—don’t let the lack of a heads-up display fool
you; you are packing more than the pistol. Scroll through the

Collected here, for your viewing pleasure, are transcriptions of every in-game file. They have been sorted

to the T-virus outbreak in the Arklay Mountains and the surrounding areas. Further, new information has
surfaced regarding the events that occurred in 2003 at an Umbrella base located somewhere in southern

Russia.

This section provides a recap of the events surrounding the infection and the crash of the Ecliptic

Summary
Resident Evil 0 Digest 1
Bizarre murder cases with people
being found dead, their bodies half-
eaten, were being reported in the
areas near Raccoon City.
The city’s elite special forces unit,
S.T.A.R.S. (Special Tactics and Rescue
Service), sent Bravo Team to the scene.
However, due to a mysterious engine
failure, Bravo Team’s helicopter crash-
landed in the forest.
Bravo Team narrowly escaped with their
lives and stumbled onto a heavily damaged
prison convoy and the brutally dismembered
corpses of the Marines in charge. Enrico
Marini, Bravo Team’s commander, ordered that
a search be made for Billy Coen, a former Marine who escaped from the convoy. The newest member of
Bravo Team, Rebecca Chambers, discovered a train stopped in the woods and went inside to investigate.
Apparently the train had met with some kind of accident—she found all of the passengers dead. One of
the supposedly dead passengers came to life and attacked Rebecca.
Facing certain death, Rebecca was rescued by the prisoner, Billy Coen. Rebecca was still suspicious of
Billy but realized that they needed to work together if they wanted to survive the nightmare. Shortly
after, the train suddenly started to move. It accelerated and was rapidly approaching dangerous speeds.
To prevent the imminent derailment, the pair engaged the brake. However, it was too late and the
train rolled on its side. The two barely managed to escape the wreck.
Nearby was Umbrella’s Management Training Facility.

Facility abandoned since James Marcus’s death
in 1988. Umbrella undertook a project to
reclaim the facility and bring it back under
operation. Supplies and human resources
were to be divided into two batches and sent
in, but the lead group was exterminated by
a B.O.W. The special forces unit sent in to
investigate was also caught by surprise and
taken down by the Leeches. The leaders of
the Reclamation Project were Albert Wesker

Keeper’s Diary
May 9, 1998
Played poker tonight with Scott and Alias from Security, and Steve from Research. Steve was the big winner, but I
think he was cheating. That scumbag.
May 10, 1998
One of the higher-ups assigned me to take care of a new creature. It looks like a skinned gorilla to me. I was
instructed to feed it live animals.
When I threw in a pig, the creature seemed to play with it—tearing off the pig’s legs and pulling out the guts
before it actually started eating.
May 11, 1998
At around 5 A.M., Scott woke me up. Scared the shit out of me, too. He was wearing a protective suit. He
handed me another one and told me to put it on. Said there’d been an accident in the basement lab. I just knew
something like this would happen. Those bastards in Research never sleep, not even on holidays, so it was only a
matter of time before one of them slipped up.
May 12, 1998
I’ve been wearing this damn space suit since yesterday. My skin’s getting grimy and feels itchy all over. The
goddamn dogs have been looking at me funny, so I decided not to feed them today. Screw ‘em.
May 13, 1998
Went to the Infirmary because my back is all swollen and feels itchy. They put a big bandage on it and told me I
didn’t need to wear the suit anymore. All I wanna do is sleep.
May 14, 1998
Found a big blister on my foot this morning. I ended up dragging my foot all the way to the dogs’ pen. They were
quiet all day, which is weird. Then I realized some of them had escaped. Maybe this is their way of getting back
at me for not feeding them the last three days. If anybody finds out, I’ll have my head handed to me.
May 16, 1998
A rumor is going around that a researcher who tried to escape the estate last night was shot. My entire body
feels hot and itchy and I’m sweating all the time now. I scratched the swelling on my arm and a piece of rotten
flesh just dropped off. What the hell’s happening to me?
May 19, 1998
Fever gone but itchy. Today hungry and eat doggie food.
May 21, 1998
Itchy itchy Scott came ugly face so killed him. Tasty.

Itchy. Tasty.

S.T.A.R.S.
S.T.A.R.S. Notes
Special Tactics and Rescue Service, or S.T.A.R.S., was established within the Raccoon Police Department
and is divided into an Alpha Team and a Bravo Team. This elite group was formed to respond to
terrorism, organized crime, and emergencies too difficult for the regular police force to handle. Its
members include a hand-picked group of specialists, the best of the best. Their funding was provided by a
grant from private corporations, most notably Umbrella Corporation.

Red Queen Notes
Red Queen is the code name for the AI defense
system developed by Umbrella. The AI is
contained within U.M.F.-013. However, the AI
has unrestricted access to the entire Umbrella
network for administration, monitoring,
and carrying out certain procedures. This
additional functionality is a security fail-safe,
but in most circumstances, Red Queen is in
the background performing only its primary
monitoring function. In emergencies, it will
serve a more active role and protect sensitive
systems and data from intrusion along with
cleaning up hostiles. It is self-aware and
can take these measures based on its own
judgment.

