RESIDENT EVIL TIMELINE
1950 ? 1960 (circa)
--Sometime during this decade, Lord Edward Ashford, Lord Ozwell E. Spencer, and James Marcus together discover the ?mother? virus. The potential for creating ultimate bio-organic weapons, (B.O.W.) is realized for the first time. The three spend the next several years studying and testing the virus.
----Years after the discovery of the ?mother? virus, it is refined further thanks to the research of a team headed by Spencer, Ashford, and Marcus to create the ?Progenitor? virus. The Progenitor virus, while powerful, proves unsatisfactory for the researchers? purposes since its effects on animals and plants are negligible, resulting in ravenous and uncontrollable behavior that proves too destructive and unpredictable. A balance needed to be found, but it would be years in the coming.
--Edward?s son, Alexander Ashford, a graduate of bio-genetics, joins and supports his father?s research.
1962 ? 1967
--Over the course of five years, the palatial and secluded Spencer Mansion, located in the Arklay Mountains just outside Raccoon City, is built under the direction of the famous New York architect, George Trevor. Trevor, under the orders of Ozwell Spencer, incorporates a series of secret rooms and passages to which only he and Spencer are knowledgeable.
November 10, 1967
--After Spencer invites the Trevor family to visit the estate, George?s wife, Jessica, and his teenage daughter, Lisa, arrive at the newly constructed mansion. George, busy with work back in New York, promises his own arrival a few days later.
--Meanwhile, Jessica impresses their host with a beautiful rendition of Beethoven?s piano piece, ?Moonlight Sonata.? She is warmly congratulated by Ozwell Spencer.
--Later that night, Jessica and Lisa are attacked by men working for Spencer and dragged to a laboratory where they are administered the Progenitor virus. Jessica is given the ?Type-A? version of the virus, with less than promising results. Lisa is administered a ?Type-B? version and is slow to react to the mutative effects.
November 13, 1967 (evening)
--George Trevor finally arrives at the Spencer Estate and is treated to a sumptuous dinner by his host. Spencer informs the young architect that his wife and daughter unexpectedly left three days earlier to tend to their sick aunt, Emma, who was hospitalized.
November 14, 1967
--Spencer takes Trevor on a grand tour of the mansion, where he reveals to the architect his plans to start a pharmaceutical company called ?Umbrella.?
November 15, 1967
--Jessica Trevor finally succumbs to the virus and dies. Lisa, slowly going insane due to the effects of the virus, is left all alone to wander her dark, dank cell deep within the caverns beneath the estate. She is placed under routine surveillance to monitor the progress of the Progenitor strain coursing through her body.
November 18, 1967
--Worrying about the long overdue return of his family, and frustrated by the lack of telephones on the premises, Trevor begins to wander the grounds and discovers a strange tunnel in the courtyard that was not part of his original plans. He is suddenly accosted by several men who berate the architect and inform him that he should not wander around unescorted.
November 21, 1967
--Intending to leave and find his family, Trevor waits for his host to see him off in a ground level reception room. One of the men who accosted him earlier appears and informs Trevor that his wife and daughter are dead, before injecting him in the neck with a substance that causes the architect to lose consciousness.
December 7, 1967
--After eventually escaping imprisonment and wandering around the secret underground mazes of the estate, a dehydrated and dying Trevor crawls into a final secret passage under the mansion. There he discovers a freshly dug grave and a tombstone with his name on it. Apparently, Spencer was using the architect as a lab rat to test out the hidden rooms and passages of the mansion, while providing Trevor with his final resting place at the same time.
1968 ? 1969 (circa)
--As a front for their new and dangerous research, Ozwell Spencer, James Marcus and Edward Ashford found the company Umbrella Chemicals, Inc.
1969 ? 1970
--Alexander Ashford accidentally kills his father, Edward, and disgraces the Asford family name. Full control of Umbrella is handed over to Spencer, and Alexander is forced to continue his research on a new strain of the Progenitor virus away from the Arklay lab.
--Later, in 1970, Alexander establishes a secret lab in Antarctica as part of a mine shaft facility already set up and owned by Umbrella. He plans to continue work on what he calls the ?Veronica? project and to someday revive his tarnished family?s name. He also builds spacious living quarters for himself within the facility enviously modeled after the Spencer Mansion.
1971
--After years of research, Alexander isolates the gene regulating human intelligence. He extracts the gene from a DNA sample belonging to the long dead and revered Ashford family matriarch, Veronica, and implants it into the egg of a surrogate mother. The twins Alfred and Alexia Ashford are born later that year. The boy possesses above average intelligence, but it is the girl, Alexia, who turns out to be a true genius.
September 19, 1977
--James Marcus derives the ?Tyrant? virus by combining the Progenitor virus with leech DNA, spurring months of secretive testing which would eventually lead, years later, to illegal testing on numerous live test subjects. It would later be discovered that this new ?T?-virus has the ability to mutate test subjects into, for lack of a better word, ?monsters.? Humans would be found to mutate into zombie-like creatures with diminished intelligence, augmented strength, and an insatiable appetite for living flesh. While animals and plants infected with the virus would grow larger, more ferocious, and decidedly homicidal. It was also discovered that the T-virus could be transmitted through the bite of an infected carrier.
