Resident Evil 5 (2009)

[unnerving-presence]

i still think it’s sweet that wesker took ada to a bed when she passed out. he really could’ve just taken her somewhere that didn’t have any ganados but he decided to take her somewhere comfortable AND safe. idgaf what his real motives were for why he took her there it’s still sweet that he put her on a bed and not on the damn floor or something 😭

Reasons

Hi, today let's discuss some interesting and short topics related to Chris and Wesker. Their relationship and a bit of biology.

Strange attitude towards Chris

We know that Chris has been diligently strengthening his body since the events of Code Veronica, in order to have something to counter Wesker. But he's still human, so no matter how much he tries to increase his physical strength, he can't stand up to Wesker if he's serious about killing him, it's logically useless. Of course, he wasn't the only reason for Chris's increased body mass, an additional motivation was the moment in Code Veronica when he didn't have the strength to kick down the door to save Claire.

Against Wesker any strength is useless (except for Alexia), just think of the final battle in the Lost in Nightmares DLC. No amount of physical strength and training helped Chris even scratch his opponent, let alone any attempt to fight back. The difference between the two is unrealistically huge, which raises the logical question... why is Chris still alive?

What's his attitude towards Chris anyway? Judging from their dialog in re1r, Wesker respects Chris's talents and has his hopes set on him, proud that he came out from under his captain's wing. It's the reason he didn't shoot Chris, wanting to show his best man his best creation (he also showed Jill Tyrant, but from the prism of their situation it looks more like bragging than a meeting of his two best creations). In Code Veronica they met again, and despite Wesker's open hatred for his former subordinate, he chose to demonstrate his power in front of him rather than kill Chris.

What emotions does a person feel when he wants to brag to someone he respects, but at the same time hates? I think Wesker has more respect for Chris than hate. He also wants to show him that he is now "better than he knew before" by trying to impress Chris a second time. He doesn't want to kill him because he's cocky and knows for a fact that the average person won't stop him.

The next encounter takes place in the Lost in Nightmares DLC, where Wesker is angry about information that offended his pride and crossed out everything he thought about himself. This time, when attacking Chris, he's driven by nothing but rage, so he doesn't think much about who's in front of him. Because of this, he might be contemplating breaking with his past, including Chris, so he's actually going to kill him. But he is interrupted, time passes and his emotions cool down, thanks to which the next time he meets Chris in re5 Wesker again doesn't plan to kill him. Chris is now his past, which he has accepted.

Instead of finishing what he planned and cutting off everything that reminds him of his fake past, Wesker decides to embrace the truth, including saving Jill's life and using her in his plans. He must have thought about Chris a lot and talked about him a lot, which you can tell from Excella, who said with disdain: "Chris Redfield" and Wesker at that moment turned away and smiled so that she could not see. He is either amused btw Excella reacts to Chris, or he is really secretly happy to show him his creation again but doesn't want to show his joy to Excella, whereupon he switches back to a serious tone of voice, provoking the woman to leave the room.

Their encounters in re5 don't look like a normal battle, because Wesker is able to kill both of his opponents (Sheva and Chris) completely unhindered just like he killed Spencer's guards in the mansion from the Lost in Nightmares DLC. But he doesn't because Chris has now found a new value to him. Redfield is an element of his past and an element of his present, integrating his personal growth processes and showing up at significant moments in his life. Therefore, as long as Wesker is confident that he will show Chris Uroboros, he will not seriously harm him. Only when his confidence crumbled did he become adamant about getting rid of the interfering element that now not only ruins his plans, but ruins his dreams, opposes his ideals, and negates what Wesker believes in. Chris is now not an accepted and valued past, but a judgmental eye looking straight into Wesker's soul. Someone who is the complete opposite of him. And since Wesker still respects Chris, because he only shows strength to those who are worthy (artbook quote), his opinion is valuable. But what if Chris's opinion differs from his and it can't be changed? The only thing left to do is to beat those views out of him.

Chris is a very important person to Wesker, despite the feelings of hatred he displays, which may also be the result of Wesker being confused about how long he let Chris live. That said, he is utterly helpless to kill this fragile man. He's too rare, valuable, special, the only one. And that brings out the tangled emotions in him. The fact that Chris is alive is absolutely no credit to Chris himself.

Height difference

When Wesker caused himself to overdose with Uroboros, his body increased in size due to the excess cellular material in his body. He is now about 230 cm. I'm sure the process is reversible, and when the virus in his body stabilizes from the overdose by properly fusing with his body, Wesker will return to his previous size. But what's funny is the very fact that because his body cells are unusual and able to regenerate, Wesker is able to react to the overdose with similar side effects. But if the effects were irreversible? That's interesting to think about.

Lack of a hand

If you follow the animations of Wesker's right hand on the volcano closely, you will notice that it moves as one continuous tentacle without bones. While the left one seems more static, and you can also see the arm model through the tentacles on the left arm. I examined its model and found out that the left hand does indeed have a full hand, even fingers, but the right hand is less fortunate - it's missing. In its place are tentacle bones. I realize this was done for ease of animation, but let's imagine for a second that the missing arm is an irreversible side effect, and now Wesker's arm will never come back. The tentacles will retract inside his body, but the arm will be missing and never regenerate. Oldsker without his right arm? Interesting.

[funniestpersonalivefr]

Hi I love your writing! Can we maybe have some Wesker with a partner who is very silly? Like just so opposite to his stoic personality but just utterly in love with each other. I just picture RE5 Wesker and his other employees see his partner and him and are just in shock at how different the two are while still being soft for each other.

opposites attract

yess i love this idea as the funniest person alive. im doing this as like headcanons with a little blurb at the end but yeah enjoy this fluff. credit to image owner. not proofread

you two are the cutest

when with others wesker doesn't quite acknowledge your tomfoolery but he'll give a small smile

excella hates you, she'll often insult you when it's just the two of you

wesker shuts that shit down fast

he just kinda makes it clear not to fuck with you

wesker isn't overly affectionate ever

however he still is soft with you even in front of others

he'll keep a hand on your back as you walk around

you're also the only one to get a smile from him

and maybe if you're extra silly he might just chuckle

albert wesker was a serious man, he was stoic and his expression only ever seemed to be at a neutral face. the blonde was incredibly attractive and caught the attention of those around him despite how little words he uttered.

then there was you, you were loud and confident. you'd tease and taunt, having fun with those around you. you were often followed by the sounds of laughter. the complete opposite of the blonde, yet the two of you captured each other's interest.

it surprised everyone around you as they watched your relationship with the man bloom, i mean albert wesker was smiling. never would anyone have thought that albert wesker would be smiling because of someone else.

they'd often find the two of you in each other's company, a soft smile on wesker's lips as he had a hand placed on your back. no one ever said anything out of fear for wesker but they could all tell the two of you were happy.

[destinationtrekk]

watch out this is angsty

reader at work with Wesker (any)

they get a call from a hospital saying they need to come identify a body. reader is confused for a minute before they're told one of their most beloved family members have sadly been pronounced deceased. the call ends and reader stands there for a moment before breaking down entirely. unable to do work, think, stand, sit, eat.

Wesker ends up finding them curled up in a corner of their office fucking red eyed, bawling, still crying. the only way they'll be able to stop is if they're sedated because otherwise it won't quit.

everyone saw reader step away for their call, stand frozen for a few minutes, and immediately wander off down the hallway like they were in a trance.

wesker was watching carefully, trying not to make it obvious, but he can tell immediately that something is terribly, terribly wrong. he casually leaves to follow you, making some excuse to everyone else watching him in confusion as well. he's surprised at just how far you went to hide from everyone, tucked in some abandoned, forgotten office a few floors down, until he hears how hard you're crying

it worries him, and makes him very uncomfortable, to hear the depth of emotion in your cries. it doesn't seem like you're trying to muffle them - you're outright sobbing in this cold empty office, alone, after what he imagines was the worst news of your life. that's what it has to be, right? what else could possibly make his best employee breakdown in such a manner

he has no choice but to talk to you, being the caring (tragically in love) boss that he is. he stands by the door and says your name, tries to get you to calm down, but it's apparent you aren't even in the room. you're completely checked out, whiteknuckling the floor like if you don't you'll fly away

he sits next to you, risking touching your shoulder to comfort you - but. oh. you're practically catatonic except for the heaving sobs, eyes locked on some nonexistent point in the room. he's worried you're going to black out, choking yourself on your own cries, so he gets right in your face to try and knock you out of it.

he has no idea what's wrong, he's kind of freaking out, actually, because even stars couldn't prepare him for this kind of trauma response. he thought he'd seen it all - bleeding children and grieving widows and psychotic killers, but no, you're actually scaring the shit out of him

after a few more minutes you're getting blue in the face, and he has no choice but to call for assistance. he radios someone he trusts, chris (stars) or excella (re5), to bring him a sedative, pain killers, anything, damnit, just get here now!

he stays with you the entire time, speaking gently in your ear while he tries to comfot you to no avail, your sobs quieting down but you're still barely sucking in air. when the sedative finally arrives, he realizes he's never injected something so sloppily. he just needs you to sleep, to calm yourself, to fucking breathe

after you finally slip into some dizzy and black world, he lifts you in his arms and gives the other person a grave look. this is bad. very bad. he knows for a fact it's going to stay bad when you wake, and likely for a long while until you can get over whatever tragedy befell you. for now, though, he takes you somewhere quiet and safe and waits for you to wake up, hand tightly squeezing your own

[cho-aaacho]

Stupid fucking idea that me and my sister made up:

Evil Wesker but with energetic henchman reader. Kinda cartoon villain like but it was too funny me and my sister kept giggling about it.

