NO. 06 RICARDO IRVING
He is the director of the oil field officially owned by the Resources Development Department of the TRICELL Africa Branch.
His personality is pompous and arrogant. A violent attitude. A thorough mammonist.
His character is expected to be the role of a go-between who circulates developed Bio Organic Weapons (B.O.W.) into the black market.
Since the profits obtained in the black-market deals he performs are used as a source of funding for the biological weapons development performed by the Africa Branch, and he also conducts practical use examination and demonstrations of the bioweapons, it could be said he's one of the few people that knows the full picture of the bioweapons development business.
However, the connection between his activities and the TRICELL Africa Branch are completely concealed.
For that purpose, he only officially belongs to the Resources Development Department rather than the Pharmaceuticals Department which finances the BSAA.
(TRICELL is a conglomerate consisting of three departments, "Shipping", "Resource Development" and "Pharmaceuticals." Since each department is financially independent, it could be said that each department is a different company. Of course, there are elements that can't be ignored in the walls that exist between each regional branch)
Thus, when the BSAA seized information on his dealings this time, it recognized them as his individual illegal activities.
Therefore, this operation was not drafted as an "anti-bioweapon operation", but as a "trafficker arrest operation".
And that was a chance which Irving took advantage of.
Irving grasped information on the operation and changed the deal location to the mine outside the Kijuju autonomous zone.
He set up a trap for the BSAA in the autonomous zone, which they were convinced was the deal location.
First, before the unit arrived to the spot, he spread the newly developed "improved Plaga model" in the town, and all citizens were turned into "Majini."
This was assumed for the data collection stage before distributing the product to the black market, simultaneously with the intimidation of the backup team (two people, Chris Redfield and Sheva Alomar).
In addition, he prepared the Uroboros Virus, which went out of control, for the Alpha Team raid unit.
This plan worked like a charm, it annihilated the Alpha Team led by Dan DeChant.
But unexpectedly for him, the out of control Uroboros Virus was overcome by Chris and Sheva.
In addition, the hard disk where part of his information was stored was unexpectedly recovered.
Through this, the existence of the mine, which was the true deal location, was discovered by Chris and Sheva.
Confronted with an unexpected situation, Irving couldn't help but take the next step.
When he informed the trading partner of the postponement of the business negotiation, he went to collect various documents and data that had been prepared in the mine.
Chris and Sheva walked in during that.
But for him, this situation was within the limits of his expectation, to some extent.
Irving was rescued by a hooded person standing by outside and escaped.
For those two, he sent the "Popokarimu" (a B.O.W. produced with a bat as the base) which he originally prepared to use in the transaction.
This is simply considered to be Irving's personal revenge for the transaction being blown.
On the surface, he could be called a rational businessman, but Irving's true nature also had a childish side.
Furthermore, the unexpected situation continued.
Although Irving escaped from the mine, he was discovered by the Delta Team led by Josh Stone, which was standing by in the autonomous zone.
He escaped from the predicament by using the "Ndesu" (a B.O.W. created based on data of the "El Gigante" documented in Europe) which he prepared for use in the transaction, however, not only was the transaction blown, but he also held extremely deep regret over losing two large size B.O.W.s.
Therefore, Irving determined to avoid the cleanup by gauging an escape with his secretly stored personal fortune in his hands, but he was apprehended by the hooded person just after.
The person presented Irving with a syringe containing a Plaga.
They said to "use this to take responsibility and kill Chris and Sheva".
However, the Plaga contained in the syringe was not just another Plaga.
It was a "dominant species Plaga."
According to the BSAA's information, the use of the dominant species Plaga was confirmed several times in an incident in Europe encountered by Leon S. Kennedy.
Unlike the regular Plaga, even if it is parasitic, consciousness is not controlled; however it brings significant mutations to the body.
Allowing the dominant species Plaga to be parasitic is synonymous with surrendering life as a human.
For Irving, blowing up the oil field must have been his last futile resistance.
To begin with, the crude oil beneath the oil field was about to dry up.
If Chris and Sheva died with the evidence destroyed due to the blast, it would be unnecessary to use the dominant species Plaga.
It was a big gamble to risk his life for, but he wasn't even able to come out on top of it either.
As a result, Irving injected the dominant species Plaga into himself.
He underwent a complete mutation and challenged the two, but was unable to accomplish it and was pitifully greeted with his end.

