The t-virus (short for "Tyrant Virus") was a highly adaptable bioweapons-grade pathogen and the main component for the Umbrella Corporation in their biological weapons development program, created from an attempt to weaponize the Progenitor virus for military use and application. The t-virus became the basis for the majority of Umbrella's research. It inherits the genetic modifying properties of the Progenitor virus and drastically improves on them. The very first strain of the t-virus was created by Dr. James Marcus.

The Umbrella Research Center served as one of the first facilities constructed by the Umbrella Corporation. Its purpose was to educate prospective officers and executives of Umbrella, but it also served as the private laboratory of James Marcus. It was also the birthplace of the t-virus. It is also commonly known as the "Management Training Facility".

When Dr. James Marcus was assassinated in 1988, one of the Leeches the scientist was working entered into his masters mouth and resided in his dead body. Over the course of 10 years, the T-Virus fused with the DNA of the co-founder of Umbrella, until the Queen Leech was ready to reap her master's revenge. Typically assimilating the young care-free Marcus, the Queen Leech eventually discards the body before revealing its true humanoid form.

We discovered it at last... the new virus!
We named this new discovery "Progenitor".
I want to take it with me and begin detailed research as soon as possible.

My partner Spencer brought up "establishing a company".
Well, I don't mind as long as I can perform my "Progenitor" research.
He can do as he likes.
