Canon divergence, the long post.

Alrighty !  Here  is  the  OFFICAL  Wesker  info  post.  This  will  probably  be  long  so  you’re  warned.  Much  of  this  will  be  going  on  Wesker’s  bio  page  when  I’m  ready  to  put  that  up.  So  ultimately,  having  gone  back  through  all  the  games  relevant  to  Wesker  I’ve  got  a  clearer  idea  of  stuff  now  hence  this  post.  I’ve  decided  I’m  MOSTLY  following  canon  with  the  most  major  alteration  being  Wesker’s  death  in  Re5.  

I  kinda  debated  if  I  wanted  to  use  anything   from  Re5  at  all  but  yeah,  ultimately  I’ve  decided  I’m  going  to  because  having  done  some  deep  thinking  about  it  I  do  think  everything  was  fine.   I’m  covering  the  whole  backstory  /  basically  everything  else  of  note  I  can  think  of.  I  wasn’t  able  to  completely  finish/cover  everything  due  to  computer  lag  from  length  lol,  so  I  might  make  a  part  2  if  I  don’t  just  put  everything  on  his  BIO  page  before  then. 

As  far  as  my  headcanon  goes  Wesker  was  raised  by  an  Upper-middle  class   mother  and  father  by  the  names  of  Nathan  and  Diana  Wesker.  These  are  the  people  Wesker  recognises  as  his  parents,  though  obviously  he  now  believes  they  were  not  his  biological  parents  and  were  instead  simply  contracted  by  Spencer  and  part  of  the  Wesker  child  experiment.  None  the  less  Nathan  and  Diana  were  thought  of  as  respectful  members  of  their  community  with  Nathan  working  as  an  oral  surgeon  with  his  own  clinic  where  Diana  also  worked,  thought  to  be  a  family  business.  

Again  Wesker  suspects  this  was  all  smoke  and  mirrors  and  that  whoever  they  really  were,  they  were  working  for  Umbrella/Spencer.  When  Wesker  was  about  13  he  had  already  excelled  through  all  traditional  education  and  had  frequented  two  high  class  boarding  schools.  He  spent  the  next  four  years  studying  for  a  decorate.  He  earned  this  when  he  was  16  and  was  personally  invited  to  participate  in  Umbrella’s  executive  training  programme,  which  would  have  entailed  spending  another  year  or  two  at  umbrella’s  private  training  facility  which  was  not  a  hard  transition  for  Wesker  since  this  was  literally  a  specialised  boarding  school. 

This  meant,  honestly,  in  comparison  to  other  children  Wesker  really  didn’t  spend  a  lot  of  time  with  his  “parents”.  By  the  time  he  was  school  aged  he  spent  most  of  his  time  away  from  them,  only  seeing  them  for  a  few  months  here   and  there.  He  kept  contact  with  them  largely  by  letters  that  he  would  write  them  every  few  days  and  they  would  write  him  back.  When  Wesker  was  about  14  he  received  news  that  the  two  of  them  had  perished  in  a  car  accident. 

He  found  himself  mostly  untroubled  by  this  aside  from  the  initial  surprise.  Again  at  this  time  Wesker  was  studying  for  his  doctorate  so  the  parents  he  already  had  a  somewhat  distant  relationship  with  were  the  least  of  his  concern.  He  doesn’t  remember  crying,  or  really  being  overly  upset.  He  didn’t  like  the  news  but  what  could  he  do ?  He  didn’t  attend  their  “funeral”  and  was  in  fact  encouraged  not  to  and  to  continue  studying  which  seemed  to  work  for  him  as  he  felt  his  “parents”  would  also  want  that.

 He  couldn’t  say  if  he  was  actually  saddened   and   the  work  helped  distract  him  or  if   he  just  never  really  cared  that  much.  He  doesn’t  know.  However,  he  was  probably  more  upset  about  this  than  he  realised  as  he  does  feel  a  sense  of  intense  anger/betrayal  toward  “them”  upon  finding  out  he  was  part  of  Project  W.  Its  not  something  he  entirely  recognises  of  himself  outward,  probably  because  he  would  rather  keep  up  the  illusion  that  he’s  fine  with  it.

He  doesn’t  really  have  any  negative  memories  of  them.  He  didn’t  have  a  bad  childhood  and  considers  it  to  have  been  good   and  normal  beside  the  higher  than  average  school  load  he  had,  but  this  was  something  he  liked  as  someone  with  such  a  high  intellect  so  he  didn’t  take  any  issue  with  it.  Aside  from  the  obvious  emotional  distance  he  felt  between  himself  and  them  he  was  provided  for  and  well  looked  after. 

At  the  Umbrella  training  school  Wesker  met  William  Birkin  who  instantly  captured  his  interest  and  attention.  Initially  of  course  it  was  William’s  smarts  that  put  him  on  Wesker’s  radar.  William  was  only  15  years  old  when  he  was  enrolled  in  the  training  school  and  Wesker  was  just   about  17.  William  being  the  youngest  attendee  made  him  a  bit  of  a  standout  and  at  this  time  William  was  the  record  holder  for  the  youngest  person  to  have  earned  a  doctorate  and  the  youngest  person  head  hunted  by  Umbrella.  Wesker  recalls  that  this  made  William  the  subject  of  much  envy  and  competition.  

He  took  notice  of  how  William  tended  to  be  somewhat  ostracized  and  of   William’s  somewhat  unremarkable  background.  Contrary  to  many  of  Umbrella’s  chosen  candidates  he  wasn’t  some  aristocrat  or  someone  from  a  particularly  wealthy  or  high  social  standing.  What  got  William  where  he  was  was  entirely  that  big  old  brain  of  his.  What's  more  was  William's  somewhat  disconnected  and  “humble”  demeanour.  He  was  plucky   and  confident  when  need  be,  but  with  no  real  conceit  or  arrogance  where  it  wasn’t  due,  that  gave  him  a  pretty  obvious  contrast  against  other  Umbrella  trainee  candidates.   William  stood  out  among  his  well-to-do  peers  who  had  majorly  lived  very  privileged  lives  and  tended  to  think  all  too  highly  of  themselves.  

Wesker  also  took  notice  of  how  largely  unbothered  William  seemed  in  a  way  that  almost  felt  naïve.  William  was  pretty  damn  happy  to  just  keep  his  head  down,  keep  quiet  and  study  and  thats  how  William  thrived.  All  of  this  was  so  extremely  fascinating  and  admirable  to  Wesker  who  pretty  much  fell  in  love  for  lack  of  a  better  way  to  explain.  They  were  quickly  placed  as  the  two  top  students  and  taken  under  the  wing  of  Doctor  Marcus.  However,  Wesker  soon  decided  William  was  not  the  guy  to  “beat”  but  rather  the  one  to  “keep”.  

The  nasty,  heated  rivalry  the  company  higherups  encouraged  between  the  top  students  quickly  became  something  Wesker  recognised  and  felt  was  unbeneficial  to  him.  While  Wesker  may  have  been  arguably  “better  bred”  and  infinitely  “more  mature”,  he  wasn’t  so  arrogant  to  think  he  could  beat  William  when  it  come  to  academics  and  sheer  brilliance  so  instead  he  quickly  became  Williams  friend   and   loyal  ally.   Something  very  easy  considering  how  alone  and  again  how  somewhat  naïve  William  seemed  without  him.  This  was  Wesker  deviating  from  the  norm  and  from  what  was  heavily  encouraged  of  the  students  at  the  Umbrella  training  facility.  Going  to  paste  a  snippet  from  the  last  info  drop  I  made: 

Wesker  was  never  suppose  to  become  friends  with  William  the  way  he  did.  The  two  became  pretty  “close”  and  generally  teamed  up  together  despite  the  fact  that  the  opposite  was  intended.  This  just  became  a  fact  of  the  training  facility  and  later  the  Arkley  research  facility  and  at  some  point  the  Umbrella  higher-ups  had  to  accept  that  Wesker  had  an  attachment  to  William  that  wasn’t  easily  broken.  We  do  know  its  canon  that  there  was  efforts  made  by  Umbrella  higher  ups  to  taint  their  friendship  /  turn  them  against  each  other  but  that  didn’t  work  and  apparently  just  had  the  opposite  effect.

Thinking  about  it  I  think  the  views  Umbrella   had  instilled  in  Wesker  were  kinda  a  factor  in  why  Wesker  entertained  a  friendship  with  William.  Wesker’s  initial  approach  to  William  was  both  a  matter  of  respect  for  his  intelligence  and  indeed  seeing  that  as  something  he  could  use  for  himself. Which  is  precisely  why  William’s  “academic”  superiority  over  Wesker  wasn’t  something  Wesker  thought  of  with  distain.  He  had  no  jealousy  or  contempt  for  William  and  no  drive  to  beat  or  destroy  him.  Instead  he  was  happy  to  befriend  William   and  foster  an  attachment  between  the  two  of  them  because  this  was  something  that  benefited  Wesker  greatly.  more  than  trying  to  rival  him  would/  It  was  easy  due  to  William’s  isolation   and  the  fact  that,  also  drawing  from  my  own  headcanons  about  William,  William  wasn't  built  like  Wesker.  He  was  a  mega  genius  but  he  wasn’t  as  heavily  conditioned  by  Umbrella  as  Wesker  had  been  and  again  he  didn’t  come  from  wealth.

 Though  Wesker  didn’t  know  it  Umbrella  had  been  influencing  and  conditioning  him  since  he  was  a  child.  The  boarding  schools  Wesker  attended  were  Umbrella  run  and   promoted  Umbrella’s  ethical  ideals. William  on  the  other  hand  was  chosen  to  participate  in  Umbrella  training  facility  not  because  of  some  grand  plan  to  produce  Spencer’s  perfect  “successor”,  or  rather,  the  first  in  a  line  of  “superior”  humans  who  would  accompany  Spencer  into  a  “new  world”,  but  because  William  was  just  genuinely  very  smart  and  of  course  Umbrella  execs  saw  potential.  His  intelligence  was  something  the  company  knew  it  could  make  use  of,  even  if  they  had  no  intention  of  him  being  anything  more  than  an  overworked  scientist. 

So  from  early  on,  in  a  way  kind  of  subconscious  to  Wesker,  he  had  been  trained  to  spot  things/people  he  could  use  to  further  himself.  So  though  Wesker  came  from  a  similar  place  of  privilege  as  many  of  his  other  fellow  students,  Wesker  was  not  so  self-absorbed  that  he  couldn’t  accept  his  better  and  instead  find  a  way  to  make  that  work  to  his  advantage.  Becoming  a  highly  trusted  friend  and  confident  of  William  achieved  this.  and  while  this  is  largely  my  own  speculation  I  think  it  works  well  because  it  intentionally  mirrors  the  early  relationship  between  Dr.  James  Marcus  and  Ozwell  Spencer. 

That  being  said  I  do  believe  a  very  genuine  sense  of  love  and  companionship  existed  between  Wesker  and  William. They  were  actually  friends.  Wesker  did  frequently  have  William’s  best  interests  in  mind  and  though  these  interests  usually  wound  up  benefitting  him,  William  was  someone  he  related  to,  enjoyed  the  company  of  and  could  easily  share  thoughts,  feelings  and  ideas  with.  This  along  with  the  fact  they  tended  to  team  together  against  everyone  else  gave  them  a  very  emotionally  intimate  and  sometimes  dependent  relationship.  Essentially  the  feels  /  friendship  was  genuine,  not  to  get  Wesker’s  very  manipulative  and  cunning  tactics  wrong  or  to  assume  he  never  actually  had  any  genuine  affection  for  William. 

