Albert Wesker (アルバート・ウェスカー, Arubāto Wesukā) is a fictional character in Resident Evil (Biohazard in Japan), a survival horror video game series created by Japanese company Capcom. He is first introduced in the original Resident Evil (1996), in which he is the captain of the Raccoon Police Department's Special Tactics And Rescue Service (STARS) unit. His character is further explored in subsequent installments, which greatly expand his role in the series' extensive narrative.
Introduced in the first game, Wesker has been one of the main antagonists throughout the series, where he usually manipulates story events behind-the-scenes. Wesker seeks to replace humanity through mass extinction and forced evolution, believing humanity to be at an evolutionary dead end. To this end, he is affiliated with the Umbrella Corporation as one of its most promising researchers, and at the same time participates in illicit activities by going undercover as a STARS captain in Raccoon City. Through the course of much betrayal of his allies to further his own plans, Wesker fakes his death, gains superhuman abilities from an experimental variant of the Progenitor virus, and works with both Umbrella's mysterious rival company and their successors in the field of biological weapons development, TRICELL, until his ultimate defeat by Chris Redfield in Resident Evil 5 (2009).
Wesker appears in several Resident Evil games and novelizations. In the live-action film series, Wesker is portrayed by Jason O'Mara, Shawn Roberts and Tom Hopper. In Netflix's live-action television series, set in its own original universe but using the video game series as its backstory and basis, several clones of Wesker, portrayed by Lance Reddick, are revealed to have been produced before and after his death, with one having two daughters, Jade and Billie Wesker.
Wesker has received mostly positive reviews from video game publications, with critics praising him for being a memorable villain in the franchise.
