For film version, see Umbrella Corporation (film version).

The Umbrella Corporation, was a giant conglomerate which operated ruthlessly as a major international player in a number of markets; including pharmaceuticals and medical equipment along with top-secret operations utilizing genetic engineering and biological weaponry. The company also had a more benevolent public face for the ignorant masses, producing cosmetics, consumer products and foods.

A subsidiary of Umbrella, operated as a malevolent paramilitary organization,This division of the corporation maintained a highly trained security force capable of rescue, reconnaissance, and para-military operations. They used a variety of vehicles, including HUMVEEs. Complementing this security force was an air wing, which maintained a fleet of AV-8B Harrier jump jets, UH-60 Blackhawks, C-130 Hercules water-landing capable cargo planes, CH-53 Sea Stallion cargo helicopters for transporting prisoners and Hughes MH-6 'Little Bird' attack helicopters. The corporation utilized these resources in order to secure and protect its assets, as well as its high profile employees.

History of UmbrellaEdit

Founding (1968-1998)Edit

Umbrella was founded in 1968 by Lord Oswell E. Spencer; Sir Edward Ashford and Dr. James Marcus after the discovery of the Progenitor virus the previous year. Another starting member, though not considered a co-founder, was Marcus' student Brandon Bailey, who was with Marcus and Spencer when they first discovered the Stairway of the Sun flower.

Shortly after Umbrella's founding, Ashford died from exposure to the virus,^[1] and Brandon was effectively-exiled to the Umbrella Africa Laboratory, where he send virus samples to Dr. Marcus' newly built research center.

In 1969, Edward's son Alexander began the construction of the Antarctic Base, attached to which was a research centre where he began development of his "Code: Veronica" project. This was his research into the gene that controls intelligence. Two years later, Alfred and Alexia would be born from his research.

Seeking new information on Progenitor, Marcus had several of his students infected with the virus. They were however, unable to survive its effects and died, their corpses dumped in the Water Treatment facility.

Marcus injected leeches with Progenitor in 1978, and bore witness to the creation of a new strain which he named the "Tyrant virus".^[2] Later this year, the Training facility would be closed and Marcus' two prized students: Albert Wesker and William Birkin, would be moved to the nearby Arklay Laboratory.

Yet again in 1978, did Marcus find evidence of tampering. In his increasing paranoia brought on by his quest for glory and isolation from mankind, he wrote in his diary that Albert and William were the only humans he trusted. His trust in them would betray him ten years later however, as the two would - under direct orders from Spencer, himself - have him assassinated by a Special forces unit and dumped in the Water Treatment Facility. Credit for "t" would be taken by William. His trust in William would also render hiding the source of "t" - the Leeches - useless.

By now however, Birkin had little care for "t", having discovered the G-virus in the body of Lisa Trevor, the daughter of George, still kept in the estate as a guinea pig for their twisted experiments.

1998Edit

Marcus was completely restored by the Queen Leech. Marcus would exact his revenge on Spencer and Umbrella by releasing "t" into the Arklay Laboratory's water supply, turning the facility personnel into zombies and leaving the laboratory and mansion in complete chaos, allowing for the team's extremely dangerous research specimens to escape into the surrounding area.

Birkin and Wesker used this as a diversion for their own plans to leave Umbrella, taking their research with them. Wesker, having formed Raccoon City's elite S.T.A.R.S. unit two years previous, would develop a plan to lure the team to the Mansion and obtain battle data from the conflict that would surely follow. Although the Tyrant was deployed - leading Wesker to falsify his death in a realistic "unforeseen side-effects" of releasing it - both the laboratory and the rampaging Tyrant were destroyed by S.T.A.R.S. Alpha team before making its escape back to Raccoon City with a single Bravo team survivor.

Wesker was forced to go into hiding for a number of months, using his operative Ada Wong to carry out his objectives, including the recovery of Birkin's G-virus. Two months after the Arklay incident, William Birkin finally perfected the viral strain that he'd been toiling to achieve since obtaining Marcus' research so many years earlier. Birkin planned to use the virus to force the Umbrella Corporation into allowing him onto their executive board, but then changed his plans when he found that selling it directly to the U.S. Government would prove far more profitable - though this is based on Umbrella's opinion.

