James Marcus

Dr. James Marcus was a virologist who led viral weapons research in the 20th century, serving as one of the co-founders of Umbrella Pharmaceuticals and holding the Director position at the company's executive training school. He played a significant role in the development of the t-Virus; however, his obsession with his research led him to neglect his other responsibilities, including engaging in illegal experimentation on children. Consequently, he was relieved of all his duties within the company and viewed as a threat, ultimately resulting in his murder in 1988. Marcus and his test subjects were subsequently disposed of in an underground river channel
