Albert Wesker is a prominent antagonist in the Resident Evil video game series. His first appearance was in the original Resident Evil game in 1996. Initially portrayed as the captain of S.T.A.R.S. (Special Tactics And Rescue Service), he later reveals himself to be a double agent working for the Umbrella Corporation.

Throughout the series, Wesker's motivations revolve around acquiring power and shaping the future of humanity. He possesses superhuman abilities obtained through experimentation with various viruses, including the Progenitor virus and later, the Uroboros virus. These viruses grant him enhanced strength, speed, regeneration, and vision.

Wesker's actions often lead to bio-organic weapon outbreaks, further complicating the struggles of the series' protagonists. He is characterized by his cold, calculating demeanor, and his iconic sunglasses, even indoors, have become a trademark of the character.