Imagine Wesker and the reader are trying to infect the world with Uroboros and Chris keeps fucking up Wesker’s plans.

Reader is like “Cheer up boss, we’ll get Chris next time! You’ll reach godhood in no time!”

Wesker hates, but also loves the fact that they’re willing, and energetic to help him achieve his goal. Kinda protective over them.

But imagine at the end of RE5 instead of dying, Wesker is just locked up in some maximum security prison.

But it’s just a little more bearable with the reader with them.

“Aw shucks. Well we didn’t get it this time. But i’m sure next time we’ll get it! Have faith boss!”

A very small, smile itches its way onto his lips. Maybe life imprisonment wouldn’t be so bad with you around.

Haha. What a fantastic idea! I have a scenario about this. I hope you love it!

Wesker is really good at being a leader. We can see how he carries S.T.A.R.S. and how he has a good relationship with them. Despite only acting, no one can detect that at all. So he's a good actor or just a psychopath?

He has charm and charisma, and everyone seems to depend on him. His charisma allowed him to entice people to do his dirty work. Narcissists are known to be charismatic, intelligent beyond the human realm, and highly manipulative.

Even no one notices when he's hacking a Bravo team's helicopter, which is the end game for them.

However, during his days in Tricell, he found someone interesting. And it's you. He barely talks with anyone at the Tricell facility; it's not because he hates them. He just doesn't have time to chit-chat.

At the time, his mind was consumed with Spencer and, of course, Uroboros. But one day, you told him something, and it was simply a strange conversation.

You say, "Let go of anything holding you back and die. There's nothing wrong with harboring dislikes toward others."

Realizing that he was only wasting his time, he started tracking and eliminating Spencer while ambitiously pursuing the Uroboros project. You've never seen him like this before; even Irving and Excella were upset by his unusual behavior. 

Wesker even tells you about his Uroboros plans, including a backup plan in case he fails. You could not help but listen to him. Because he appears to be pleased with how you respond to him and reply to him. 

"Okay, boss, do as you wish. Even if you try to burn everything down, the world around us remains the same. But it will feel different if you are not beside me."

After facing defeat by Chris and imprisonment, he doesn't hate or feel upset. It contradicted his nature, as he despised being defeated, especially by his archenemy.

Nothing else matters to him as long as he has you...

"Hey, Wesker... it's impressive that BSAA was able to lock us up. But don't worry; it's only a mild prison. After this, Chris will lose interest in us and eventually retire. At that moment, we will shine and return. If Chris wants to stop, he will. It's human nature."

He just... smiled. It was the first time you saw him relaxed like this. Though you are not worth it for that smile, you were really happy with that little detail about him.

"It appears I have your attention, Wesker. I am pleased to see you smiling. Let us try again and see if we can defeat Chris or those who support him, friends, and families."

[whiskers-my-beloved]

Despite reading many fanfics, I still don't believe Wesker would take dominant role in romantic relationship like people think. Maybe it would appear like that if his partner had naturally shy personality. But in canon, with people he had non-negative relationship (or at best indifferent), he acted quite aloof towards Excella and was fairly lenient with people he worked with in general. Come on, you tell me with such attitude Wesker would act like a dominant top in his more intimate relationship? I...can't believe it, he probably might just be casual and more relaxed when it comes to his lover, as boring as it sounds. The time when Wesker went violent was when he fought against his enemies and it's expected to be aggressive when dealing with enemies. Jill in re5? Everyone knows Wesker despises Chris so of course he would want to do something to fuck with him. Either he kills off Jill and taunts Chris with her death later or turns her into mind-controlled servant. Okay I admit he somewhat has sadistic streak though. I... have no cope about it really.

Thanks a lot for reading my ramble ���

Ohhhh another ask ❤️ Thank you

Ohhh I never noticed that ! Good catch, I never noticed that before!

I did notice he seems rather informal with his S.T.A.R.S. team, calling everyone by their first name. I think he calls everyone by their first name? Also personalitywise, he seems to be more of an introvert?

The gameplay bits I saw of him in the mercenaries mode made me think how he doesn't seem to like showing his true strength?

Like Wesker you are faster if you just use your powers only ^^ You don't need a gun at all.

So yeah, I could see him act more chill in relationships. Maybe be akward too. Not used to showing his feelings. A bit stiff and tense too.

In my Tyrant Reader x Wesker comic I haven't reached any romantic parts yet but I would leave it in the open how the relationship is behind closed doors.

I don't anyone rambling in my asks ^^ ✨️

[howaboutcaptainwesker]

On Jake Muller's mother

Anyone else think way too hard about her and Wesker?

Before I begin this I would like to apologize for the way that I write despite English being my primary language 🔥

RE6 introduces Jake Muller, Albert Wesker's stupid son. I'm sure the thought "omg Wesker fucked" crossed everyone's minds when this plot point was first revealed

I personally had the thoughts "RE6 was dumb as hell and the whole thing with Wesker having a son probably wasn't thought out very well. This is a detail that doesn't matter." and "It was probably a quickie with a stranger - someone he sought out specifically to have sex with. Someone he didn't care about."

We don't have a lot of information on Jake's mom, except:

[These are from the RE6 files Jake's Family Situation / Written Report on Jake Muller]

She was born in Edonia

She was in her early 20's when she immigrated to the USA from Edonia and had the chance to meet Wesker

She returned to Edonia and gave birth to Jake without telling Wesker

She was mild-mannered and did her best to raise Jake

She loved Wesker

She died from an illness that she couldn't afford to treat

and

Wesker is described to have "abandoned" her and Jake

Just the fact that she was still in love with Wesker as Jake was growing up gives the impression that they had something a little more than a random quick fuck. Like, please read this letter to Jake from his mom.

"I love you, Jake. I'm so sorry to have to leave you like this. Please forgive me. And please, don't hate your father. I'm sure he loves you and is thinking about you, and I know you two will find each other someday. Stay strong."

RE6 takes place in 2013, and at that time Jake was 20 years old. If he was born in 1993, that means he was conceived in 1992-1993. According to Wesker's Report II, Wesker left the Arklay Laboratory in 1991 and transferred to Umbrella's intelligence division/information department.

(I refuse to believe that Wesker was in the army. I cannot find a reliable source for it beyond the '96 BIO HAZARD guide book published by Kodansha, a 1994 bio image from when he was still named Hustler, and this bio image that I cannot for the life of me find the source for.)

Wesker was absolutely not immune to attraction. Upon inspecting his desk 50x in a row in the original RE2, you can take an undeveloped roll of film from it that turns out to be a photo of Rebecca in an R.P.D. sports bra + shorts set.

(You could argue that he was simply keeping tabs/info on everyone while he was Captain because he was sooooo careful like that. But I'm not seeing an undeveloped film of Barry in a skimpy little outfit hidden deep within his desk, so... 🤨)

You know what? Sorry for pointing this out, but it's been weighing heavy on my mind. This is the only time I'm ever gonna get to talk about this. In 1998, Rebecca was 18, and Wesker was 38. Jake Muller's mom was described as being in her early 20's when she immigrated to the US. Wesker was 32-33 when he impregnated Ms. Muller. Every fiber of my being thinks he may have had a thing for sweet, young brunette women.

...Anyway, I'm sure Wesker was at least somewhat nice to Jake's mom, especially considering how much she loved him even years later. Wesker is an arrogant bastard, but he's shown time and time again that he's very capable of playing nice with others. (See: S.T.A.R.S. and Excella.)

