Alex Wesker

Alex Wesker is the twelfth of thirteen candidates for Project W, an early Umbrella Pharmaceutical, Inc. programme to create a "superior race of humans", to quote CEO Ozwell E. Spencer.

History
You'll be pleased to hear that all experiments are running smoothly.

Alex was made by lord Ozwell E. Spencer to become one of a superior breed of humans. The project involved the abduction of a number of children thought to be of "superior" DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid). The children would then be given the surname Wesker in honor of the project's head researcher. Alex made a report on Project W on 28 August 1998, which states that before Albert Wesker faked his death, the project was at a 94% rate of success, but after the news of his death, the project went down to just 18%.

In Spencer's view, Alex was also one of his "loyal" remaining children that he had at his side. The brightest of them all, in Spencer's view and words,"so adept at absorbing the talents of others simply by observing them." Alex was conducting experiments at the South Seas at an island for Spencer. Alex researched and studied a virus for Spencer in order to find the secret to immortality for him. Out of all odds Alex accomplished this feat, but betrayed Spencer by disappearing and taking the results.