Moreover,  another  snippet  from  the  last  post: 

I  kinda  believe  the  friendship  between  William  and  Wesker  is  what  got  them  both  through  the  training  facility.  I  think  had  a  rivalry  actually  ensued  between  them  one  of  them  might  not  have  made  it  through.  Why ? Because  William  had  the  raw  genius  but  Wesker  was  Spencer's  cunning  little  pet  project.  Teaming  up  with  William  ensured  Wesker  would  get  results  worthy  of  approval  while  Wesker’s  existence  as  an  experiment  that  was  essentially  going  as  planned  and  who  was  getting  all  the  marks  needed  to  progress  meant  William  was  assured  a  leg  up  while  they  were  functioning  well  together  as  partners.  It  was  a  very  mutually  beneficial  thing  they  had  going  on,  although  obviously  the  true  depth  and  scope  of  this  was  not  something  either  of  them  knew.  There  is  a  canon  suggestion  that  Wesker  and  William  stole  a  sample  of  Dr. Marcus’  T - Virus  in  order  to  ensure  their  graduation  from  the  training  facility  and  what  ultimately  granted  them  their  senior  status  at  the  Arkley  Research  facility  that  they  were  then  swiftly  moved  to  at  the  age  of  16  and  18  respectively.  This  explains  their  early  graduation  and  the  top  positions  they  were  thrown  into.  They  had  made  a  deal  with  Spencer's  executives  to  steal  a  sample  of  Marcus  work  and  hand  it  over  to  Spencer.  It  make  sense  that  the  two  of  them  would  do  this,  given  the  extremely  cut-throat  /  competitive  atmosphere  of  Umbrella,  even  present  within  their  training  school.  Another  factor  of  this  is  the  canon  fact  that  Dr. Marcus  was  experimenting  on  the  students  of  the  training  facility,  tricking  them  into  infecting  themselves  with  the  T  Virus  and  also  capturing  and  imprisoning  them  in  secret  rooms  where  they  were  being  tortured  extensively  and   killed  again  as  part  of  Marcus’  private  experiments  with  T. 

So  essentially  it  was  in  Wesker  and  William’s  best  interest  to  escape  asap. I  think  the  two  of  them  figured  this  out  and  decided  they  couldn’t  take  any  chances  with  Dr. Marcus  and  quickly  formulated  what  they  could  do  to  gtfo  for  their  lives.  I  believe  Wesker  was  the  one  who  was  contacted  initially  to  steal  work  and  he  basically  involved  William  in  the  scheme  because  of  their  friendship  and  William’s  worth  to  him  in  the  long  run.  Plus  everything  went  easier  with  two  people  working  against  Marcus,  one  to  do  the  distracting  and  the  other  to  snatch  a  sample.  If  anyone  ever  wondered  why  Wesker  and  William  were  so  personally  invested  in  Dr. Marcus’  downfall   and  assassination  this  is  why.  This  is  pretty  much  canon  via  files  found  throughout  Resident  Evil  0. 

Wesker  worked  at  the  Arkley  facility  with  William  for  a  number  of  years  after  this.  Things  were  however  turned  upside  down  when  Alexia  was  named  a  chief  researcher  for  Umbrella  at  age  10.  

This  was  when  things  started  to  slide  down  hill  as  Alexia’s  existence  turned  the  rest  of  the  staff  against  William  and  to  an  extent  Wesker,  who  they  felt  they  no  longer  had  to  see  as  their  superiors  in  a  nut  shell.  Wesker  was  able  to  largely  shrug  this  off  but  it  destroyed  William  and   threw  him  into  depression  and  paranoia.  Wesker  made  efforts  to  keep  William  afloat  but  they  were  now  struggling  and   their  research  was  becoming  stale  as  William  was  no  longer  functioning  the  way  he  used  to.  Wesker  had  to  recognise  things  were  bad  and   he  wasn’t  sure  if  he  could  “fix”  William  despite  his  efforts  and  aspirations  to  do  so. 

As  a   result  he  began  to  put  his  efforts  and  focus  else  where,  believing  that  the  Alexia  bullshit  would  eventually  cool   off  and  things  would  switch  back  to  normal.  Wesker  was   carrying  the  research  at  this  point  and  desperately  looking  into  other  resources  that  they  might  be  able  to  use  to  further  things. 

However,  it  was  during  this  time  during  Alexia’s  arrival  and  continuing  until  slightly  after  her  “death”,  Wesker  began  to  notice  other  things.  A  big  factor  in  Wesker  changing  his  direction  in  life  was  when  he  began  to  suspect  Spencer  was  up  to  something.  He  began  to  feel  as  if  a  lot  of  what  was  going  on  was  intentional  and  he  began  to  question  what  Umbrella’s  /  Spencer's   true  goals  really  were.  He  noted   research  into  T  was  starting  to  become  costly  and  despite  being  presented  as  a  B.O.W  a   lot  of  things  weren't  making  full  sense  as  such.  

A  major  point  in  this  was  when  Wesker  was  out  on  one  of  his  routine  hikes  through  the  Akrley  mountains  and  started  to  recount  on  the  research  they  were  doing  with  the  T  Virus.  Wesker  thought  about  how  viruses  like  T   have  a  high  infection  rate  and  that  they’re  not  limited  to  one  species  as  a  host.  He  noted  the  sheer  amount  of  biological  material  that  surrounded  the  Arkley  research  facility,  various  different  flora  and  fauna  and  then  the  fact  that  there  was  a  decent  sized  city  (Raccoon  City)  not   far  off.  He  came  to  realise  this  was  an  INCREDIBLY  dangerous  place  to  be  researching  a  virus  such  as  T. 

He  began  doing  some  of  his  own  personal  experiments  to  test  his  theory  and  was  quite  disturbed  to  find  that  yes,  T  is  able  to  infect  biological  matter  indiscriminately.  Birds,  insects  and  plants  were  easily  infected  and  weaponised  by  T  and  that  was  just  the  things  they  hadn’t  done  too  many  tests  on  previously  as  they  already  knew  T  could  infect  marine  life  and  reptiles  and  all  mammals  as  they  already  had  ample  data  to  prove  that.  So  here  was  a  virus  that  could  infect  pretty  much  all  living  organisms.  Being  worked  on  an  extremely  biologically  rich  environment.  If  it  ever  got  out  somehow  it  would  be  absolutely  catastrophic. 

 Couple  this  with  the  knowing  that  Spencer / Umbrella  executives  had  been  open  about  desiring  a  100%  infection  rate  from  T  (  which  was  already  a  little  unusual )  and  the  research  that  was  currently  being  done  was  being  done  to  remedy  the  fact  that  no  virus  could  ever  have  a  100%  infection  rate.  There  would  always  be  carriers  who  were  asymptomatic  and  those  who  were  naturally  resistant  to  the  Virus  (like  Jill  turned  out  to  be).  The  reason  for  working  on  B.O.Ws  like  Tyrant  and  Hunter  was  for  them  to  be  a  clean  up  crew  in  the  event  of  a  virus  outbreak,  and  take  care  of  anyone/thing  that  escaped  death/destruction  via  T. 

So  Wesker  was  suspicious  and  alarmed  and  had  an  idea  something  more  than  just  simple  B.O.W  research  and  production  was  going  on.  Wesker  details  all  of  this  better  in  Wesker’s  Report  2,  but  thats  the  summary.  Its  unclear  how  much  of  this  Wesker  was  able  to  share  with  William,  though  he  expresses  wanting  to,  he  finds  it  hard  given  William  was  still  in  his  very  depressed  state  in  coping  with  the  existence  of  Alexia  and  he  just  wasn't  sure  William  was  stable  enough  to  be  having  the  same  level  of  chats  they  used  to  have. 

Wesker  decides  at  this  point  he  needs  a  career  change  to  get  to  the  bottom  of  it  but  decides  to  do  this  very  very  slowly  so  as  not  to  arouse  suspicion.  For  the  meantime  he  goes  back  to  trying  to  help  William  and  progress  research.  He  found  out  about  the  NE-type  parasite  being  developed  within  Umbrella’s  European  branch  and  began  to  tell  William  about  it,  careful  as  he's  aware  William’s  mental  state  hasn't  been  top  notch  lately.  At  first  he  notes  William  wasn’t  really  interested  but  he  soon  managed  to  get  him  on  board.  This  is  also  occurring  just  after  Alexia  was  declared  dead  from  a  lab  accident.  

Wesker  notes  this  really  “helped”  William  as  suddenly  he  became  relevant  again  and  the  other  researcher  were  once  again  back  to  looking  at  him  and  Wesker  as  their  superiors,  as  they  should.  With  the  respect  and  balance  restored,  William  started  to  go  back  to  normal,  so  normal  in  fact  he  apparently  found  interest  in  a  another  fellow  researcher  called  Annette  and  struck  up  a  romantic  relationship  with  her.  Wesker  noted  a  faint  sense  of  contempt/bewilderment  for  this  but  basically  minded  his  business.  What  else  could  he  do ?  Besides,  William  seemed  happy  as  odd  as  it  were 

and  this  was  the  beginning  of  the  birth  of  the  G  virus.  The  tests  ran  on  Lisa  Trevor  using  the  NE  type  Parasite  lead  to  G’s  discovery.  During  the  four  year  period  between  G’s  discovery  and  approval,  Wesker  had  transferred  into  Umbrella’s  intelligence  unit.  Wesker  notes  his  reasoning  for  this  was  because  G  was  going  beyond  his  ability as  researcher  but  William  on  the  other  hand  was  thriving.  He  decided  it  was  the  perfect  time  to  transfer  as  both  his  interests  had  changed  and  everything  seemed  to  be  quite stable  and  normal,  William  seemed  to  have  things  under  control.  

So  while  Wesker  had  transferred  to  Umbrella’s  intelligence  bureau  William  and  Annette  were  transferred  to  the  NEST  which  was  constructed  specially  for  the  research  being  done  into  G.  Wesker  also  notes  that  this  was  a  huge  point  of  interest  for  him  as  he  found  it  odd  that  Spencer  took  such  personal  interest  in  and  approved  further  research  into  G  given  it  deviated  from  the  norm.  G  was  not  so  good  as  a  B.O.W  but  it’s  eugenics  potential  was  astronomical.  This  was  a  clue  of  sorts,  and  Wesker  took  close  notice  of  Spencer’s  behaviours  and  noted  that  he  seemed  to  be  readying  himself  for  something. 

I’m  kinda  happy  to  mince  some  of  the  lore  in  the  REmakes   and   the  stuff  that  was  canon  /  implied  in  the  original  games  so  from  here  on  this  is  majorly  my  own  headcanons  /  interpretation  of  events  based  on  the  games  /  what  makes  the  most  sense  to  me  as  sometimes  things  in  canon  are  a  bit  weird  /  hard  to  follow  /  some  things  do  contradict  with  others.  Some  things  will  be  added  to  /  slightly  rewritten  as  a  result. 

In 1998,  Wesker  and  William  are  directed  to  reopen  the  old  Umbrella  training  facility.  William  who  would  be  one  of  the  head  / leading  roles  of  the  newly  re-opened  facility,  basically  taking  Dr.Marcus  former  role  and  Wesker,  who  had  spent  the  last  five  years  dabbling  in  the  military   and   part  of   Umbrella’s  personal  security  force  was  set  to  oversee  this.  However,  as  preparations  were  being  made  to  reopen  the  facility,  something  unexpected  happened.  Dr. Marcus,  who  had  been  assassinated  about  ten  years  prior,  resurrected  from  the  dead  and  began  to  wreak  havoc  on  the  facility  and  surrounding  areas  with  T-infected  leaches  who  began  to  rapidly  spread  the  virus.  Birkin  and  Wesker  in  a  state  of  concern  and  confusion,   and   tasked  with  containing  this  bizarre  incident  sent  an  Umbrella  security  team  to  investigate.  They  are  however  quickly  overwhelmed  and   killed  by  the  T-infected  leaches. 

As the two (Billy and Rebecca) search the training school, they uncover disturbing evidence of what happened here both in the 1970s and recently. While built to oversee training of gifted teenagers recruited by Umbrella, evidence points towards Marcus deliberately using the children as test subjects in inhuman bioweapons research, turning them into Zombies, with two-level basement containing a torture chamber covered in dried blood. Zombies roam the halls of the school. Some of them are those children, left alone for twenty years. Others belong to Birkin's investigation team, consisting of USS and technicians sent recently to refurbish the school for re-opening.

Wesker  and  Birkin  quickly  start  to  figure  out  that  the  man/creature  behind  the  outbreak  is  actually  Dr. Marcus  himself,  despite  the  odds.  Wesker,  who  had  been  planning  on  leaving  Umbrella  for  some  time  now  decides  this  is  the  perfect  opportunity  to  jump  ship.  He  and  William  have  apparently  had  talks  about  this  together  previously  and  had  both  been  interested  in  diverging  from  Umbrella.  Wesker  because  he  no  longer  trusted  the  company /  suspected  Spencer  was  up  to  something  and  William  because  they  continued  to  deny  him  the  promotion  he  was  practically  owed  and   treated  oddly  as  they  did  not  want  for  William  to  get  any  power  over  the  company.

So  while  William  was  very  much  entertaining  ideas  to  leave  Umbrella  he  wasn’t  ready  to  depart  right   away  due  to  his  work  with  G   and  more  than  likely  fearing  for  the  safety  of  his  wife  and  child,  which  had been  a  major  concern  on  his  mind  ever  since  the  executives  started  making  it  clear  they  were  trying  to  keep  William  from  achieving  any  higher  rank.  So  considering  nothing  good  would  happen  to  his  research  or   and  his  family  if  he  just  up  and  disappeared  for  a  while  he  wasn’t  quite  ready  to  leave  immediately. 

