In the fall of 1998, Dr. William Birkin attempted to steal a deadly virus from his employer, Umbrella. Birkin and his college, Albert Wesker, had worked together in the past to undermine the company's research trajectory to favor Birkin's G-Virus. Wesker, knowing of Birkin's plan to betray Umbrella, snitched on his former ally. Umbrella sent in a small dispatch of their Biohazard Countermeasure Service, a PMC under their control. The UBCS team infiltrated Birkin's private lab under the outskirts of Raccoon City, intending to apprehend him before he could leave with a cache of G and T-Virus samples. Characteristically boneheaded, both parties literally jumped the gun during the standoff. Birkin was fatally wounded, but before he died, he injected himself with the G-Virus, turning him into the horrific G-Birkin creature. During the fight between the UBCS and G-Birkin, the virus samples smashed, creating a biohazard. Rats in the sewers consumed both raw virus material as well as infected tissue, contaminating their bodies. These rats, as well as G-Birkin and the infected corpses of the UBCS squad, acted as the initial vector through which the two viruses began to spread. The possibility existed to contain the infection while it was still localized to the sewers, though the window to do this was astonishingly small. Once the viral agents (rat droppings, traces of blood, and discharge from G-Birkin's body) made their way into Raccoon's municipal water supply system, it was already over. The town, and the surrounded area, were infected. In a manner of days, secondary and tertiary vectors including birds, dogs, and people were spreading the viruses like wildfire, contaminating the city they once called home. It was the worst biohazard outbreak in human history.

For now.
