Resident Evil 4

Set six years after the events of the Raccoon City outbreak, the Umbrella company has seemingly collapsed. Leon Kennedy is now working as an agent for the U.S. government and is sent to find the President's daughter, who has been kidnapped. His search takes him to Spain, where he finds a whole settlement under the influence of a mind-controlling parasite called Las Plagas. This is the work of cult leader Osmund Saddler, who Leon manages to defeat with Ada Wong - an agent seemingly working for Albert Wesker.

Links in the chain

At the end of Resident Evil: Gaiden, Leon is seen bleeding green blood, suggesting he has been infected by a strain of the T-Virus. However when we see him RE 4, he is alive and well.

The T-Veronica virus has similar qualities to the Las Plagas virus in Resident Evil 4, as the creatures infected behave in a hive-like manner obeying the orders of a "queen" or leader without thought.

Conclusion?
The mutagenic Progenitor Virus - the mother virus of the T-virus - was devised by James Marcus, Ozwell Spencer and Edward Ashford. So there.

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 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.)