Wesker  who  had  no  such  ties  though  decides,  despite  William’s  fears  he  can’t  be  deterred  from  executing  his  ‘escape’  plan  as  he  didn't  see  Umbrella  being  able  to  recover  from  this.  This  would  be  the  beginning  of  the  end  for  Umbrella.  William  attempts  to  oppose  this  but  Wesker  assures  him  there's  nothing  left  he  can  do.  They  come  to  an  agreement  that  William  will  stay  behind  long  enough  to  finalise  his  research  on  G,  While  Wesker  would  proceed  to  do  what  he  needed  to  do  in  order  to  collect  the  combat  data  that  he  could  log   and  trade  to  The  organisation  he  had  been  courting  as  a  big  step  out  of  Umbrella.  The  idea  being  William  stays  behind  and  lays  low  long  enough  to  finish  G,  then  Wesker  would  contact  him  when  he  was  ready  and  they  would  begin  the  process  of  getting  himself,  G  and  his  family  out  of  Umbrella  as  well.  

They  agreed  that  Wesker  would  lure  the  remaining  S.T.A.R.S  members  to  the  Spencer  mansion  as  he  had  already  been  instructed  to  do,  while  William  putting  up  a  good  front  for  Umbrella  would  set  off  the  self  destruct  in  order  to  eliminate  Marcus  and  his  leach  army,  hopefully  delaying  the  outbreak.  Seemingly  as  a  precaution,  William  then  gave  Wesker  a  sample  of  a  virus  he  created,  perhaps  to  sweeten  the  deal  between  the  two  of  them  and  the  rival  company. 

Meanwhile, Birkin and Wesker begin their own plans. Operating on the theory the mysterious man is somehow Marcus himself brought back to life, he poses a considerable threat and must be dealt with. Birkin plans to set off the facility's self-destruct device to blow up the training school and the man along with it.

This  is  where  the  canon  divergence  really  takes  effect  for  me  because,  during  the  early  RE  games,  the  Virus  William  gave  to  Wesker  seemed  to  be  the  G  virus.  Which  made  Wesker  a  functioning  G  human.  This  was  changed  in  RE5  when  we  found  out  this  was  suppose  to  be  the  “prototype”  virus.  I  wrote  a  post  here  explaining  why  I  diverge  from  this  and   why  thats  a  kinda  stupid  decision  IMO.  Those  posts  can  be  found  here  and  here.  Warning  they’re  also  quite  long.  

The  second  one  is  more  of  a  nutshell  version  of  the  first  +  the   conformation  that  what  I’m  about  to  say  was  actually  “canon”  prior  to  RE5.  So  feel  free  to  only  read  that  one  if  any  of  my  hyper fix  nonsense  interests  anyone  at  all  LMAO.  I  also  want  to  note  its  pretty  easy  for  me  to  take  it  back  and  follow  canon  so  if  the  G  human  Wesker  thing  doesn’t  work  for  some  folks  its  fine,  it  doesn’t  have  to  be  a  thing,  although  given  its  minor   and  doesn’t  really  change  anything  highly  important  and  only  makes  things  easier  to  understand  I  don’t  see  how  it  would  be  an  issue  for  anyone  tbqh. 

With  a  sample  of  the  G  virus  in  his  possession  and  William’s  research  findings  on  G’s  regenerative  capabilities  Wesker  attempts  to  exit  the  training  facility  through an  underground  tunnel.  Here  he’s  confronted  by  Colonel  Sergei  Vladimir  who  was  apparently  keeping  tabs  on  Wesker  and  felt  suspicious  of  him.  He  confronts  Wesker  and  berates  him  for  his  decision  to  set  off  the  self  destruct  device  in  the  training  school  as  this  had  not  been  ordered  by  Spencer.  Interestingly  enough  William  isn’t  mentioned,  which  suggests  Sergei,  due  to  his  pre-existing  suspicions  toward  Wesker  apparently  decided  this  was  Wesker’s  idea  and  doing  alone  and   took  a  big  issue  with  it  as  it  wasn’t  ordered  by  Spencer.

 With  Wesker  making  no  attempt  to  indcate  otherwise  Sergei  is   unhappy  with  the  insubordination  Wesker  was  showing  and  he  instructed  his  Ivans  to  teach  Wesker  a  lesson,  however  Wesker  managed  to  come  out  on  top  and  escape  and  without  much  time  left  before  the  self-destruct  device  would  detonate  Sergei  was  forced  to  leave. 

This  was  the  first  snag  Wesker’s  plan  had  hit  and  this  made  it  obvious  to  him  that  he  was  in  more  danger  than  he  realised.  Moreover  the  X  day  plan  was  already  extremely  risky  to  his  own  life.  It  may  have  been  obvious  at  this  point  that  William  might  have  been  in  more  danger  than  originally  thought  was  well  but  given  Sergei  never  mentioned  William  and  seemed  to  believe  it  was  Wesker’s  idea  and  Wesker  who  set  off  the  self  destruct  device  it  seemed  William  was  pretty  safe,  particularly  as  Wesker  makes  no  attempt  to  correct  Sergei’s  assumptions. 

Continuing  with  Umbrella’s  instructions  Wesker  lured  the  S.T.A.R.S  Alpha  team  the  to   mansion  and  from  here  the  plan  seemed  to  get  back  on  track,  however  two  things  remained  on  his  mind.  That  unpleasant  confrontation  with  Sergei  and  the  fact  that  Lisa  Trevor  had  survived  Umbrella’s  execution  attempt  no  worse  for  wear.  It  became  apparent  that  she  was  simply  put  into  a  death-like  state  for  a  few  days  and  regained  consciousness  later,  her  body  repaired,  which  essentially  further  proved  William  Birkin’s  opinions  about  the  G  virus  and  its  regenerative  capabilities  if  utilised  correctly.  

This  is  where  Wesker  began  to  realise  he  could  perhaps  use  the  virus  on  himself  with  no  adverse  effects  and  that  it  might  give  him  the  edge  he  needed  to  survive  the  mansion  as,  aside  from  his  previous  knowledge  of  the  mansion  from  working  in  the  underground  laboratory  there  was  NOTHING  guaranteeing  Wesker’s  survival  either.  From  here  he  concocted  a  plan  to  set  a Tyrant  on  the  remaining  S.T.A.R.S  members,  record  the  combative  data,  take  out  the  creature  and  pocket  the  specimen  sample  and  hop  over  to  the  Rival  Company  with  honours.  

Shortly  before  the  confrontation  in  the  mansion  basement,  Wesker  infected  himself  with  the  Virus  sample  William  had  given  him,  understanding  the  likelihood  of  his  own  death.  He  found  no  ill  effects  present,  in  fact  he  wasn’t  sure  anything  had  happened  at  all.  When  confronted  by  Jill  and  Chris  he  then  unleashed  the  Tyrant  but  unexpectedly  it  instantly  attacked  him,  impaling  him  through  the  abdomen,  killing  him.  Wesker  was  left  in  a  death-like  state  of  unconsciousness  for  a  short  amount  of  time  while  the  virus  that  had  bonded  with  his  system  activated   and  repaired  his  wounds.  When  Wesker  woke  up,  he  instantly  attempted  to  retrieve  the  Tyrants  combat  data,  only  to  discover  he  had  been  locked  out  of  the  computer  system  curtesy  of  the  Red  Queen  /  Sergei.  Something  that  seemed  to  have  been  pre-planned.  

 Moreover,  the  S.T.A.R.S  members  had  destroyed  the  Tyrant  leaving  him  completely  empty  handed.  Infuriated,  Wesker  began  his  hurried  escape  from  the  mansion  where  he  began  to  realise  he  hadn’t  just  been  saved  from  death,  he  was  now  stronger  and   faster  than  he  was  before. One  of  the  first  signs  that  something  inside  him  had  changed  beside  the  remarkable  regenerative  display  was  Wesker  realised  his  vision  was  near  perfect.  As  he  battled  his  way  out  of  the  mansion  he  realised  his  strength  and  speed  continued  to  increase. 

By  the  time  he  reached  safety  he  came  to  realise  that  he  no  longer  needed  Umbrella’s  data  or  specimens.  He  was  the  specimen.  Moreover,  he  could  use  his  “death”  to  his  advantage.  He  was  able  to  link  up  with  the  Rival  Organisation   and  seemingly  begin  his  take  over  of  it  with  little  resistance.  From  this  point  on  Wesker  continued  to  watch  Umbrella,  preparing  for  any  opportunity  he  could  to  steal  data  and   research  from  them. 

However,  3  months  later  in  September  things  began  to  go  sour  on  William’s  end.  Believing  Wesker  was  dead  and  feeling  the  heat  from  Umbrella,  he  attempted  to  enter  a  deal  with  the  US  government  for  asylum  for  himself  and  his  family  in  exchange  for   the  G  virus.  Wesker  attempted  to  intervene  here  and   retrieve  the  G  virus  and  William  however  to  his  dismay  he  found  Umbrella  was  ahead  of  him  and  got  to  William  before  his  operatives  could.  With  William  confirmed  “dead”,  he  had  to  instead  opt  to  collect  a  sample  of  the  virus. This  was  left  up  to  Ada  Wong. 

In  my  canon  this  is  pretty  much  Wesker’s  one  massive  regret.  He  had  every  intention  of  saving  William  but  Umbrella  was  too  fast  and  honestly  it  feels  to  him  like  all  stuff  he  really  should  have  known.  He  should  have  acted  sooner.  He  should  have  found  a  way  to  reach  out  to  William  right  away.  William’s  death  changed  altered  Wesker’s  plans  and  direction  as  William’s  G  virus  and  brilliance  was  intended  to  play  a  big  role  in  Wesker’s  new  organisation.  However  without  William,  Wesker  lost  interest.  Back  to  focusing  on  Spencer,  he  continued  to  steal  Umbrella’s  data  and  hammer  nails  into  its  coffin  while  amassing  wealth  and  power  along  the  way  for  his  own  means. 

This  all  very  much  follows  canon  from  this  point  on  and  I  don’t  have   any  other  divergences  to  note  up  until  RE5.  The  canon  divergences  here  are  that  Wesker  is  still  very  much  part  of  Spencer’s  Wesker  Project  but  I’ve  changed  this  a  little  because  frankly  I  thought  it  was   last  minute  addition  to  rewrite  an  otherwise  fine  bit  of  canon  info. When  Wesker  confronts  Spencer  he  finds  out  the  details  of  Project  W.  He  was  essentially  artificially  manufactured  as  part  of  this  personal  pet  project  Spencer  had  cooked  up  to  develop  an  advanced  race  of  human  beings  as:  “Spencer  believed  the  world  to  be  corrupted  by  human  decadency  and   longed  for  a  utopian  world  of  gifted  intellectuals.” 

 He  attempted  to  achieve  this  by  selectively  breeding  a  bunch  of  suitable  participants  in  the  project  who  had  high  intelligence  and  desirable  genes,  who's  children  were  then  raised  in  various  fashions.  Many  were  fostered  out  to  specially  selected  “families”,  others  spent  their  time  in  Umbrella  run  orphanages.  All  these  children  were  closely  monitored  by  Umbrella  +  those  involved  in  this  extremely  top  secret,  fucked  up  little  project.

 They  were  groomed  into  fostering  Spencer’s  ideals  in  various  ways,  whether  through  the  teachings  of  the  Umbrella  owned  orphanages  or  through  the  direction  of  the  specially  implanted  foster  families.  However,  of  the  hundreds  of  candidates,  only  13  of  them  showed  promise  for  Spencer’s  vision. Wesker  himself  was  one  of  the  13  other  Wesker’s  who  stayed  on  track  into  adulthood.  However, by  1998  Spencer  found  himself  with  only  two  Wesker  children  who  still  showed  promise,  essentially  resulting in  failure  of  the  experiment,  particularly  as  Spencer’s  health  was  failing  and   he  was  desperate  to  put  his focus  onto  something  that  would  save  his  life.

