outperformed all of them handily, and rumours of Umbrella's new bio-weapon began to spread. was completed and tested against a special forces unit, two armoured vehicles, and an attack helicopter. There, under the continued guidance of Sergei, the T-A.L.O.S. project was moved to Umbrella's Russian branch - having been recovered from the NEST during the outbreak - which was now the company's last enduring stronghold. Sergei was successful in his mission, and the prototype was safely brought back into Umbrella's hands before the Mansion was destroyed.įollowing the outbreak in Raccoon City, the Umbrella Corporation was forced underground and most of its activities were shut down. prototype (formerly designated as T-011) so that its research would not be wasted. Spencer personally ordered his most trusted enforcer, Sergei Vladimir, to recover the T-A.L.O.S. Realizing that the Spencer Mansion facility's days were numbered, Umbrella founder Oswell E. was intended to be the ultimate superior bio-weapon, but before it could be completed, development was interrupted by an outbreak of the t-Virus perpetrated by former Umbrella researcher James Marcus. The result of this intensive research was T-A.L.O.S. preserved the natural abilities of the Tyrant while granting incredible firepower. However, the use of enhanced armour modules, internal reinforcement implants, long-distance homing weaponry, etc. Most Tyrants were unsuited for weaponry, as it would only hinder their two strong points – motor performances and response reflexes. The Arklay team's solution was to arm a Tyrant with specialized combat firepower and armour. When facing armoured fighting vehicles or military-grade helicopters, a Tyrant's kill ratio begins to falter. Normal Tyrants boasted a combat prowess and survivability beyond the best trained combat troops, but they were only capable of successfully deterring one military division. Not satisfied with just superior control, the Arklay team wanted a bio-weapon that could match the firepower of heavy military hardware. This method allowed bio-weapons to be remotely controlled by a supercomputer like the Red Queen. The Arklay team, however, conceived of an even better solution by using chip connections to brain cells. Umbrella's 6th Research Lab in Europe had already discovered one method of control by using an organic parasite, and their " Nemesis Project" would reach completion in time for deployment in Raccoon City. In order to enable safe transport and deployment, a more stable solution was essential. Most Tyrants are prone to sudden cellular mutations that can result in the halting of functionality, impairment of judgement, and the various other detrimental conditions. With the Tyrant programme progressing smoothly, a proposal was made to begin developing a new, highly advanced bio-weapon that would overcome the one major flaw in existing Tyrants: lack of control. as the North American Branch's answer to the Nemesis-T Type, an Umbrella Europe project.įollowing the successful creation of the Tyrant-002, the Umbrella research team stationed at the Umbrella Lab in the Arklay Mountains found themselves well on their way towards a marketable humanoid Bio Organic Weapon. The Umbrella research team stationed at the Arklay Laboratory originally conceived the T-A.L.O.S.
