Ozwell E. Spencer

Lord Ozwell E. Spencer was one of the three men who co-founded the Umbrella Corporation in 1968 alongside James Marcus and Edward Ashford. Of the three, he is the sole surviving member and is the unopposed ruler of the corporation. He, Ashford and Marcus discovered the the Progenitor Virus, which they used to create the T-Virus. They then founded Umbrella to act as a cover for their bioweapons research.

He also had the Spencer Mansion built in the Arklay Mountains shortly thereafter, outside of Raccoon City, and killed its architect George Trevor and his family in order to eliminate anyone who might had known about the mansion's secrets. After the death of Edward Ashford, Lord Spencer and James Marcus fought for total control of Umbrella. Spencer won out eventually, ordering Albert Wesker to assassinate Marcus.

Although the T-Virus outbreak in Raccoon City in 1998 brought Umbrella's illicit activities to the attention of the United States government and many high-ranking Umbrella executives were extradicted to the US for their crimes, Spencer's fate remains unknown.
