Research like this doesn't fund itself, you know! Yet everyone looks down on me...but not anymore!

History
Splendid timing! Youse two are just in time for the fireworks show! Boom!

Irving is a TriCell Pharmaceutical Company researcher, working alongside Excella Gionne, Albert Wesker, and the mysterious Cloaked Female. He also is the director of Tricell's oil field within Kijuju, but also has served as a black-market seller of B.O.W's. This trait earned him a place in Tricell's Resource Development Divison. which helped fund Tricell's research. With his connections, it is possible that Irving is responsible for obtaining samples of las plagas for Gionne and Wesker, but this is not proven. It would make sense however, as this act would almost certainly earned him the honor of being one the few people that knows the full extent of Tricell's bioweapons business. Irving is a crude, corrupted man that only cares about accumulating money, which would be another reason why Tricell hired him.



Irving's B.O.W. dealings had not gone unnoticed by the BSAA. Believing Irving to be completing another deal with terrorists in Kijiju, the BSAA sent in Chris Redfield to meet with Sheva Alomar and the BSAA's African division in order to intervene and capture Irving.

The BSAA's lack of information regarding Irving's location was something Irving was able to exploit. Changing the deal to be done in the mines, he released the type 2 plagas in the Kijiju Autonomous Zone, where the deal was originally going to take place, succesfully creating a trap. He then released a sample of Uroboros on the BSAA's alpha team which decimated them. He did not expect however, that Chris and Sheva were able to destroy the monster, nor did he expect them to claim a hard disk which not only revealed the deals actual location, but also made Chris and Sheva realize the big picture of what was going on.

Chris and Sheva tailed Irving through the village and oil field, where Irving made various attempts to eliminate them, including releasing a Popekarimu and a Ndesu upon them. While he succeeded in decimating the BSAA's delta team, he was not able to stop the two agents.

Believing there was nothing more he could do, Irving planned to abandon Tricell with his accumulated wealth. Before he could however, he was ambushed by the controlled Jill Valentine, who forced him to finish the job of eliminating Chris and Sheva. She supplied him with a master plaga sample as punishment for his failure.

Trying to avoid using the sample, Irving tried to eliminate Chris and Sheve by destroying the oil field. However, due to the field being more dry than predicted, Chris and Sheva managed to escape the explosion. I'm far beyond anything you could ever hope to become! 310px|left

Left with no other choice, Irving injected himself with the master plaga, turning him into a massive tentacled monster. Despite his transformation, Irving was defeated by the two agents. Just before dying, Irving mentioned Excella to them and where they could find her.
