The Agency[]
Is this even real? It sounds like someone just made all this up and I've never heard of The Agency before. Nor does it say Ada worked with them to backstab Wesker.
- I think it was mentioned in one of the S.D. Perry books. Either way, the Agency and "The Organization" are probably the same thing.Forerunner 12:35, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
No, it isn't real. There is no such thing as "The Agency" apart from the bullshit spewed in the S.D. Perry books which some people editing this wiki believe hold more relevance than the games themselves. They are fan-fiction, nothing more. The word "Agency" is only muttered once, by Annette Birkin in the Leon A scenario of RE2. However, the original Japanese text actually says "Organization" and not "Agency". ~ News Bot
- Ada's Report has NO mention of the word "Agency" ever. http://projectumbrella.net/articles/Adas-Report CTRL + F will sort that out for you very quickly.
- Annette Birkin tells Leon that Ada was sent by the Agency to Raccoon City in BOTH Leon scenarios. But the name was obviously retconned in RE4.
THE AGENCY IS THE ORGANIZATION THAT ADA WORKS FOR. SHE MENTIONS IT IN RE4 SEPARATE WAYS LAST REPORT. IT'S STILL UNKNOWN THE OBJECTIVES OF THIS CORPORATION THOUGH.
3rd organization? Wouldn't it be considered just as The Organization. I've never heard of an organization that Wesker worked for after Umbrella or before the Organization. The one that Ada and Wesker both were at was Umbrella right?-Ninten* (talk) 04:08, October 2, 2012 (UTC)Ninten* -- Ninten* (talk) 04:08, October 2, 2012 (UTC)
- RE4 referred to it as such. Based on our understanding, Wesker rather frequently switched from employer to employer. Ada was advised to move over to his business. -- Forerunner 08:24, October 2, 2012 (UTC)
Let me set all of this straight. There is no such thing as "The Agency". It was a mistranslation. Annette actually says "that woman is a spy from a certain organization". In this case, "organization" refers to the rival company of Umbrella. The name was never retconned, because there was no name. "Organization" is a general term. As for "The 3rd Organization", it's Wesker's own secret underground organization of followers and is not a company. It has nothing to do with the rival company (which has no known name), it was used by him to further his own goals as he rose to higher and higher positions within the rival company with each new virus he acquired, eventually taking it over and essentially turning the rival company into "The 3rd Organization" and finally creating his own "umbrella" (NOT a revival of the Umbrella Corporation, that is a misconception) which would be able to help foster and hide his ambitions much like Umbrella did for Spencer. He then uses up most of its resources in order to find Spencer, and the rival company collapses completely after his death in 2009. The "organization" mentioned in Ada's Report is a completely separate entity from any other previously known group. They are a benevolent organization whose intentions, nature and name are unknown. Ada herself is an independant contractor and takes jobs from anyone, but she will often betray her handlers such as Wesker or Simmons if she does not agree with their goals, and may take what they want and give them to her own organization for hers and their own intentions.

