Alexander Ashford (file)


 * The 6th head of the Ashford family.
 * His father Edward cofounded
 * Umbrella and raised the Ashford name
 * to its summit of fame.


 * His son Alexander, in his mediocrity,
 * was unable to take the reins of power
 * in any meaningful way, and in only one
 * generation, ruined the family name.
 * He was such a disgrace that even his
 * own children saw him with contempt.


 * Alexander, who admitted to not having
 * the aptitude for viral research, nor
 * the qualifications to build upon
 * the achievements of his father,
 * pushed forward with a plan to use
 * what genetic engineering he did
 * learn to restore the family name.


 * The construction of the Antarctic Base
 * was part of that plan.
 * Sometime around 1983, Alexander
 * disappeared suddenly and
 * mysteriously.


 * But the hope of Umbrella had already
 * been placed on Alexia,
 * a brainy young girl who was beginning
 * to demonstrate unusual talents,
 * and whom Umbrella had named its
 * chief researcher just a few years earlier.