U.M.F.-13
The 13th-generation supercomputer U.M.F.-13
is contained in the underground Raccoon
City research facility shelter. All of the data
gathered from the network of Umbrella’s
branches around the world is stored as a
backup on this mainframe. This wealth of
information is kept in one location to serve
as a safety measure should Umbrella run into
difficulty and need to be reestablished.

Umbrella Russian Branch Notes
This branch of Umbrella is a research lab located in the
it
Caucasus region, in the south of Russia. On the surface,
appears to be a government-operated chemic al process ing
plant, but it has been taken over by Umbrella after
the fall of the Soviet Union and maintained as a front.
Umbrella built facilities beneath the surface to perform
viral and B.O.W. research. It is Umbrella’s newest base
and serves as Sergei Vladimir’s headquarters.

Umbrella Raccoon City Judgment


After the Raccoon City incident, the U.S. government
issued an order for Umbrella to cease and desist all
operations. In response, Ozwell E. Spencer hired the best
lawyers money could buy and prepared false witnesses to
try and create the appearance of a conspiracy with which
to turn the public opinion away from Umbrella and toward
the government. Survivors of the incident presented
their testimonies, but the lack of evidence, most of which
had been wiped out in the eradication operation, and the
withholding of testimony by government employees, who
feared being implicated, made the case drag on without a
conclusion.

Crimson Head Notes
The Crimson Head is a Zombie that has undergone a sudden
mutation, bringing with it a ferociousness surpassing that of a
standard Zombie. The mutation process requires that the Zombie
first be incapacitated. At this time, the creature’s body tissue is
reconstructed at the cellular level, resulting in renewed activity
as well as the tell-tale reddish color that gives the Crimson Head
its name. It possesses long, sharp claws and relentlessly pursues
victims with a speed unseen in other Zombies.

Crow Notes
Wild Crows were infected by the T-virus. Although their
appearance remains mostly unaltered by the infection, they have
grown more violent and are no longer frightened off by loud
sounds. The fact that they are capable of flight makes them an
extremely dangerous carrier for the virus.

Eliminator Notes
The Eliminator is a biological weapon created from a large
monkey by Dr. James Marcus. Because it’s based on a primate,
the creature is highly intelligent and capable of executing

viciously attack with incredible
When the Eliminator detects prey, hunger drives it to jump and
speed.

Grave Digger Notes


An arthropod that has mutated to an enormous size as a side-
effect from the T-virus, the Grave Digger burrows beneath the
ground until it senses prey, at which point it will rush up to
the surface to take it by surprise. The Grave Digger maintains
the appearance of a worm and can grow to 10 meters in
length. Its powerful jaws can chew through even concrete, and
its amazing digestive system allows it to swallow a human
victim whole.

Hunter Notes
The Hunter was a battle B.O.W. born from a fertilized human
egg infused with reptilian DNA with the assistance of the
T-virus. It is extremely deadly in combat and possesses
large, sharp claws. It is intelligent enough to carry out basic
commands and can cut down prey with astonishing agility and
jumping power, making it truly deserving of the name Hunter.

Infected Bat Notes


The Infected Bat is a creature that shows distinct mutations
over other bat subjects. It is a prime example of the T-virus

Lisa Trevor Profile
Lisa Trevor was imprisoned for nearly 30 years in the
mansion and subjected to continual experiments that trans-
figured her into a monster. Numerous viral experiments
made her immune to death itself and soon led Birkin to
the discovery of the G-virus. Lisa has the disturbing habit
of peeling faces from her victims and placing them over
her own. There were repeated attempts to dispose of her,
but they all failed. She was eventually bound and left to
wander the halls of the mansion.

Mimicry Marcus Notes


This creature is actually composed of countless Leeches
that have merged together to imitate the late Dr. James
Marcus. The Leeches secrete an adhesive bodily fluid
over their cuticle in order to mold together. This coating
hardens as they fuse together. When in the presence of
prey or a threat, the Leeches will break their form and
attack. They are a revolting but powerful enemy.

Nemesis T-type (Pursuer) Notes


This B.O.W. is the result of combining a Nemesis parasite
with a host Tyrant body. The introduced Nemesis parasite
controls the host completely. Its improved intelligence
gives it the capacity to follow orders as well as the ability
to operate a variety of weaponry. A protective coat was
wrapped around it to provide protection against bullets and
explosions as well as to act as a fail-safe should it go out of
control. Thanks to the parasite’s secretions, the regenerative
powers of the Nemesis T-Type were incredible. Even if it were
somehow stopped by an attack, it could mutate and evolve
into a new form capable of withstanding further attacks. The
new forms and their abilities are completely unpredictable.

Plant 42 Notes
Plant 42 was created accidentally during the T-virus outbreak.
Researchers who had discovered the plant studied it with great
interest as its growth overwhelmed that of other plants.
Although it cannot move its trunk, it can lash out with
tentacle-like appendages to ensnare prey and drain
them of their blood for nutrients. It has also generated
many other self-defense mechanisms to protect itself
from would-be attackers.