Identity of The Agency[]
IMHO, Wesker's betraying Excella Gione and TRICELL doesn't really do anything to dispel the theory that TRICELL is the Agency/Organization. I mean, if it suited his needs, do you really think Wesker would even hesitate in betraying them just like he did Umbrella? Ghost Leader
What I said was that if Wesker betrayed the Agency, how could TRICELL be their identity if he worked with TRICELL in 5 after betraying the Agency? Betrayal would not give the Agency reason to work with Wesker again. --Mateo22 20:29, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
False Statement[]
In trivia, it stated that "Instead, TRICELL is actually 'S'". Was S' identity revealed somewhere in RE5? Ghost Leader
@Newsbot: That doesn't mean TRICELL is S, by any stretch. Besides, that plot point was dropped from the movie anyway. Ghost Leader
Yes, yes it does. The plot point also was not dropped, TRICELL is still there. TRICELL's original name was to be Seashell, which is also clearly seen on the official RE5 website through the phrase "Seashell Are Evil". If you think S is a new company altogether you are very much mistaken. The current Resident Evil story arc would NOT be considered over if there was another company rivalling Umbrella. ~ News Bot
- Yes, it was dropped. Look on the Corporation S page. It expressly states that TRICELL being the true identity of S was dropped from the script. In the context of the plot, the identity of S has not been revealed. Ghost Leader
- Whoever wrote that it was dropped is incorrect, or you misunderstand. Seashell as the name for TRICELL was dropped from the script. Not the entire plot point of S = TRICELL as a whole. An idiot can connect the dots. Assuming that there is just this random organization with no real name or history is just asinine.
- The Organization also seems to have no real name or history, so your point there is moot. A random person "connecting the dots" doesn't necessarily equal story arc canon. But TRICELL = S is only speculation at this point, just like the identity of the Organization, not fact. Ghost Leader
- Then quite frankly you are a fool. Sorry. If S was intended to be Seashell and Seashell later became TRICELL, how is it so hard to follow the logic along?
- Yeah, real mature. Start name-calling when you can't bully a person into accepting your speculation as canon. It's a simple fact that S has not been specifically identified yet. Citing an axed plot point from Degeneration isn't proof. Ghost Leader
- S is not TRICELL. In development, it was intended to be the outcome, but that idea was scrapped. Also note that became a dominating Pharmaceutical corporation AFTER the fall of Umbrella, TRICELL's Pharmaceutical division was already in existence during Umbrella's early days. I think, personally, that The Organization/Agency is actually TRICELL. Note that only Ada had a Master Plaga sample, which was used to create mutated Plaga specimens. -- Forerunner 00:48, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
- Seashell IS indeed TRICELL. It's the same case with how Biohazard: Degeneration is spelled Baiohazado Dijenereshon in Japan, because it's a common practice there for better pronunciation. One then could assume that TRICELL is actually "S" given the clues in Separate Ways. -- Mr. Rod, September 8th 2009.
- I know Seashell is TRICELL, it was a placeholder name for the company during development of RE5. But however you put it, the assumption that TRICELL and S are the same organization is not fact until it's specifically stated in-game or from another official source. Ghost Leader
- The Biohazard 5 Kaitashinsho guidebook states that the only organization Wesker joined was The Organization. And since 70% of background details and other information comes from the Kaitashinsho guides, I'd say that's proof enough. User:News Bot
- You may think it's proof enough, but it's still speculation. Speculation is not fact, no matter how you try to argue it. S has not officially been identified. Ghost Leader

- TRICELL and The Organization are completely seperate, otherwise Ada is dead now. Also, Control Plaga and Master Plaga are not one in the same. Control Plaga is what Krauser, Mendez and Salazar had, while Saddler had the Master Plaga. ~ News Bot
- And the Plaga sample Ada escaped with was the one she took after Leon killed Saddler. Ghost Leader

Identity[]
Who agrees with the "Organization" actually being the Global Pharmaceutical Consortium? I think it becomes undeniable after reading the BSAA file, which details how the G.P.C. wanted to get rid of Umbrella due to the biological crimes they caused, and presented the Supreme Court with evidence against them. This most likely means that Wesker provided his G.P.C. superiors with some of his findings from his attack on the Umbrella base in Russia, and they used this in court to bring Umbrella down. I know it hasn't been officially announced, but who else thinks so? Mateo22 
My card...
- The G.P.C. provided any evidence they had against Umbrella in favour of saving their own reputation, but it was Wesker alone who provided the evidence which screwed Umbrella over. That would also mean the G.P.C. was responsible for developing B.O.W.s such as the Hunter II and the Sweeper, which doesn't really fit with their whole setting up the BSAA Its doubtful the G.P.C. would create B.O.W.s for the purpose of selling them... and without that there really is no purpose. ~ News Bot
- Somone else on Project Umbrella came up with the G.P.C. idea before I did, and I really agree with it. Also, on that same discussion, it was said that Umbrella funded S.T.A.R.S. (no idea how true that is), and if so then I don't think it would be too out of the ordinary for the G.P.C., actually another evil coporation, to also fund the BSAA Rather, it would just be ironic for Chris and Jill. And we really don't know what the consortium's true intentions behind the scenes are, so we can't really say for sure. They could have wanted the BSAA to get rid of any further bio-weapon threats repeating Umbrella, so that they could keep control of the playing field. I think it can fit with a few twists and turns.

I think its safer to say that The Third Organization is exactly TRICELL, just later named TRICELL after becoming public, for many reasons. First, it is said that TTO is a rival to Umbrella, both Umbrella and TRICELL are pharmasuticle companies experimenting in biological weaponry. Also, it is said that Wesker worked his way into TTO, eventually gaining control to some degree, like the control he had over TRICELL in Resident Evil 5, just running TRICELL behind the scenes. Also, I would like to point out the obvious reference in their names:
-The THIRD Organization ~ TRIcell
TRI = Three
These are the reasons I think that TRICELL used to be The Third Organization before becoming a public company, and while having public founders and the like, it was really run by wesker behind the scenes.Aliwiswell (talk) 09:29, June 2, 2014 (UTC)
