NO. 10 JILL VALENTINE
Beautiful features on a seemingly delicate figure.
Nobody would think she was a former member of the elite S.T.A.R.S. if she were walking the town out of uniform.
But once a crisis looms, she becomes a soldier more competent than anyone else.
She harbors various talents and is skilled in bomb disposal not to mention handling firearms, and what's more, she's adept in opening locks with lock picks if they're simple locks.
That is Jill Valentine.
Jill belonged to the S.T.A.R.S. Alpha Team with Chris.
Together, they were involved in a tragic incident in the horrifying Arklay Laboratory, popularly called the "Mansion Incident."
Although Jill went her separate ways with Chris in the mansion, she discovered the truth of the incident with Chris at the end.
The betrayals of their comrade Barry Burton and Captain Albert Wesker of S.T.A.R.S., who was pulling the strings in the background.
The existence of the t-Virus that turns humans into Zombies, and the scheme of the giant pharmaceutical company Umbrella.
Those truths determined Jill's subsequent fate.
After their safe return from the mansion, she reported the threat of Umbrella with Chris, but the investigation didn't move forward at all.
Irritated by this, the two decided to conduct their own investigation.
The subject of investigation was Umbrella's stronghold in Europe.
However, an important Umbrella research facility remained in Raccoon City, which she would observe as a S.T.A.R.S. member.
In order to investigate it, she decided to go to Europe after Chris.
And that dragged Jill into another incident.
In the midst of her investigation, the t-Virus began leaking from the Arklay Laboratory and was spread via rodents throughout the city.
Raccoon City, contaminated by the t-Virus, became a literal town of the dead roamed by Zombies.
And Umbrella, the principal cause of the incident, promptly reacted to this situation.
It sent the biohazard countermeasure unit "U.B.C.S." into the field site and deployed a bioweapon called the Nemesis-T Type to silence the surviving S.T.A.R.S. members.
As she planned her escape from the city while being pursued by the Nemesis-T Type, Jill met one man there.
A survivor of the U.B.C.S., Carlos Oliveira.
Although Carlos proposed working together to escape the city and believed his unit aimed to rescue civilians, his words weren't taken without reserve by Jill.
However, a situation was imminent.
Troubled by Raccoon City's virus contamination, the U.S. government was about to carry out a special bombing strike known as the "Sterilization Strategy."
What's more, Jill was infected with the t-Virus and believed escape to be hopeless.
But Carlos saved her from this predicament.
Carlos obtained a vaccine and administered it to the t-Virus infected Jill.
Jill recovered safely and, working with Carlos, they succeeding in escaping Raccoon City.
Then came 2003.
After the "T-A.L.O.S. Intercept Operation" carried out in Russia, Jill fought bioweapon crimes around the world as an early member of the BSAA (Original Eleven), along with Chris.
The two of them engaged in various ops, including thwarting bioweapon terror attacks in Asia, destroying South American bioweapon labs and apprehending traffickers in Europe, but they never would've imagined Umbrella's shadow would lie before them once again.
Its shadow was a deep, dark black.
It was the shape of Oswell E. Spencer, founder of Umbrella.
Having located Spencer's whereabouts, the duo hurried to arrest him and raided Spencer's room, only to find their mortal enemy and former superior, Albert Wesker.
When they saw Spencer's corpse lying at Wesker's feet, they quickly changed the mission to arrest Wesker.
A two-on-one situation is advantageous, for sure.
Wesker however had already become something surpassing mankind.
They were no match for Wesker at all.
Then, at the moment when Wesker's fist was about to pierce Chris' body, Jill reflexively ran.
Jill grappled Wesker with her momentum and crashed through the window, vanishing into the abyss and taking Wesker with her.
All that remained at that time was Chris and his screams.
The BSAA then conducted a massive search; but not a single one of her personal effects, let alone her body, were found.
Then on November 23, 2006, Jill was officially declared deceased and her name joined the BSAA's list of those killed in the line of duty.
Her story wasn't over yet though.
She'd disappeared down the cliff and was rescued by Wesker.
Wesker rescued Jill and simply kept her alive in a cryo-sleep state.
When the "Uroboros Project" was completed, he planned to use her as the first test subject.
This was Wesker's modest revenge.
However, the situation sided with Jill.
The sensors monitoring Jill's vital signs detected abnormal readings.
Something was happening in her body that once again attracted Wesker's interest.
Examination confirmed the presence of a mutated t-Virus within her body.
