T-001

T-001

The goal of the Tyrant Program was to create a “super-soldier” that retained some semblance of intelligence. Only one in ten million people had the correct genetic code that would cause them to become Tyrants upon infection of the T-virus. The majority of research was carried out by Dr William Birkin, Dr James Marcus and Capt Albert Wesker over a period of ten years. The T-001 was the very first prototype. It features the trademark claw and enlarged heart, but unfortunately it still retained little of its intelligence and could not be controlled, making it an ineffective weapon. It escaped from the Raccoon City labs and was killed by a STARS member. Though difficult to kill it did not display the resistance to small arms fire shown by future Tyrants.
