WILLSKER MENTIONED???

The one core aspect of his persona is that he was manufactured - abused - created.

The Executive Training School intended to produce sets of controllable psycho-sociopaths - a class worth. Human beings, more complex than tools, rarely turn out how they are meant to - neither Birkin nor Wesker were controllable.

Lisa Trevor was a threat and an intimidation tactic as much as she was an experiment - "this will be you if you don't do what we say", essentially.

Wesker, Birkin, and Alexia were all groomed (literal) under the Doctrine, meant to take over in Spencer's stead when he passed (and meant to fight for the position).

Birkin's hate for Alexia was an intentional machination of Spencer. Wesker was intended to experience it towards Birkin eventually, but ultimately did not.

There is only so much death you can voyeur - unwillingly, willingly, it doesn't change the outcome - until you are no longer empathetic to it.

He's a victim of an insurmountable magnitude of intentional happenings whose scale approaches the Truman trope.

His natural, base inclination is not violence.

Birkin had a much higher kill count than he did in the beginning of his arduous and terrible journey, one that they had both started with the desire for a positive change even after they grew up watching their peers picked off like carrion by Marcus.

Wesker's comment to Birkin after the murder of Marcus is that he does not feel anything - good or bad - and that Marcus was "just another monster".

In RE4, he is more than willing to let people solve his own problems without directly, violently interfering to reach his goals. Only when they require violence does he portray it - his first suggestions aren't needlessly cruel ("ring the church bell", "take advantage of the distraction [Leon] is causing", "use [Leon] to clean up Saddler").

When Wesker initially became suspicious of the Arklays, and he looked upon what he perceived was Spencer's goal, he found the idea of it completely revolting even at its' smallest scale. But he could not flee.

The Arklays were meant to produce a viable strain that Spencer could then himself perfect after shedding the Arklays as a testing ground; it was intentionally set up for the event of Raccoon City to occur, but it was not intended for it to occur at the time that it did.

Spencer admits that he - and Project W as a whole - were raised intentionally to produce tools who would become eugenicists in a similar fashion.

Eventually that bitter lie becomes so numb to Wesker's tongue that it begins to taste sweet. "A lie repeated twice is truth" is a known and very evil propaganda tactic employed by cults and fascists - it is called the 'illusion of truth' in psychology, the curse of familiarity.

What if William survived after re2?? 🐥

I wanted to draw them in this Au for soooo long! If someone has headcanons I need moree

Thinking about the implications that Albert did not want to kill S.T.A.R.S.

The only member he killed with his own two hands was Enrico, and judging by his situation when Jill and Chris confront him, he seems to be injured and very well could have been infected from the creatures roaming the NEST facility. Which could be presumed to be a mercy kill covered up with the perception of being to hide his secrets. But that still wouldn't make sense when he planned to reveal them anyway.

Wesker received orders from Umbrella to dispose of S.T.A.R.S. They were his pride and joy. He called them his pet project, yet his residential quarters in the Spencer Mansion is COVERED in numerous articles and newspaper clippings of their accomplishments and exploits. It would be one thing if this were something in his private office, but why keep them in his Umbrella residence? Especially in such a public seating area where other scientists visiting his research area would see them. He was proud of his teams and their accomplishments. He was showing off their notoriety.

He had their affection. Their loyalty. Their love and respect. All of S.T.A.R.S. trusted him. He was proud of them. They were HIS. His accomplishment that was solely his and his alone. Not Umbrella's. Nobody else could take credit for it. Not Spencer. Not Umbrella. This was all his hard work and training put into a team that functioned efficiently and effectively. Sure Alpha was his favorite by far because it was his specifically, but Bravo was quite impressive in their own right as well.

The orders for him to get rid of S.T.A.R.S. and collect the combat data against the Bioweapons in the Spencer Mansion came a week before the U.B.C.S. recruits would begin their own training. Training that would have relied on the specialized skill set and curated techniques of an elite fighting force such as S.T.A.R.S. and the accumulated combat data from fighting various different Bioweapons. Many of which the U.B.C.S. is being trained to deal with.

If Albert Wesker had succeeded in getting rid of S.T.A.R.S. and followed his orders like the loyal drone Spencer expected of him, the U.B.C.S would have thrived under his tutelage and strategic intellect, and would have been far better prepared for an event such as Raccoon City.

Yet Albert failed.