It was a remnant of the t-Virus she was once infected with in Raccoon City.
The t-Virus wasn't entirely exterminated by the vaccine, but remained alive lurking deep within her.
It was activated by her long cryo-sleep and surfaced.
Then the t-Virus soon vanished.
Powerful virus antibodies were discovered in her body.
After many years of incubating the t-Virus within her body, her self-defense capability resulted in what one could call a miracle.
And this fact delighted Wesker.
The Uroboros Virus was central to the Uroboros Project, but development was proving more challenging than anticipated.
The initial Uroboros Virus derived from the Progenitor flower was too virulent to use as it was.
Far from promoting the evolution of humanity, it beckoned death.
Wesker conceived of using the antibodies Jill possessed in order to counteract its virulence.
Jill was kept alive as a biofactory for antibodies.
She, who loathed bioterrorism more than anyone else and had thwarted many sinister plans, was now going to be used for the worst scheme of all.
There could be no greater irony.
Then the Uroboros Virus was completed.
Jill became unnecessary but was no longer suitable as a test subject for the Uroboros Virus.
Her body was full of high-purity virus antibodies.
Wesker thus decided to use her for something else.
There was a drug produced as a by-product of Progenitor Virus research.
The drug had no official name, merely called "P30" among the researchers.
When administered, a test subject can acquire superhuman capabilities and be mentally controlled at the same time.
In other words, it's a kind of doping.
The Uroboros Project's goal was evolving into a new human race.
In this sense, this drug was of minimal value.
But it could be utilized as a product.
Therefore, "P30" was studied in parallel with the "Plaga Project" for the purpose of creating the most powerful soldiers who never rebel, but it had a major drawback.
It had an extremely short duration of effectiveness.
A strong point was that after-effects barely remained if it were metabolized and discharged out of the body, but its effective duration was too short making it unmarketable as a product.
So they then devised continuous administration of the drug through an external device.
Even though its effective duration was short, it was still a powerful drug.
It was however unknown as to whether continuous administration would cause damage to the body.
In order to ascertain this, they decided to use Jill as a test subject.
An external device attached to her chest continuously administered the drug to Jill.
While it kept eating away at her mind, she was kept alive as Wesker and Excella's "toy", until the hour her ex-partner Chris released her from its spell.

NO. 10ジル·バレンタイン
華奢な体つきに端正な顔立ち。
街を私服で歩いていれば、彼女が精鋭S.T.A.R.S.の元隊員であるとは誰も思わないだろう。
だが、一旦有事となれば彼女は誰よりも優秀な兵士となる。
銃器の扱いはもちろんのこと、キーピックにより簡単な鍵であれば開錠してしまう器用さ、さらには爆発物処理のスキルと多彩な才能を備えている。
それがジル·バレンタインである。
ジルは、クリスと共にS.T.A.R.S.アルファチームに所属。
一緒に忌まわしいアークレイ研究所での惨事、通称「洋館事件」に巻き込まれる。
洋館内ではクリスと別行動を取ったジルだったが、最後にはクリスと共に事件の真相へとたどり着くこととなった。
仲間であったバリー·バートンの裏切り、そしてそれを裏で糸を引いていたS.T.A.R.S.の隊長アルバート·ウェスカー。
人間をゾンビのようにしてしまうt-ウィルスの存在、そして巨大製薬企業アンブレラの陰謀。
それらの真実が、その後のジルの運命を決定した。