Umbrella deployed its elite U.S.S. Alpha team (a para-military black-operations unit created for Umbrella's most clandestine purposes) led by HUNK in a desperate bid to stop Birkin from handing over his ultimate creation. Although Birkin was mortally wounded in the ensuing conflict, and the G-virus was successfully recovered by HUNK's team, he was able to inject a remaining sample into his own body and devastate most of the team before it could make its escape.

This event would be indirectly responsible for unleashing the t-Virus into Raccoon City. HUNK recovered a sample of the virus, extracted and gave it to Umbrella. While the Arklay incident had been relatively isolated and concealed from the public, and Umbrella's control over key government and law enforcement personnel had ensured that any record of what had occurred could be safely swept into obscurity, they were now faced with an entire city infected with "t" and a trail leading directly back to the Umbrella Corporation. This would prove exceedingly difficult, even for Umbrella, to make it simply disappear.

Umbrella fell from grace of September 24, 1998, when the t-Virus had turned a large amount of the population into Zombies. The morning after, the U.S. Government had the city limits bordered off by the military, whilst they began an investigation into the matter.

Umbrella itself was divided on the issue of Raccoon City. Its virologists within the limits spent their time researching a cure, whilst weapons researchers had experimental B.O.W.'s sent in to receive combat data on their effectiveness at killing civilians. The Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service (U.B.C.S.) was sent in to evacuate civilians, whilst "Monitors" installed within the four Delta Platoon's gathered the combat data, sacrificing their comrades to save their own lives, where they would receive a very generous sum for the data.

Meanwhile, some employees even turned on each other. Dr. Frost was killed by Monica for being in the way of a G-sample, whilst Yoko Suzuki - a Tyrant virus test subject used in an experiment two years earlier - lost her Umbrella security card to the woman, who would soon walk right into the infected Birkin and become a host for his offspring.

Former Umbrella researcher Greg Mueller had a University professor create a cure - Daylight - before the Outbreak, knowing what would soon happen. He was wanted by Umbrella, not due to "Daylight", but because of an experiment Greg took with him when he left - an experimental Tyrant. "Thanatos" was activated and sent outside to kill U.B.C.S. personnel attempting to claim it. Unbeknownst to him or his creation, the supervisor "Nicholai Zinoviev" had infiltrated the building. Whilst discussing his plan with a few survivors, Nicholai shot through the ceiling, through Greg's head, and out of his neck - death was instantaneous. The University was destroyed by C-4 charges, whilst the Tyrant was killed by "Daylight" nearby. A fitting end to the beast, one of the ingredients of the anti-virus was the creature's very blood.

Elsewhere in Raccoon, an executive had a U.B.C.S. team on the lookout for renegade U.S.S. member Rodriguez, who had stolen the executive's "package". Rodriguez was waiting for a researcher - Linda - to return from an Umbrella facility as she left something important behind. This was AT1521 - Umbrella's answer to Daylight. After recovering it, another researcher - Carter - released the experimental "Tyrant R" to kill off the Hunter R running amok. Although seemingly taking orders from Carter without question, it had already counted the man as a threat - a bomb had been planted in the monster, and Carter had the detonator. The creatures betrayal led to the destruction of AT1521, leaving Linda to have to remember how to re-synthesize it all by herself.

Eventually, Umbrella was unable to delay the Presidents decision to authorize Mission Code XX. With little time left, all paramilitary forces were ordered to clear out. Carlos Oliveira and Jill Valentine were rescued by Barry Burton, whilst Nicholai attempted to escape solo by helicopter. Rodriguez was forced to abandon Linda and pull out, leading to an attempted shoot down by Tommy. The rocket missed, but the helicopter's sudden emergency maneuvers led to the loss of the "package", revealing a horrific creation known as "Nyx". The U.B.C.S. team, and Tyrant R were defeated by Nyx and absorbed into its body. In the end Nyx would eventually be killed by a group of survivors, who successfully escaped Raccoon City by HUMVEE with Linda.

Still, this was not the last story to tell of Umbrella's actions in the city. Leader of Umbrella's paramilitary organizations, Sergei Vladimir, stole the U.M.F.-013 storage system - also known as the Umbrella Archives. Ada Wong who had retrieved the G- virus was rushing to leave the city, but instead clashed with the revived Tyrant R. Though in the end she defeated the creature and escaped the city on Sergei Vladimar's helicopter, witnessing the destruction of Raccoon City.

