Birkin joined the Umbrella Corporation in 1977 at the young age of 15. He was placed at the Umbrella Management Training Facility under James Marcus. There, he became a close acquaintance and rival of fellow researcher Albert Wesker, as they were both considered to be Marcus' top apprentices. They were involved in the development of the T-Virus project, until the facility was closed down in 1978.

Dr. Annette Birkin

She is the mother of Sherry Birkin, and the wife of William Birkin. She has a very serious demeanor and is usually very abrupt with people. She works at the Umbrella Research Laboratory located in Raccoon City, along with her husband William. Because her job is so demanding, she has little to no time to spend with her daughter, and although she still loves her, she doesn't show it too often. Annette is first encountered by the player as either Claire Redfield or Ada Wong (Leon gets shot and knocked out when they first meet). She tells the player from her own point of view about how Umbrella tried to steal her husband's research away from him, and how he ended up becoming a monster in order to prolong his life and exact revenge on Umbrella. Although she's not exactly a friend, Annette reveals a lot of information to the player. This doesn't stop her from trying to shoot and kill both Ada and Leon, though. She does seem to have more of a tolerance for Claire, due to the fact that in her scenario she's given the task of protecting Sherry, and tries to help Annette and her daughter reunite. In both Leon and Claire's scenarios, Annette ends up dying, but in different ways.

Annette met William at the Arklay Research Facility. During the Raccoon City outbreak, Annette proved to be fanatically loyal to her husband, and was determined to preserve his legacy, the G-Virus, from those who would steal it, even Umbrella. Unfortunately, this loyalty proved to be her undoing

Sherry was born around 1985 or 1986 to William and Annette Birkin, scientists developing biological weapons at the Umbrella Corporation's Arklay Laboratory. Due to their busy work schedule, Sherry's parents were not around as she grew up.

In 1995, the Birkins were transferred to a newly-constructed underground laboratory in Raccoon City to work on a new biological weapon called the G-Virus. However, in 1998, William refused to hand the finished virus to Umbrella. Umbrella Special Forces Unit was sent in to retrieve the G-Virus and assassinate William. However, during the struggle, William injected himself with the G-Virus and a vial containing the T-Virus broke and was spread over the city.

James Marcus

Age 70 (at the time of death in 1988)

Blood Type A

Gender Male

Height 180cm

Weight 68.5kg

Born in 1918, he was an academic friend of Spencer during their college years and the two graduated from the same university in 1939. Years later in 1967, the two and their friend, Edward Ashford, discovered a new virus known as the Progenitor (also known as the Mother Virus), which served as the foundation of Umbrella during the following year. On August 1968, Marcus was appointed as the general manager of the management training facility and was put in charge of the company's creative output, leaving the financial duties to Spencer himself. However, Marcus often got into arguments with Spencer (who considered Marcus' experiments with Progenitor to be a waste of the company's funding) and attempted to increase his own influence within the company in order to take Spencer's power away.

Around the late 1970s, he created the Tyrant Virus by combining leech DNA with Progenitor. During this time, he was a mentor to both, Albert Wesker and William Birkin, who were trainees in the Facility. He used animals test subjects for his research, resulting in the creations of three of the company's original B.O.Ws (Bio-Organic Weapons). He had planned on introducing the T-Virus to the board of directors, but his research ended up being stolen by Spencer's men and the T-Virus project was transferred to the Arklay Research Facility, after the training facility was closed down.

During the 1980s, Marcus continued his research within the facility's hidden underground lab, using animals as test subjects for the T-Virus, resulting in the creation of the Eliminators, Plague Crawlers and Lurkers. He decided that mammals were the best hosts for the T-Virus and began using human test subjects. No less than twenty trainees were victims of Marcus' experiments. Marcus' experiment remained under wraps until 1988. After the T-Virus Project in the Arklay Research Facility reached its Third Phase (the creation of the Tyrant), Spencer ordered Marcus' most trusted apprentices, Wesker and Birkin, to assassinate him.

Ozwell E. Spencer

Spencer was one of the three men who discovered the Progenitor Virus (a new type of RNA virus) along with Edward Ashford and James Marcus on November 1967. The three established the Umbrella Corporation, a manufacturer of biological weapons that posed as a pharmaceutical company. During that same year, he established the Arklay Research Facility located in the outskirts Raccoon City and camouflaged the lab as a mansion. He murdered the mansion's architect, George Trevor, and used his wife and daughter (Jessica and Lisa) as test subjects for the Progenitor Virus, in order to eliminate anyone who might had known about the mansion's secrets.