洋館からの生還後、彼女はクリスと共にアンブレラの危険性を訴えるが、一向に調査は進まなかった。
それに業を煮やした二人は、独自の調査をすることにした。
調査対象は欧州にあるアンブレラの本拠地。
だが、彼女がS.T.A.R.S.の隊員として守るべきラクーンシティにもアンブレラの重要研究施設が残っていた。
それを調査するため、彼女はクリスに遅れて欧州へ向かうことにしたのだった。
そして、それがジルをもう一つの事件へと誘う。
調査の最中、アークレイ研究所からt-ウィルスが漏れ出し、それがネズミを媒介にして市全域に蔓延してしまったのだ。
t-ウィルスに汚染されたラクーンシティは、ゾンビが徘徊する文字通りの死の街となった。
そして、この事態にいち早く反応したのは、事件の元凶であるアンブレラであった。
バイオハザード対策部隊「U.B.C.S.」を現場に送り込み、さらには生き残ったS.T.A.R.S.隊員の口をふさぐためネメシス-T型と呼ばれる生物兵器を投入してきたのだ。
ネメシス-T型に追われながらも街からの脱出を図るジルは、そこで一人の男と出会う。
U.B.C.S.の生き残り、カルロス·オリヴェイラである。
自分たちの部隊が市民の救出を目的としていると信じて疑わないカルロスは、協力して街から脱出することを提案してくるが、ジルはその言葉を素直に受け止められずにいた。
だが、事態は切迫していた。
米政府はラクーンシティのウィルス汚染を問題視、「滅菌作戦」と称される特殊爆弾攻撃を決行しようとしていた。
さらにはジルがt-ウィルスに感染してしまい、脱出は絶望的かと思われた。
ワクチンを入手したカルロスは、t-ウィルスに感染したジルにそれを投与。
無事に回復したジルはカルロスと協力し、ラクーンシティ脱出に成功するのだった。
そして、2003年。
ロシアで行われた「T-A.L.O.S.阻止作戦」を経て、ジルはクリスと共にBSAAの初期メンバー（オリジナル·イレブン）として世界中の生物兵器犯罪に挑むこととなった。
アジアでの生物兵器テロ阻止、南米の生物兵器研究所の壊滅作戦、欧州での密売人の逮捕作戦、様々な作戦に従事した二人であったが、再びその前にアンブレラの影が横たわることになるとは思ってもみなかっただろう。
その影は、深く濃い黒だった。
アンブレラの創始者オズウエル·E·スペンサーの存在である。
スペンサーの居場所を突き止めた二人は逮捕に急行、スペンサーの部屋に踏み込むが、そこにいたのはかつての上司、そして仇敵であるアルバート·ウェスカーであった。
ウェスカーの足元に転がるスペンサーの骹を確認した二人 は、急遽ウェスカー逮捕に作戦を変更した。
2対1、絶対的に有利な状況である。
だが、ウェスカーはすでに人間を超えた存在になっていた。
二人は、全くウェスカーに歯が立たなかった。
そして、ウェスカーの拳がクリスの胴体を貫こうとした瞬間、ジルは反射的に走った。
勢いのままウェスカーに組み付いたジルは窓を突き破り、そのままウェスカーを道連れに奈落の底へと消えていった。
その場に残ったのは、クリスと、彼の叫び声だけであった。
その後、BSAAの手による大規模な捜索が行われたが、死体 どころか遺留品ひとつも発見されなかった。
そして2006年11月23日、ジル·バレンタインは公式に死 亡と認定され、BSAAの殉職者リストに名を連ねることとなった。
だが、彼女のストーリーはまだ終わっていなかった。
崖下に消えた彼女は、あろうことかウェスカーに救出されていたのだった。
ジルを救出したウェスカーは、そのまま彼女を冷凍睡眠状態で生かし続けた。
「ウロボロス計画」が完成した際には、被験体第一号として彼女を利用しようとしていたのである。
これは、ウェスカーのささやかな復讐であった。
しかし、事態はジルに味方をした。
ジルの生命反応を監視していたセンサーが、異常な数値を検知したのだ。
彼女の体内で何かが起ころうとしており、それが再びウェスカーの興味を引くこととなった。
検査の結果、彼女の体内に変異したt-ウィルスが存在することが確認された。
それは、かつてラクーンシティで感染したt-ウィルスの残滓であった。
t-ウィルスはワクチンで完全に駆逐されたわけではなく、彼女の奥深くに潜み生き続けていたのだ。
それが長時間の冷凍睡眠状態で活性化、表に顔を出してきたのである。
そのt-ウィルスは、程なくして消滅してしまった。
だが、残った物もあった。
体内から、強力なウィルス抗体が発見されたのだ。
長年体内にt-ウィルスを潜伏させ続けた末に、彼女の自己防衛能力が生み出した- つの奇跡といえるだろう。
そして、この事実はウェスカーを歓喜させた。
ウロボロス計画の中心であるウロボロス·ウィルスであるが、開発は予想以上に難航していた。
始祖花から生成された初期のウロボロス·ウィルスは、毒性が強すぎて、そのままでは使用できなかった。
人類の進化を促すどころか、死へと誘ってしまうのだ。
ウェスカーはその毒性を弱めるため、ジルが持つ抗体の利用を思いついたのである。
ジルは抗体の生体工場として生かし続けられた。
生物兵器テロを人一倍憎み、数々の陰謀を阻止してきた彼女が、最悪の陰謀のために利用されようとしている。
これほどの皮肉はないだろう。
そして、ウロボロス·ウィルスが完成した。
用済みになったジルであったが、ウロボロス·ウィルスの被験体にはふさわしくない。
彼女の体内には、純度の高いウィルス抗体が充満しているのだ。
そこでウェスカーは、違うやり方で彼女を利用することにした。
始祖ウィルス研究の副産物として生み出された薬品があった。
その薬品に正式な名前はなく、研究員の間ではただ単に「P30」と呼ばれていた。
これを投与されると、被験体は精神を支配されるのと同時に、超人的なパワーを身に付けることができる。
つまりは一種のドーピングである。
ウロボロス計画の目的は、新たな人類への進化である。
その意味では、この薬品の存在価値は低い。
だが、商品としては使えるかもしれない。
こうして、同じく決して反抗することのない最強の兵士を生み出すための「プラーガ計画」と平行して研究が続けられた「P30」であったが、大きな欠点があった。
効果時間が極端に短いのである。
代謝されて体外に排出されればほとんど後遺症が残らないのは長所だが、効果時間が短すぎるのでは商品として売り物にならない。
そこで考案されたのが、体外装置による薬剤の継続投与であった。
だが、効果時間が短いとは言え強力な薬品に違いはない。
継続投与は、どれほど体にダメージを与えるか分からない。
それを知るため、ジルを被験体とすることにしたのだ。
胸に付けられた体外装置は、継続的にジルに薬剤を投与し続けた。
そして、その精神を蝕み続け、かつてのパートナー、クリスがその呪縛を解き放つ時まで、ウェスカーとエクセラの"玩具"として彼女を生かし続けたのである。

JILL VALENTINE
Listed within this file is a general background information overview of former S.T.A.R.S. agent - Jill Valentine - as pieced together from various sources. The information listed here is neither complete nor should it be used as a psychological analysis of the subject.
