Just a reminder for fellow Luis stans, when he was at Umbrella he worked on the Nemesis project, not on the T-virus. It's definitely likely, considering that the Nemesis project resulted from mutations in the T-virus, that Luis was aware of it and knew how it worked, but I think we collectively forget sometimes that he didn't actually help make the T-virus or work on it or any of that. His role was researching and developing Nemesis and the NE-α Type parasitic species, specifically. He also worked in Europe, not in the US. Obviously you can have whatever headcanons you want about his involvement in the T-virus, the more the angstier, but canonically he wasn't a part of that research team and was most likely entirely isolated from the T-virus and its development.
