The Hunter α (alpha) was regarded as the first fully functional and marketable scratch-built B.O.W. created by Umbrella.[citation needed] It is created by combining reptilian DNA with a human embryo and administering the t-virus as a bonding agent. They possessed the limited capability to follow orders and possessed a reasonable level of intellect. In combat, they were both ruthless and vicious, relentlessly pursuing their prey until either they or it is dead. The first Alpha model was developed by Albert Wesker and William Birkin within the research facility under the Spencer estate in the Arklay Mountains.[citation needed] Despite the productive results of the Alpha, research continued in new models for the Hunter, resulting in several different models that would appear in the future.[1]
During the t-virus outbreak in Raccoon Forest, some Alpha-model Hunters were released by the resurrected James Marcus to eliminate Rebecca Chambers and Billy Coen when they were in the Management Training facility. There were also a good deal of these Hunters still stored in the Arklay Research Facility, where it appears that they went out hunting across the estate, at least one of them reaching the estate and slashing at wallpaper, evident in one of the rooms. Although highly reliable, the Alpha model eventually became obsolete with its newer variation; the MA-125 Hunter R.
[edit] Trivia
Originally they took two Colt Python shots to take down. But in the Director's Cut of Resident Evil, they only took one Colt Python shot to kill. They've only taken one magnum shot to kill ever since.
