About The Clan

The Umbrella Corporation is one of the most active clans in G2, so what everyone in it says. We always have something fun to do, and are always looking for ways to make it more fun and active. We have a great group of Asst. Leaders helping the clan stay active and standing. We have random games to win fun prizes, a ranking program, some fun background stories about who we are and what are ranks are all about, fun spam games, discussions about the clan, and a set loan program to keep track of our money.

To see more, you'll have to join.

We do not expect everyone joining to know what Resident Evil is, or expect them to like it. It is only what the clans name and ranks are based on. Of course we have a thread to discuss the likes, dislikes, confusion, and questions about resident evil, and all it's connections, but as said before, it is only for thoes who wish to use it.

You will not be kicked for inactivity, the game will do that itself. We do not expect donations at all, but if you wish to doante to our bank, you are more then welcome. There are no strict rules, only that we wish to see you active in our forum. If you break TOS, try to make anyone in the clan feel uncomfortable, or try scamming us, you will be kicked. Other then that you can and are always willing to stay as long as you want.

Umbrella Background

The Umbrella Corporation is a fictional based organization in the video games/movies of resident evil.

The Umbrella Corporation is huge, and is a major player in things like pharmaceuticals, medical hardware, defense, and computers along with more clandestine operations utilizing genetic engineering and bio weapons. We are also more on the lines of a public face, producing cosmetics and consumer products.

What we keep on the down low is our private military company, with a highly-trained security force capable of rescue, reconnaissance, and para-military operations. Our company utilizes the force to secure and protect its assets and high profile employees.

Umbrella's History

The Umbrella Corporation was founded by Lord Ozwell E. Spencer, a descendant of the British Royal Family, in the 1960s. Dr.James Marcus and Sir Edward Ashford were also involved in the formation of the company, but they were far more interested in the potential uses of the newly-discovered Progenitor Virus.

When Ashford died in 1968, Spencer was able to largely sideline Marcus at the Raccoon City facilities while he maintained control over the company for the next thirty years. Soon Umbrella had multiple research facilities and various researches being done on various bioweapon viruses - T-Virus, Nemesis parasite et al - but it was the Arklay Research Facility that became the most prominent. However, it was noted by researcher Albert Wesker that the military potential of the T-Virus would never make up for the cost of research & production, and that the Arklay facility seemed to be deliberately placed in an area where any leak would cause an uncontrollable outbreak.

Spencer eventually grew distrustful of Marcus, as he was worried that the scientist might supplant him as Umbrella's CEO. Spencer arranged for his assassination by Wesker and William Birkin. Birkin would subsequently take over all of Marcus' research, including the studies on the Progenitor Virus.

Ten years later Marcus was brought back to life by a mutated leach known as the Queen leach. Marcus would exact his revenge on Spencer and Umbrella by releasing the T-Virus into the Arklay Research Facility's water supply, turning the facility personnel into zombies and leaving the laboratory and mansion in complete chaos, allowing for the team's extremely dangerous research specimens to escape into the surrounding area.

Birkin and Wesker used this as a diversion for their own plans to leave Umbrella, taking their research with them. Wesker, having formed Raccoon City's elite S.T.A.R.S. unit two years previous, would develop a plan to lure the team to the Spencer Mansion to obtain battle data from the conflict that would surely follow. Spencer Mansion had been constructed above the actual laboratory to conceal it from negative interests such as the government and local populace, and was now crawling with infected researchers and experiments wandering its halls. Although the Tyrant was deployed, resulting in unforseen side-effects for Wesker, both the laboratory and the rampaging Tyrant were destroyed by S.T.A.R.S. Alpha Team before making its escape back to Raccoon City with a single Bravo Team survivor.

Wesker was forced to go into hiding for a number of months, using his operative Ada Wong to carry out his objectives, including the recovery of Birkin's ultimate creation, the G-Virus. Several months after the Arklay incident, William Birkin finally perfected the viral strain that he'd been toiling to achieve since obtaining Marcus' research so many years earlier, the G-Virus. Birkin planned to use the virus to force the Umbrella Corporation into allowing him onto their executive board, but then changed his plans when he found that selling it directly to the U.S. Government would prove far more profitable.

Umbrella deployed its elite U.S.S. team (a para-military black-operations unit created for Umbrella's most clandestine purposes) in a desperate bid to stop Birkin from handing over his ultimate creation. Although Birkin was mortally wounded in the ensuing conflict, and the G-Virus was successfully recovered by Umbrella, he was able to inject the G-Virus into his own body and devastate most of the team before it could make its escape.

This event would be indirectly responsible for unleashing the T-Virus on Raccoon City. While the Arklay incident had been relatively isolated and concealed from the public, and Umbrella's control over key government and law enforcement personnel had ensured that any record of what had occurred could be safely swept into obscurity, they were now faced with an entire city infected with the T-Virus and a trail leading directly back to the Umbrella Corporation. This would prove exceedingly difficult, even for Umbrella, to simply disappear.

Umbrella's fortunes failed to improve after the Raccoon City incident. The U.S. Government was forced to take extreme measures to ensure the spread of the T-Virus was stopped for good. Mission Code XX was approved for immediate deployment, and Raccoon City was annihilated via an air-to-surface surgical missile strike. Contrary to popular belief, there was no cover-up following the incident.
