Zeno

Zeno is a high-ranking member of the international crime syndicate known as The Connections. Bearing a striking resemblance to Albert Wesker, Zeno appears to be a Wesker clone or biological imitation. He is primarily known for spearheading the search for "Elpis," an experimental virus originally conceived by Oswell E. Spencer. Zeno possesses many of the same superhuman abilities as Albert Wesker, including enhanced strength, speed, reflexes, and regeneration. However, lore suggests that these powers are somewhat weaker, as Leon S. Kennedy was able to sever Zeno's hand with a hatchet. Zeno's pursuit of Elpis ultimately brings him to the Ark Facility alongside Grace Ashcroft. His obsession with the project and refusal to accept Victor Gideon's interpretation of Spencer's true intentions for Elpis lead to intense conflict. Aside from sharing Wesker's face, voice, and abilities, Zeno differs in several notable ways. He has pale skin, bears dark scars across his face as a symptom of Raccoon City Syndrome, and is a habitual cigarette smoker. Zeno's specific creation process remains a mystery, though former Umbrella researcher Dr. Victor Gideon bluntly refers to him as a mere "imitation." Zeno's primary objective is to find and utilize Elpis, a virus intended to control human consciousness. He believes it to be the ultimate bioweapon, surpassing even the Megamycete.
