My birth… I don't remember much of it. I know both my parents were highly respected scholars under Lord Spencer, but they were still very poor. When Lord Spencer offered them money in order to buy me, they couldn't resist. They figured I would be better off with Lord Spencer than living in the streets of a split Germany. Both my parents were living inside communist controlled Berlin and were great researchers for the Soviet Union, but they didn't want me living under the Soviet flag so they sold me to Lord Spencer.

After my birth, Lord Spencer gave me the name of Alex Wesker and ensured me that I would be just as intelligent, if not more so, than my parents by taking me to the best tutors the world could offer. I traveled the world with Lord Spencer and I couldn't help but look up to he and his colleagues. I remember often traveling with Lord Spencer, Doctor James Markus and and Markus' student Brandon Bailey. The three would consistently show me their research and allow me to help them at a young age. Then on December 4, 1968 I remember waking up in a medical ward. Strange IVs were attached me. I won't lie, I was scared, but Lord Spencer assured me that everything would be fine; that during our trip to Africa I had contracted a virus but Lord Spencer had found a cure and was giving it to me.

After that day, I noticed that I was able to grasp things faster and knowledge came to me more naturally. I also felt stronger and faster. That was when Lord Spencer began building the Spencer Estate in Raccoon City. My time there was short, but I remember the hot summers with Lisa Trevor as we played in the backyard while her father worked on the mansion. Lord Spencer had managed to get me a high school diploma by the age of ten, and accepted to Harvard University for genetic engineering and biology. I was looked down upon for my young age but I focused all my energies into being what Lord Spencer always wanted me to be. While at Harvard I had heard about the deaths of Trevor family. At first I felt grief, but I continued my studies.

I ended up graduating top of my class by age nineteen and joined Umbrella's research and development team in Raccoon City. The day I arrived was a day I will always remember. The R&D facility was a large building inside Raccoon City. The main hall that I was in was a large white room with hundreds of fold out chairs sat out for the new researchers and scientists. In front of us was a brown wooden stage with a nice wooden podium at the edge of it with the red and white Umbrella logo stamped on the front of it. Sitting on the stage were several more fold out chairs; in these chairs were the heads of the departments in this area.

There were several new scientists at the gathering but two of them stuck out to me as rivals; a young William Birkins and Albert Wesker, both of whom behind me. William Birkin was a mess. His dirty blonde hair was tangled and greasy. His blue button down t-shirt was wrinkled and had a mustard stain over the torn pocket. William Birkin couldn't stop fidgeting and moving. Albert Wesker, however, was calm and collective. His blonde hair slicked back and his eyes were covered by dark sunglasses. I couldn't help but feel uneasy around Albert. He always seemed to have some kind of plan and was always plotting something against everyone.

Everyone in the room grew silent as Lord Spencer took center stage, and everyone who was standing was now sitting in their metal fold out chairs. The side chatter had stopped as Lord Spencer spoke, "I would like to welcome you all here today. You all are the greatest minds the world has to offer and the Umbrella Corporation would like to thank you all for coming to us. All of you are exceptionally skilled in your fields of genetics, biology, and chemistry. I will be personally overseeing all of your research with the help of Doctor James Markus, the head of this facility. Doctor Markus, do you have anything to say?"

Lord Spencer backed away from the wooden podium and Doctor Markus walked up, "Thank you Lord Spencer. None of this would be possible without you. I have spoken to all of you personally and interviewed each of you myself. When you leave this room, you will be given your personal IDs. Each ID will have a clearance on it. If you have a red clearance, please meet me at the Spencer Estate. You all will be helping me with one of our key researchers. Lastly, I too welcome you all to the Umbrella Corporation."

Everyone in the room got up and the chatting began as people questioned where they would be working at. I remained sitting, waiting for the lines to die down. I glanced back to see Albert Wesker and his friend still sitting in the back. As I began to try to unravel the mystery of Albert Wesker, a cold hand grabbed my shoulder and I jumped. I quickly spun around to see Lord Spencer and Doctor Markus smiling at me.

I got up and hugged Lord Spencer, "It is good to see you two again."

"Aye, it is great seeing you again Alex. You have gotten big since the last time I saw you." Lord Spencer replied.

Doctor Markus shook my hand, "How was Harvard?"

I smiled and looked back at where Albert and William were, but they had vanished now. "Harvard was dull. The professors there were very boring and it seemed that I was able to grasp the text books better than they did. The dean of the university actually offered me a job at graduation. I do wish you were there Lord Spencer."

"I know you do, and I would have been, but the company needed me here at that time." Lord Spencer replied.

I nodded. I always knew that Lord Spencer put the company's needs before anyone, even himself. During winter break when I had come back to the Spencer Estate, Lord Spencer was very sick with the flu, but he still went to board meetings and made public appearances. Even now I could tell Lord Spencer was ill from his pale cold touch. Looking into his eyes, I could see death knocking at his door. I forced a smile, even though I felt hurt, "I know how proud you are of me, and that's all that matters."

Doctor Markus patted me on the back, "We are all proud of you. You're like a son to all of us."

Doctor Markus may have come off to other people as cold and cruel but he was a really kind guy, at least to me. He always knew what to say to cheer me up. I smiled for real, "Well I guess I should get my ID and meet up with you two at the Spencer Estate. Doctor Markus already told me that I'm cleared for red clearance."

Lord Spencer glared at Doctor Markus and he put his hands up as if someone was holding him at gunpoint. I turned and headed to the front entrance of the Raccoon City R&D labs. I meet a cheerful young woman standing by the doors. She wasn't wearing a lab coat, but a tight yellow jacket, unzipped enough to show a white revealing tank top and short blue jeans. I could tell that she was very comfortable from the warm summer heat. As I approached her, she smiled.

"You must be Doctor Alex Wesker?" She replied pushing her long blonde hair out of her eyes.

"That I am, I guess I'm the last one to get my ID?" I replied.

Before she could say anything, a dark voice replied from behind me, "So you're Alex Wesker?"

I turned around to see Wesker standing against the wall behind me. I hadn't seen him since he was standing next to a tree which blocked my view of him. He had his arms crossed and his head held high. I still couldn't tell if he was looking at me or the young woman, "That I am, and you are Albert Wesker. I've heard a lot about you."

"I want to make this very clear, don't think because we have the same last name we are friends or brothers." Albert stated.

I glared at him, and grinned, "I was about to say the same thing. We are rivals in this company Albert, and don't you forget that."

Albert didn't reply. He simply headed out of the front sliding doors. I turned back to the woman and smiled, "I would like my ID now."