William’s  G  virus  was  very  strongly  considered  as  the  miracle  drug  that  could  achieve  this,  however  development  was  a  slow  process.   This  is  where  all  the  research  Umbrella  was  doing  begins  to  piece  together  to  create  an  disturbing  picture.  Ultimately  Spencer  intended  to  use the  T  virus  to  wipe  out  most  of  man  kind  and  the  G  virus  to  restore  his  own  life.  (in  the  meantime  working  on  other  projects  to  so),  they  would  then  rule  over  the  planet  as   below  only  Spencer  himself.  Needless  to  say  the  many  time  constrains  due  to  Spencer's  age  /  health  and  the  ultimate  collapse  of  Umbrella   meant   this  insane  dream  could  never  reach  fruition. 

Except  for  the  fact  that  Wesker  had   achieved  super-human  status  via  the  G  virus  sample  he  was  given   and  all  this  had  taken  a  toll  on  his  psyche.  Knowing  he  had  been  an  experiment  his  whole  life  both  repulsed  and  fascinated  him.  At  this  point  Wesker  was  someone  who’s  connection  to  humanity  had  already  disintegrated  and  in  a  twisted  way  learning  all  this  restored  Wesker’s  direction.  Enter  the  “Uroboros  Plan”

A  plan  that  failed  thanks  to  Chris  Redfield  and  Sheva  Alomar.  Wesker  was  weakened,  captured  and  taken  into  custody  as  opposed  to  being  killed.

(From the Mun communication meme!)

(I also know you've mentioned your Wally being more on the ace/aro spectrum, but I am all for pining/one sided stuff. The angst and drama!!)

Mun Meme - Accepting 💖 Your muse is someone I generally/already ship with mine but I want to get to know your portrayal 🕶 I just want to know everything about your muse, but I don’t want to seem clingy/nosy

And that's okay. One sided things are always interesting. For me Wally is a very finicky muse when it does come to shipping and as of now I don't see it happening often due to how he's not someone to look for romance or notice it really. It just kind of happens. And he is that sort of muse who just loves a lot of people platonically uwu But I am defo here for angst and onesided pinning :)

But you're always free to ask questions about wally! Even I am still always slowly developing him and creating lil headcanons or creating a bit of a back story for his main verse or one of the few aus he has going!

🌟💫🕶️ (I don’t feel active enough on the dash to fully keep up with your muses, still in the synthesis and learning phase as far as their interests and personalities so I can’t send nearly as many questions as I would. I like to read about them and I am curious about them. I like seeing the genre of liminal and depressive horror, and the ways you interpret this environment.)

Thank you for sending this in!

Hey don't worry about feeling like you aren't able to "keep up" - the only reason I am quite active throughout the day is because I am a stay at home mom. I have a lot of time throughout the day to post little things here and there. I don't always have a lot of time to write actual replies - because parenting duties! - but little things, yeah. And that's okay, I'm happy to have my mutuals around.

I'm happy you're here and that we're rping together. I love getting to learn about the Duchess and the dendies as a species. All the little lore details are so interesting to me, and I hope it's okay to say this - it reminds me a lot of Douglas Adams and the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, how he'd put in so many little details about different species and things throughout the universe, and the way you present it reminds me of the way it's presented in the books, like it's the guide talking about the dendies. It makes me feel so happy to read. x3

I want to try to write more drabbles and horror things, and hopefully I'll have the energy to do so soon! Things at home have been a bit hectic and have been taking a lot of time and energy from me, so I've been trying to save my energy more for replies and asks and things than writing drabbles. x_x

Anyway, thank you for giving me a chance and for letting me play with the Duchess! I look forward to getting to interact with her more. :3

Wesker's eyes / bioluminescence.

ANON  ASKED:  sheer crack, but important: wesker’s got the cat eyes thing goin’ on, so…does he do the giant pupils thing when he’s excited?

Actually,  its  not  even  entirely  crack  because  it  would  actually  make  perfect  sense  that  Wesker’s  eyes  would  function  similar  to  a  cat,  or  other  predatory  animals  who  possess  similar  vertical  pupils  like  vipers  and  crocodiles.  The  vertical  slits  signify  the  predatory  nature  of  the  owner, allowing  for  more  adapt  vision;  

‘Vertical pupils give highly focused vision and provide accurate distance vision to help the predator know exactly when to strike its prey. These types of predatory animals also usually hunt at night which means they have evolved an extra set of muscles to pull the pupil into a narrow slit shape during the day. This is to prevent the eye from being damaged or overcome by bright light, preserving vision and protecting the eye. Predatory animals with vertical slit pupils, like cats and many snakes, can maintain sharp focus across the horizontal field of view and more accurately judge distance to their prey. ”

So  yeah,  it  would  make  sense  if  Wesker’s  eyes  are  also  capable  of  contracting  and  expanding.  But  I  wouldn’t  say  they’re  exactly  like  a  cats  eyes  outside  of  the  visual  similarity  as  I  don’t  think  Wesker’s  eyes  ever  dilate   enough  to  appear  human  again  from  what  we’ve  observed  of  him / his  eyes  in  canon.  His  eyes  seem  to  be  more  focused  on  keeping  out  light,  I  think ?  I  have  a  lot  of  thoughts  on  this. 

What  Wesker’s  eyes  do  do  that  is  super  unique  is  maintain  a  steady  glow.  They’re  highly  bioluminescent  and   this  appears  to  be  linked  to  his  emotions  in  some  way.  When  experiencing  a  particularly  strong  emotion  his  eyes  tend  to  literally  light  up  with  a  temporary  bright / burning  sensation. Its  less  clear  why  this  is  a  thing,  I  mean  it  looks  extremely  cool  and  more  accurately  terrifying   from  an   in  universe  POV  but  there  def  has  to  be  a  more  “zoological”  reason  they  do  this  beyond  Aesthetic  TM.  

Wesker’s  entire  body  has  been  transformed  on  a  cellular  level  by  the  virus  to  make  him  an  adapt  killing  machine  so  here  are  my  ideas/thoughts  surrounding  whats  with  his  eyes  /  why  they  glow. ━  For  a  start,  its  possible  this  is  a  warning  to  other  predators  to  back  off,   similar  with  how  some  poisonous  animals  are  brightly  coloured  as  a  warning  to  fuck  around  and  find  out.  and  I  do  personally  headcanon  that  most  other  infected  creatures  avoid  Wesker  because  They  Know.

 We  know  infected  creatures  actively  prey  on  each  other,  so  yeah,  anything  with  the  animalistic  intelligence  a  lot  of  the  infected  animals  have  can  determine  that  Wesker  is  too  much  to  handle.  The  exceptions  would  be  creatures  who  are  particularly   programmed  for  certain  tasks  /  externally  controlled   or  extensively  brain  damaged  (like  common  T  infected  zombies) 

It  could  also  have  a  kind  of  “hypnotic  gaze”  effect  per  se,  giving  him  the  ability  to  temporarily  stun / paralyse   prey,  because  again,  from  an  in  universe  POV  Wesker’s  eyes  are  terrifying,  if  you  got  caught  in  his  sight  you’d  be  shook,  and  thats  not  even  with  witnessing  his,  y’know,  crazy  super-human  strength/speed  on  top  of  it.  I  actually  just  think  he  exerts  an  aura  of  danger  /  dread  that  most  members  of  the  “animal  kingdom”  pick  up  pretty  fast  and  if  you  don’t  get  it  on  vibes  alone  his  eyes  serve  as  a  more  explicit  signal. I  know  in  like,  RE0  for  whatever  reason  Wesker  can  shoot  lasers  out  of  his  eyes  which  I  kind  of  interpreted  as  a  kind  of  “physical”  representation  of  this  kind  of  concept. 

Personally,  I  think  most  of  all  the  glow  /  light  up  has  to  do  with  sharping  vision.  You  turn  up  the  brightness  of  your  phone/screen  when  you  want  to  see  more,  its  possible  the  “natural  light”  of  Wesker’s  eyes  has  a  similar  purpose  which  comes  back  to  the  cat  idea–  rather  than  completely  dilating  and  becoming  visibly  huge  to  collect  light  and  heighten  vision,  Wesker’s  eyes  simply  glow  /  exert  their  own  light   to  increase / sharpen  his  vision.  This  is  also  another  explanation  for  why  Wesker’s  eye  glow  seems  to  be  related  to  his  emotions.  Naturally  if  he’s  “focusing”  on  something  his  emotions  will  react  accordingly,  so  therefor  the  glow. 

And  to  add  to  all  that  the  continuous  glow  of  Wesker’s  eyes  may  also  be  a  reason  why  his  pupils  remain  in  the  vertical  slit-like  state  as  oppose  to  ever  dilating  to  an  extreme,  again  having  to  do  with  filtering  light   and  his  eyes  are  literally  producing  their  own  light.  Whatever  the  case  may  be   the  Virus  has  sharpened  Wesker’s  vision  extensively  and  I  mentioned  before  via  my  own  personal  HC  that  the  reason  his  eyes  are  the  one  part  of  his  body  to  actually  show  outward  mutation  was  because  of  his  impaired  eyesight / mild  photophobia/sensitivity  previous  to  infection.  

SO  BASCIALLY  while  I  don’t  personally  HC  his  eyes  to  dilate,  they  do  GLOW  and  thats  my  Logic  for  why  thats  a  thing.   Fully  support  Albert  Kitty-Eyes  Wesker  tho. 

Oh  ALSO  while  I’m  on  this  topic  the  glow  of  Wesker’s  eyes  is  also  directly  connected  to  the  virus  in  his  system.  Suppressing  the  virus  dulls  his  eye  glow  so  it  can  also  be  used  to  measure  Wesker’s  “strength”  in  a  way.

 Theres  an  implication  of  Wesker’s  vision  and  the  virus  being  connected  beyond  just  the  “aesthetic”  of  his  eyes  looking  like  that.  When  Chris  and  Sheva  “poison”  him  in  5  we  get  a  moment  where  we  see  through  Wesker’s  eyes  and  his  vision  is  fuzzing  out  related  to  the  virus  in  his  system  reacting  to  the  suppressant.  I  ALSO  think  its  interesting  to  note  that  based  on  this  he  SEEMS  to  see  in  a  different  like,  ‘colour’  pallet  to  normal  people  as  well.  The  world  through  “Wesker  Vision”  seems  like  it  has  a  yellowish/greenish  tint  to  it.

"Commando Ken."

Back  to  that  thing  I  posted  a  while  ago  about  how  pretty  Wesker  s/was. This  post  is  just  as  boring  because  all  I  want  to  say  is  while  he  was  human  Wesker  had  the  prettiest  baby  blue  eyes  ━  not  that  anyone  ever  got  to  see  them  all  that  much.  I’m  gonna  take  a  minute  to  talk  a  little  about  Wesker’s  appearance  in  my  brain  because  I’m  an  aesthetic  bitch  if  no  one  noticed.

 I  also  made  a  post  where  I  mentioned  how  Wesker  kind  of . . .  Avoids  the  look  of  his  eyes  post  infection  because  really  they’re  just.  Not  his  eyes.  Essentially  he  doesn’t  like  looking  at  himself  without  the  sunglasses  on  because  he  can’t  see  himself,  if  that  makes  sense  to  anyone.  Not  sure  he  really  likes  what  he  sees  either.  

The  virus  may  have  gave  him  insane  power,  but  it  consumed  him.  Made  him  hollow,  yet  filled  with  something  something  he  cant  describe.  Whatever  is  inside  him  isn’t  him  anymore.  He  struggles  with  that. 

Another  appearance  note  in  the  same  vein  that  I’ve  been  meaning  to  write  an  entire  other  post  about  is  Wesker  was  always  very  pale, and  it  was  probably  his  porcelain  skin  contrasting  with  his  usually  dark  under-eyes  that  made  his  blue  eyes  so  striking  as  a  human-  post  infection  his  tint  has  changed  a  bit. 

While  he  was  obviously  lacking  in  sleep  pre-infection,  post  infection  Wesker  looks  essentially  dead  and  a  little  sickly.  He  doesn’t  have  his  human,  rosy  undertone.  He  really  invokes  the  appearance  of  a  nice  looking  corpse.  His  features  have  sunken  a  little  too,  as  if  he's  unwell  because  technically  he  is.  He  has  a  similar  blue-gray  undertone  as  we  see  with  the  Tyrants. 

Don’t  bother  thinking  this  is  a  canon  fact,  its  more  shit  I  made  up  purely  for  the  Aesthetic  TM.  Not  that  its  easy  to  distinguish  anything  based  on  canon  screen  shots  bc  most  always  featured  in  some  kind  of  light  filter,  like  the  blue/green  above  or  the  orange/yellow  of  5.

Wesker's implied suicide mission.

