Umbrella Corporation

Wallpaper Description:

The Umbrella Corporation is a sinister international pharmaceutical company in the Resident Evil universe.

Founded in the late 1960's by prominent British royal descendants Ozwell E. Spencer and Edward Ashford, it is portrayed in the games as a major international player in pharmaceutical goods and medical supplies, along with more clandestine operations utilizing genetic engineering, their legitimate status being only a front for their secret research of "bio-organic weapons" (BOWs), developed through the use of a unique virus discovered by the company founders shortly after World War II.

The company is also presented as having a more public face, producing cosmetics, consumer products and foods. Umbrella established multiple secret research facilities to develop various bio-weapons.

Its most prominent research facility is located in the Arklay Mountains, just outside Raccoon City, which was able to develop the "T-virus", a powerful mutagen that could dramatically alter living and recently dead organisms. The virus leaks and contaminates most of the Arklay Facility and its surrounding area, setting the stage for the first Resident Evil game.

Following the destruction of Raccoon City, all of Umbrella's assets are frozen by the U.S. Government and its trading rights are revoked, effectively terminating its operations.

However, it did not stop the rise of several bio-terrorist organizations around the world, some of them making use of its research, leading to the foundation of B.S.A.A.