I mean, every time he played nice it was because he had ulterior motives, but I don't think he had any reason to manipulate Jake's mom. If he wanted quick sex, he could've gone out and had it with anyone. He wasn't working at the Arklay Laboratory in the middle fuck-ass nowhere anymore. And he wasn't in S.T.A.R.S. yet, so he wasn't in the public eye. If he wanted to get his dick wet and be done with it, he could've done exactly that, but he stuck around Ms. Muller long enough for her to develop strong feelings.

As for the abandoning part... I'm just grasping for anything at this point, but I'm sure that after a while Wesker realized that this (relationship?) wasn't something he could, or wanted to keep up. Nothing was more important to Wesker than his plans. Everything he did was to further his own goals, and Ms. Muller didn't fit into them. Plus he never had issues cutting ties.

The fact that Jake's mom left without a single word about her pregnancy makes me think that he gave her a very good reason not to contact him. I mean, maybe he just up and disappeared one day, but the way that things are worded in the RE6 files gives the impression that Ms. Muller chose not to contact him, not that she couldn't.

Maybe he said something along the lines of "I can't see you anymore." As for a good reason, "I'm not someone you want to associate with; I'm not someone you're going to be able to see in the long run." And then for good measure, "Please do not try to reach me."

--- Stop reading here I accidentally wrote fanfic ---

I can't stop thinking about all the possible ways they could have met, and what Wesker saw in her, and what she saw in him in return.

This is cheesy and overdone, but maybe they met at a coffee shop Wesker frequented. Ms. Muller saw him regularly, and thought he was a little funny in the way he ordered the same thing every day and never seemed to take off those dark sunglasses.

Small glances and acknowledgements of his presence turned into greetings and smiles. Each of them became a part of the others' daily routine, until one day Ms. Muller decided to strike up a conversation.

Wesker, who is usually too caught up in his own ideas and goals to care about anyone but himself, finds that he doesn't particularly mind the woman's presence. Wesker finds it easy to speak to her - refreshing, even. These interactions are not an inconvenience.

Ms. Muller, in my head, would be the first one to suggest that they hang out beyond their little coffee shop encounters. I don't think the thought would have even occurred to Wesker - and he'd surprise himself by saying yes.

Wesker ends up taking nice, long walks with her. Talking with her but mostly just listening to her speak, because although he finds her to be foolish in her naivety and kindness, he also finds her charming for those exact traits. I don't think he'd tell her a damn thing about what he does or what his main interests are.

Maybe he even spends a bit of money on her. He doesn't splurge, of course - money, although he cares not for it, is a tool he could use at a later date. But that necklace she saw through the shop window, or a small lunch when they've both got the time... spending money on those things is harmless enough. Just this once.

I doubt Wesker would want anyone over at his place, even if it does lack many personal touches because all he uses it for is to shower and sleep. He hates the thought of anyone touching, or worse, looking through his things.

But he'd be fine going over to her place, and he ends up doing just that, saying 'yes' to her invitation and...

--- End fanfic ---

TL;DR Wesker caught feelings for a nice young woman from Edonia, engaged in some terrible missionary with her maybe once (maybe several times), and then probably cut things off because he remembered he's evil

[alicethepiper]

just thinking about a re5make

just the title. i'm on an re4r binge again (when am I not) and I'm just so excited to go back to Kijuju.

re4remake is easily my favorite game in the series and even as someone who has yet to finish the original, i still see and listen to the accounts of others who did - and their comparisons between the two mean a lot and have me excited for what's in store for re5. i think i'm so excited because unlike og re4, i have beaten re5 countless times and im just - ahhhhhhhh. so excited. (if i come across a sheva in og re4 mod watch me beat it immediately lol)

was watching a playthrough of re4make and person playing was complimenting it while also going through her favorites between og and remake. she was commenting on the krauser boss fight, and then the saddler one. and maybe it's literally just how goopy and gross saddler is (and that's what reminded me of excella), but i am so excited to see excella's boss fight. just, in that moment, i was like "oh shit. there is a chance that we're gonna get an updated re5 and we're gonna see botox buddy #2 in all her remake glory." and that's so fucking cool.

i have so many (constructive, i hope) criticisms of re5 - i played the xbox 360 version originally a year ago, and then this summer came back to it, saw re5 on sale, and caved. Since this summer i've only been playing the PC version - and i play it with a lot of mods.

my main complaint (and also source of excitement) is the absolutely disgusting horrible godforsaken green filter, or the idea of a *lack* of it. re4make is so fucking pretty. i am so excited to see that treatment given to other resi games. and i want more from the environment too. there's literally so much opportunityyyyyyy capcom pleaseeeee.

you change location so much in re5. in particular, im a huge fan of the marshlands and it's essentially the stone retrieval thingy in chapter 4(?) of re4make. just - imagine the marshlands with more color?? more foliage?? just, more?? agh. and there's the beautiful scene with the sun rising behind sheva as she and chris ride around on the boat? i need that whole section with the sun rising. do you know how pretty that would be? and then when you get all the slates and open the door, the sun can come up more and whatnot idc. just, let me ride the boat around the pretty marsh. let there be more animals just chilling about (not just the alligators/crocodiles/i can't tell the difference/i always forget/i'm sorry). let me kill enemies with a beautiful sunrise behind me pleaseeeee. i know resident evil is a "gross" series with lots of gunk and shit, but there are so many instances of the games being absolutely gorgeous. the train in re0? queen zenobia? the rcpd literally being built on top of an old museum? let re5 be pretty, capcom. pleaseeeeeee

i'm also just excited for the bossfights overall. everything in re5 is huge and in a potential re5make, there's such an opportunity to make it feel just MORE. irving? excella? jill's bossfight in general??????? literally there is so much potential here. i'm so excited for a jill fight. make the environment more. the voicelines when chris calls out for her. when you play as sheva and AI Chris will stand in front of Jill so you don't shoot her??? i could cry.

also capcom make me like the mkono boss fight please. when i grab the flamethrower, make it do something :)

also, all of the ruins in the game just have so much promise. i haven't played tomb raider in a hot minute, but i remember that shit being fire. give it the tomb raider treatment or something idk.

another thing that i'm so so desperate for is dialogue. i NEED more conversation between Sheva and Chris. They're literally at the hip the entire game, so let them talk. I want to know more about Sheva. I want Chris to slowly open up about Jill, Raccoon City, and the Spencer Mansion. Let that man talk a bit about Wesker - Sheva is walking into hell with him, she deserves to know what's up. (and please bring karen dyer back pleaseeeeeee). from my understanding, sheva was really only supposed to be a liaison between the different BSAA locations. she's essentially there as a translator and guide for chris - yes, she can take care of herself and kick ass, but she wasn't supposed to have to. and then shit hit the fan. so let them talkkkkk about it. let her open up about her dead parents and shit. let chris open up about his dead parents. orphan bond and shit idk

i'm not sure how co-op is gonna work with potential re5 or re6 remakes, but I personally love being able to play with other people. either way, a girl can dream.

i'm sure there's more i could think of but this is what came up off the top of my head. i have no clue if we'll get an re5make (it seems like it would make sense that it comes next after 2,3, and 4 getting a remake). i'm not like keeping my hopes super high or anything but i do want my thoughts out into the universe because i think it would be cool to look back at what i was thinking before re5make was promised/not promised/delivered, etc.

[hollownoire]

Recently picked up Resident Evil 5 on steam for $5 since it was on sale.

Friend owed me a wee favor so I chose to share one of my favorite games from my childhood with him. God, it was so worth it. I completely forgot how fucking fun RE5 is and how goddamn delightful Wesker is voiced and as a villain.

Chris and Wesker are definitely fucking, right? Please tell me I'm not the only one who thinks so.

You don't growl a man's name like that unless you plan on kissing sloppy or fucking, I'm sorry.

"7 minutes is all the time I have to play with you."

First off, you sound disappointed Wesker dear. Second off you're "playing" with John Boulder Redfield himself?

Third off, Wesker didn't give a shit about Excella in the slightest. She's trying to woo him and all he can think about is his super evil plan and fucking with his boyfriend Chris.

For Christ's sake Wesker dumps Priscella at Chris's feet like a cat does a dead bird. Then, instead of...I don't know, just fucking off instantly with his superhuman speed into his batplane and getting his Victory Royale Wesker stays to whisper sweet nothings into an intercom to tease his barn-sized boulder-fisting boytoy some more. It was all fucking tongue and smiles, too, Wesker loved that shit.

Anyway, why the fuck was that ORBITAL LASER there?! BECAUSE WESKER PUT IT THERE. Mr. Matrix was running the whole fucking show! That fucking thing was the only thing that could stop Spaghetti Chinchilla and it was fucking 20ft that-a-ways from where Wesker meticulously planted a bunch of bodies and Gorganzola for Chris to find.

