Gaming
In the videos games, Wesker was a top official with the evil Umbrella Corporation, whom he later betrayed for other personnel he had connections with, along with his very own STARS unit from Raccoon City, which he served as the leader of.

He is seemingly slain by the Tyrant, a super creature, but narrowly escaped from the lab moments before it exploded, due to a virus he injected himself with. He later had to face one of his test subjects, Lisa Trevor, whom he then defeated.

He later confronts his rival Chris Redfield on both Rockfort Island and in Antartica while on a new mission, but their battle is cut short, as the facility begins to blow up. He manages to seize a sample of a virus from Steve Burnside's corpse. Wesker also goes to Russia in 2003 and helps Chris behind the scenes, to stop a man called Sergei.

Years later, Chris meets Wesker again in Africa, and Wesker was planning to unleash a deadly virus that would likely have wiped out anyone normal on Earth. Chris, with his new partner, Sheva, plus Jill Valentine and Josh Stone, were able to survive the ordeal. Wesker is killed by two propelled rockets, as he is last seen screaming in a lake of molten lava as they collided with his head.

Wesker has a surviving son, Jake, and a sister, Alex. Years later, Alex was included as the primary villain in Resident Evil: Revelations 2.
