Canon Entry 0.3.1. - Beginnings 2 (Umbrella Chronicles)


Summary
Rewinding back a little bit to just before the Umbrella Management Training Facility explodes, we finish up Wesker's escapades in the facility and introduce a Chronicles-exclusive canon character in Sergei Vladimir.

Early Dawn, July 24, 1998
Wesker ascends from the tram car and crosses the chapel bridge back to the facility. Wesker knows time is running out due to Birkin heading to activate the self-destruct mechanism. The facility now swarms with Crimson Heads (the further mutation of a zombie) making getting out of here no easy feat, but Wesker has no trouble fighting his way through. At the crash site of the Ecliptic Express, Wesker encounters Sergei Vladimir, and his personal bodyguard, Ivan.



Sergei Vladimir is a high-ranking executive of Umbrella, exceeding Wesker and closely trusted by Spencer. Sergei has a complex history even for this series, serving as a colonel in Spetsnaz where he would become involved in an experiment that resulted in ten clones of Sergei being created. When the Soviet Union collapsed, Umbrella would poach Sergei and his clones, using the latter in their Tyrant research. This branch of research would lead to the Talos Project, which was developed on the side at Arklay Labs. This research is why Sergei is here in Raccoon, recovering the project before it became totally lost to the outbreak and eventual Mansion detonation. Sergei also has connections to Nicholai Ginovaef.

Ivan meanwhile is a specially enhanced T-103 designed especially for Sergei to act as a personal bodyguard. Ivan is basically what the ultimate goal of the Tyrant project is: able to blend in with human society while taking orders, coupled with powerful speed and strength.

Sergei sends down Ivan to teach Wesker a lesson about disobeying orders, but even this advanced form of Tyrant is no match for Wesker. The facility detonates giving Wesker an opening to escape, but Sergei has bigger matters at hand: the retrieval of TALOS. Wesker heads back to Raccoon City to regroup with S.T.A.R.S. Alpha Team. The Mansion Incident is close at hand.

Personal Thoughts
Not much to say on this one. Sergei is kind of a "whatever" character to me and unneedlessly complicates the lore but it's always good to see more Wesker.