You don't just "misplace" an honest to god orbital fucking cannon as a leather-wearing genetic supremacist venom wannabee supervillain. Wesker bought that thing with his own fucking money. He KNEW it was there.

The nail in the coffin is how Chris reacted after the fight with the orbital laser and Mozzarella. After EVERYTHING Wesker has done so far both in the campaign of 5 and the previous games before Chris is all like:

"I can't believe Wesker would actually destroy the world!" D:

Yeah dude?! They're fucking, end of story.

[godtier]

so i wasn't gonna make a separate post about this but @sapphire-weapon had a post (that i reblogged a few days ago) in which someone mentioned that they think it was a missed opportunity in RE6 for jake to not have spoken to wesker. i had a p long conversation with sirea about it and my thoughts about that sentiment, but it was also nearly 3 AM my time when that happened so i dunno if i was even articulating my thoughts properly lmao

and yes... this is technically a meta post and i know i said i was gonna do the mmx meta post first... but this one isn't gonna be nearly as long (i hope) and i gotta get the brainworms out before i die

(quick edit note: i reworded the list item below from saying he was "likely a drug addict" to "likely a recreational drug user" because i feel like that better encompasses what i'm trying to get across

(another edit note: i made another post regarding jake's usage of drugs that stemmed from this post! it's marked as mature bc of drug usage, so it won't show up in tag search. if you're interested in that, look here!)

so the idea that wesker being alive in OG RE6 would have brought an opportunity for jake's character is kinda, imo, antithetical to the purpose of jake's character in the first place.

when we meet jake, we know a few things about him, right off the bat:

he's a mercenary

he's likely a recreational drug user or at least heavy/risk-taking user

he doesn't give a fuck about anything but making money

his whole character journey is going from this selfish, money-focused dickhead to someone who actually cares about doing something good, just because it's the right thing to do. at the start, jake refuses to simply give his blood away when sherry mentions needing it for a vaccine. no, he wants a cash payout. 50 million dollery-doos for a pint of his blood. by the end, he lowers the price to a mere 50 dollars. one could argue that was symbolic and he actually didn't care if he was paid or not, but that's neither here nor there.

but why was he like this? because his childhood was shite; his mother was sickly, he had no father figure, and by 15-ish, jake had to learn how to hustle to keep food on the table. and by "hustle" i mean "do a bunch of mercenary work and killing people." and when shit went south with his little group of mercenaries (their entire group was sold out by a heel-turner), jake basically went "fuck alla y'all" and lost all sense of conviction or morals.

during the game, he expresses his bitterness for his father, wesker, pretty clearly. even though his mother still loved wesker, tried to raise jake to respect him despite never knowing him, it didn't matter to jake. he hated that guy. well, really, who doesn't?

we're not gonna talk about excella rn ok

jake's entire character arc is built up around this hatred as well as a subconscious fear of becoming his father. the fear part doesn't show up until later in the story, after he and sherry were captured by the Big Bad's organization. they were both experimented on for several months, during which jake overheard the researchers talking about his father, wesker. this gives jake a sort of "explanation" as to why he is the way he is; he takes the "nature" side of the nature vs nurture argument.

ofc sherry scolds his ass and basically tells him "grow up and take responsibility for your actions."

and here's the thing... this fear, narratively, works just fine without wesker being there.

(since this got obscenely long, pls continue below for the actual explanation lmao)

jake eventually comes to the conclusion that yeah no it's definitely up to him to not become wesker, not his genetics. he does this without wesker being there. that's the entire point of his character journey. in order for an interaction with wesker to even matter or have any sort of impact on jake's character arc, his character arc as a whole would need to change.

see, imo, wesker being there diminishes a lot of the power of that journey. in the game, he isn't there for jake to scream at, to question. all those thoughts in his head that might be circulating around, like why he left his mother, why he did what he did, etc, cannot be answered. this is not a bad thing in a character arc as this is shit that happens to people all the time. people don't always get the answers they may want from family members because those family members are dead. they have to learn to move on without those answers or they have to rely on people who knew that person to fill in the blanks. this is what jake already does in game. he has to rely on sherry, and by a smaller extent, chris, to fill in those blanks for him.

but we as players, observers of the narrative, already know the answers to some of those questions. why wesker did what he did, primarily. anything else is only pertinent to jake and him knowing those answers doesn't change anything for his character arc as it is.

if wesker was there in the game, what would that even add to jake's narrative? a scene where jake yells at his dad? asks him "why did you leave?" when wesker wasn't even aware that he had a kid in the first place? remember: wesker had no fucking idea that he had a child. there would be no reason for wesker to even believe jake in the first place. sure, there could be a scene where he goes "well i'll be damned, ig he really is my misfired chromosome," but... then what? what does that add?

you could argue that wesker could use jake, maybe try to manipulate him into doing shit for his plans, but... that wouldn't work with the way jake's characterization is mapped out. his entire characterization would have to change for this to work in a satisfying way.

jake already hates wesker without ever meeting him. he would not willingly participate in anything wesker offered to him. he already knows that wesker nearly destroyed the world multiple times and had a hand in destroying an entire city. even if jake has no moral compass at the start of the game, by the time he learns about what wesker really did, who he really was, he's already showing that he does have one, it was just dormant up until that point. he's clearly disgusted by what wesker did. what foothold would wesker have that wouldn't immediately result in it just falling flat?

given how wesker is, i could see him perhaps belittling jake, maybe saying "wow you suck for being my spawn," or something during a fight with the intent to rile him up. would that work? no, not narratively nor not in the way jake is characterized. again, jake doesn't want to be like wesker. why would insulting him and saying he's not "as good" as wesker expected him to be motivate jake or even anger him? it shouldn't, because jake doesn't want to be anything like wesker. if anything, it may annoy him, but that's kind of a lame reaction, right?

if anything, the most i could see culminating out of this would be jake standing over wesker after he's defeated again (because it's resident evil and obviously wesker can't win) and having a "wow idk what i was worried about" moment. that's it.

but he doesn't need that. having a scene like that cheapens the weight of him figuring that out himself, without wesker there as "proof."

because the point of his story, of his character arc, is that he figures that out on his own (and with the help of sherry and the events he witnesses) because he has to. he doesn't need wesker there to spoon-feed that to him. he figures that out by working with sherry, by seeing the effects of the C-Virus on everything that it infects. wesker being an abstract entity in his life is enough, because the frustration of not seeing him, not being able to put a bullet in his skull himself, fuels the rest of his journey.

this is where i think that people who make these observations or criticisms (primarily those who think that jake's character would have been improved if wesker was there) need to understand the difference between what's good for a character as a person and what's good for their arc.

interacting with wesker would be good for jake as a person, in that he would no longer need to wonder about it. the answers would be spelled out for him, and he wouldn't have to do any wondering about the what-if. he wouldn't have any doubts left that he'd need to untangle.

but in doing that, it cheapens his arc; it would do more of a disservice to it, imo, than anything else. it would make his journey more formulaic and boring.

it would also clutter up the already cluttered narrative of that game. you have him not only struggling with his heritage, struggling with the fear of becoming his father, struggling with needing to be the "savior" by giving his blood, struggling with his moral compass, but now also struggling with seeing his father for the first time in person?

it makes his arc top-heavy. in that scenario, you could easily replace him with another, completely new character who has zero ties to wesker and the story wouldn't change in any meaningful way. the reason why it works the way to does now is because wesker is already dead. it creates that internal conflict, that internal frustration, that jake has to learn how to deal with since he cannot take that frustration out on his father in-person. he has to make peace with that struggle in other ways.

now, that's not to say there aren't ways that adding wesker into the story of RE6 that don't disrupt that balance. primarily, when it comes to a potential RE6 remake, the writing team can (and hopefully will) rework aspects of the entire game to make the plot more streamlined. this could include adding wesker in and redoing jake's characterization and character arc entirely.

this would be the only way i could see it working out. if jake's entire motivation was changed, his entire backstory was tweaked, then wesker being around could probably work! an interaction between them could be made to make sense and not bog down the rest of the plot as a result.

sirea also mentioned to me in our conversation that adding wesker in to RE6 remake could actually help streamline the plot and i do agree with that. she mentioned that all of the main characters have a tie to wesker in some way, which is absolutely true. having him there would neatly tie their campaigns together in the plotline and make the game as a whole feel less disjointed and messy.

this is especially true when we consider there are 4 fuckin campaigns that all run alongside one another and intersect at random points. it gets so fucking difficult to page through and figure out when certain things happen in the plot. you'll see them happen in order in chris's campaign, for example, then you go start leon's campaign and have to start over again and try to remember what happened at the same time during chris's campaign and so on.

now imagine that not with just two campaigns but four. it gets gross quick. sure, there are parts where the characters run into each other and that helps ground a general timeline in your head, but as far as time elapsed... it's so fuckin hard u guise

there's a reason why it's so hard to summarize the plot of RE6. it's because there is just so much going on in that fucking game.

anyway, that's my rant/sort of meta analysis about why i think wesker didn't need to be in OG RE6 and probably would have made jake's entire arc stupider than it already was

No rest for the wicked

So…this is it? Have you made the right choices? Did your choices really lead you to watching this go down? Or was it always going to be like this for you, trapped in a universe that is not yours? Or was it always meant to be this way for you? It’s not like you were complaining about this situation, after all.