NO. 06 リカルド·アーヴィング
表向きはトライセル·アフリカ支社の資源開発部門が所有する油田の所長である。
性格は尊大で横柄。態度は粗暴。徹底した拝金主義者。
そして、その性格を見込まれ、開発された有機生命体兵器 (B.O.W.）を闇市場へと流す窓口的役割を任されている。
彼が行う闇取引で得られた利益はアフリカ支社が行う生物兵器開発の資金源として利用されており、また、デモンストレーションを兼ねた生物兵器の運用試験も行っているため、生物兵器開発ビジネスの全貌を知る数少ない人物と言える。
ただし、その活動とトライセル•アフリカ支社の関係は完璧に隠蔽されている。
彼がBSAAに出資している製薬部門ではなく、表向きだけでも資源開発部門に籍を置いているのはそのためである。
(トライセルは「海運」「資源開発」「製薬」の3部門からなる複合企業体である。各部門が独立採算制をとっているため、部門が違えば別会社と言ってもよい。もちろん、各支社間に存在する壁も無視できない要素である）
よって、今回BSAAが取引の情報を掴んだ際も、彼の個人的な違法行為として認識されていた。
そのため、今回の作戦は「対生物兵器作戦」ではなく、「密売人の逮捕作戦」として立案されたという経緯がある。
そして、そこにアーヴィングがつけ込む隙があった。
作戦の情報を掴んだアーヴィングは、取引場所をキジュジュ自治区外にある鉱山に変更。
BSAA側が取引現場と思い込んでいる自治区内に、罠を張り巡らせる。
まず部隊が現地へ到着する前に、新たに開発された「改良型プラーガ」を街にばら撒き、市民全員を「マジニ」とした。
これは、バックアップチーム（クリス•レッドフィールドとシェバ•アローマの2名）への威嚇と同時に、商品を闇市場へ流通させる前段階のデータ収集のためと推測される。
また、突入部隊であるアルファチームに対しては、暴走したウロボロス•ウィルスを用意。
この目論見は見事に的中し、ダン•デチャン卜率いるアルファ チームを全滅させている。
だが、彼にとって予想外だったのは、暴走したウロボロス•ウィルスがクリスとシェバに倒されたことである。
また、情報の一部が保管されていたハードディスクを奪取されたことも想定外であった。
これにより、クリスとシェバに本当の取引現場である鉱山の存在を知られてしまうこととなった。
予想外の事態に直面したアーヴィングは、次の手を打たざるをえなかった。
彼は、取引相手に商談の延期を連絡すると、鉱山に用意してあった各種資料、書類などの回収に向かった。
そして、その最中にクリスとシェバに踏み込まれたのである。
ただし、彼にとって、この事態はある程度予想の範囲内であった。
アーヴィングは、外で待機していたフードの人物に救出されるとそのまま逃走。
二人に対し、本来取引で使用するために用意していた「ポポカリム（コウモリをベースに生み出されたB.O.W.）」を差し向けた。
これは、取引をふいにされたアーヴィングの個人的な腹いせに過ぎないと思われる。
合理主義的なビジネスマンという一面の裏に、そういう子供っぽい面も合わせ持つのが、アーヴィングと言う人物の本質なのである。
さらに予想外の事態は続く。
鉱山から逃走してきたアーヴィングであったが、自治区内で待機していたジョッシュ•ストーン率いるデルタチームに発見されてしまったのだ。
その場は取引用として用意していた「ンデス（欧州で確認された「エルヒガンテ」のデータを基に作られたB.O.W.)」を使用することで窮地を脱したが、取引をふいにされただけではなく、二体の大型B.O.W.を失ったことは痛恨の極みであった。
そのため、粛清を免れないと判断したアーヴィングは密かに貯めこんでいた私財を手に逃走を計るが、直後にフードの人物に取り押さえられてしまう。
その人物は、アーヴィングにプラ一ガが入った注射器を差し出した。
これを使ってクリスとシェバを倒し、責任を取れと言うのだ。
だが、その注射器に入ったプラーガは、ただのプラーガではなかった。
それは「支配種プラーガ」だった。
支配種プラーガは、BSAAの資料によるとレオン•S•ケネディが欧州で遭遇した事件でも、何度か使用が確認されている。
通常のプラーガと違い、寄生されても意識を支配されることはないが、体に著しい変化をもたらしてしまう。
支配種プラーガを寄生させることは、人間として生きることをあきらめるのと同義であった。
アーヴィングにとって、油田の爆破は最後の悪あがきだったに違いない。
そもそも、油田の地下に眠る原油は枯渇しかかっていた。
爆破による証拠隠滅と共にクリスとシェバが死ねば、支配種プラーガを使用する必要はなくなる。
彼にとっては、まさに命を賭けた大博打であったが、それにさえも彼は勝つことはできなかった。
結果、アーヴィングは支配種プラーガを自ら投与。
醜く変貌したその姿で二人に挑むが、力及ばず、あえなく最後を迎えることとなった。

RICARDO IRVING
According to official records, Ricardo Irving is overseer of the oil refinery owned by Tricell Africa Division's Resource Development Department. Crude and arrogant, he possesses an insatiable desire for the accumulation of wealth. It is these traits along with his unique resourcefulness that have most likely made him Tricell's ideal agent in dealings with selling
B.O.W.s to black market individuals.