It would take many years, and many more tragedies to finally gather enough evidence to condemn Umbrella.

Decline (1998-2002)Edit

Umbrella's fortunes failed to improve in the time shortly after the Raccoon City incident. But with a barrage of false witnesses and Code XX having destroyed all evidence, all blame for the incident was carefully shifted to the U.S. Government. Despite Linda and Yoko's appearance at the Supreme court, Umbrella survived.

On Sheena Island, undercover investigator, Ark Thompson, operating on behalf of Leon S. Kennedy, succeeded in destroying Umbrella's Tyrant production plant after Vincent Goldman, The Umbrella Director of the island, unleashed the t-Virus on its citizens. Shortly afterwards, when Claire Redfield broke into Umbrella's Paris facilities in search of her brother, she was captured and sent to Umbrella's illegal prison camp on Rockfort Island. While there, she witnessed Albert Wesker attack the island in search of the t-Veronica virus, another descendant of Progenitor. Escaping the island, she found herself trapped at the Antarctic Base, where Edward Ashford's granddaughter, Alexia Ashford, awoke from a self-induced coma with a desire to establish a new order.

With the destruction of Sheena Island, Rockfort Island and the Antarctic Base, most of Umbrella's illegitimate operations had been shut down. This, combined with the loss of so many of Umbrella's research and security personnel throughout each of the disastrous incidents, left Umbrella with little chance of reforming said operations or regaining the years of research lost thus far.

The U.S. STRATCOM was involved in clean-up operations, such as the theft of the t+G virus by former Umbrella executive in R&D, Morpheus D. Duvall, and his plans to create a new order based around his obsessive ideals of 'beauty'. The loss of the experimental virus and the liner "Spencer Rain" would be in vain.

Collapse (2003-2004)Edit

The final blow to the company would come in February of 2003, when a private anti-biohazard paramilitary force was sent to the Caucasus in the Russian Federation in response to rumors of a new B.O.W being developed by Umbrella. Leading the attack were Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine, who eventually reached the Russian facility's underground chamber, where they fought Umbrella's final weapon, T-A.L.O.S., after it was dispatched by Sergei Vladimir. At the same time, Wesker managed to infiltrate the facility a few hours before Chris and Jill's arrival, and had one final encounter with Sergei, who then mutated into a new, virus-infected monster. While Chris and Jill destroyed T-A.L.O.S., Wesker managed to extract all data from Umbrella's Red Queen supercomputer, while also erasing any of the memory left within the computer itself, in order to use it against Spencer, thus bringing Umbrella to its knees.

Umbrella was finally found guilty soon after the Umbrella Russia incident, after an anonymous tip-off by Albert Wesker, using the data he had extracted. The U.S. Government suspended Umbrella's market trading license pending further investigation into their business practices. While this investigation must have already provided Umbrella with severe financial problems, a worldwide manhunt for surviving founder Oswell E. Spencer sealed the organization's fate.

Albert Wesker kept the stolen data in his secret hideout. Wesker had always desired power more than anything in the world, seeking to dominate all for his own gain. He saw Umbrella as power incarnate. His computer had every Umbrella asset stored away safely, and he planned to one day remake the company under his leadership. This new Umbrella would lead the human race into a new, improved era, fixing a world Wesker saw as unacceptable. His vision for the future would go beyond that of Spencer, but he would later discover that they both had much in common, as Spencer had made Wesker who he had become.

With trading suspended, Umbrella's shares quickly collapsed, and the company was left bankrupt. With the corporation shut down, a vast amount of Bio-Weapon and virus samples appeared on the black market, birthing an age of Bio-terrorism. The ultimate irony being that the world was safer with Umbrella than without it.

Umbrella's viral legacyEdit

Almost a year after Resident Evil 4 Umbrella's t-Virus was used in a bioterrorism attack on Harvardville Airport, resulting in a mass infection of the entire terminal. However this time it was caused by a company known as Wilpharma. One of its key employees Frederic Downing, had stolen both the T and G virus samples from his previous employer Umbrella, and fled Raccoon City.