Transported au

Transported masterlist

Ending 1, World is our’s

You wonder how you ended up here… What, exactly, you did to deserve this… To be trapped in a universe very unlike your own, in a loving relationship with the main antagonist of your favorite game series. His ambitions shine through life and death, no one is an exception to his perfect reality, and thanks to your blood, your DNA, he managed to correct any imperfections. Everyone he tested it on all yielded the same result…they lived and were now incredibly enhanced. And now they were more like him, more like you, the makings of a perfect predator.

It was a surprise for you when your blood turned out to be the key to perfecting the virus, you wouldn’t have guessed that that was the case.

Although, Albert didn’t seem all too surprised or shocked. Maybe he always had a feeling it would turn out this way.

Especially after what had happened a few months ago. That still stung even months later.

After what had happened with Spencer in the mansion, all he could think about was that. He had a family somewhere that either willingly gave him up or he was taken from them.

And after that incident ending with him being tackled off of the cliff by Jill, he was very clingy afterwards. Wanting to be near you as much as possible, so it really helped that you worked with him. He didn’t think he’d be able to get through this without your continuous support. You could still remember that conversation you two had after everything.

“Did…did you know?” He asked you, almost choking on his words, after everything that happened at the mansion, he was so tired emotionally and mentally and the look on your face told more than words you could say to him, “Why didn’t you tell me?”

His voice sounded so small as he asked that. So defeated and sad. It came out more as a whisper rather than his usual mocking tone.

You flinched as you looked at him, trying to gather your thoughts, fingers covering your mouth as you thought. He was in a rather vulnerable state, anything you said had to be thought through.

“I wanted you to hear it from him. I didn’t think it was my place to say…and I thought that… maybe you’d hate it more if I was the one to tell you.” You finally replied after some silence.

He didn’t say much after that, just continued to stare at you as he processed your words. He contemplated as he stared at you, eyes hazy with an emotion you couldn’t place. With a soft, defeated sigh, he looked down and ran his fingers through his hair before looking back to you.

“Do you love me for my abilities? My power?” He asked quietly, looking down at you. Did you love him for only his abilities? His powers? Did you only want him like Excella did? You shook your head as you smiled up at him.

“I’d love you no matter what happened.” You said, “Powers or no powers. You’re still the person I’d fall in love with a thousand times over.”

He smiled at you with that, thumb running over the ring that you had made for him yourself. He knew what you said was true, you stood by him the whole time. You even helped improve his plans on certain things, and it really helped in the long run.

His stare moved over to your ring finger, one of his own medals melted down to create it for you. Just as you did for him. You two would go back to the home base, bringing along an unconscious but alive Jill, who Albert had plans for. You don’t know how exactly this would affect you, as you were friends with her and she would keep her memories of being mind controlled. Although you have yet to actually run into Chris, you have no idea what she would say to him when she’s freed of the control.

Things were different when you weren’t there, and although he doesn’t remember exactly, you know it was different. How he couldn’t handle the news and flipped out, but now it was odd. He did freak out during that time, but not as much. Was it because of the conversation you two had afterwards? Or was it just because you were there? This was different. And you had made that happen.

You’re not sure how you ended up changing the timeline forever, but you really could not care less. Not in this exact moment at least. Curled up in his big strong arms as you two lay together is the most comforting thing in your entire life. In the off times in between working on the virus or researching and watching Chris and Sheva interrupt said research, you’d spend as much time together as possible. You two were very busy so every little moment together was precious. In these times…you really got to see the softer side he’d only share with you. Where he was Albert, only a man of flesh and blood who loved his fiancé, where he’d listen to you rattle on about an animal or bug or anything you knew about. Where you two would lie close together in the late morning, still in bed, awake and tracing each other’s body.

Holding you close as you listen to his heartbeat, away from Tricell, away from Excella trying to breathe him in, just you and him in a bed snuggled as close as possible. Excella really bugged you..not that you were jealous of her or jealous at all, you trusted Albert and his loyalty to you and knew he was only playing her. But she still irked you.

She would say things about you but never in front of you or Albert, she’d gossip about you or Wesker to the other employees when she thought you two weren’t listening in, she knew what would happen to the world, knew about you and your strengths and yet still thought she could take your place and become queen of the new world. Foolish, really. But Albert would indulge in these little fantasies of her’s to keep her off of his back, you know full well she’d be rejected by Uroburos, and you even told him as such. He always knew the things she said about you but you had convinced him to not kill her. He still needed her company.

You were a little sad when the time came to see Jill off for good. You missed talking to her but you knew all good things must come to an end. You waved them off as Albert really did not want you even in the vicinity of Chris, especially in such a small place where they were going. You told him what was going to happen, of course, it’s thanks to you that he even knew his plan failed because of certain steps he should have taken. Although he hated to see you upset that your friend had to leave, what’s going to happen will happen. Jill would be away from you and retain her memories but that didn’t stop you from being curious about what she would reveal to Chris…

What if she revealed that you willingly went with Wesker? Did she even know that? Could she even pick up on that with her mind locked away so much? Did she know that you were lying to them because you couldn’t stand them hating you? Questions flew through your mind as you paced back and forth in your living room, awaiting for your fiancé to come back.

When Chris freed Jill from her mind control, she confirmed to him, “They make him happy. Genuinely happy. It’s strange to see him so in love with someone, he seems absolutely smitten.” This was good, you were keeping Wesker calm. To them, you were keeping your promise.

She continued, “He’s relaxed, he takes in the scenery while they just ramble about some bug or plant they saw. And he listens so intently, even asking questions about whatever it is they’re talking about.” While Chris still wanted revenge, he at least knew that you were good. You were safe and that’s all he could care about.

While they reunited, Jill recounted all the things she saw. How you would constantly be by his side as he made his final preparations. They both knew there was no turning back from this point on. He even heeded your advice about Chris hunting him down still and made a fake missile. With Chris, he’d be busy chasing Wesker down, so hellbent on revenge that he wouldn’t even look into the missiles, so he and Excella would be with the fake, while you would be with the real one. He trusted this information to no one else but you, because he knew you could do it with ease, you did have to convince him that you could do it though.

“Let me do this.” You had said to him, hands holding his own. “If I’m with the real missile, it’ll ensure the plan works.”

He had, at first, been against the idea of you being alone with it. Albert was terrified of something going wrong and you getting hurt or worse. He didn’t want you even close to the plan you helped him create.

“What if something goes wrong? What if I’m not there?” His argument was that if something happened and he couldn’t stop it, god he wouldn’t know what to do.

“I promise I’ll keep checking everything constantly. I’d never leave you, fate can’t stop me.” You swore to him, smiling brightly.

He had agreed but only if you monitored everything and checked back frequently so you wouldn’t get hurt.

He kissed you deep, pouring all of his love into the kiss, before you went off to the real missile launch. A kiss for good luck. He’d have to deal with Excella on his own but that’s a small price to pay in the grand scheme of things. Especially since she wouldn’t be getting the actual virus, only a previous one that would kill her. Her death was set in stone and she thought she had a place in the new world. He couldn’t allow that.

Everything was going according to plan… Well, the new plan anyways. It was turning out way better than any of his previous plans, if he’s being honest. Chris had come after him, hellbent on revenge, right on schedule. Little did he know, he’d become like Wesker soon enough.

Excella was ecstatic when she heard you would be on a different site, making sure everything went to plan there; She was excited to finally be alone with Albert without you around. Boy…did she not see what was coming to her.

Excella had flirted with Wesker a little too long for his liking and he made sure she got the rejected virus strain. He didn’t need, nor want, the likes of her in his world.

“You didn’t really think that you had a place in the new world, did you? After how you treated my fiancé? Don’t think I didn’t hear all that gossip. Do you think I’m dumb? That I don’t know what’s going on in my own facility?”

He had told her that through the microphone when she called out for him. The look of despair on her face when he said that was one he’d savor for as long as he lived and he couldn’t wait to tell you all about it.

