Nosferatu

The creature known as Nosferatu was the result of Alexander Ashford’s deliberate infection with the t-Veronica virus in 1983. The virus caused complete destruction of his brain cells and body flesh, leaving him withered and frail. His body also began to produce a special type of poison that turned into a deadly fog upon contact with oxygen. Alexander was placed in a straight jacket and confined in a hidden room within the labyrinthine depths of the South Pole facility for over 15 years. During that time, his muscular structure increased and he gained herculean strength. His heart was also gradually pushed out of his chest via his exposed rib cage.

But his most interesting mutation was sprouting three tentacle-like appendages from his back. It is believed these compensated for his restricted movement thanks to his hands being bound behind his back via the straight jacket. Nosferatu used these appendages to move around. The two smaller ones were roughly the size of a human arm and the larger one was used to attack its targets. This sickle-like attachment was reminiscent of an ant’s pincers and it is interesting to note that of the two failed t-Veronica human experiments, Alexander bore more ant-like traits whereas Steve Burnside developed a large plant-like mutation.

Despite his intelligence being severely degenerated, the virus also had a positive effect. His body was stronger and he needed no food or water. His cells now had high telomerase activity with infinite replication, essentially making him immortal. There was also evidence to suggest Alexander remained in control of some of his former memories.

In 1998 he used his strength to escape from confinement when he heard Alfred’s screams as he fell down a chasm. It is believed he chased Claire Redfield and Steve Burnside onto the exterior helipad in retaliation. His name Nosferatu came from the Lithuanian word for immortal,and was given to him by the workers at the Antarctic base who heard his bone-chilling cries in the night. He was eventually killed by Claire Redfield on the exterior heliport after she targeted his exposed heart.