Umbrella's other monstrosity, the G-virus was also used in the same outbreak, and was injected into the body of Curtis Miller. Curtis wanted the information about the Raccoon City outbreak released, so everyone who had wronged him and his deceased family would be arrested. Unknown to him Frederic Downing was using him to collect G-virus combat data for a buyer wanting the T and G-virus’s. However the conspiracy was uncovered by the efforts of Leon S. Kennedy, Claire Redfield and the S.R.T, during the deadly outbreak.

Due to Umbrella's use of medicines developed by other pharmaceutical companies, the Global Pharmaceutical Organization worked to prevent further harm from being done to the names of innocent pharmaceutical organizations, and to prevent the further distribution of B.O.W's, by forming the Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance, or "B.S.A.A.", after Umbrella's collapse in 2003. Among the eleven founding members were none other than Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine.

Company Motto & SloganEdit

According to James Marcus, the Umbrella's 'employee pledge' is stated as being "Obedience Breeds Discipline, Discipline Breeds Unity, Unity Breeds Power, Power is Life". It is unknown if this is the motto for the public or if it is used purely within the company, due to its ominous sound. In the game Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles, Albert Wesker states that Umbrella's motto was "Preserving the health of the people". This also appears on Umbrella's official website in the non-canon Inserted Evil ARG.

ProductsEdit

A contributing factor to Umbrella's success were their non-lethal commercial products. Such products include:

• Adravil: A paste-based drug with the motto of "Quick and Easy Relief: Adravil".^[3] It may be a reference to the real drug Advil.

• Safsprin: An apparent Aspirin-based brand. This brand's motto is "The Common Cure".^[3]

• Uspirim: Another Umbrella Aspirin-based product, introduced in Alyssa Ashcroft's good ending in Resident Evil Outbreak.^[4]

• Aqua Cure: Umbrella's crowning public achievement, Aqua Cure is an ointment used on open wounds that made the company famous worldwide. It is considered to be Umbrella's primary public product and is very effective. It is most likely the recurring item "First Aid Spray" that appears throughout the series. It is assumed that the t-Virus is used on this product to re-accommodate the damaged cells, though no side-effect has been shown from this product.

• Valifin: A non-canon medication mentioned in the novelization Resident Evil: Zero Hour by S.D. Perry, Valifin is an experimental pediatric heart medication that has a side-effect of renal failure.

It is interesting to note that according to Rebecca Chambers in the Resident Evil Remake, most of the products are "home grown in Raccoon City".

It is also interesting to note that all herbs are from Raccoon City. This suggests Umbrella cultivated these herbs, explaining how they ended up in an Umbrella base in Antarctica.

• Sporting Int. Magnum Custom Edition A mix between a Desert Eagle and a Colt M1911, it uses .50AE rounds.

• Incinerator Unit A gun that uses some parts of the Colt M4A1 Carbine and fires a long range flame.

• Semi-Automatic Anti-Tank Rifle A large rifle used to destroy light armored vehicles. It can punch through 3 cm. of reinforced steel.

• Spark Shot A gun that fires electric shocks to control experimental animals.

• Mine Thrower A gun with specialized darts that will detonate if something pass near them, or attach themselves to a creature.

• Elite Python A modified version of the Colt Python made by Umbrella.

• Linear Launcher A Shoulder-Mounted cannon that fires extremely powerful blast of plasma.

• Charged Particle Rifle A gun that charges particles with negative or positive shocks that can electrocute somebody or deactivate electric shields and damage electric artifacts due to the EMP emitted by it.
• Umbrella Magnum This model is actually a Raging Bull .44 Magnum, it is called the Magnum Revolver

There are also a multitude of other products seen briefly throughout all of the Resident Evil games including, soft drinks, cosmetics, and glasses. In Resident Evil Outbreak in Hellfire scenario, a special item can be found called "Umbrella noodle", when found it gives the description : "Umbrella, Inc. makes food too...Tastes pretty good too" stating that Umbrella also manufactured food of its own brand.

Known facilitiesEdit

North AmericaEdit

• Arklay Laboratory: A Laboratory located in Raccoon Forest, way up in the Arklay Mountains camouflaged as a mansion designed by George Trevor for Oswell E. Spencer. Umbrella conducted most of it's t-Virus experiments there, including the creation of the Tyrant.