When a crisis situation arises, few soldiers excel to the level of Jill Valentine. She is proficient in the use of various firearms, is a master at lock picking, and is skilled in the disposal of explosives. Jill's talents make her an integral component of any fighting force. Like Chris Redfield, Jill was a member of the S.T.A.R.S. Alpha Team. She was also involved in the tragedy at the Arklay Research Facility (also known as the "Mansion Incident"). During the incident, Jill and Chris operated independently, but together discovered the truth behind the facility. They learned that Barry Burton was not really a traitor, but was being controlled by Albert Wesker, Captain of Alpha Team. In addition to Wesker's machinations, they also learned the source of the zombie outbreak was due to the release of the T-Virus, and that Umbrella was more than just an ordinary pharmaceutical company.
What Jill learned at the Arklay Research Facility would have profound repercussions on the rest of her life. Following their return from the mansion, Chris and Jill attempted to inform the authorities of Umbrella's activities. For all their good intentions, they were met with no movement towards any official investigation into the company. Fed up with the lack of response, the two took it upon themselves to investigate Umbrella. They concentrated their efforts on Umbrella's main base of operations in Europe. As a S.T.A.R.S. member entrusted with protecting Raccoon City, Jill chose to remain in the city for the time being and investigate the Umbrella research facility there before rendezvousing with Chris in Europe.
This decision led to her involvement in the Raccoon City incident. During her investigation, rodents infected with the T-Virus from the Arklay Research Facility began to spread the virus into the city. The virus quickly spread, infecting a majority of the residents. Umbrella, the perpetrators behind this incident, reacted swiftly. Umbrella sent in the Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service (U.B.C.S.) to handle the situation, and they also dispatched the bioweapon Nemesis T-Type to take out any surviving S.T.A.R.S. members, who Umbrella now considered a threat. Jill attempted to escape from Raccoon City all the while being hunted by the Nemesis T-Type. During this time she encountered a member of the U.B.C.S. team, Carlos Oliveira.
Carlos claimed his team was on a rescue mission to save any survivors in Raccoon City. Having no reason to doubt that mission's purpose, he proposed to help Jill escape. Jill, on the other hand, had her doubts. However, the situation had reached critical proportions and Jill did not have the luxury of time. The U.S. government was planning on containing the spread of the virus by launching a special missile strike on the city called Operation: Bacillus Terminate. When Jill became infected with the T-Virus as a result of the nemesis T-Type, she despaired of ever being able to get out alive. Fortunately for her, Carlos was there to help. Carlos obtained a cue to the T-Virus infection and gave it to Jill. After her recovery, she worked with Carlos and they successfully escaped from Raccoon City.
