Alex Wesker, is the twelfth of thirteen candidates for Project W, an early Umbrella program to create a "superior race of humans", to quote CEO Oswell E. Spencer.

HistoryEdit

Alex, was raised by Lord Oswell E. Spencer to become one of a superior breed of humans.^[2][3] The project involved the abduction of a number of children thought to be of "superior" DNA. The children would then be given the surname Wesker, in honor of the project's head researcher.^[3] Alex made a report on Project W on 28 August 1998, which states that before Albert Wesker faked his death, the project was at a 94% rate of success, but after the news of his death, the project went down to just 18%.^[4]

In Spencer's view, Alex was also one of his "loyal" remaining children that he had at his side.^[2] The brightest of them all, in Spencer's view and words,"so adept at absorbing the talents of others simply by observing them."^[5] Alex was conducting experiments at the South Seas at an island for Spencer.^[5] Alex researched and studied a virus for Spencer in order to find the secret to immortality for him.^[2][3][6] Out of all odds Alex accomplished this feat, but betrayed Spencer by disappearing and taking the results.^{[citation needed]}

At present, Alex's status is unknown. Whether being immortal, simply in hiding, or dead, Alex's exact fate has yet to be made clear.

TriviaEdit

• In the English translations of the Spencer's Memoirs files, Alex's gender is not stated, leading some to speculate that he could be a female. However, this is a result of poor localization and he is referred to as a man (男) quite blatantly in the original Japanese text.
