Deemed a failure, the T-001 was awaiting disposal at NEST until James Marcus unleashed it during his campaign of revenge against Umbrella. Due to what was determined to be an overdose of T-Virus during its initial infection, the T-001 was completed with numerous flaws including a compromised nervous system and reduced intelligence. The T-001 was created at Umbrella's Arklay Mountain Laboratory, a prototype model for the finished T-002. By 1998, Umbrella had succeeded in creating the T-001 model, also known as the Proto-Tyrant, a flawed experimental model of Tyrant. Compared to the standard human mutant created by the T-Virus, the zombie, the Tyrant was to be considerably larger, stronger, more durable, and intelligent, making it a very attractive weapon for military application. The project began in 1988, with the goal of creating the ultimate biological weapon for military use. The Tyrant was the intended end result of the Umbrella Corporation's aptly-named Tyrant Project, deriving its name from the Tyrant Virus (better known as the T-Virus) used to create the bioweapon. With the Umbrella Corporation effectively defunct, it is safe to say the Tyrant has outlived its original creators. Nemesis was itself eventually destroyed by Jill Valentine.įollowing the Raccoon City incident, numerous bioweapons spun off from the Tyrant Project have seen action, as have more Tyrants cloned from the T-103 series. William Birkin, now mutated into the creature known as "G." Around the same time, a T-103 model was deliberately infected with the NE-α parasite, creating the bioweapon known as Nemesis T-Type, which was deployed in Raccoon City to eliminate any remaining members of S.T.A.R.S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield during its mission, and was destroyed by either Leon or Dr. One of these models, designated T-00, was assigned to recover a sample of the G-Virus as well as eliminate any surviving police officers or civilians hiding in the Raccooon City Police Station. Umbrella eventually perfected the Tyrant with the mass-produced T-103 model, unleashing six of them into Raccoon City during the T-Virus outbreak there. Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine, Barry Burton, and Rebecca. The improved T-002 was unleashed by Wesker in Umbrella's Arklay Mountain Laboratory and was destroyed by the combined efforts of S.T.A.R.S. member Rebecca Chambers and escaped fugitive Billy Coen before being ultimately destroyed by Albert Wesker. The first model of Tyrant, the T-001 or Proto-Tyrant, was unleashed in 1998 and did battle with S.T.A.R.S. Several different models of Tyrant have been engineered since the start of the Tyrant Project, and the bioweapon has largely outlived Umbrella itself. Created using the same T-Virus which also gives rise to zombies, Tyrants are characterized by their much larger size, more powerful physique, and greater intelligence. The Tyrants (タイラント, Tairanto) are bio-organic weapons originally engineered by the Umbrella Corporation as part of the Tyrant Project from 1988 to 1998, and major antagonists in the Resident Evil franchise. ~ Ben Bertolucci remarking on the T-00 and its goal in the remake of Resident Evil 2.

Chances are they've ordered it to wipe out the witnesses. To think that that thing might be wandering around here.

The ultimate bioweapon, developed by those bastards in the utmost secrecy.