• Umbrella Research Center: Also known as the Umbrella Research Center, this building was managed by James Marcus for the purpose of training future Umbrella employees. It was officially closed down in 1978, though Marcus continued his research there until his assassination in 1988. An investigative unit was sent in 1998 to inspect the facility for reopening purposes.

• Unnamed Chicago Laboratory: The facility John Clemens, Ada Wong's deceased boyfriend, worked for before transferring to Arklay Laboratory. William Birkin used to visit this branch to conduct a monthly training seminar.

• Raccoon City Underground Laboratory: A facility established during the late 1980s for the sole purpose of William Birkin's G-virus project. It can only be entered through a cable car system within Raccoon City's sewers, and is also connected to the Research Center.

• Incineration Disposal Plant P-12A: A facility hidden within an abandoned factory in Raccoon City, used to chemically destroy dead and unusable specimens. Potent contributor to the release of the virus into the city.

• Raccoon City Corporate Headquarters: A large facility used to test the combat capabilities of B.O.W.s. An experimental serum was developed there to combat the t-Virus.

• Raccoon General Hospital: Umbrella maintained a small laboratory in the basement of the city hospital. This lab contained Hunters in containment tanks, as well as equipment capable of synthesizing a vaccine against the t-Virus.

• Classified research outpost: Located in the area of what used to be Raccoon City, this facility was built after the area was destroyed and gated off. Not much is known about this facility. But what is known is that Umbrella conducts testing and research there and monitors the gated area and surrounding area for any possible biohazard threats or trespassers.

EuropeEdit

• Sheena Island: A small European island privately owned by Umbrella. The Island was commanded by the ruthless Umbrella Executive Director, Vincent Goldman. It housed a community of researchers working for the company and was secretly the site of a Tyrant Plant which was mass-producing the T-103 models.

• Umbrella Medical, Paris: The headquarters of Umbrella in Europe. Claire Redfield infiltrates this facility briefly, only to be captured by its chief of security, Rodrigo Juan Raval. Christine Henri is likely the Research and Development Head Manager of this division.

• Umbrella Europe Sixth Laboratory: The facility responsible for the creation of the NE-α Type parasitic organism that allowed the creation of Nemesis-T Type. Part of the Umbrella Europe branch in Paris.

• Caucasus Laboratory: An Umbrella facility disguised as a oil factory. It was at this facility that the T.A.L.O.S project was completed and later destroyed by Chris and Jill. The facility was also one of the locations where the Red Queen computer was held.

OtherEdit

• Rockfort Island: A solitary island which served as the site of Alfred Ashford's private residence and palace after he purchased the land and drove the villagers out. It also housed an "inescapable" prison camp, a Military Training Center for the Umbrella Security Service Unit (including a lab used to create B.O.W.s) and an airport.

• Antarctic Base: A facility established by Alexander Ashford for his Code: Veronica project. Later, Alexia Ashford, an offspring of the project, used the facility for her t-Veronica virus research.

• Umbrella Disposal Facility: A waste disposal facility on an unnamed island in the Atlantic Ocean. It was to this facility that Umbrella sent some of its worst failed experiments to be disposed of, but for unknown reasons the facility shut down. It was used as a base of operations by renegade Umbrella executive Morpheus D. Duvall.

• Umbrella Africa Laboratory: This facility was set up in the late 1960s by Umbrella Chemical, Inc. in secrecy. Built within the underground ruins of the Ndipaya Kingdom, only high-ranking Umbrella researchers and the remaining Ndipaya knew of its existence. After it closed down in 1998, the pharmaceutical enterprise, Tricell, Inc., under the guidance of Albert Wesker, claimed the abandoned facility and began creating their own, further underground. It was here where they further developed the Progenitor virus and began work on the "Uroboros Project".

Paramilitary unitsEdit

Umbrella owned and utilized several paramilitary units to ensure the stability of the company during their viral experimentation.

Umbrella Security forcesEdit

The Umbrella Security forces are the ones in charge of assuring security in Umbrella owned facilities. Many of it's agents were stationed at Rockfort and at the Antarctic Base. Most of the guards stationed at Rockfort Island and in the Antarctic Base became zombies. The only known member was Rodrigo Juan Raval. Their agents are most of the time seen wearing OD green BDU's with OD green caps and are most of the time armed with AK-47s. Their most notable unit was the 3rd Security unit,it was under the direct command of Rodrigo.

