Umbrella Pharmaceuticals Incorporated

A large pharmaceutical chemical-engineering company that began in Europe. Producers of military weapons, electronic devices, medicenes, public health and more. It was founded by Ozwell E. Spencer, James Marcus and Edward Ashford in the early 1900s as a small pharmacy bussiness which has now grown into a huge multi-national corporation that deals with aspects of military and public. They have their own security team, police force and two military units. Umbrella is one of the most well-known pharmaceutical organizations in the world.

Finding a flower
In 1966, Ozwell Spencer, Dr. Marcus and Brandon Bailey went on an expedition in Africa. They read an encyclopedia that detailed the "powers" given to those that could survive the poisonous blossom of a mysterious plant. The group found Ndipaya, an old-century city that lies in ruins, and the mysterious flowers the city surrounded. The flower seemed to carry a new kind of virus unknown to the world. The three scientists named this the "Progenator Virus." Alfred entended to use the virus for it's regenerative abilities, such as making the handicap walk. However, they discovered that the plant would not concieve the virus in normal habitat. In order to "bring the habitat to them," Spencer had the idea of starting a company of research.

The Birth of Umbrella
In 1967, Spencer wanted a place to live and do heavy lab work to try and start off Umbrella. He decided to move into the Arklay Mountains, a forrest area that surrounds Raccoon City, a poor mountain community. Spencer payed George Trevor a sum of money to build him a large mansion in the woods with many "secret rooms" to store chemicals and labs. Sadly, Trevor's wife and daughter died while visiting in-laws. George soon went missing and to this day has not been found. In the next year, Ashford tragically died from over-exposure to chemicals, leaving James Marcus and Ozwell Spencer in charge. With Edward's large amounts of money left to his research and two scientist's knowledge, Umbrella Pharmaceuticals Inc. was founded.

The Growth of Umbrella
When Marcus combined leech DNA with the Progenitor Virus, he created a new (but highly deadly) virus which he called the Tyrant Virus (T-Virus). The virus can do weel to the host with it's super regenerative abilities but if passed on in the wrong way, it can turn into a deadly infection. Marcus put the t-virus in a mixture of chemicals and herbs to create the "First Aid Spray", a "to go" medicene that can heal wounds that aren't fatal and sometimes the common cold. After patenting the spray and showing it to the public, Umbrella began to show it's helpful face to the public.