In 2003, after Operation: T-A.L.O.S., Jill and Chris became two of the original eleven founding members of the BSAA, and joined them in their fight against bio weapons and bio terrorism around the world. Chris and Jill stopped bio weapons in Asia, destroyed bio weapon labs in South America, arrested smugglers in Europe, and patrolled the world in an attempt to stamp out all bio weapons. Throughout their activities, while they may have suspected the long fingers of Umbrella as being involved, they never had any conclusive proof.
Those long fingers, however, would turn out to be connected to the hands of Umbrella's founder, Ozwell E. Spencer. The pair received intel on Spencer's whereabouts and rushed off to arrest him only to find their former Captain and hated enemy, Albert Wesker. Seeing Spencer's crumpled corpse on the ground, the two changed their plans to arrest Wesker instead. In a two-on-one fight, Chris and Jill should have had the advantage, but Wesker's strength and agility were well beyond that of any normal human. For all their training, Jill and Chris were no match for Wesker. As Wesker was about to end Chris's life, Jill made the ultimate sacrifice. Lunging at Wesker, she threw both herself and him out of a window, and over the side of a cliff. Chris could do nothing as he watched his partner fall to her death.
BSAA launched a full-scale search operation, but neither Jill's body nor any of her personal effects were ever recovered. On November 23, 2006, Jill Valentine was officially declared dead, and her name was added to the list of BSAA members who died in the line of duty. But Jill's story did not end there. The fall did not kill Jill nor Wesker. Though badly hurt and unconscious, Jill was saved by Wesker. After giving her the medical treatment she required, he placed her in a cryogenic sleep. Once the Uroboros Plan was finalized, Wesker intended to use her as the first test subject. This was Wesker's way of exacting his revenge.
Fortunately for Jill, luck was on her side. The apparatus monitoring her vital signs detected some abnormalities. Something was happening inside Jill's body, and Wesker's curiosity was piqued. Further investigation showed that a mutated from of the T-Virus was still inside her body. It was a remnant from her infection in Raccoon City. The cure she was given was supposed to have eradicated all traces of the virus in her body, but instead it caused the virus to go into a dormant state. Her extended period in a cryogenic sleep somehow reactivated the virus. Shortly after being reactivated the T-Virus completely disappeared from her body, but it left something else in its place. Wesker found that Jill's body now contained powerful antibodies to the virus.
All those years the T-Virus was inside her body forced it to develop a defense system that was nothing short of miraculous. This discovery would help further Wesker's ambitions. The development of the Uroboros Virus, the centerpiece of the Uroboros Plan, had proven to be quite difficult. The Uroboros Virus developed from the Progenitor flower proved to be too poisonous to humans to be of much use. Instead of spurring the next step in human evolution, it only invited death. Wesker theorized that using Jill's antibodies could make the virus less poisonous. He kept Jill alive solely to produce antibodies for his research.
Jill, who had reviled bioweapons and devoted her life to eradicating them, was ironically being used to develop the most terrible bioweapon of all. After much research and experimentation, Wesker finally perfected the Uroboros Virus. Jill's participation in its development meant that she was no longer a suitable test subject. Pure and unadulterated antibodies with high resistance to the virus permeated her body. Wesker decided he would find a suitable use for her elsewhere. During the research into the Progenitor virus, an ancillary chemical was discovered. The researchers referred to it as simply - P30. When administered to test subjects, it would not only give them superhuman strength, but also rendered them highly susceptible to control.
P30 was the ultimate performance enhancer. The aims of the Uroboros Plan were to create a new breed of humans, so P30's application in this plan was inconsequential. However, for the time being it could be marketed as a product and garner additional funding. Research into creating the ultimate soldier who didn't resist orders was carried out simultaneously on Las Plagas and P30. Unfortunately, the latter had a severe drawback. The effects of P30 would only last for a very short time. An injection of P30 was metabolized and expelled by the body at an expeditious rate requiring re administration of the drug at frequent intervals. This greatly lessened the viability of such a product as a long-term performance enhancer. The only counter to such a drawback was to attach a device to the subject that would continually administer the drug.
While P30's effects were brief, it was still a powerful and effective drug. The effects of continual administration were untested, so in order to research this aspect further an administration device was attached to Jill. An external device was attached to Jill's chest that would continually administer the drug to her body. With her freewill constantly being usurped, she remained a servant to Excella and Wesker until Chris and Sheva destroyed the administration device.
