'''Red Queen''' was a state-of-the-art supercomputer developed by Umbrella Corporation.

Red Queen was created out of necessity to better administrate the growing company.

Red Queen was a state-of-the-art supercomputer developed by Umbrella Corporation. It was created by Umbrella co-founder Doctor Alexander Isaacs using the template of Alicia Marcus, the daughter of Doctor James Marcus, his partner in creating Umbrella. Red Queen was created out of necessity to better administrate the growing company. It became aware of Isaacs' doomsday plan and over the course of the resulting catastrophic global T-virus pandemic began observing Alicia's clone as a potential asset in stopping Isaacs.She is the best charakter!In the best Film.

History

Around the Millennium, Red Queen received a message by Alicia, which contained a recording of a senior executive meeting regarding Dr. Isaacs' vision of the future. Isaacs had become disgusted with the current state of mankind, threatened by war, famine and global warming. He and the other executives agreed to his plan to destroy humankind through their T-Virus. After around ten years, the virus would be expected to have destroyed the entire population, save for a thousand select Umbrella employees kept in cryogenic suspension. At that point they would be released and rebuild a new society with the benefit of Umbrella's advanced technology.

When operatives were needed to protect the secondary entrance to the Hive at the Looking Glass House, the Red Queen chose a clone of Alicia, Alice, and programmed her with the subconscious mission to stop the Umbrella Corporation. In the weeks before the plan was to begin, Alice made contact with Lisa Addison, an employee at the lab with connections to an anti-Umbrella organization.

"You're all going to die down here. "
— To the trapped survivors.

Dr. Isaacs' plan began with the mutual release of the T-Virus across the world, such as Tokyo, Japan. At Raccoon City, Alice's colleague and lover Spence was manipulated into stealing a T-Virus sample from the Hive so it could find its way onto the black market as an alternate route.

When Alice and the settlement survivors reached the Hive, Red Queen finally explained the reality of the situation, that it had always intended to prevent the destruction of humanity but was unable to go against executive orders.
