Best friends and partners with Albert Wesker, their friendship with a little unlikely yet it worked. Wesker may have his disagreements research-wise with his partner, but generally, they worked well together. Birkin was a genius and thought very highly of himself and of course was pissed when 10-year old Alexia Ashford got a position as senior researcher instead of him. And Birkin was always too busy with work to really care for his young daughter, Sherry, even though he cared about her greatly. Despite only fully appearing in one game, Resident Evil 2 (barring a few minor roles elsewhere), Birkin is one of the most fleshed out antagonists in the series, primarily thanks to extensive coverage in the excellent Wesker's Report II. His utter devotion to his work and genius arrogance make him flawed, yet has a very human connection to his wife, daughter, and even Wesker. His eventual downfall could've been seen coming for years, ever since William helped assassinate James Marcus in the same manner Birkin eventually succumbs to. As William takes his last gasps, he injects himself with his greatest creation, the G-Virus, transforming into the increasingly grotesque monster he's most well-known as. Birkin's various forms, always with a signature giant eyeball somewhere or other on his body, remains one of the best monsters the RE series has ever done. Each subsequent form is a moment of pure body horror bliss, as Birkin moves ever away from his humanity until he's nothing more than an ever-growing blob of goo. This doesn't mean Birkin loses his consciousnesses though; he still remembers Sherry, screaming her name and tracking her down to impregnate her with the G-Virus as well (in which he is successful). To me, I actually think this comes as a great pain to Birkin and he is at odds with the virus, who just wishes to survive. Birkin the man and the Birkin the monster both present varying forms of drama and horror. It's always interesting to see that conflict in horror, and it's just as great to see Birkin's ascending ugliness provide just the right dose of fear to keep players up at night. --- If the suspense doesn't kill you, something else will! http://tinyurl.com/zqwzc9a - https://tinyurl.com/y9ndlnhp - https://flic.kr/p/27VE5m4 <cite>Snake5555555555 posted [p:905536232] in Snake's To...