It did not turn out how she wanted it to. She was fooled by him, by you. She was fooled by herself. Blinded by her own delusions of grandeur. Yet she had no place in the world or in his life. He already had someone in the place she wanted.

Her transformation was painful, just as he wanted it to be for her. She dared to think she could replace you, use him, and do whatever she wanted in the new world. Such arrogance was something he grew to hate the more time he spent with you.

The hours of spending time with her felt awful. Where he grew to love the life around him with you, he grew to hate her very existence. Shame she could’ve been so much more. Too bad she wasn’t given the strain that had been fixed up perfectly with your DNA. That was another thing that pissed him off. How dare she treat you like that when you are the reason the virus was perfected in the first place. He’d kill her with his own hands but he still needed her company…so after all this time…waiting for this exact moment, her turning into a mess of black goo and vines was oh so satisfying for him to watch.

Chris and Sheva paid little to no attention to the newly transformed Excella, merely killing her without a word said before moving on, after all they had no idea that the virus was now perfected. They just needed to stop that missile from launching, kill or defeat Wesker, “rescue” you, and save the world. Oh how little did they know.

Wesker made a big show, talking about the missile, purposely directing their attention to it, and how he plans to ensure total global saturation, infecting everyone and turning them into stronger beings. Going on about how the weak don’t deserve to survive and only the strongest may thrive. Making them tougher, faster, and way stronger, and Chris, Jill and Sheva would see just how it felt to be him for themselves soon enough. After spending time with you and seeing how much you cared for every little insect and creature though, he knew his monologue was nothing more than a show. Little to the BSAA agents’ knowledge, you had already gone up with the missile after some checking and double checking.

So when he went up with the fake, Chris and Sheva on board and fighting him as well, you were already in the atmosphere with the real virus.

You checked in on them via the cameras on the plane and watched as Albert taunted them and fought them like they were nothing. You watched for a second before you made some final checks before launching the missile, you just needed to be a little higher in the air. Waiting while watching seemed a good idea to you, especially since it meant you got to watch your fiancé fight, which was always a marvel to witness.

A little alarm beeped, signaling you were high enough in the atmosphere, so you hit the launch button after making one final check, hitting a couple more buttons and switches to turn on autopilot and stabilizing the aircraft as it launched through the air, you watched as it whistled by the aircraft. There is no turning back.

On the other side of the world, Albert, Chris and Sheva all stood within a volcano, atop the molten rocks.

“It’s over, Wesker.” Chris stated, standing tall as a very shirtless Albert emerged from the rubble.

“Oh Chris. Poor pathetic Chris. You don’t seem to get it, do you?” He taunted back, his smirk widening as he felt his phone vibrate with confirmation that the missile launch was successful.

“What?”

“This was a ruse. All for show.” He said, finally revealing the truth, his tone smug, “This missile was a fake.”

Chris and Sheva froze as they heard that, looking at each other before looking back at him.

“Then we can just stop the real one! There’s more agents than just us-“ Sheva reaffirmed herself, shaking off the disbelief with a firm look in her eyes.

“Oh no, you still don’t get it.” He interrupted, “The launch happened a couple of seconds ago. Welcome to my world.”

A gust of air flew past him, and into the faces of the two agents. You had done it, you successfully finished the plan. It was so flawless, so utterly perfect. Coughing and sputtering ensued as they stared at him, backing away slowly. A helicopter was approaching their location rapidly as well.

“If you’ll excuse me.” Albert taunted once more, stepping onto the helicopter, “I have a new world to see to.”

He practically laughed as he waved almost mockingly to the two agents as he stepped further into the now retreating heli, watching as they coughed and sputtered while trying to get out of the volcano. But all he could think about was returning back to base to finally meet up with you.

You had arrived sooner than he did, merely watching as others around you coughed and almost choked on the air before falling silent. Their bodies becoming accustomed to their new found strength and abilities slowly and painfully. You were waiting for Albert to arrive to see if he made it out ok, you were sure he did, but that didn’t stop the worry clogging your throat.

You felt him before you saw him. His big strong arms captured you close to his chest, finally his dream was fully realized. A world where only the strong would survive and he would make all of them stronger. Because you taught him that humanity he swore he didn’t have. Because of that, he wanted to make humans stronger, no need for survival of the fittest when you have love.

“My dearest.” He chuckled, you leaning back into his chest to look up at him, “You did it. We did it.”

“Al…” You replied, turning around to stare up at him chest to chest, eyes staring wide up at him, “Honey…Where is your shirt?”

He paused before laughing in surprise, pulling you up to his face and kissing you deeply. His hand cradling your face gently as you kissed back just as enthusiastically.

“To be married in the new world…” His voice carried along the wind, softly. After everything he still had you.

“To the person who gave me love unconditionally.”

He held your hands, staring down at you lovingly.

“My dearest…I will make sure you will love the happiest life with me here.”

“I know I can’t get you back to your home…but…” He trailed off, not finding the words he could say.

“You’ve already made here feel like home.” You said, watching him trying to find the words, “You are my home.”

He smiled at you and nodded, not knowing what to say, his hands frozen against your’s.

“You’ve turned my nowhere into here. And here into home.” You continued, your hands leaving his to reach up to his face. Softly cradling his jaw and brushing against his cheeks.

“You’re my home too…” He confessed, staring down at you fondly, one hand coming up to hold your hand.

“We’ll be together forevermore.” He promised and you knew he intended to keep it.

He made a whole new world with you and he loved it, and everything you two accomplished together. Even if it meant a stronger Chris would be after him, he didn’t care. You were his, and he was your’s. Maybe he can make Chris an unwilling witness to the wedding.

Do you have any headcanons for Wesker if he ever met and interact with someone having the same personality and point of view as him ?

i had an idea for this and then i forgot so these headcanons r me speaking out of my ass 😭 hope you enjoy anyways

⚠︎︎⚠︎︎⚠︎︎⚠︎︎⚠︎︎⚠︎︎⚠︎︎⚠︎︎⚠︎︎⚠︎︎⚠︎︎⚠︎︎⚠︎︎

Honestly? He respects it big time. You understand why he has to show the world Uroboros. You get that the planet needs to leave only the strong in order to survive.

He’d even offer you to join him and help with his plans. You’d be a very valuable asset in his eyes.

Now, personality wise? Wesker just sees it as another opportunity for him to convince you to work with him. He’ll tell you about all the benefits you will reap and how you’re a very special person in his eyes.

After you’ve been working with him for a while he grows a bit fond of you? Wesker tends to somewhat cling to people he values, especially when they’re similar to him. Over time Albert will communicate with you more and will gradually put you in a higher position with more access to information about various viruses and such.

Knowing you’re one of the few people who really see why he has to accomplish this ‘mission’, he makes you his partner of sorts. You go almost anywhere and everywhere with him. You are a valuable asset and to him you are not someone who can simply be replaced.

He doesn’t see a need to manipulate you like he does with Excella. If you’re just like him, you know what needs to be done and he likes that. You’re simple to handle and it takes a certain weight off his shoulders he didn’t know he had in the first place. You seem to make him.. calmer in a way? It’s less work for him and he can only thank you for that.

You’re probably the closest thing Albert has to a friend. Whether you want to further that or not is your choice. Either way, you may just get away with it. Being so similar to him gives you some advantages.

Indifference and Excella

Today I'd like to talk about an issue like indifference and its consequences. But we won't talk about whether it's bad or not, I just want to discuss how Excella's indifference changed the history of all the following games.

Excella had known Wesker since about 2003, but had been directly close to him since about 2006, when she gained control of Tricell Inc. From 2006 to 2009, she was close to him, through which she began to experience romantic feelings that blinded her critical thinking. But even without the crush, she was indifferent to what kind of person he was, and that probably always annoyed him in people (Wesker's second report states how he hates people who elevate others only for their background and not for their personal accomplishments. Excella exalted Wesker perhaps not even for his research but for his looks, that is, she did not read between the lines at all and did not pay attention to who was actually standing in front of her).

Being indifferent to his personality, she did not notice at all, so unstable man was next to her. The object of her lust had a huge bouquet of psychological problems and inferiority complexes, which he hid behind a mask of calmness.

However, even this mask gave a crack in re5, you can tell by the animation of the sudden outburst of anger.

gif by

But while in re5 he's angry because his plan is slowly falling apart, in the Lost in Nightmares DLC, it's much deeper than that...

He just learned the truth about his life, and his anger is probably directed at that fact. He's angry at the truth and the fact that his past continues to haunt him (Chris and Jill). His past in the form of Umbrella, who he ran away from, has also caught up with him again, turning out to be the truth he had to face. Because of his pretense and “calm” image, he never learned to deal with his emotions, and I'm surprised that Excella never noticed it, since he must have been angry when the cockroaches mutated on his ship.