Umbrella Security ServiceEdit

The Umbrella Security Service, or U.S.S., is a secret unit that specializes in infiltration, protection, and extraction missions.

A squad of special forces commandos designated Alpha team attempted to steal a sample of the G-virus indirectly caused the release of the t-Virus into Raccoon City.^[5] Another squad, U.S.S. Delta Team, was eliminated by leeches aboard an Umbrella-owned train.^[6]

U.S.S. agents are trained at the Rockfort Island facility, which is also home to a descendant of one of Umbrella's founders.

One member of the U.S.S.; agent "HUNK", appears first in a mini-game in Resident Evil 2, where his goal is to reach an evacuation point with a sample of the G-virus Also it has not been confirmed that more than one of the team that was sent to retrieve the G-Virus survived the attack.

U.S.S. agents are always depicted in solid-color gray fatigues, wearing protective vests and gas masks, and are usually armed with MP5 submachine guns.

Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure ServiceEdit

The Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service, or U.B.C.S., specializes in rescue operations during biohazard outbreaks. The U.B.C.S. is composed of "nightmen," mostly former mercenaries and war criminals, recruited by Umbrella and trained to deal with "problems caused by illegal products." Their uniform consists of tactical vests, green shirts and tan or cream-colored slacks. They are usually armed with M4 Carbine.

The unit consists of about 120 operatives, divided between four platoons. They were sent to Raccoon City during the outbreak, although most of the U.B.C.S. members died. Known members of this force include Mikhail Victor, Carlos Oliveira and Nicholai Ginovaef, Murphy Seeker and Tyrell Patrick.

Monitors Edit

The Monitors are introduced in Resident Evil 3 and further fleshed out by documents in The Umbrella Chronicles. They are also known as "Observers" in the book Resident Evil: Archives. The Monitors are part of an internal espionage organization within Umbrella meant to monitor suspicious activity among its own employees, also known as Monitor. Monitors are usually placed throughout the corporation and maintain the image of normal employees in order to help them conduct their spy activities. Several Monitors were placed among the U.B.C.S., one of whom was Nicholai Zinoviev. Their orders range from spying on fellow employees and destroying evidence to cleanup operations, including assassinations if required.

The UT unitEdit

The game Resident Evil Survivor includes a special force of shock troopers known as the Umbrella Trash Sweepers, also known as the Undertakers or Cleaners. Cleaners appear to have uniforms similar to those of Umbrella's Special Forces Unit, with Kevlar vests, gas masks, and gray BDUs (battle dress uniforms); however, they are clearly inhuman. They have unnaturally long arms, they are incapable of speech, and when they are killed, they dissolve into green ichor. According to the game, their role is to destroy all evidence of a viral outbreak, including survivors. The Brady strategy guide describes them as "robotic special forces troops" which dissolve when destroyed so as not to leave evidence of their existence.

Resident Evil: The Deck Building GameEdit

Main article: Umbrella Corporation (DBG Card)

There is a card in the Resident Evil DBG called "Umbrella Corporation", but in name only, as the game's plot only involves survivors taking refuge in a mansion and encountering Infected. Many of the Infected are indeed Umbrella-developed B.O.W.s, but aside from this card, Umbrella itself is never mentioned.

TriviaEdit

• In Dino Crisis on some of the crates around the island, the player may see the insignia of the Umbrella Corporation from Resident Evil. Coincidentally, both Dino Crisis and Resident Evil are made by Capcom.
• In the second "beta" Dead Rising video, Umbrella is briefly mentioned as it was not involved with the Willamette outbreak (and the series at all).
• In the 2005's Resident Evil 4 E3 teaser, it is said that the Umbrella Corporation was dismissed in 1989 instead of 2003.
• In the game Dead Island, the umbrellas are the same pattern to that of the Umbrella Logo. An obvious reference to the Resident Evil series ( seen in http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lrjvc6P1mV1qbkiy8o1_500.jpg )
• In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, there is a company called ZomboTech. It could be another reference to Umbrella.
