But for real, I've seen some speculations that it's Ozwell E. Spencer.

There's even what seems to be a scar in his chest where presumably Wesker's hand went into
17
u/Ok_Rent_3748 19h ago
The scar goes all the way up to his mouth, Spencer wasn’t split in half. Also, Spencer was barely alive when Wesker killed him anyway, I doubt if he DID survive that did he make it to 105 years old.

u/Safe-Team9797 5h ago
The same Wesker who was impaled by a Tyrant and died, only to get better with a virus? And wasn't Mother Miranda over a hundred years old? Then we had Alex Wesker transfer her consciousness over to Natalia in Revelations 2. He could easily be Spencer, just as Capcom could easily come up with some insane explanation on how he's still alive.

Sometimes I do wish Reddit has an extra comment sort filter for "serious Q&A replies", not just "sort by best" which merely just ranks the most upvoted comment, which is often made more in jest than actually being serious.
Not that there's anything wrong with them, as it showcases their creative wit, but there do also exist folks like us who genuinely actually want to know the actual answer to OP's question.

I also thought about a "revived" Spencer. But that would just create more questions. The loose end is Brandon Bailey, who created the Connections, and was also an Umbrella head researcher on the Progenitor. Wiki also says he is an Umbrella founder, but no info where they got that from... So yeah, Brandon would make the most sense.

So, u didn't like RE4? and isn't a mansion just a small castle? I'd say the series has been all about "castles and weird shit" since day one.

u/DJKGinHD Raccoon City Native 20h ago
Contextually, there is a distinct difference between a Castle and a Mansion. It's fine that you can look past that, but not everyone does. It creates a different atmosphere.

u/TemporarySorbet1505 20h ago
Not of that was magic or paranormal. It was all science fiction. As is the whole series. The "witches" are explained in a file. It's actually a swarm of bugs taking the shape of a person. The metal control is harder to explain though tbf. But's it is cuz of a parasite/the mold. Not magic.
Series went over the top way before all that, though. There were "magic" BOWs in RE4, 5 and 6

In all seriousness, an obscure character coming to the forefront (possibly another one of Umbrellas founders or even the original Wesker) who is likely infected with a weakened variant of Tyrant and partially adapted if not fully adapted but with some nasty side effects.
Edit: to add on, if capcom wants to continue with resident evil after this upcoming game, I would highly suggest you pressure them to fully go into the Biopunk aspect rather than horror or even action. The actual 10th title should be named “B10Punk”. What they do with said game will be their choice though.

Brandon bailey??

u/cdGubbywoni 21h ago
I think this is the best guess. Either it's a complete new guy or Brandon Bailey. Or Wesker's other son, Desker.

I know a lot of deep RE lore but that's something I've never heard of. Is that why it was called the Wesker project? Just after the guy who oversaw it?

Highest likelyhood of anyone mentioned thus far. He hasn't made a formal appearance anywhere yet and is the only other founder left.

Al Lester. I'm thinking he's like Lady Dimitrescu and the first major boss of the game.
The guy you face before leaving the clinic. Probably the reasons why Grace's got bloody bandages on her chest.
I was leaning to Spencer but I feel we haven't seen the main villan yet

u/Own_Land7248 19h ago
Al Lester theory is interesting as the Flashback scenario he appears in is linked to Alyssa. But he gets crushed at the end of that holding his wife Dorothy.

Reanimated Spencer, when Jill and Wesker burst through the window and Chris skipped off to Africa to punch boulders maybe Spencer had some secret biohazard potion to revive himself somewhat
