Frederic Downing

Frederic Downing was formerly a researcher for Umbrella Chemical Inc. until 1998. He was in Raccoon City when the outbreak occurred. Shortly before Raccoon City's destruction, Frederick stole t and G-Virus samples from the branch and fled.

Knowing that a t-based weapon would be incomplete without a cure, he joined WilPharma to create a vaccine.

He had released the t-Virus at one of the planes heading for Harvardville Airport and blew the trucks full of vaccine supplying the survivors and Marines to disguise the incident as a terrorist act while blaming Senator Ron Davis for involvement. He was found to be working for Umbrella, stealing the "t" and G-Virus samples shortly before the Racoon City incident, setting the time bomb that destroyed a WilPharma building, and trying to smuggle G-Virus data from the security cameras catching Curtis Miller, the t-Virus and its vaccine, and the G-Virus for profit.