Anyway,  throwing  this  out  there  before  I  try  sleep  for  a  bit  longer  but  I  bring  up  this  a  lot  in  discord  discussions  and  it  is  a  headcanon  of  mine,  can’t  remember  if  I  detailed  it  anywhere  previously  but  in  a  nutshell  I  think  a  lot  of  Wesker’s  end  goals  in  RE5  are  misinterpreted  as  him  wanting  to  rule  over  everyone  else  as  a  god  when  actually  I  don’t  think  Wesker  personally  saw  himself  as  being  part  of  the  “new  world”  he  thought  he  was  destined  and   chosen  to  create.  I  think  when  he  relates  himself  to  god  he  does  so  in  a  creator  type  way   and  not  so  much  a  ruler  type  way. 

IMO  my  real  evidence  for  this  lies  in  Wesker’s  relationship  with  Excella  and   some  of  the  finer  details  of  the  Uroboros  project. Excella  was  in  charge  of  producing  and  administering  a  special  type  of   serum  to  Wesker  to  basically  keep  him  alive/stable.  Without  it  Wesker  supposedly  deteriorates.  Wesker  trusted  Excella  to  such  an  extent  he  gives  her  full  charge  over  it  and  like  all  things  with  Wesker  I  do  believe  this  was  a  carefully  crafted  manipulation  tactic  on  his  behalf.  

I  think  while  Wesker  obviously  liked  Excella  and  considered  her  a  close,  genuine  ally  his  “betrayal”  of  her  isn’t  intended  to  show  any  personal  slight  against  her  on  his  behalf  but  rather  as  an  unfortunate  but  unavoidable  part  of  the  plan  they  both  agreed  to  carry  out.  Rather  I  don’t  think  Wesker  "”intended””  to  betray  her   and  more  he  probably  thought  allowing  her  to  be  infected  with  Uroborus  was  a  mercy  because  if  she  was  “”worthy””  she  would  be  just  fine  and  there  was  no  escaping  it  anyway. 

BUT  ANYWAY,  if  Wesker’s  goal  was  to  live  into  the  “”new  world””  and  rule  over  it,  its  a  little  odd  that  he  didn’t  seem  to  think  he  needed  a  greater  supply  of  the  serum  that  kept  him  functioning.  In  fact  he  only  seems  to  think  he  needs  a  small  supply  of  it.  Certainly  not  enough  to  live  on  for  however  long  he  would  need  to  oversee  “restoration”  of  the  world  and  the  new  “superior”  race  that  would inherit  the  planet.  Literally,  by  the  time  Excella  is  out  of  the  picture  he  doesn’t  seem  to  think  he  needs  it  at  all.  

Furthermore,  when  Chris  and  Sheva  find  Wesker’s  stealth  bomber  they  realise  its  loaded  with  Uroboros  and  Wesker  intends  to  fly  it  around,  get  shot  down  with  the  destruction  of  the  stealth  bomber  unleashing  Uroboros.  Wesker  would  be  the  sole  pilot  and  occupant  of  an  aircraft  that  was  planned  to  be  completely  destroyed  on  its  voyage  with  him  supposedly  in  it. 

I  mean  we  could  say  he  was  arrogant  enough  to  assume  he  would  survive  and  hey  maybe  he  would,  but  that  feels  to  be  quite  the  gamble   and  taking  into  account  that  again  he  doesn’t  seem  to  think  hes  gonna  need  any  of  his  medicine  shit  ever  again. Which  yeah,  even  if  he  survived  the  destruction  of  the  stealth  bomber  it  doesn’t  seem  like  he's  giving  himself  a  long  life  expectancy  or  has  any  plans  to  keep  going.  SO  IMO  I  feel  that's  all  evidence  that  Wesker’s  Uroboros  plan  was  every  bit  as  suicidal  as  it  was  genocidal. 

Which  could  stem  either  from  the  fact  the  virus  in  his  body  had  become  unstable  and  was  wrecking  him  anyway  and  he  just  decided  fuck  it,  or  the  fact  that  being  what  he  was  and  learning  everything  he  did  about  his  life / existence  from  Spencer  had  tipped  him  over  the  edge  of  the  flimsy  metal  stability  he  seemed  to  have,  especially  since  losing  his  humanity  to  the  virus  in  the  first  place.

Misc thoughts.

Yeah  so  here's  some  things  about  Wesker  that  I  meant  to  get  out  there  anyway  but  went  semi  hiatus  instead:

•   He’s  very  private.  Especially  in  regard  to  personal  matters.  Sex  and  Relationships  in  particular.  I  suppose  this  comes  from  a  few  places:  one  being  a  sense  of  proper  social  etiquette  and  another  being  an  intolerance  for  anything  he  believes  to  be  an  expression  of  venerability.  Wesker  was  raised  in  an  upper  class  family  and  his  “parents”  were  actually  very  strict,  which  can  be  attributed  to  a  lot  of  Wesker’s  behaviours  in  many  ways.  In  accordance  with  the  times  Wesker  was  not  raised  to  really  go  into  sex  or  relationships  publicly  outside  of  very  surface  level  stuff  and  maybe,  depending  on  context,  a  cheeky  comment  or  two  but  this  again  is  heavily  context  /  situation  dependent.

Anything  overly  vulgar  or  suggestive  will  earn  his  ire  if  it’s  not  conducted  in  a  time/place  he  deems  appropriate.  Even  if  he  is  actively  in  a  relationship  with  someone  he  wont  accept  this  kind  of  behaviour  outside  of  the  context and situations  he  thinks  are  right  and  simply  being  alone  with  them  isn’t  always  the  right  context  for  him  either.  He’s  very  prickly  toward  advances  that  he  hasn’t  decided  are  appropriate. He’s  very  firm  on  the  time and the  place  particular  for  his  personal  relationships.  If  he  was  a  woman  he’d  come  across  as  an  old  prude,  however  he's  not  so  this  manages  to  have  an  old  fashioned  charm  to  it.  In  fact  most  probably  think  he's  a  proper  gentleman.

Once  again  though  this  is  context/situation  specific  because  at  the  end  of  the  Day  Wesker  has  a  bunch  of  different  faces  he  wears  and  all  are  specially  tailored  to  the  audience  he’s  presenting  them  to.  Personally,  however,  this  rings  true  particularly  as  I  mentioned  the  “real”  Wesker  has  an  aversion  to  anything  he  believes  shows  vulnerability  ━ being  lovey  or  even  suggestive  particularly  with  an  actual  romantic  partner  is  one  of  these  things  if  not  in  the  right  time  /  right  place.

I  should  also  note  almost  all  of  Wesker’s  relationships  are  kept  private,  if  not  entirely  secret.  This  has  been  a  theme  most  of  Wesker’s  life and the  privacy  of  these  relationships  has  always  been  important  not  just  because  of  personal  conduct  but  for  professional  conduct  as  well.  As  another  note  Wesker’s  first  relationship  was  with  a  woman  much  older  than  him  when  he  was  very  young and  it  probably  messed  him  up   in  a  manner  that  he’s  probably  never  recognised   or  will  recognise  for  many  reasons  most  related  to  “times  were  different”  and “gender  norms”   but  we’re  probably  never  really  gonna  go  into  that.  To  sum  it  all  up  Wesker  suffers  heavily  from  toxic  masculinity  in  a very  multi  faceted  way.

•   On  the  privacy  thing and think  this  is  good  to  note  just  in  general  as  I  know  a  lot  of  people  don’t  realise  what  should  be  OOC  knowledge  about  Wesker  and  what  should  be  IC  knowledge  about  Wesker :  His  spooky  crazy  eyes  are  something  he  almost  never  shows  to  anyone.  I  probably  should  make  a  whole  post  about  how  Wesker  doesn’t  entirely  view  his  super-humanity  as  a  good  thing ? Theres  a  strange  little  part  of  him  that  in  many  ways  finds  it  to  be  ruinous  burden  and  he  DOES  lament  his  loss  of  humanity.  This  is  something  that  could  probably  warrant  its  own  post  at  a  later  date  but  I’ll  detail  a  lot  here  anyway.

His  eyes  in  particular  are  the  most  obvious  and  constant  reminder  of  his  loss  of  humanity.  So  as  a  result  there  is  only  a  few  people  who  have  seen  them  PREVIOUS  to  the  canon  divergence  in  my  main  verse  where  Wesker  was  taken  captive.  Prior  to  this  though  those  shades  rarely  left  his  face  in  a  way  that  suggests  not  even  Wesker  liked  to  see  his  eyes  as  they  were  mutated.  Though  he  pivots  between  excessive  pride  and  vanity  in  his  powers  deep  inside  he  does  feel  a  sense  of...  Contempt  for  them  too,  something  he  generally  projects  outwardly  onto  everyone  else  with  sadistic  delight.

The  power  itself,  is  not  so  bad,  most  of  the  time,  the  eyes  however  tend  to  remind  him  of  his  failures  and  mistakes,  the  things  he  believes  got  him  to  the  point  he  is  at  and  as  I’ve  mentioned  BEFORE  Wesker’s  plans  were  never  to  become  a  super  mutant and  try  to  cause  a  mass  human  extinction,  originally.  Wesker’s  original  plans  were  more:  Steal  Umbrella’s  data  and  bail  with  my  best  buddy  to  build  a  way  better  Umbrella  together  and  die  insanely  rich,  insanely  powerful  men,  to  boil  it  down  to  the  bare  essentials,  anyhow.

SO  BASCIALLY,  prior  to  the  canon  divergence  of  my  main  verse  assume  your  character  as  not  ever  seen  Wesker’s  eyes  if  you’re  not  Chris, Claire,  Jill  and  Sheva.  (also  Alexia)  because  Wesker  is  almost  never  caught  without  his  sunglasses like,  no  joke,  he’ll  take  a  shower  and  the  first  thing  he  does  when  he  steps  out  of  there  is  put  them  straight  back  on  kind  of  thing.

Important canon divergence.

I’m  awake  and online  which  means  its  time  to  be  annoying  and make  another Thought  post.

I  kinda  mentioned  this  in  my  big  ol  canon  divergence/canon  adjustment  post  for  the  rest  of  this  blog  but  I  wanna  mention  it  some  more  since  I  woke  up  thinking  about  it. The  one  thing  I  suppose  I  could  say  I  liked about  WTRC’s  Wesker  was  the  way  he  was  shown  as  actually  not  being  the  ultimate  mastermind  behind  everything  going  on  in  the  mansion.  In  fact,  that  portrayal  of  Wesker  had  very  little  idea  /  no  idea  what  was  going  to  happen  to  him.  and  I  think  I  do  understand  and  ultimately  agree  with   where  that  version  of  Wesker  comes  from  relative  to  the  video  game  version  despite  them  ultimately  being  so  different.

Because   I  don’t  believe  Wesker  was  the  big  long  running,  original  mastermind  of  the  RE  games.  That  was  Spencer.  Wesker  was  a  tool  for  him  who  went  way  rogue,  although  I  do  believe  Spencer  tried  to  set  Wesker  up,  which  I’m  about  to  explain,  because  I  actually  take  this  as  canon  to  my  own  portrayal.

RE1,  during  the  mansion  incident  Wesker  was  not  quite  as  in  control  of  all  this  as  it  might  have  seemed.  (which  we  can  kinda  blame  bad  writing  for)

In  the  original  renditions  of the  game,  Wesker  was  just  suppose  to  be  just  a  guy  trying  to  escape  Umbrella  who  were  using  him  as  a  mole.  This  carries  on  into  the  remake  of  the  game,  even  knowing  the  rewrite/expansion  of  Wesker’s  story.  

Basically  the  things  that  stick  out  to  me  is  the  mansion  incident  itself.  Wesker  was  directly  instructed  to  take  the  Alpha  team  to  the  mansion  so  Umbrella  could  test  out  its  B.O.Ws  and  he  was  suppose  to  collect  the  data.  There  was  nothing  in  this  that  guaranteed  Wesker  would  live  through  the  experience  himself.  

So  why  would  Wesker  carry  this  out ?  Well  because  it  was  the  only  option  he  had.  (  you  don’t  deny  orders  from  umbrella )  His  advantage  here  was  his  familiarity  with  the  mansion  and  its  grounds.  Wesker  had  a  suspicion  Umbrella  was  sending  him  to  his  death  along  with  the  S.T.A.R.S  team  but  his  only  option  was  to  try  make  this  work  in  his  favour,  using  said  familiarity  to  aid  with  his  own  survival.

Umbrella  was  tying  up  its  loose  ends and  Wesker  was  considered  amongst  these  loose  ends. This is  based  entirely  on  some  observations  of  canon  stuff  and  implications  made  by  canon.

