Resident Evil: Code Veronica

Claire's search for her brother takes her to Umbrella's European HQ. Unfortunately, she's captured and taken to an Umbrella-run prison island. An outbreak of the T-virus hits the island, so Claire manages to escape along with fellow prisoner Steve Burnside. They escape the attention of the loony Alfred Ashford, the head of the facility, by escaping to an Antarctic base. Claire's brother Chris follows them there, where they defeat Alfred and his mutated twin sister Alexia. Both Claire and Chris survive, but Steve is injected with a new T-Veronica virus and dies.

Links in the chain

Umbrella co-founder Edward Ashford also worked on the Progenitor Virus, but wanted to use its regenerative powers for the benefit of humanity. Unfortunately, he dies - of natural causes, though.

Alexia works on her grandfather's Progenitor virus herself and creates the powerful T-Veronica virus, which she tests on her father unsuccessfully - but she fares rather better testing it on herself.

great article. Now you should do a favor to the humanity and write the genesis of metal gear and metal gear solid because not even the Metal gear solid database helped me to understand such entangled story. And I won't say "first" EVEN HAVING THE OPORTUNITY because I consider it to be a waste of time.

I knew what happened in 0 and 1 because I read the books, which I liked. RE rocks! And what is with the first thing anyway!?!

I thought I was fairly in the know about the RE series geuss not. Grat article needed to be done... so that RE 5 can come along and screw it up. ( see great story gone horribly wrong: indigo prophecy, metal gear solid 2, etc.)