During the following year, he established the Umbrella Management Training Facility (also located at the Arklay Mountains) for further research of the Progenitor Virus and appointed co-founder James Marcus as the first general manager. Marcus helped create the T-Virus by combining the Progenitor Virus with leech DNA. Even though Marcus and Spencer worked in separate facilities, the two had a mutual rivalry and considered each other a threat to their respective positions, with Marcus having his own supporters. In 1988, when Spencer was making his own progress with the T-Virus, he ordered Albert Wesker (one of Marcus' former apprentices) to assassinate Marcus and appointed William Birkin to take over the T-Virus project. As the only living founder of the Umbrella Corporation, he has monopolized the company's entire business for himself.

It is also speculated that it was Spencer who ordered the deployment of Umbrella troops, the T-103 Tyrant and the Nemesis during the events of Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3. He probably also ordered the assasination of William Birkin to secure the G-Virus, as Birkin was planning to sell it to another prospective employer.

George Trevor

Ozwell E. Spencer contracted George Trevor, a well-known architect from New York, in order to construct a mansion in the Arklay Mountains region of Raccoon City. Spencer paid him lavishly for the project, which took five years to complete. In 1967, to commemorate the completion of the mansion, Spencer invited Trevor and his family to stay with him and spend their vacation on the mansion. Trevor decided to send his wife and daughter, Jessica and Lisa, ahead of him.

When Trevor arrived at the mansion on November 13, his wife and daughter were nowhere to be found. Trevor was told that they were out to visit their hospitalized aunt Emma and was unaware they were actually being used as a test subjects for the Progenitor Virus. During Trevor's stay of the mansion, he became suspicious as he discovered several new traps and rooms that were not part of his original blueprints and also began to worry about his family's absence.

On November 21, three men in white coats had Trevor confined in a small room and was informed of his wife's and daughter's probable deaths. Trevor decided to escape from the mansion by using one of the secret tunnels he built. However, Spencer knew about the tunnels and calculated which one Trevor would take. On November 30, Trevor found himself in a dead end, with no way to go back. The following day, December 1 (though Trevor apparently could not think straight and wrote it as "November 31"), he found a tombstone with his name on it, and realized Spencer had planned it all along. It is assumed Trevor died from starvation or dehydration after that.

In addition to the Spencer Estate, Trevor was also hired by Edward Ashford to design him a mansion similar to the Spencer one. His design was never finished, but parts of it were applied to the Antarctic Facility owned by the Ashfords, such as the main hall (which resembled the Spencer version).

 Kevin Dooley

Kevin Dooley was a helicopter pilot working for the Raccoon Police Department. He was not an official S.T.A.R.S. operative, but had assisted the team before on various occasions. His prior occupation before being recruited by the RPD was working as a stunt pilot for the entertainment industry.

Kevin was placed as Bravo Team's pilot instead of their regular pilot, Edward Dewey, when the team was dispatched to investigate the recent homicides that had occurred within the Arklay region. Edward instead acting as the team's navigator. When the helicopter suffered a serious engine failure mid-flight, Dooley managed to put it down in thick foliage without injuring a single member of Bravo Team, proving himself an exceptional pilot. Due to Kevin's lack of high-threat combat training and field experience, he was forced to stay put within the damaged helicopter whilst Bravo Team began their search for Billy Coen. On the following night, Kevin's corpse was found by Alpha Team's Joseph Frost, severely mutilated by the many infected Cerberus guard dogs wandering the forest. The same dogs that would later claim Joseph's life, too.

Alfred Ashford

Age 27 (born 1971)

Blood Type Unknown

Gender Male

Height 176cm

Weight 61.8 kg

Alfred Ashford was born as a product of Alexander Ashford's "Code: Veronica" project, an attempt to create an offspring with the a level of intelligence on par with Veronica Ashford, the first master of the Ashford clan. He was born in 1971 along with a twin sister named Alexia. Of the two, Alfred only possessed moderately high intelligence compared to Alexia, who was considered a child prodigy.