Based on all of this, Excella hasn't been paying attention to the fact that the person next to her isn't what she thinks he is. Chris is blind to Wesker's psychological problems too and he is clearly not the person who would suggest he go to a psychiatrist, but he, unlike Excella, has good reasons for this. For example, he's blinded by his resentment toward Wesker (for the mansion, for kidnapping Jill, and so on), he's also blinded by hatred. But Excella treated Wesker well, was directly next to him, and still missed the fact that everything in his character screams that he needs help.

Yes, if someone had offered him psychological help, he obviously wouldn't have liked it, but he would have realized anyway that someone had shown him attentiveness. He would have felt that someone cares about something much deeper in him than his external image, and maybe that would have made a difference.

Just imagine that ONE caring person could have changed the course of further history by showing of the right attention. Especially if this person had appeared long before re5, for example in 2006, when Wesker was the most psychologically unstable because he learned the truth from Spencer. Feeling that someone didn't just sympathize with him, but wanted to help him deal with an deep problem, perhaps he would have made other decisions in the future.

After all, in fact, Wesker is not so much interested in Uroboros and power, as in getting people from it who would be equal to him and consider him. His main problem is a sense of detachment, as if he is superfluous, different from everyone else as a white crow, and so he needs a society made up of white crows like him. He strives to stop feeling "different". And for the sake of this, he has made the mistaken decision to “make others like him”, because he considers "ordinary" people unworthy.

However, he turns a blind eye to the fact that all these people he considers unworthy have a chance to merge with Uroboros and become like him. So it's the same "unworthy" people, just in a different cover, you know? This is another fact that proves that he doesn't care what kind of people will become the Uroboros users, he wants that they just exist. It's important to him that there are people like him.

And if just ONE person in his past had shown genuine empathy for his personality, advising him to see a specialist, maybe the whole RE story would have gone differently. There would be no Jill kidnapping, no Uroboros, no biological weapons and the organizations responsible for them, because Wesker, based on his words, is disgusted by war and pestilence. There would be no reason for him to do all this and pursue his dream through the dirty ways. His dream are of a world without decadence, a utopia where there is no destruction. And biological weapons are precisely the tools of war, pestilence and destruction. If he had other goals, Wesker would have gone up against BOW, and knowing how well he was able to counter his competitors, the bioterrorists wouldn't stand a chance.

Let's not forget that Wesker developed many weapons against bioweapons, the blueprints for which were later found by Blue Umbrella ("Albert System Weapon"). So even being a bioterrorist involuntarily, he developed means against BOW, indirectly speaking out against his own work

Draw your own conclusions, I was just sharing my thoughts on indifference and how Excella's blind love contributed to the situation <3

Chapter 47: Exenuating Circumstances

A week had passed since Alex had abducted my precious lotus. Things around the facility were feeling heavy. Gale and Jill had been distant from others. Arjuna hadn't returned to Phoenix Corps.

"Albert, please, you must get some rest! You haven't taken a break at all since Tabitha was taken. Even a god can be run ragged." Excella said, injecting my stabilizer into my arm as I stared through piles upon piles of research.

"Enough! I shall rest when I deem it necessary!" I said, turning my head to glare daggers into my moron of an assistant.

"But Albert, I'm only trying to help get your mind off..." She said as I snarled, grabbing her by her twigish neck.

"Off what!?! Do you mean my kidnapped wife? who happens to be around midterm of pregnancy with three of my  children? That the fact stands our only form of contact is in a coma in our medical bay. The worst part is that he was under Alex's control due to her installing a sleeper microchip clearly based on Sergeis technology. The only one we had was stolen three months prior." I growled, noticing her eyes echoing in fear.

"Wesker! He is awake!" Jill said as she walked into my office.

I dropped Excella and faced Jill. Her face was behind her crow mask. She sounded as emotionless as I had when  confronting Excella.

"Show me!" I ordered storming out of mine and Tabitha's lab.

Me and Jill quickly arrived at the medical bay housing agent Nighthawk. Arjuna was in the corner of the room, his fingers interlocked and chin resting on them. Steve stood adjusting the medicine dripping into Nighthawk's veins.

Nighthawk's face was forlorn as he looked away from me. I noticed his eyes were no longer grey and had a spark of life. There was nothing but dread emanating from the agent.

"Tell me nighthawk, what connection do you have to my sister?" I spoke, folding my arms.

My eyes trained on to the sullen man as he finally spoke, "I'll start in the beginning. To start, my name is Alecto, as everyone in this room is aware I was an Umbrella Experiment under project A.C.R.O.H. The woman who raised and birthed me was the project lead. However, unbeknownst to me, she was but a surrogate at Spencer's orders."

"That sounds like something he would do, Continue." I said through gritted teeth.

With a heavy sigh, the agent continued, "I learned of this just after the Christmas party. There was an intruder in the forest surrounding the  lodge. The security chief, Billy, went out to investigate. I took the north and  west portions of the forests while he covered the remaining directions. I ended up on the outside of the airstrip. That was where I saw this freaky B.O.W.  it was mutated weirdly and damn near invisible. If it weren't for my hawk like vision, I probably would have been killed. The thing had a glowing pustule that once I destroyed it, the creature died."

Arjuna just stood up and exited the room. It was clear he was deeply affected by this whole ordeal. I heard a light almost choked back sob, Nighthawk.

"I was snuck up upon by a woman in white. She stabbed my neck with a syringe, and the next thing I knew, I was in an unknown med bay that was different from Phoenix Corps. As soon as I realized I was captured, I tried to escape. The moment I broke free from my bindings, an alarm rang out. The room filled with gas, and I ended up on the ground. The woman in white stepped into the home holding a remote."

(Flash back Nighthawks pov)

"Now now, birdy. I wouldn't try and fly the nest so soon. After all the wounds from your surgery haven't fully healed." The woman said coldly.

I pushed myself up using my wings to enforce my balance, "Screw you! Just who the hell do you think you are?"

"My name is Alex, and your name is Alecto. As much as it is to have my blood working under that so-called Phoenix, you will be my greatest asset to achieving parts of my goal." She  said, clicking a button on the remote sending shockwaves of pain through my spine.

I dropped once more curling up in a ball. Haze was creeping along the edges of my vision. I felt my rage shoving away the haze. Once again, I stood my mentors words echoing through my ears. Lady Tabitha's voice on my mind as well.

"It seems my caged canary has some fight in him. Is this the project A.C.R.O.H programming I designed or your meger training from that weak bitch you call boss." Alex said pressing the button my sight going even more hazy.

"My commander is a hundred times the woman you are. I'd lay my life down for her." I cough as pain surged through my eyes and down my nervous system.

"Then how about your boytoy? Archer is his code name, is it naught?" She laughed, walking over to me pressing her stelleto heel into my neck.

"You leave him out of this! He is hardly involved in anything!" I shouted my wings, opening quickly, shoving her away.

"My lady, are you alright?" An extremely pale individual with white hair barged in.

"Yes, my dear servant. I'm sure my spawn isn't able to harm me. At least not with his beloved boytoys elder sibling under my control. I'm glad I was able to test this new control device on you first." Alex laughed as I felt bile rise in my throat.

"So this is my brothers boyfriend? How tragic. I was hoping for him to find normalcy. However, it seems he has chosen to bind himself to an experiment." He said, staring deep into my eyes.

I bowed my head, trying to hide my gaze. His eyes were a sickening lifeless grey. He was being controlled by this woman. I couldn't stop the haze from taking over my vision anymore. I sighed as thoughts of Arjuna and my commander pulled me out of my silence.

"What are your demands!" I choked out my body growing increasingly numb.

"I'll put it in simple terms that even a bird brain like you could understand. I want your boss, in my possession. Once you have achieved this, I'll not only remove my control over you but your partners brother as well. You both will be free to do as you see fit." Alex said as the fog drowning my eyes  slowly faded, "As an act of good faith, I've lessened the intensity of the sleeper chip."

"What do you intend to do to my commander?" I said, standing up defeat flushed across my face.

"That is not a matter concerning you, but rather between her and myself. You have only but to concern yourself with your task. Follow me. I shall brief you and get you sent off to Phoenix Corps." Alex said as she walked away from me, beckoning for me to follow.

(Current day Wesker P.O.V)

"That's the basis of the interaction when I became her pawn. I put the safety of my partners sibling and my own well-being ahead of my commanders. I managed a place a backdoor in Alex's plan however. Just before I was shot, I tried to hand a special calling card to commander Tabitha. Alex took it, saying she'll destroy it once she had landed." Alecto said, faced buried shamefully in his hands.

