Umbrella officer
From Resident Evil Wiki
| “ | Sergei: You think I am reckless, don't you? Officer: You stole the computer core from your own company. I wouldn't exactly call that 'stable'. | ” |
This unnamed official was a seemingly high ranking executive of the Umbrella Corporation and an associate of Sergei Vladimir. He was apparently in charge of some of the company's operations in Raccoon City.
[edit] History
| “ | An Umbrella officer will be leaving town in a helicopter. If you are not on it, there will be no way to leave Raccoon City... | ” |
This man was evacuated at literally the last minute of the infamous Raccoon City Outbreak. Sergei was sent to retrieve the U.M.F.-013 computer core and the executive. Sergei piloted the helicopter into the city and secured the core via tow cable. The officer was shown as a passenger sitting in the back of the copter. He was breathing through a life support system plugged into his nose, with wires hanging from his ears and down his waist. His full face remained silhouetted and hidden. During the escape of the city, Albert Wesker informed the injured Ada Wong of the coming government missile that would destroy Raccoon City and of the helicopter carrying the officer being her only way out. Ada did manage to grapple onto the computer core and was unnoticed by Sergei or the executive. Meanwhile, in the helicopter, the officer commented that it was reckless for Sergei to steal the core, but Sergei took his comment as a joke and disclosed that the research data in the core would allow Umbrella to rise again. With the destruction of both Raccoon City and the Umbrella Corporation, this man's fate remains unknown.
[edit] Trivia
- It is heavily believed that this man was in fact Ozwell E. Spencer. A number of facts show this to be highly likely: his conversation with Sergei suggested that he was higher in rank, his face was hidden, with the bits of his face actually shown being wrinkly, suggesting old age, and he needed life support systems. These were all traits Spencer shared. In Resident Evil 5, Spencer's notebook said "I have just recieved word that Raccoon City has been wiped out". It is believed by some that this statement was meant to point out that Spencer was not in Raccoon City at the time of its destruction, though this is unconfirmed. Regardless, the officer's true identity remains ambiguous.
- It is unknown how Wesker knew of this man and his escape attempt, and whether he knew his identity or not.
