B.O.W.

BOWs are weapons that feature in Resident Evil.

History

BOW (Bio-Organic Weapon) is the term used by Umbrella to refer to their genetically engineered creations.

During this time, the creatures that ran amok following the leak of the T-Virus were typical examples of B.O.W.s.

Following the collapse of Umbrella, the research data and viral samples of the company were sold onto the black market with numerous global corporations looking to acquire these lost secrets to increase the range of their B.O.W. merchandise. Among the corporations that looked to replace Umbrella included; Medvedev, Tenenti Inc., Suntech Ninja Co., Suntech Samurai Co., Saurian Corporation, Aeolus Edge West, Aeolus Edge East, Akembe Chemical, Rashid Sahir Industries, Shéng-Yā Pharmaceutical. To accomplish this, these companies hired mercenaries to search sites for the data and information in order to either gain sole rights to vaccines or help in establish underground bio-terror networks.