We  could  definitely  say  Sergei  intended  to  kill  Wesker  before  this  went  down  by  ambushing  and  attacking  him  in  the  underground  passage  way.  Wesker  was  lucky  and  escaped  which  is  another  canon  even  that  supports  this  whole  theory.

Personally, this  makes  the  most  sense  to  me  and  I’m  portraying  this  as  Umbrella  wanting  to  get  rid  of  Wesker  as  a  loose  end  and  Spencer  taking  the  opportunity  to  create  a  scenario  /  environment  in  which  Wesker  would  be   “forced”  to  infect  himself  in  order  to  find  out  if  the  “‘crème’  of  his  crop”  really  did  have  the  right  stuff.  Wesker  at  this  point  being  the  only  remaining  /  viable  Wesker  child  who  had  so  far  survived  everything  else.

FURTHER  I  don’t  portray  it  as  Wesker  KNEW  what  the  virus  would  do  to  him.  CANON  makes  this  even  weirder  /  harder  to  understand  because  not  only  was  there  NO  REASON  for  Wesker  to  think  this  random  unknown  virus  would  make  him  super  human  but  there  was  just  no  reason  for  Wesker  to  TRUST  it  to  do  such  a  thing  in  the  first  place.  Unless  canon  just  wanted  us  to  believe  he  trusted  William  Birkin  to  such  an  insane  extent  and  tbh,  fair,  because  thats  very  homosexual,  I  see  you  capcom  BUT  NO. I  like  to  make  a  little  more  sense  of  it  than  that,  for  both  parties  while  keeping  the  Gay TM  of  course.

So  instead  we’ve  got  it  set  up  in  my  AU  as  William  giving  Wesker  a  sample  of  the  G virus  which  is  why  Wesker  would  trust  what  William  had  given  him.  Keeping  in  mind  G  was  not  being  researched  as  a  bioweapon  but  rather  as  a  medical  miracle  drug  and  maybe  if  William  said  something  about  it  it  was  likely  true,  given  his  long  running  research  into  it.  Its  implied  that  Spencer  had  a  hand  in  pushing  William  to  give  Wesker  the  G  sample  but  as  for  how  much  William  knew  or  was  involved  is  not  for  me  to  really  say  but  it  does  add  extra  spice  to  the  situation.  Keeping  in  mind,  G  didn’t  have  very  many,  if  any,  trails  at  this  point  and  a  lot  of  the  information  on  G  and  its  capabilities  were  derived  from  Lisa  Trevor  or  theory  based.

So  Wesker  gets  to  the  mansion  and  most  of  the  team  dies  fast.  He  starts  to  realise  its  looking  grim  for  him  too  so  he  takes  a  gamble  and injects  the  virus  sample  William  gave  him,  not  believing  it  to  make  him  “”super  human””  as  such  but  believing  it  to  increase  his  stamina  and  regenerative  capabilities  enough  to  possibly  face  and  triumph  over  the  Tyrant  so  he  could  collect  all  the  data  and escape  with  it.  Keeping  in  mind  the  plan  was  to  have  the  Tyrant  fight  Jill,  Chris,  Rebecca  and  Barry  who  all  managed  to  survive  as  Wesker  did and  then  step  in  +   take  care  of  whoever/whatever  was  left  standing  (majorly  assuming  this  would  be  the  Tyrant  itself).  

Wesker  already  knew  Umbrella  was  not  somewhere  he  could  return  to  so  he  absolutely  HAD  to  leave,  the  confrontation  with Sergei  was  proof  of  this.  Further,  there  is  a  HEAVY  implication  in  the  original  that  the  Tyrant  attacked  Wesker  first  for  a  reason.  The  popular  fan  theory  was  that  it  attacked  Wesker  first  because  it  recognised  him  from  Akrley,  however  I  don’t  think  that  entirely  adds  up.  For  my  canon  Wesker  did  not  intend  for  the  Tyrant  to  attack  him  first,  following  the  original  canon  he  was  setting  it  on  Jill,  Chris, Barry and  Rebecca.  What  caused  the  tyrant  to  attack  him  was  that  it  was  “programmed”  to  do  so  by  Umbrella. Wesker  was  its  main  target.  Hence  his  shock  when  it  instantly  singled  him  out  despite  the  odds.

Catching  him  off  guard  it  succeeds  in  killing  him.  Lucky  for  Wesker  he  had  infected  himself  previous  to  the  confrontation  in  the  basement  and  G  did  far  more  for  him  than  he  could  ever  have  imagined.  In  a  similar  way  to  Lisa  Tevoer,  Wesker  is  revived  from  his  death-like  state,  with  the  Virus  now  changing  and  enhancing  him  in  every  way.   Wesker  then  finds  out  he  had  been  locked  out  of  Umbrella’s  computer/archives  for  around  24  hours,  completely  confirming  Umbrella’s  betrayal.  Initially  all  this  infuriates  him  but  he  realises  being  able  to  portray  himself  as  dead  can  actually  work  in  his  favour.

The  super  humanity  even  more  so.  So  again  in  my  canon  there  wasn’t  any  way  for  Wesker  to  foresee  exactly  what  the  virus  would  do  to  him  and  moreover  Spencer  had  a  big  part  in  orchestrating  Wesker’s  “”death””.  Its  also  likely  Spencer  didn’t  really  expect  Wesker  to  live  but  was  of  course  thoroughly  delighted  when  reports  from  spies  within  the  rival  company  claim   that  Wesker  was  in  fact  alive  and  very  well.

Furthermore,  consider  what  Ada  had  to  say  about  Wesker  in  the  the  Umbrella  Chronicles  as  proof  of  this  being  a  workable  alternative  canon: 

“I survived  the  fate  of  Raccon  city  thanks  to  Wesker’s  warning.  Of  course  I  knew  the  only  reason  my  life  was  spared  was  because  I  had  the  G  Virus  Tissue  fragment,  but  I  would  settle  things  in  time.  We  were  both  used  to  being  back  stabbed  and  manipulated, I  had  a feeling  our  partnership  would  last  a  little  while  longer.”

So,  yeah.  Thats  my  official  canon  divergence  on  the  mansion  incident  surrounding  Wesker.  This  I  will  be  keeping  in  place  regardless  to  whether  or  not  I’m  using  my  other  canon  divergence  in  Wesker  being  infected  with  G  as  my  theory  was  prior  to  re5  or  I’m  just  going  with  the  “surprise!  it  was  a  whole  different  virus” (prototype)  because  it  works  either  way.

Voice and mannerisms.

I'm  REPOSTING  about  this  due  to  being  displeased  with  Wesker's  new  VA:  while  Wesker  is  100%  American  ( I  HEADCANON )  he  spent  a  fair  proportion  of  his  late  childhood  probably  from  12  up  until  he  was  about  16  in  Britain  on  and  off.  This  was HIGHLY  intentional  -references  to  Spencer- 

So no, Wesker is in no way  British.  Although  its  common  for  people  to  assume  he  is  based  on  his  ‘accent’  and  the  fact  he  also  tends  to  use  very  British  /  English  sayings  and  phrases,  furthering  the  illusion  /  confusion  as  to  where  he  is  actually  from.  Wesker’s  “accent” itself  is actually very "transatlantic”  which  was  an  accent  popular  for  the  upper  class  of  America  in  the  older  days  which  is  cited  as  a  hybrid  between  American  and  British  vernaculars. 

This  is  something  Wesker  picked  up  “naturally”  as  he  is  American  by  origin  but   due  to  his  environment  and being  surrounded  by  upper-class  brits, equally  in  some of his  formative  years,  it  just  kinda  happened, not  to  mention  Wesker's  childhood  took  place  through  the  60s  and  70s  when  this was  still  common  in  upper  society  and  was  in  fact  still  a  thing  through  the  80s  and  90s.  Ultimately,  perfect  etiquette  and  “proper”  speech  was  highly  expected  of  him  so  Wesker’s  not  exactly  trying  to  sound  like  a  snotty  pompous  fuck,  he  just  is  one.  He  was  raised  this  way. 

Don’t  worry  though,  you  can  def  bring  out  the  vulgar,  slang  happy  American  in  him.  He  tends  to  alternate  depending  on  his  mood  /  environment.  This  is  more  common  when  he's  alone  /  or  just  not  giving  a  single  fuck  about  who  he's  with  /  talking  to.  It usually  happens  when  he's  not  planning  to  entertain  an  ongoing  relationship  with  his  company. 

S.T.A.R.S  being  a much  less  formal  environment  got  a  SLIGHTLY  less  “proper”  version  of  Wesker.  Slightly.   While  he  def  maintained  a  strong  sense  of  professionality  this  was  the  time  you  were  most  likely  to  hear  Wesker  drop  a  curse  in  casual  convo.  (  though  it  probably  wasn’t  even  noticed   given  the  speech  on  the  REST  of  the  usually  VERY  “unrefined”  S.T.A.R.S  members. ) 

Also  despite  typically  using  “proper  English”  he's  a  lot  less  formal  and  polite  than  some people  think  because TBH  Wesker  has  a  limited  circle  of  people  he  respects.  If  you  don't  mean  anything  to  him  /  cant  do  anything  for  him,  and  he  just  feels  the  need  to  be  an  ass  for  either  of  these  reasons,  he’s  quite   rude  and  short.  Actual  vulgarity  is  less  common  but  man  is  it  in  him  and can  JUMP  out  depending  on  whether  or  not  he's  mad / frustrated. 

TYPICALLY  I  imagine  its  pretty  fucking  “scary”  experiencing   breaks  or  slips   in  Wesker’s  snobbish,  proper  vernacular  since  yes,  the  demonic  vibes  are  real  and  if Wesker  starts  getting  snappy  and  crass  it  means  you’re  in  danger,  the  mask  is  slipping,  so run !   As  I  mentioned  on  Wesker's  page, ��this  is  the  elite  Wesker  voice  to  me.

Wesker's theories.

Hello  RE  fandom  friends,  I  have  some  Whiskers  thoughts  in  the  brain  I  want  to  post  about.  I'm  sure  I've  posted  about  these  things  in  depth  before  BUT  I'm  too  lazy  to  go  digging  up  more  of  my  big  ol  posts  so  I'm  just  gonna  roll  with  the  autism  and  ramble  in  a  new  post  here:  First  up,  Wesker  is  the  man  who  realized  host  mutations  have  something  to  do  with  the  hosts  personality.  He  also  suffers  some  complex  form  of  survivors  guilt  given  he's  one  of  the  few  infected  that  actually  survived  and  retained  some  form  of  humanity,  even  if  only  in  appearance.

But  this  is  where  it  gets  complicated.  Because  the  reason  Wesker  didn't  mutate  into  a  terrible  monster  right  off  the  bat  was  because,  unknown  to  him  at  the  time,  he  was  part  of  the  1%  of  the  population  that  was  genetically  compatible  with  the  Progenitor  virus.  So  you  might  think  this  stokes  Wesker's  ego  and  inflates  his  head  but  not  exactly. In  fact,  its  something  that  Wesker  has  struggled  with,  because  such  a  big  part  of  Wesker  wouldn't  consider  himself  worthy  and  he  thought  personally  there  was  others  who  were  (  Like  William  )  yet  this  didn't  work  out  in  practice  and  it  has  remained  a  frustrating  and  haunting  riddle  to  him. 

On  top  of  that  Wesker  is  aware  he's  lost  himself  to  the  virus.  This  was  something  he  had  to  contend  with  even  before  the  virus  started  destroying  his  body. 

He  describes  himself  as  a  passenger  in  his  own  skin  much  of  the  time,  and  he  never  truly  feels  like  he  has  the  wheel  in  a  sense.  This  being  said,  it  brings  me  to  the  other  thing  regarding  the  virus  and  something  Wesker  seemed  to  work  out  as  well:  If  the  hosts  will  is  STRONG  enough  they  can  hold  off  and  even  revert  mutations.  We  saw  this  with  Manuela,  Steve,  Leon,  Ashley,  Alexia  to  an  extent,  and  yes,  I  believe  Wesker  himself.

This  was  true  for  Wesker  and  may  be  the  reason  the  virus  started  poisoning  and  killing  him.  From  the  experience  of  seeing  other  infected  people  transforming  into  hideous  monsters,  Wesker  decided  he  would  never  let  that  happen  to  him  so  eventually  the  virus  in  Wesker's  body  hit  a  "celling"  of  sorts  that  Wesker  had  built  and  it  began  to  act  out,  poisoning  him  as  a  result.

