Research on new Virus diseases

25 year old, Albert left for Russia to meet his 16 year old, cousin in the winter of 1985. Nickolai, too was a scientist. Together Albert and Nickolai came up with the blueprints for the Alexander 0-Virus. The new virus was a variation of the T-Virus. The new and special virus was found in a test subject; they had only begun their plans. They had injected the T-Virus into three test subjects. Each subject was a different animal; one was a wolf, one was a rare flower, and the last was an unknown strain of bacteria.

Over the next 2 months they noticed changes in the wolf. The wolf began to shed it's fur and it's skin began to harden into a leathery material. It's ferociousness tripled and a new taste for blood came as of surprise. They exterminated the wolf and kept the DNA sample. The Sample showed little difference than the original Virus. So they began observation of the rare flower. The flower grew to an astonishing 10 feet tall. The flower's bell grew large enough to fit a normal adult in it. The stem grew harder and similar to a tree's trunk.

It developed other branches that grew fruit on them. The fruit looked similar to a false mango. Inside the hard shell was a small flower. One day a hired hand was eaten by the flower, this proved that the flower had developed animalistic tendencies. The sample proved like the wolves' and they scraped the project. Finally a sick women had come to them for treatment for an undiagnosed bacteria that was found in her Pancreas. They extracted her pancreas and had her killed.

The exposure of the T-Virus to the Bacteria created small parasitic organisms from the DNA of the pancreas. They named the new virus The Alexander 0-Virus; they began tests on living creatures and they noticed it had mutative affects on the living organisms. The hosts seemed to take more damage than a normal creature but, just as the T-Virus had a weakness to fire, this virus did too. This virus proved that it could survive in the cold climate of Russia. They then gave their findings to the Umbrella Asia Branch. The findings were never released because the virus could only be used in cold climates; this wouldn't be very useful in a BOW.

Albert left to return back to America; Nickolai seemed relentless and he continued his research. He also created a new strain of the T-Virus called TR-Virus. This virus was a hybrid of Rabies and the T-Virus. This new virus made it possible to create a far more aggressiveness in the infected. The virus, if exposed to a living organism it extended it's life span to a maximum of 30 days rather than 20 days. The test subjects also could be used to create special rare enzymes and hormones that mutated the subject in a primitive way. The TR-Virus was kept secret in a special containment cell inside the frozen corpse of the test subject.

Nickolai became a leading researcher and developer of viruses and medicines. He kept in contact with Albert and Nickolai eventually became the leading researcher of the Russia Branch of the Umbrella Company. He proved through Radiation testing that his virus, the Alexander 0-Virus was able to withstand the heat of a human body and that it could be stored inside a human body where it could hibernate until the parasites were able to grow. Nickolai was given a chance to test his virus in a small town in Russia called Mokalaiv. The same time that this was happening Albert had begun his research with the NE-T Virus. Albert told his cousin of the break through of the G-Virus and then Nickolai knew what he had to do to test his virus. He had his Alexander Virus inserted into a Tyrant. The Tyrant was then sent to the town. The tests showed splendid but Nickolai left his position of power and exiled himself to his mansion in the country. He stayed there and began research again.

" The TR-Outbreak"

The Umbrella Company found some of the research on this virus and decided that they should test it. The virus was let loose; Nickolai was outraged and he gave the anti-virus to the Umbrella Company saying, " That virus was a failure, I demand you release the Anti-Virus!" They released the anti-virus but with out serious effects. On the positive side people wanted the Vaccine so they made a profit, but on the negative side many people died. Umbrella didn't care so Nickolai began a plan that with the help of his Cousin could get revenge on Umbrella. They began research on the Alexander A-Virus and the Alexander B-Virus. The research ended in 2004 nearly 10 years later.

Rumor has it that Nickolai named the virus the Alexander because he knew it would be a very effective BOW virus just as Alexander the Great was a conquer.