"A calling card! What is that supposed to do?" I growled at the idocity of this child.

"Is that any way to treat your beloved wifes subordinates?" A cold threatening voice spoke from behind me.

"Sorry Wesker, I had destroyed one of the calling cards Tabs gave me. We need help tracking her down. Cryo Wolf is the Phoenix Corps. equivalent of agent H.U.N.K." Gale said, walking into the medbay.

Beside him was a tall, well-built man who had dark salt and pepper streaks look to be caused by years of stress and trauma. I was reading in Tabitha's files the days leading up to her abduction.

There was one mention of a wolf. The details were vague, and it was a parodied version of some of Spencer's notes regarding my precious lotus. As I recalled the line, I stared at the man.

"The god and servant of my underworld deserve a three-headed wolf to protect their domain." I heard Spencer's voice play in my head.

"Tell me, are you the three-headed wolf Spencer created to guard my wife and i?" I spoke, lowering my glasses.

"Yes, in Spencer's notes, I am Cerebrus. Manufactured by Dr James Marcus and Oswell Spencer. The dogs were modeled after the training I had received. By nineteen ninety-eight, I was Spencer's private watch dog. Now I am Tabitha's ultimate fuck you card. I show up, and it's scorched earth that point forward. " The man said, walking past Gale and over to nighthawk.

"Hey, teach... I must look like a damn failure in your eyes right now." Nighthawk said, turning his head away from all of us.

"Eyes front and center Alecto. I know I didn't teach you to cower before your failures." Cerebrus barked out his voice radiating authority, "What did I teach you, soldier?"

Nighthawk ground his teeth then faced us, his irises a blaze. His hawk amber eyes filled with a renewed determination. Nighthawk lifted his body up and swiftly exited the bed.

He took a knee in front of both me and Cryo Wolf, "Sir! You taught me that no matter the actions I partake in, there will always be a consequence. Be it positive or negative is dependent on me. I have let my shortcomings over whelm me, and I have fallen to my lowest point. Please allow me this mission to save my lady and to rise up once again."

"Unfortunately Alecto, you know that's not my decision to make. I'm not a controlling member of Phoenix Corps. I believe it falls to our ladies' husband, Dr. Wesker." Cerebrus spoke, looking towards me.

I looked down upon Nighthawk's kneeling figure. Things stood out to me much more clearly than before. His hair was a damn near match to  Alex's almost unnatural blonde, and his facial features were very similar to hers as well. Without a doubt, biologically, he was Alex's.

Bird's being bonded to a motherly figure should have had him loyal to Alex's lacky, that she knocked up for the sake of Umbrellas experiments. However, here my nephew sat bowed at me feet, pledging loyalty to my wife instead. Tabitha's conviction and pride shone through Nighthawk. His conditioning and programming were drilled into him by project A.C.R.O.H. seemed like a far distant blip in his timeline.

"You really care for your aunt, don't you, Alecto?" I asked, crossing my arms.

"Yes, sir! Phoenix Corps. is my home, and while I've only met her a few short months ago, I'm willing to lay down my life for her." Alecto said firmly, staring into my eyes.

I felt a dark chuckle escape my chest, Alex, dearest sister, how much of a fool you are. Trying to take the reigns of someone loyal to my wife has been the start of your downfall.

"Raise your head, nephew. I'm going to need the best that Phoenix Corps. has to offer to rescue my dear lotus. Now Alex said she left some way for you to contact her. Is this true?" I asked, unfolding my arms pushing up my sunglasses.

"Unfortunately, she had only contacted me through my Phoenix Corps. coms." Alecto said as he stood up, "and I believe it was destroyed when I fell after being shot."

"But that's not all, hawk." Arjuna said, walking into the room laying a box on the closest table, "This was hidden in your bag. I knew something was off because I packed our bags, and I didn't place this in them."

"Bug... I need to do this. I shall save your family and bring your brother home." Alecto said, walking over to Arjuna.

"I know hawk, but until then, sleep in the barracks... while I know you were being controlled. I need time to sort my emotions." Arjuna said, taking Alectos face into his hand.

"I understand Juna bug. I'll give you the space you need." Nighthawk said, opening the box revealing a black glass phone.

"That will be enough! Cerebrus, if you would please follow me." I said, taking the black phone from my nephew as I left the room. Taking the phone from Nighthawk.

Cerebrus followed me. The winding halls to mine and Tabitha's lab. He was quiet and stoic. His eyes were a freezing blueish grey, his gaze chilling the back of my neck.

Once we arrived at the lab, he spoke, " Once you speak to your sister, I have intel. I just couldn't speak of it with our subordinates."

I sat on my office chair and turned on the phone. I waited a few moments when it started to ring.

"Alex! Where is she?" I said into the receiver as I answered the phone.

"Now now dear brother, we both know that's not how negotiations work." Alex said, laughing slightly, "Especially under these circumstances, don't you agree."

I sigh the weight of the situation, adding a continuous flow of frustration to my sanity. Cerebrus stood on the edge of my desk, a scowl on his face. His jaw tightened when Alex's voice came through. Had he heard what she said?

"What do you want for her return?" I asked, opening my laptop.

"Why Albert is it not obvious? I want in on what you're planning. Uroboros, isn't that what you've been calling it?" She said an air of smugness drifts through the open phone line.

"You were working with Excella, weren't you?" I said through a layer of stoicism.

"Seems your wifes perception has rubbed off on you. But don't blame your poor assistant she has a terribly low resistance to liquor. I must admit Albert forcing natural selections hand is inspired. I simply just want to help you be a backup plan in case anything happens." She said, almost feigning concern.

"So if I send you a copy of my research and a set of vials of Uroboros in its various stages, you'll return her to me." I said, pinching the bridge of my nose.

"Did I say that was all I wanted, dear brother?" Alex said, "That's my condition to allow you to speak with her every week. She already submitted to her conditions for that."

"DO NOT FUCK WITH ME ALEX!" I snarled loudly.

She merely laughed, "Albert, how Spencer would be rolling over in his cell in hell if he saw your display of emotion. I require six weeks with Tabitha. Once my needs are satisfied, I'll send her and your progeny back to you."

"Fine... however, if there is a single hair out of place, I'll find you and rip your heart from your chest." I sighed a raging migraine clouding my mind.

"You were always the more reasonable one of the siblings." Alex said, "I'll have my assistant contact you in regards to obtaining the virus samples, but I believe you have a more pressing concern on your mind. I'll hand her the phone." Alex said as a shuffling noise echoed through the speaker.

"Wesk..." My lotus's voice weakly spoke.

"My lotus, are you alright?" I asked, tensing at how she sounded.

"I'm alive, and so are the kids... in my mind, that's the best I can ask for in this situation." She said, her voice cracking.

"I'm going to find a way to get you back. Just be patient, my love. I won't let you be a prisoner like you were in Russia." I said only to have a breathy chuckle come through.

"She won't hurt me... she needs me... well, at least the Angelis and angelis antibodies I'm producing. Tell me, how's the guard dog?" She asked, her voice perking up slightly.

"How did?" I started to question.

"Like Gale or me would take this sitting down. Certain chain of events, if you know what I mean." She said as she started to cough.

"Why do you sound so sick, my lotus?" I asked at her sudden coughing bout.

"A progenitor virus destabilizing agent... I receive a dose about once every three days, so I can't access my mutations. It also forces my body to produce more antibodies." She said as she caught her breath.

"She's trying to make B.O.Ws with your Angelis virus and keep them stable with your antibodies then. How is she extracting?" I asked a flurry of questions racing through my mind.

"Breast milk... Alex overloaded my body with hormones and vitamins to induce lactation. She is making me breastfeed her chosen vessels for Angelis." She snarled quietly.

"That's enough for now. Now Albert, don't worry. I won't allow any harm to come to them. I'll let her talk to you in a few days once my assistant has confirmation of the transportation of Uroboros." Alex said, ending the phone call.

Red... that is all I saw as I heard Alex's voice, and it was deepened when the line had gone silent. I as gently as I could placed the phone on the desk. Standing up, I slammed my fist into the wood paneling of my office walls. Cracks formed, reaching the ceiling.

"I know where they are." Cerebrus said.

I stopped and turned to him. His ice like eyes pierced through the red I was seeing. He pulled out a USB stick and walked over to me. He extended his hand, burn scars scattered across his skin.

"Take this, and we can start planning her rescue. We are dealing with your sister after all. We need to be strategic about this." He said.

I took the silver USB drive and turned towards my computer. I'm won't fail this time. I will bring what's mine back. Alex should have known better.

Hold on, my precious lotus, I'll have you home soon.
