 | William spent years at the Umbrella Training Facility with Albert Wesker, beginning in 1977, beginning his long work with Wesker. In 1981, William began his long rivalry with the young Alexia Ashford. The creator of the revolutionary successor to the T-Virus, Birkin is married to fellow scientist, Annette Birkin, and has one daughter with her, Sherry. Upon completing his G-Virus in 1998, he was ambushed by Umbrella soldiers, sent to retrieve the G-Virus sample. During the scuffle, the men fired on him, blowing holes throughout his body. His wife, Annette came to his side, and then rushed off to find some way to treat his immense wounds. Before her return, William injected himself with the virus, and mutated into the first G-Host. He slaughtered the Umbrella men who were trying to steal his virus, but in the conflict, rats become infected with the T and G-Viruses, and spread them throughout the city. While it's unknown how Annette escaped his grasp in the sewers, she did survive that onslaught. From the Umbrella team sent in, only HUNK survived. The mutated William, now completely void of his consciousness, stalked his daughter Sherry throughout Raccoon City during the outbreak, and impregnated her G-Embryos, as he needed someone with similair genetic codes to his, to create a successful offspring. During his empty rage, William killed his wife Annette. Sherry, was cured of the impregnation by Claire Redfield, by creating DEVIL, the only known cure to G-Virus infection.
