      It really fits well with his narrative in RE5 too. He was so calm and collected in the previous games, but here you can really see his sanity start to slip as he furthers his goals and it lead to his ultimate downfall and (probably) demise.

He kinda resembles a black snake with his long tailed snake skin trench coat and red slit eyes. Some people may say it’s a matrix knock off look. But he always resembled a snake to me. I guess the sunglasses lead people to think that but he only wears them because his eyesight is all messed up.

      The Uroboros is supposed to symbolize infinity. The constant cycle of life, death and rebirth, which is what his ultimate goal was for the world. He felt the world could only be saved by allowing it to die and then be resurrected into a perfect form. Thence, he named the tool he would use to make it happen Uroboros.

    I think the its worth mentioning that as Wesker progresses onward he's given quite a bit of encouragement from the circumstances around him. His body responds to the viruses by turning him into a supervillain whereas nearly all others are simply turned into monsters. This leads Wesker to believe that he's destined to control the world, and it makes his defeat at Chris' hands all the more humiliating. Chris and Jill were supposed to be STARS leftovers. Wesker took out one STARS team easily and it seemd he could do the same to Chris and Jill rather easily, which is why he treated them more as playthings than serious threats. By the time Resident Evil 5 rolls around, Wesker and can barely believe Chris is still alive, much less beating him. Then Chris punches a boulder...yeah I got nothing from that point on.

    I'm glad you realized that even if Wesker himself decided to do evil, he became what Spencer and Umbrella made of him. You can't treat people like sh*t and then expect them to be moral and normal people, the world creates its own demons, society creates its own demons, and then cries about it.

      Right. So many people are quick to say "well he had a choice" but as the video summarizes succinctly: "When pure evil is where your foundations lie, its no surprise when you come out reflecting exactly what they wanted you to be." We've seen many times before that it's extremely difficult to unlearn what you've been taught since your first breath. How many things do we do or believe just because our parents had taught us so? Props to OP for pointing out that Wesker's character is one steeped in tragedy.

It's meant to hide a person's inner thoughts, because over 50 percent of emotions are read through a person's eyes, so when someone wears sunglasses it gives them a psychological advantage over others, which makes sense because Wesker has always had a mysterious and treacherous nature.

He at least has some redeeming qualities, such as his unwavering loyalty to his friends, professionalism on "jobs", and his brutal honesty.

    I always thought Wesker in 5 went off the deep end because he found out the truth from Spencer. Realizing he's a manufactured experiment instead of the perfect person he's been told he is since childhood made him snap and he acted out of impulse from then on. He impulsively gutted Spencer immediately after hearing the revelation, conducted experiments out in the open, threw away careful planning for straight up world domination, and for once got personally involved in Chris' affairs. Really makes me appreciate 5's Wesker more. The guy finding out his entire life was a lie made him lash out and say "screw it"

      Hey, I know this is already 5 days old but I'm also a fan of Wesker and well you're voice is just amazing. I've just now looked into your videos and you're truly good at copying Douglas's voice while giving it your own touch. Also their's a bit of Richard Waugh who I always liked a bit more. Given that Douglas turned out to be quite the scumbag and the new Resi 4 Remake voice just frankly lacks the touch in my opinion , I really wish you that you will be Wesker's voice actor once. You deserve it since your just such a great fan. I just discovered you but you have my sub. Stay how you are with that amazing content. We will make it one time. We will completly and globally saturate Capcom with your work, until they just have to hire you 😅.

      Lol well I think Albert Wesker himself would challenge you on what success actually meant to him. If you mean he would have been fine working as a CEO having weekend BBQ's, I think he would see a problem with this. Albert Wesker WANTED IT ALL!! This man didn't want to just be a part of the world, this man wanted WORLD DOMINATION!! And he was damn close to getting it with a number of successful accomplishments and wins over the franchise. I'd say his personality and traits suited him fine. And had he not had the final encounter with Spencer that pushed him over the edge mentally, he probably would have found another way to get what he wanted and succeeded. It was too much for his ego to handle that he had been manipulated his whole life. That's what really did him in. @@iBloodxHunter
