“ | Every day, humans come one step closer to self destruction! I'm not destroying the world, I'm saving it! | ” |
Power-hungry, knowledgeable and cunning, Albert Weskerwas a man who sought power and domination over the entire human race, all for his own gain. To this end, he was affiliated with the Umbrella Corporation, as one of its most promising researchers, and at the same time participated in illicit activities by going undercover as an officer in the RPD and the leader of S.T.A.R.S. in Raccoon City. Through the course of much betrayal of his allies to further his own plans, Wesker faked his death, gained superhuman powers from anexperimental virus, and worked alongside both the mysterious "Organization" and Tricell, Inc. He would eventually enact a plot, originally created by Ozwell E. Spencer, to transform the human race into powerful superhumans like himself, and be a god to rule over them and a new age.
Transformation and death
Wesker used Uroboros in a last ditch effort to kill his nemesis. The tendrils wrapped around several shards of metal and circuitry before spreading to most of Wesker's upper body, giving him a large, deadly, tentacle like appedange. Endowed by the virus, Wesker attacked Chris and Sheva, all the while exaggerating about natural selection, superior DNA, war and pestilence, and his loathing of the current state of the human race. All of this demonstrated that Wesker's calm, collected, and refined exterior had been completely dissolved, along with the last of his sanity. He made repeated attempts to kill both Chris and Sheva, swinging his large arm in a deadly circular manner and lobbing projectiles forged from his tentacles at both of them while they were separated by the breaking ground of the volcano. After taking much fire from Chris, Wesker's other arm succumbed to the growing infection rate of Uroboros and was also absorbed by the virus. Despite this, he somehow managed to keep the rest of his body intact. Eventually, the fight came to the last surviving platform at the center of the lava river. With a feral shout of Chris' name, Wesker jumped to the platform and prepared for the final portion of the conflict. Wesker was then engaged in battle as both Sheva and Chris impaled him on both parts of his weak points.
However, despite his incredible powers, Wesker was held off by Chris and Sheva, until the ground gave way from under him, causing Wesker to fall into the lava. While Wesker screamed in pain, a helicopter piloted by Jill and Josh Stone came in to rescue Chris and Sheva. They barely managed to climb the ladder Jill threw to them as the ground under them also gave up and sank into the lava. When they were safely aboard, they looked down upon the sinking Wesker, who became enraged and shouted Chris' name for one last time. Refusing to acknowledge his own mortality, and obsessed with killing Chris Redfield, he used his tentacle-consumed left arm to grab hold of the helicopter and viciously tugged at it in hopes of taking them with him. However, Chris and Sheva fired a pair of RPG-7 rockets at him as he screamed in anger and pain. The rockets went straight through his head, the resulting explosion sending out a wave of lava that rocked the helicopter. Albert Wesker, the diabolical villain hell-bent on world domination, was finally gone forever, and Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine were free of his influence once and for all.
Resident Evil 5
Wesker is a playable character in Resident Evil 5, and has a whole new barrage of martial arts to employ on his unlucky adversaries. He comes in his "Midnight" and "S.T.A.R.S." outfits, and he is outfitted with an H&K P8, S&W M500, Grenades, Proximity Bomb, and ammunition in his first outfit, and his Samurai Edge, Lightning Hawk, and Hydra, as well as ammo in his second. These are his attacks in Resident Evil 5.
Position | Attack | Strength |
---|---|---|
Head | Cobra Strike | 1200 HP |
Arm (Front) | Panther Fang | 300 HP |
Arm (Back) | Jaguar Kick | 300 HP |
Leg (Front) | Tiger Uppercut | 400 HP |
Leg (Back) | Mustang Kick | 500 HP |
Grounded | Windfall | 600 HP (Head Critical) |
Combo Finisher (front) | Ghost Butterfly | 4000 HP |
Combo Finisher (back) | Rhino Charge | 4000 HP |
Grapple Breaker | Ram Horn | 500 HP |
Dashing | Knee Cannon | 1000 HP |
Dashing | Collide | 200 HP |
His Windfall is similar to Chikyo Chagi, his leg drop/axe kick move from Resident Evil 4, and his Cobra Strike is akin to the lethal killing Thrust Punch from Resident Evil 4. Wesker has an easier time instant killing enemies in Mercenaries due to his Cobra Strike, which only needs a headshot or Flash Grenade to enable. His Windfall also deals a high damage. His magnum will kill the Big Man Majini and Reaper in one shot, the latter if on the weak spot, and in some cases it will also down weaker bosses like Giant Majini in one hit. However, players should be wary of damage, as he does not start the mission with a healing item. He also has a dash move accessible through clicking the movement stick as well as the ability to use Knee Cannon chained off of dash. However, health is depleted during the use of the dash function. Getting an A rank on "The Mines" unlocks "Midnight", While getting an A rank on "Prison" unlocks "S.T.A.R.S."