Alfred and Alexia had a very close relationship as they grew up and often did their things together. His close bonding with Alexia eventually lead him to insanity. At the age of 12, Alfred and Alexia learned the truth about their birth after discovering Alexander's secret lab within the Ashford's Antarctic facility. Upset about the revelation, he decided to use his father as a guinea pig for Alexia's T-Veronica experiment. The experiment was considered a failure, with Alexander turning into a mindless monster (later codenamed Nosferatu). As a result, Alexia was forced to inject herself with T-Veronica and was put to cryogenic sleep in order to properly develop the virus from within. Alfred was forced to live without his sister for the next fifteen years.

In 1993, Alfred graduated from a university in England and took over both the Rockfort Island's Military Training Facility and the Antarctic Research Facility. He ruled over the island as a complete dictator, torturing and killing prisoners, as well decorating his facility with all sorts of military paraphernalia. Around this time, he developed a multiple personality disorder in which he would pose as his sister Alexia due to the pain of being separated from her for such an extended time.

Alexia Ashford

Age 27 (born in 1971)

Blood Type Unknown

Gender Female

Height 175cm

Weight 54.3kg

Alexia and Alfred were born in 1971 as offspring of Alexander Ashford's (the sixth generation headmaster of the Ashford clan) "Code: Veronica" project, an attempt to clone Veronica Ashford (the first matriarch of Ashfords and worshipped by her descendants) by implanting her genes into an artificially inseminated ovum. Of the two, Alexia possessed superb intelligence and was considered to be a genius at a young age, in constrast to Alfred, who only had moderately high intelligence. As a result, Alexia had a very dominant relationship with her twin brother and treated him as a mere servant. She attended a prestigious university at a young age and by the time she was 10 (in 1981), she had already graduated valedictorian.

Afterwards, she was hired by the Umbrella Corporation and appointed as head researcher of their Antarctic Facility. This earned the jealousy of William Birkin, the head researcher of the Arklay Research Facility, who was the youngest researcher employed by Umbrella until the arrival of Alexia and considered her to be his greatest rival. Within the facility, she developed the T-Veronica after her research on the behavioural pattern of ant queens and their servants, as well as her research on the T-Virus.

She had no suitable test subject to experiment with after completing the virus, so she decided to use her father as guinea pig for the experiment in 1983. However, Alexander was mutated into a mindless creature and the experiment was considered a failure. Alexia learned that in order for a host to form a symbiotic relationship with the T-Veronica, the host must be kept in cryogenic sleep for at least 15 years. And thus, Alexia implanted herself with T-Veronica and decided to remain asleep in a cryogenic chamber in the Antarctic Facility, while her brother Alfred watched out for her. During her sleep, Alfred developed a second personality after suffering a withdrawal syndrome from her absence.

HUNK

Blood Type Unknown

Gender Male

Height Unknown

Weight Unknown

HUNK received his training in the training facility located on Rockfort Island, where U.S.S. operatives were taught to deal against B.O.Ws and other biohazardous outbreak. When he began his actual mercenary career, he completed various classified operations in which he was the only surviving member of his team. Because of his high survival rate (and the low survival rate of his comrades), he was given the nickname "Mr. Death" by his comrades and also developed a rivalry with the notorious mercenary Nicholai Ginovaef, from the Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service (another of Umbrella's special task forces).

In September, 1998, HUNK was assigned to the USFU Alpha Team under orders from Christine Henri (Head Manager of Umbrella's R&D Facility in France) to infiltrate Umbrella's underground lab in Raccoon City, assassinate renegade scientist William Birkin and steal a sample of the G-Virus. However, the mission went horribly awry when Birkin injected himself with the G-Virus, turning into a monstrous creature. The entire Alpha Team was decimated and the T-Virus was leaked to the city. HUNK managed to survive the assault and procured a sample of the G-Virus that was in the pendant of William Birkin's daughter Sherry Birkin. Encountering hordes of creatures and mutants while escaping from the city's sewers and police station, HUNK successfully reached the extraction chopper on the precinct's roof. Afterwards, he was transported to the region of Loire in France, where he delivered the sample to his superiors.

After his mission in Raccoon City, he went through another classified operation in which he and his team transported a B.O.W. capsule to Rockfort Island. Although he has the utmost respect for the island's commander, Alfred Ashford, he also criticized Ashford's confidentiality policy in his report, as he refused to divulge the content of the B.O.W. capsule (an experimental Tyrant model).