Therefore  Wesker  eventually  had  to  rely  on  a  special  serum  to  suppress  the  virus.  The  correct  dosage  of  this  was  imperative  as  too  much  could  kill  the  virus,  thus  killing  Wesker  too,  while  too  little  allowed  the  virus  to  continue  poisoning  him  anyway.

Once  again  I've  spoke  in  depth  about  all  this  in  other  posts  as  well  as  detailed  relevant  lore  tidbits  and  possible  theories  to  explain  for  all  the  stuff  that  the  game  never  really  explained  but  I'm  currently  going  with  this  particular  theory  as  canon  for  me  in  why  the  virus  was  killing  Wesker  after  according  him  so  much  power  and  superiority  as  it  just  felt  weird  that  suddenly  it  was  working  against  him  and  I'm  sure  the  game  legit  never  bothered  explaining  why.

So,  essentially  for  me  there's  a  heavy  suggestion  the  virus  is  its  own  being,  in  a  way,  having  its  own  type  of  consciousness,  this  was  heavily  suggested  with  Alexia  and  everything  with  William  vs  the  G  virus  backs  it  up.  Now  we  also  have  everything  with  Saddler  in  the  RE4  remake  also  supporting  this  because  KEEP  IN  MIND  TWO  THINGS:  All  the  virus  we  saw  up  until  re7  were  variants  of  the  progenitor  and  the  original  games  HEAVILY  suggested  the  Progenitor  had  some  type  of  relationship  to  the  Plaga.

As  a  result,  Wesker's  constant  mental  resistance  against  the  virus  was  pissing  it  off  and  it  was  making  him  sick  as  a  result  but  to  the  bitter  end  Wesker  refused  to  give  in  to  it.

There's  no  telling  what  would  have  happened  if  he  did  and  its  possible  that  "giving  in"  could  have  been  the  solution  to  all  Wesker's  problems  but  his  only  remaining  human  attribute,  his  sense  of  fear  of  the  unknown  and  his  apprehension  and  vanity  over  the  idea  of  becoming  an  unsightly  monstrous  mass,  was  stronger  than  any  type  of  megalomania  the  virus  might  have  unlocked  in  Wesker.  And  I  think  its  so  funny  that  a  big  part  of  Wesker's  fear  really  was  "ew,  I  don't  wanna  be  ugly"  LMAO.

Anyway  I  think  its  funny  that  Wesker  might  have  been  able  to  mutate  and  if  he  bother  actually  letting  the  virus  do  as  it  wanted  he  might  have  even  been  able  to  change  himself  back  in  a  similar  way  to  Alexia  was  able  to  do  in  the  start  but  yeah.   Wesker  was  afraid  of  not  being  able  to  go  back  and  TO  BE  FAIR  TO  HIM,  as  far  as  my  canon  goes,  Wesker  never  WANTED  to  become  what  he  became,  or  rather  never  knew  that  would  happen  and  he  spent  A  LOT  of  time  trying  to  study  himself  and  other  infecteds  similar  to  himself  to  understand  his  affliction  more  but  that  proved  difficult  given  they  all  had  a  tendency  to  get  murked  before  he  could  make  any  use  of  any  of  them.  

All  he  had  in  the  end  was  the  Ndipaya's  myths  of  the  ancient  god-kings  (  Which  Wesker  was  a  modern  form  of  )  but  he  failed  to  find  these  overly  helpful  given  they  were  legends  from  an  old  time  and  may  not  have  even  been  entirely  accurate  accounts  and,  of  course,  Spencer's  insane  plans  and  we  know  how  all  that  ended  up.

Wesker analysis overview.

No  rping,  just  neurodivergent  info  dumps.  This  is  from  a  response  i  made  explaining  my  thoughts  on  wesker  and  motivations  he  has  +  why  that  i  am  sharing  publicly  as  i  think  its  very  important  to  my  blog  and  portrayal.  Going  warn  upfront  that the  n*zi  party  is  mentioned.  Just  briefly  touching  on  something  capcom  said.

 I  also  want  to  make  it  very  clear  that  i  do  not  support  wesker’s  views,  I  don’t  think  its  cool  to  kill  a  vast  majority  of  the  population  because  things  suck  or  anything  like  that,  lmao   and  i  don’t  believe  in  the  eco-fascistic  ways  or  the  eco/bio  terrorism  he  employs  to  achieve  and  enforce  his  goals  against  all  human  kind  ━  i  do  not  condone  it,  like  obviously,  however  i  don’t  believe  wesker  believes  in  what  spencer  did  in  the  exact  way  he  did  and  so  this  post  is  merely  an  explanation  of  why  wesker’s  like  that  deluxe  edition. Do  not  take  this  post  as  excusing  his  actions,  sympathizing  with  him  or  whatever,  its  only  an  explanation  for  why  and  a  reference  for  how  that  works  on  this  blog  /  my  portrayal. Once  again  please  continue  reading   with  caution  because  as  mentioned  this  post  may  briefly  touch  on  some  sensitive  stuff  and  also  touches  on  some  popular  discourse  within  the  fandom.

So,  anyway  wesker's  uroboros  bullshit  is  “interesting”  for  a  lack  of  a  better  term  in  the  sense  that  i'm  not  sure  he  was  doing  it  for  the  same  reason  someone  like  spencer  was.  I  think  something  to  note  was  how  spencer  was  just  ... Extremely  classist  and  racist.  He  hated  most  people  because  he  viewed  them  as  inferior  to  himself,  due  to  being  raised  with  extreme  wealth  and  privilege.  He  had  access  to  education  and  comfort  that  others  did  not,  especially  in  his  time,  but  instead  of  viewing  this  as  a  privilege  granted  to  him  by  money  he  decided  to  view  this  as  himself  being  inherently  superior  to  everyone  else  because  why  take  accountability  for  your  privilege  if  it  means  acknowledging  you’re  not  better  than  everyone  else,  you  just  have  money.  He  was  in  an  age  where  this  kind  of  backward,  hateful  thinking  was  the  norm. Because  racists  and  rich  people  have  been  like  that  always,  basically.  

In  a  similar  way  to  excella,  he  thought  himself  to  be  superior  to  others  out  of  pure  arrogance  and  with  spencer  particularly  some  very  uncomfortably  real  world  prejudice.  Capcom  tried  to  sort  of  “hide”  a  lot  for  the  sake  of  game  sales  but  initially,  people  like  spencer  were  supposed  to  represent  real  life  backward  ass  eugenic  ideals.  

Spencer’s  own  shit  draws  from  the  same  places  as  the  kind  of  shit  hitl*r  and  the  n*zi  party  were  on. It's  admittedly  a  direct  reference  according  to  capcom;  the  nonsense  of  the  ary*n  race  and   "the  superior  men”  is  all  there  particularly  emphasised  from  spencer’s  ideals.  Capcom  have  said  this  is  what  they  were  going  for;  they’ve  even  gone  on  to  say  that  albert  himself  looks  the  way  he  does  because  of  this  concept  of  the  “superior  man”  being  a  tall,  blond  hair,  blue  eyed,  pale  skinned  individual  that  spencer  adhered  to.  Though  capcom  did  dial  these  things  back  a  bit  references  and allegories  for  these  things  are  still  clear  within  the  canon.

So  yes.  This  is  exactly  what  spencer  was  going  for.  Wesker’s  appearance  is  supposed  to  allude  to  what  spencer  actually  represents  and  what  his  intentions / goals  really  were.  So  while  spencer  may  have  fully  planned  and  intended  for  wesker  to  look  like  that  ( and  possibly  for  all  the  wesker  children  to  look  like  that )  

wesker’s  looks  weren't  capcom  condoning  spencer’s  beliefs,  just  trying  to  clue  us  into  the  inspo  behind  his  bullshit.  This  is  also  shown  in  alex  wesker.  It's  not  a  coincidence  that  the  only  wesker  children  we  know  of  and  get  to  see  are  two  tall,  white,  blond  people  with  blue  eyes.  Its  also  not  a  coincidence  that  the  “straight”  cis  man  was  the  apex  of  the  whole  fucked  up  project  via  capcom’s  attempt  to  clue  us  into  what  spencer  represented.  You  can  find  implications  of  this  same  thing  in  characters  like  alfred  and  alexia  ashford,  and  again  it  is  not  a  coincidence  that  all  four  of  these  characters  were  literally  created by  umbrella  heads.  Alfred  and  alexia  are  literal  test  tube  babies  and  albert  and  alex  were  the  fruits  of  some  supremely  fucked  up  selective  breeding  program.

As  a  result  umbrella,  spencer  and  anyone  associated  with  that  circle  fetishized  wesker  to  an  extreme  because  of  what  he  represented  to  them--- but  another  thing  to  keep  in  mind  is  wesker  isn’t  spencer  and  the  way  in  which  spencer  actually  failed  is  that  he  didn’t  really  make  a  copy  of  himself  who,  despite  his  best  efforts,  believed  all  the  same  messed  up  shit  he  did, or  at  least  not  in  the  same  way.

This  is  how  i  personally  come  at  things  in  my  own  take  of  Wesker,  anyway,  so  though  it  is  almost  impossible  for  wesker  to  not  share  some  of  spencer’s  ideas  since  they  were  literally  programmed  into  him  from  birth  and  wesker  didn’t  reject  spencer’s  “new  world”  entirely,  he  tried  to  make  it  make  sense  because,  in  his  mind,  stupid  shit  like  being  white  or  rich,  for  example,  does  not  make  you  superior  to  any  other  human  being.  Wesker  understands  that.  

He  does  not  champion  for  genocide  toward  a  select  group  of  humans  because  of  some  shallow  prejudice.  Nor  did  he  intend  to  specifically,  personally  tailor  people  to  look,  think  and  act  any  certain  way  that  he  deemed  “superior.”  so  no,  wesker   himself  does  not  hold  the  same  views  as  spencer  in  the  racist,  classist,  messed  up  way,  per  se.

I  think  it's  interesting  how  he  talks  about  alexia  in  his  report   and  his  own  anger  and annoyance  he  felt  toward  the  higher  ups  of  umbrella  and   the  other  researchers  for  putting  her  on  a  pedestal  just  because  of  her  family  name  +  wealth.  She  hadn’t  done  jack  shit  for  umbrella  to  be  applauded  the  way  she  was  (unlike  william  birkin)  but  the  researchers  couldn’t  get  over  her  because  she  was  from  a  well  known,  aristocratic  family  that  had  founded  the  company.  You  could  even  argue  from  things  in  wesker’s  report  2  that  Wesker’s  disillusionment  with  umbrella  and  his  ever  growing  contempt  for  it  and its  shit  started  as  far  back  as  his  time  in  the  training  school  which  is something  I  personally  believe,  particularly  due  to  his  friendship  with  William  Birkin,  who  is  implied  to  not  really  fit  the  “umbrella  mold”  outside  of  his  pure  genius  intellect.  

Further,  wesker  is  noted  as  one  of  the  few  among  the  umbrella  staff  who  found  spencer’s  desire  for  a  virus  to  infect  all  organic  matter  and  the  location  of  the  akrley  lab  as  somewhere  that  could  rapidly  spread  infection  due  to  the  high  volume  of  organic  matter  the  virus  would  infect,  insane  and  dangerous.  

This  is  literally  where  Wesker’s  discomfort  and  suspicions  toward  Spencer  personally  began.  He  also  talks  in  his  little  note  about  uroboros  being  beautiful  because  it  doesn’t  discriminate  based  on  shallow  human  prejudice. (  Although  we  could  say  this  is  true  of  all  viruses,  which  is  a  thing  he  romanticizes  about  them  because  he  was  born  from  some  really  backwards  believes  that  he,  himself,  does  not  follow  and  as  a  biologist  he  finds  to  be  quite  stupid  and shallow.  But  do  keep  in  mind  re  world  science  and real  world  science is  not  the  same. )

Which  we  see  with  Excella.  Excella  believed  she  was  worthy  because  she  was  beautiful,  rich  and powerful.  But  none  of  those  things  stopped  her  from  mutating  into  a  horrible  monster.  Urobous  wouldn’t  choose  people  based  on  how  pretty,  how  rich  they  were.   

 How  white, or  what  their  sexuality,  gender  or  religious  faith  was  ━  it  would  simply  choose  people  it  deemed  right  by  unique / random  genetic  make  up  and  this  could  be  anyone  of  any  gender,  any  faith,  any  sexuality,  any  race.  In  fact  it  is  noted  in  canon  that  the  only  other  humans  who  had  achieved  “god hood”  in  the  same  way  wesker  had  were  black  africans.  Thats  a  pretty  sexy  fuck  you  to  a  white  supremacist like  spencer.