The money gained from these dealings is then invested by Tricell Africa back into their bioweapons research and development. The demonstration of those weapons for clients act as operational tests. Given the degree of Irving's involvement, it is believed that he is one of only a handful of people that know the full extent of Tricell's bioweapons business.
Irving's activities and their connection to Tricell, however, have been carefully kept under wraps. Adding to the misdirection is the fact that he is officially employed with the Resource Development Division and not the Pharmaceutical Division that sponsors the BSAA.
Tricell is a conglomerate comprised of shipping, natural resources development, and pharmaceuticals. Each division runs on its own capital, and, as such, could all be considered separate entities under one parent company. Also of note are the divisions that exist between each of Tricell's branch offices.
When the BSAA learned of Irving's latest deal, they viewed it as illicit activity conducted on his own and without support from Tricell. BSAA's mission, therefore, was not to fight biological weapons, but to apprehend a smuggler involved in an illicit deal.
Irving was able to exploit that misconception to the fullest.
Irving was informed of the BSAA's mission, and changed the location of the deal to a mine outside of the Kijuju Autonomous Zone (KAZ). When a BSAA team arrived at what they thought was the deal's location inside the KAZ, they walked into a trap.
Before the team even arrived, the improved version of Las Plagas was released upon the populace of the town, transforming most of them into Majini.
This intel was acquired by Alpha Team and later confirmed by the data recovered by the backup team (Chris Redfield and Sheva Alomar) prior to Irving's deal.
It appears that a sample of the Uroboros Virus was also released upon Alpha Team's arrival and was responsible for the termination of Dan DeChant's team.
Irving did not take into account that the Uroboros would be engaged and defeated by Agents Redfield and Alomar, nor that a hard disk and its data would be seized. The data obtained from the hard disk allowed to two agents to proceed to the actual location o Irving's transaction - the mine.
When confronted with the reality that his plan had failed, Irving was forced to take the following actions.
First, he contacted his partners in the transaction and requested to delay the deal. After which point, he went to the mine to retrieve any documents and materials relevant to the transaction. It was at this point that Redfield and Alomar found him.
However, it was obvious that he had a backup plan for just such a contingency.
Irving escaped thanks to the help of a hooded figure he had on standby. The two agents were left to deal with Popokarimu (a bat-based B.O.W.) that was originally intended to be used in the transaction.
It is thought that Irving released this B.O.W. on the agents in retaliation for disrupting the transaction and not to aid in his escape.
It was becoming apparent by this point, that Irving's mental stability was in question. Whether his irrational behavior was brought on by the interference of the agents or if the increased brought out his true tendencies is unknown. Irving's situation, however, would digress even further.
After escaping from the mine, he was soon discovered
by Captain Josh Stone's Delta Team inside the KAZ. In
order to escape Irving unleashed Ndesu (confirmed to
be based on the El Gigante B.O.W. used in Europe). The
frustration of losing two large, valuable B.O.W.s in
such short succession must have been keenly felt by
the avaricious Irving.
After reaching the conclusion that there was nothing more he could do, Irving plotted to escape with his accumulated wealth, but he was soon overtaken by the hooded figure, who provided him a vial containing Las Plagas. This was to be his punishment for failure. He was to administer this on himself in order to fight the two agents.
This vial contained a Las Plagas variant known as a control Plaga.
According to BSAA intel, the use of the control Plaga has been documented by Leon S. Kennedy in Europe. The control Plaga differs from the common form in that it does not take over a host's rational thought process. Another difference being that is causes extreme transformations to the host. As such, control Plaga hosts must resign themselves to never being able to
live as a normal human again.
In a last-ditch effort, Irving detonated the oil refinery, but unfortunately for him the refinery was virtually dry at the time thus limiting the size of the explosion. His hope was that he could destroy all incriminating evidence and kill Agents Redfield and
Alomar so he would hot have to resort to using the control Plaga.
Irving was left with no choice but to administer the injection to himself, at which point he underwent an immense and rapid transformation. But even the power he gained from that transformation did not avail him, and he met his end at the hands of the two agents.