HUNK's whereabouts after Umbrella's shutdown by the government are unknown, although it is believed he presently works as a mercenary for hire.

Unlike the other UBCS members, who are mostly third-world mercenaries or convicted war criminals hired as foot-soldiers by Umbrella, Nicholai is a career Umbrella secret agent. Unbeknownst to his UBCS comrades, Nicholai is one of the "Supervisors" assigned to operation "Bravo 16". Supervisors are Umbrella agents stationed throughout the city assigned to monitor the T-virus outbreak, as well as to gather combat data on the various monsters as the UBCS soldiers encounter and fight them. However, Umbrella's monsters proved to be even more effective than the company anticipated, and the UBCS teams were utterly wiped out, stranding Nicholai and the other Supervisors within the city limits.

An exceptionally ruthless and crafty individual, not caring about anyone but himself, Nicholai realizes that if all the other Supervisors were to die, he will have a monopoly on the combat data, giving him the ability to bargain for a higher price from Umbrella. Nicholai spends much of his time covertly hunting down the other Supervisors and executing them,but unfortunately for Nicholai, Carlos learns that he is eliminating the rest of the UBCS and informs Jill that Nicholai is dangerous and wil try to eliminate them. Jill Valentine, in her explorations of Raccoon City, often unknowingly encounters his handiwork. Nicholai also plotted to kill Jill in order to collect a bounty Umbrella placed on her life.

Jill eventually confronts Nicholai, Nicholai might have tryed to eliminate Jill at that moment if there hadn´t been an intervention by a B.O.W known as Gravedigger. Unlike Albert Wesker, who had previously also deceived and betrayed Jill, Nicholai does not gloat about his deception. Rather than bearing his enemies and victims any malice, Nicholai seems to take a detached, business-like attitude towards dispatching them through booby traps, which allows us to understand that he is only interested about his career, and doens´t care about the methods he as to use to achieve his goals. Though in the novelization of Resident Evil 3, he is displayed to have a minorly sadistic attribute, mainly because he shoots Mikhail just to see him in pain and he constantly contemplates how to get the most horrified looks from Carlos and Mikhail when he betrays them.

Osmund Saddler is the leader of a religious cult in Europe known as the "Los Iluminados" (from Spanish, The Illuminated) which seeks to overthrow the U.S. government in order to reshape the world to their vision. He was successful in unleashing the "Plagas" parasites which remained dormant in the Salazar family's castle by brainwashing the eighth castellan, Ramon, to do his bidding. The two contracted miners from a nearby village to excavate the seal on the parasites. Due to years of lying dormant, the parasites have since formed into a spore-like substance, which infected the miners and later spread to the rest of the local villagers, transforming them into mind-controlled creatures known as "Ganados" (Cattle). Saddler was also capable of controlling the Ganados using a specialized Master Plaga vial, called the "Sample" and what appeared to be a living ceremonial rod made from one of the parasites.

Like most of Saddler's men, he has been implanted with a Plaga parasite, although his Plaga seems to have matured ahead of the Ganados', as it has taken over his entire body, including his spine. Mendez also wears a fake eye in his left eye socket (how he lost his original eye is never revealed). The fake eye contains a brown iris, contrasting with its natural blue counterpart, and is encoded to open the gate to Ramon Salazar's castle.

Centuries ago, the first Salazar castellan sealed off a breed of parasites known as "Las Plagas", which were used by Los Illuminados to take control of people and recruit new members.

However, Ramon, the eighth castellan, lived alone with his butler and had no immediate family since childhood. This left him vulnerable to Osmund Saddler's influence, who convinced him to join Los Illuminados and undo the seal of Las Plagas in order to atone for the "sins" of his ancestors. He also injected one of the parasites into his own body, believing it would give him power over the Ganados, and was also given two mutated bodyguards known as Verdugos. Eventually, he was completely taken over by the power of the parasites. Salazar found himself a recluse in his castle close to the village, as he no longer cared for anything but the survival and domination of Los Illuminados, which led to his assistance in the capture of U.S. President's daughter Ashley Graham. Only his butler knew the truth of his full spiritual incapacitation (aside from Saddler).
