(Capcom's primary storyline)

Eliseo Mabou (also known as Morio) was a Bio Organic Weapon, initially considered to be a failed experiment of the Kodoku Project. He was the older brother of Marilou Mabou and had traveled overseas to attend college so he could learn things that could help out the people of Sonido de Tortuga Island. However shortly after returning home he mysteriously disappeared, only to re-emerge some time later as a murderous B.O.W. The nickname "Morio" was a play on words thought up by Takeru Tominaga, as Morio can mean either "harpoon man (銛男, morio)" in Japanese or "monster, or deformed person" in Latin.

Eliseo is responsible for the infection of Coco, Kylie and many other team members and contestants of Idol Survival, as well as the destruction of the engine room of the ship White Castle during the Sonido de Tortuga Island Incident.

During the incident the mutated Eliseo had a mask on his face, and was clad in a trench coat which initially concealed his true identity. He was also equipped with a long harpoon and a big anchor attached to a thick chain both of which were wielded to deadly effect.

Throughout the incident the creature relentlessly chased Tominaga and Yuki Mayu, ultimately cornering them atop a cliff, and forcing them to hide in a tree until they were discovered. Tominaga then fought the creature to save Mayu and they both ended up falling over the edge of the cliff, with Tominaga using a rope tied around his waist to pull himself up. However, at the last second the creature used its anchor as a grappling hook and tried to pull itself up as well. Before that could happen Tominaga caused the creature to fall into the ocean below by kicking the anchor loose. For a while the creature was presumed dead by the pair until they unexpectedly encountered it later within a tribal cave settlement which Morio had built for his fellow zombified villagers due to his lingering human desire to help his home village.

After the pair burned his makeshift village down while trying to fight the other zombies, the Morio creature angrily proceeded to chase Takeru and Mayu again but this time it was confronted by the arriving BSAA soldiers led by Parker Luciani, and also by an unknown creature named the Schraube Dämon, who had assaulted Inéz Diaco and Marilou earlier and killed Mike D. Seaman. A fight ensued and the Schraube Dämon was forced to retreat. Later after the survivors encountered Dr. Dirk Miller, the last remaining follower of Dr. Alex Wesker in the hidden Umbrella facility on the island, he explained that both creatures were natives of the island chosen for a project Miller called the Kodoku Project. This project was based on the Survival of the Fittest ideology with the idea being that by allowing various B.O.W's to fight and consume one another the virus would undergo subtle RNA changes as it passed from one host to another with the last survivor thus having the strongest virus, and leaving the researchers with the body of the last survivor for further use as a weapon. Unlike the other B.O.W's though Morio had escaped containment before he was fully programmed leaving him only with the directives to kill the strongest fighters and ensure no one left the island but without any of the other control protocols. Shortly after explaining this Morio tracked the group into the facility and emerged as the strongest B.O.W after again fighting the Schraube Dämon and killing it, with Miller speculating that Morio was, in fact, Marilou's missing brother and that Schraube Dämon was once López, a man who had competed for Marilou's affection but had later been been chased off by Eliseo after López had become unacceptably aggressive towards her. Before the group could fully digest this revelation though one of the survivors Zǐlì revealed herself to actually be a spy for Shén Yà Pharmaceutical and proceeded to force Miller to activate the base's virus extraction protocol before killing him. Morio was then grabbed by a large electrified claw and forcibly shackled to a stone slab where the virus was then extracted from him, a process which seemingly killed him and left Zǐlì with the fruits of the projects labors. Morio however later recovered and emerged once again, and during a battle with the now transformed and monstrous Zǐlì, she destroyed his mask revealing that he was indeed Eliseo. Holding onto his human memories, Morio decided to save his sister from the mutated Zǐlì, and as he fought the creature, Claire Redfield fired a rocket launcher decapitating Zǐlì with Morio seemingly perishing in the explosion.[1]