February 3, 1978
--James Marcus begins administering the new T-virus to leech specimens in the lab. The results are promising and he becomes enamored with their adaptability and vicious survival instincts. Initially the leeches exhibit rapid growth and reproductive rates, followed by a disturbing tendency towards cannibalism. After Marcus increases their food supply, however, the leeches cease this activity and begin working in cohesion, forming large familial groups and attacking supplied live feed with precision and a single-mindedness bordering on the uncanny.
June 3, 1978
--After four months observation, the T-virus infected leeches have evolved admirably, surpassing all of Marcus?s expectations. All individuality amongst the specimens has vanished, and the group of leeches now operates as one single, large collective. They even begin to mimic en masse the movements and actions of their administrator, James Marcus. This makes them the perfect starting base for the future development of effective B.O.W. types as envisioned by Umbrella.
July 31, 1978
--Albert Wesker, age 18, is assigned to the research team at the Arklay Mountains lab on the Spencer Estate by none other than Lord Ozwell Spencer himself. He meets William Birkin, age 16, for the first time, and the two prodigies are made head researchers on various teams at the lab.
February 11, 1979
--Marcus suspects Spencer has been sending spies to his lab in order to use the information obtained about the T-virus for his own means. Marcus makes plans to reveal the discovery of the virus and his subsequent research at the next Umbrella board of directors meeting, hoping that the prestige awarded to him will be enough to supplant Spencer and seize total control of the company for himself.
--A few months later, James Marcus is assassinated by Wesker and Birkin on Spencer?s orders in order to give Ozwell complete control over Umbrella?s holdings. Birkin takes over the dead man?s research into the T-virus with intense vigor.
July 27, 1981
--Alexia Ashford, a child prodigy, graduates at the top of her class from a noted university at the age of 10. In July, she is offered a position as head researcher for Umbrella, Inc. at her father?s Antarctic facility.
--Later this year, Alfred Ashford begins military training at the newly constructed Umbrella training facility on Rockfort Island.
1981 ? 1982
--Future S.T.A.R.S. member Barry Burton begins his long career in law enforcement by joining a SWAT team.
February 17, 1983
--Alfred Ashford discovers a secret corridor within the Antarctic facility. Inside a locked room where the Asford family secrets are kept, he discovers his father?s notes and the true nature behind the conception of his sister and himself.
March 3, 1983
--Alexia combines the T-virus with an ancient virus found dormant in the DNA of a queen ant. The results are promising, and Alexia names the new virus ?T-Veronica?, after her esteemed ancestor. To test the abilities of the new virus, the twins decide to perform the first human experiment of the virus on their own hated father, Alexander.
April 22, 1983
--After Alexander horribly mutates and goes insane, the twins realize their experiment is a dismal failure. They lock the deranged creature that once was their father in a hidden cell deep within the bowels of the facility. Alexia develops an antidote for the poisonous gas the creature emits in the event of an escape, and struggles with how to retard the devastating effects of her ?Veronica? virus long enough to control it to her purposes.
December 27, 1983
--Finally sure of her solution, Alexia injects her own body with the T-Veronica virus and arranges to cryogenically freeze herself for fifteen years in order to mitigate the effects and thus make the virus more manageable. The twins concoct a scheme to fake Alexia?s death as a cover-up, and Alfred is left to uphold the family?s name in her absence.
January, 1988
--Michael Warren becomes mayor of Raccoon City.
July 1, 1988
--Albert Wesker obtains a sample of the ?Prototype parasite? from one of Umbrella?s labs in France with the help of Ozwell Spencer. The parasite, part of Umbrella?s ?Nemesis Project?, is injected within Lisa Trevor?s infected body, and the results are studied by William Birkin. He discovers a new ?G?-virus residing within the woman?s tissues and begins conducting years of research into discovering a way to synthesize the virus for Umbrella?s use.
1991
--After receiving official authorization to start work on creating a viable G-virus sample, William Birkin leaves the Spencer Mansion around this time to set up his lab in Umbrella?s secret underground facility buried under the old train yards of Raccoon City, intending to continue his research there.
--Having determined that the G-virus research was far above his own abilities, Albert Wesker decides to change fields within the company in order to give him more access to classified information. His request to join Umbrella?s ?secret service? is finally approved and he, too, leaves the Spencer Estate to begin training.

May 11, 1998 (dawn)
--T-virus outbreak occurs at Lord Spencer?s estate. James Marcus, mutated and seeking revenge over his ?assassination? at the hands of Umbrella, purposely sabotages the environment safety controls at the Arklay lab and releases the virus into the air. The researchers and staff are slowly infected over the course of several days and spread the virus throughout the estate.
--Later the same day, one of the researchers exposed to the T-virus leak goes ?berserk? and smashes the aquarium located in a hidden basement chamber under the guardhouse. The basement is flooded and several B.O.W. shark specimens called ?Neptune? are released from the tank.
