NO. 06 RICARDO IRVING
Ostensibly the director of the oil field owned by the Resources Development Department of the TRICELL Africa Branch.
He has a pompous and arrogant personality. As well as a crude attitude. He's thoroughly a mammonist.
This personality led to him being entrusted with a role as a go-between for distributing the Bio Organic Weapons (B.O.W.) developed by the company onto the black market.
Since the profits obtained in his black market transactions are used as a source of funding for the Africa Branch's biological weapons development, on top of that he also conducts operational testing of bioweapons for demonstration purposes, making him one of the few people who could be said to know the full picture of the bioweapons development business.
However, the connection between his activities and the TRICELL Africa Branch is completely concealed.
For that purpose, he's only officially registered with 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. Naturally, the barriers existing between each branch are also an element that can't be ignored.)
Thus, when the BSAA acquired intel on his dealings this time, it also saw them as his illegal activities as an individual.
This operation was therefore not drafted as an "anti-bioweapon op", but as a "trafficker arrest op".
And that was an opportunity Irving took advantage of.
Irving obtained intel on the op and changed the deal location to a mine outside the Kijuju Autonomous Zone.
He set a trap for the BSAA in the autonomous zone, which they were convinced was the deal location.
First, before the unit arrived to the site, he spread the newly developed "improved Plaga model" in the town, turning all citizens into "Majini."
This was assumed to be for gathering data before distributing the product on the black market, and simultaneously to terrorize the backup team (Chris Redfield and Sheva Alomar).
In addition, he prepared the uncontrollable Uroboros Virus to face-off with the Alpha Team raid unit.
This plan worked like a charm, it annihilated Alpha Team led by Dan DeChant.
But he didn't anticipate that the uncontrollable Uroboros Virus would be killed by Chris and Sheva.
In addition, a hard disk storing some of his information was unexpectedly recovered.
Through this, Chris and Sheva uncovered the existence of the mine, the deal's true location.
Faced with this unforeseen situation, Irving was forced to make his next move.
He informed his clients of their transaction's postponement, then went to the mine to collect various documents and papers kept there.
Chris and Sheva stepped in during that time.
But for him, this situation was within the scope of his expectations, to some extent.
Irving escaped after being rescued by a hooded person who was standing by outside.
Against the other two, he unleashed the "Popokarimu" (a B.O.W. produced using a bat as the base) he'd originally arranged to use in the transaction.
This is considered to be nothing more than Irving's personal revenge for the transaction being scuttled.
He could be viewed as a rational businessman on the surface, but Irving's true nature also has a childish side.
Further unexpected events transpired.
Although Irving escaped from the mine, he was discovered by Delta Team led by Josh Stone while they were standing by in the autonomous zone.
He escaped this predicament by deploying the "Ndesu" (a B.O.W. created based on data of "El Gigante" documented in Europe) he'd brought for use in the transaction, however, not only was the transaction blown, but losing two large B.O.W.'s was also a bitter blow.
Gauging that he couldn't escape the cleanup, Irving attempted to flee with his secretly saved personal fortune in tow, but the hooded person apprehended him shortly after.
The person presented Irving with a syringe containing a Plaga.
"Use this to take responsibility and kill Chris and Sheva", they said.
The Plaga contained in the syringe wasn't just any Plaga though.
It was a "dominant species Plaga."
According to BSAA intel, the dominant species Plaga had been used several times in an incident in Europe faced by Leon S. Kennedy.
Unlike the regular Plaga, even if it parasitizes a host, it doesn't take over their consciousness, although it does cause major bodily changes.
To be parasitized by the dominant species Plaga is synonymous with giving up life as a human.
For Irving, blowing up the oil field must've been a last ditch effort.
To begin with, the crude oil sitting beneath the oil field was running dry.
If Chris and Sheva had died with the evidence destroyed due to the blast, he wouldn't need to use the dominant species Plaga.
For him it was a huge gamble to risk his life for, but he wasn't even able to come out on top either.
As a result, Irving injected himself with the dominant species Plaga.
He challenged the two in his disfigured form, but was unable to succeed and pitifully met 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.
