It Was The Year When Those Grisly murders occured in the Arklay Mountains.
Soon after, the news was out to the whole world revealing that it was the fault of a secret viral experiment conducted by the International Pharmaceutical Enterprise Umbrella.
The virus broke out in a near by mountain community, Racoon City.
And hit the peaceful little town with a devastating blow crippling its very foundation.
Not taking any chances the president of the United States ordered a contingency plan - to sterilize Racoon City.
With the whole afair gone public, the United States goverment issued an indefinite suspension of buissnseseds decrese to Umbrella.
Soon its stock prices crashed and for all intents purposed Umbrella was finished.