Which  is  the  major  difference  between  wesker  and spencer.  Wesker's  hatred  of  humanity  doesn’t  come  from  a  sense  of  twisted  privilege  and  prejudice,  and  its  not  directed  specifically  toward  select  individuals,  even  though  he  was  basically  born  from  this,  due  to  being  one  of  spencer’s  designer  babies.  Wesker  didn’t  grow  up  to  believe  skin  colour  or  wealth  made  you  inherently  better  or  smarter.  He  doesn’t  think  there  are  people  in  the  world  that  are  superior  to  others  because  of  shallow  bias  such  as  those.  With  wesker  it  comes  from  a  really  weird  sense  of  altruism  cobbled  together  with  extreme,  contradictory  pessimism  from  everything  he’s  experienced.  

Again  not  to  excuse  him  or  say  he's  a  good  person  bc  ultimately  he’s  very  twisted,  selfish  and delusional  and hes  not  coming  back  from  that.  If  Wesker  ever  had  a  slim  chance  of  being  considered  even  “morally  ambiguous”  like  someone  like  ada  it  was  lost  when  he  betrayed  s.t.a.r.s  and  lost  his  humanity.

However,  wesker  has  seen  up  close  and  personal  the  absolute  horror  humans  are  capable  of  inflicting  on  themselves  and  others  and for  the  fucking  stupidest  reasons.  He  was  essentially  forced  to  participate  in  human  experimentation  as  a  child  (16-17)  to  the  ends  of  creating  horrific  b.o.w’s  that  would  presumably  be  used  by  the  world's  militaries  to  wipe  each  other  out.  In  the  name  of  human  pride,  greed and  prejudice.  He  believes  that  this  is  pretty  much  all  humans  have  really  done  for  hundreds  of  years.  Kill  each  other,  steal  from  each  other,  and  fuck  things  up  for  the  planet  itself  and  every  other  creature  that  lives  on  it.  He’s  come  to  view  humans  as  flawed,  dangerous  creatures  that  if  left  unchecked  will  destroy  the  world.  

However  again,  he's  not  trying  to  cull  or  cultivate  any  certain  group  of  people  because  of  a  fucked  up,  racist  sense  of  aesthetic,  unlike  Spencer  and   I  cannot  stress   this  enough  because  this  is  where  the  fandom  fucks  up  for  me.

Furthermore,  !  Of  course,  Wesker  has  been  given  power  beyond  comprehension.  He  calls  himself  a  god  to  great  mockery  but  if  we’re  being  honest,  what  else  does  he  have  to  compare  himself  to ?  There  is  nothing  like  wesker  out  there,  particularly  not   anything  known  about  at  height  of  his  activity  and  the  time  of  his  death.  Moreover,  i  should  mention   again  that  the  only  “beings”  like  wesker  who  ever  existed  where  the  “evolved”  african  “god  kings”  of  ndipaya  mythology.  

 Again  this  to  me  further  illustrates  the  fact  that  wesker  himself  doesn’t  exactly  adhere  to  white  s*premist  ideals  and his  entire  existence  is  more  a  dunk  on  people  like  spencer  who  did,  as  wesker,  a  white  man  obtaining  this  status  through  the  stairway  of  the  sun,  was  so  far  an  anomaly.  Meanwhile  we’re  aware  it  wasn’t  undocumented  that  black  africans  were  able  to  achieve  god  status  through  progenitor  infection  as  per  ndipaya  mythos,  wesker  is  the  only  white  person  who  did  “”naturally”,  despite  spencer  having  lined  up  hundreds  of  specially  bred  and  selected  candidates  who  carried  his  racist  ass  aesthetic.  

I  think  this  goes  to  show  wesker’s  intentions  with  uroborus   ( a  virus  engineered  directly  from  the  progenitor )  was  not  to  cleanse  the  world  of  any  select  race  or  races,  but  to  instead  wipe  out  the  vast  majority  and   leave  only  the  “most  choice  humans”  ( his  quote )  to  evolve  and inherit  the  earth.  These  humans  would  not  just  be  white  or  share  his  “”personal  dna”” ( idk  what  ppl  are  talking  about  when  they  say  urobous  was  somehow  only  safe  for  wesker’s  dna .... Its literally  got  nothing  to  do  with  wesker’s  dna.  It  was  jill’s  antibodies  from  her  infection  with  t  that  was  used  to  engineer  it,  but  its  not  connected  to  her  dna  specifically  either.  Thats  not  how  viruses  work. ) Anyway,  urobous  was  about  individuals,  not  races.  But  I  digress,  Weskers  powers  are  truly  extraordinary. There's  no  way  anyone  gets  power  like  what  wesker  got  and  doesn’t  crack  in  some  way.   If  anything  he  was  holding  it  together  pretty  well  until  his  confrontation  with  spencer  and  his  discovery  of  the  wesker  project  which  is  what  really  sent  him  “over  the  edge”  in  my  opinion.

None  the  less  wesker  doesn’t  believe  he's  doing  something  evil.

"Every  day,  humans  come  one  step  closer  to  self-destruction.  I'm  not  destroying  the  world, i'm  saving  it!"  "war  and  pestilence  wherever  you  go!  Nothing  but  loathsome  humans!"

Some  of  the  stuff  he  says  in  re5  when  you  fight  him  shows  that  Wesker  thinks  he's  ultimately  doing  the  right  thing  here.  Again,  he's  given  an  insane  power,  him  alone,  of  course  he  feels  as  if  he  should  play  god  with  it  because  everything  up  till  now  has  shown  him  humans  are  a  danger  to  themselves  and everything  else,  plus  he  was  groomed  by  spencer  and  umbrella  to  believe  in  things  like  might  makes  right  and  survival  of  the  fittest.  He  further  doesn’t  think  of  himself  as  god  as  a  ruler,  but  as  a  creator.

In  wesker’s  head  he  was  chosen  to  be  the  messiah,  he  is  the  hand  of  god  who  judges  the  corrupt  humans  and  sorts  the  good  from  the  bad  or  rather  “the  worthless  from  the  worthy”;  only  he  has  the  power  to  accomplish  this  and   this  is  how  he  makes  sense  of  that  power and  why  he  alone  has  it,  and  with  uroborus  he  has  the  tool  to  strip  everything  back  to  its  basics  and  begin  anew;   "the  human  race  requires  judgment!"  “the  din  of  six  billion  screams  will  close  the  book  on  humanity's  ignoble  past.”  the  only  humans  that  would   be  left  alive  by  uroborus  would  be  those  randoms  who  were  genetically  compatible  with  uroborus  and  therefore  “better”  and  again  uroborus  wouldn’t  discriminate  on  race,  gender,  sexuality,  class  or  faith  which  is  what  we’re  told  via  canon.

So  yeah,  that  is  why  the  mass  human  extinction  event  lived  in  wesker’s  head  and  why  he  went  that  way.  and  while  he's wrong  in  his  intentions,  his  motivations  don’t  exactly  come  from  the  same  place  as  someone  like  spencer's  apparently  did,  however,  its  not  wrong  to  acknowledge  and  criticise  wesker’s  character  as  a  type  of  allegory  for  white  s*premacy  even  if  the  character  himself  may  not  have  believed  in  this  in  that  particular  way  and  thats  not  literally  what  the  text  of  the  story  is  displaying.  Keeping  in  mind  wesker  believed  the  human  race   as  a  whole  was  unworthy and  he  planned  to  allow  the  virus  to  choose  which  individuals  had  the  correct  genetic  makeup  to  ‘evolve’  leaving  the  humanity  he  grew  to  hate  behind.

My  biggest  criticism  for  the  re  series  is  that  in  the  re  universe  it  has  been  established  there  is  humans  who  are  “”superior””  to  others,  or  at  least  its  very  easy  to  view  it  this  way,  which  is  what  muddies  the  water  when  it  comes  to  discourse  about  this.  While  the  story  with  wesker  serves  to  show  that  these  “superior”  humans  are  not  necessarily  “ary*n”  and this  doesn’t  seem  to  have  been  wesker’s  belief,  the  science  in  the  resident  evil  world  is  not  real  and  doesn’t  reflect  real  biology. 

However,  that  also  being  said  the  re  universe  has  already  demonstrated  with  Wesker  and  other  characters  who  were  able  to  “”evolve””  beyond  humanity,  that  having  genes  compatible  with  the  virus  or  parasite  or  what  have  you  was  pure  luck  and  isn’t  all  its  cracked  up  to  be.  There  is  almost  no  b.o.w  characters,  for  all  their  gifted  “”biological  superiority””  who  survive  to  live  normal  lives. Their  minds  and  bodies  are  eventually  destroyed  by  the  virus/parasite/whatever.  Even  though  wesker  was  the  closest  thing  the  re  series  ever  had  to  reaching  “”god hood””  aside  from  mother  marinda,  who  was  infected  with  a  whole  different  thing,  the  virus  was  still  destroying  him.  I  intended  to  write  a  post  about  why  i  believed  this  was  the  case ,  outside  of  y’know,  the  innate  horror  in  ones  body  being  hijacked  and  co-opted  by  an  invading  force  even  if  that  force  just  happened  to  give  you  neat  super  powers  for  a  short  time,  i  just  haven't  got  to  it  just  yet. ( update:  i  finally  did  it,  here  it  is )

wesker  is  an  unhinged  bioterrorist  and shameless  misanthrope  to  an  extreme,  but  no   he’s  actually  not  a  white  s*premacist,  racist,  or  neo  n*zi   in  my  opinion  or  portrayal  but  yeah  he  is  a delusional  misanthrope,  he  is  not  a  good  person,  and  its  perfectly  fine  for  people  to  point  out  his  creation  by  spencer  alludes  to  white  s*premacist  ideals  because  it  truly  does.  Its  not  wrong  for  people  to  be  uncomfortable  with  this  either,  imo.

He  was  designed   and  groomed  by  someone  who  had  an  underlying  racist  aesthetic  and  vision.  While  wesker  seemed  to  not  believe  in  this  vision  in  quite  the  same  way  i  think  it  makes  sense,  from  his  pov,  why  he  tried  to  co-opt  the  idea  of  lower  humans  and better  humans,  into  “wicked  primitive  humans”  vs  an  enlightened,  evolved  race  of  godlike  beings  who  would  rise  from  humanities  ignorant  and  evil  ashes  to  claim  the  earth  and  make  it  a  better  place.  I  also  have  to  say  that  while  wesker  seems  to  have  good  intentions,  or  at  the  very  least  he  likes  to  think  he  does,  the  reality  is  he’s  very  selfish  so  i’m  not saying  this  isn’t  insane,  out  of  touch  and  delusional,  can’t  stress  this  enough  bc  another  thing  I  have  written  about  and  touched  on  briefly  is the  fact  he  basically  never  saw  the  good  in  humanity  and  was  instead  lead  to  view  humans  in  a  very  negative  light.  

Even  when  he  was  human,  wesker  was  deprived  of  much  of  the  ability  to  actually  associate  with,  relate  to,  and  really  be  a  human.  By  the  time  wesker  was  free  of  umbrella,  the  damage  had  already  been  done  and  there  are  varous  events  through  canon  that  solidified   wesker’s  views  on  humanity  as  opposed  to  allowing  him  to  see  more  than  what  he  had  experienced  and  beyond  the  insidious  idea  that  had  been  implanted  in  him  during  his  time  with  umbrella   that  there  is  no  such  thing  as  “good”  people.  

So  that  being  said  i  will  never  be  sympathizing  for  him  or  trying  to  portray  him  as  someone  who  is  “”worthy””  of  “”redemption””,  and  i  do  not  hope  to  portray  him  as  someone  good.

I  study  why  he  is  what  he  is,  why  he  thinks  what  he  thinks,  how  its  wrong   and  maybe  “tragically”  misinformed  and  thats  kinda  the  purpose  of  this  portrayal  of  him.  Like  i’m  not  gonna  police  people  if  albert  wesker  is  their  blorbo  or  whatever  but  don’t  think  i  don’t  know  exactly  what  wesker  is.

I  know  the  games.  I  know  the  canon.  I  understand  the  allegories,  etc.  Its  fine  if  you  take  away  anything  different  or  feel  uncomfortable  with  this  character  but  i’m  not  in  support  of,  excusing,  or  trying  to  support  anything  heinous  or  malicious.  I’m  just  an  rper  and  re  is  one  of  my  hyper-fixations  and  i  am  playing  Wesker  because  he  was  a  huge  part  of  the  series  and  i  am  good  at  playing  shitty  evil  little  men.
