Albert Wesker’s first name in the Resident Evil series is Albert.
Albert Wesker is one of the franchise’s recurring antagonists and was originally introduced as the captain of the S.T.A.R.S. Alpha Team. In the first Resident Evil, he appears to lead the team during the investigation of the mansion, but the story later reveals his connection to Umbrella and his hidden agenda.
Wesker’s role expands substantially in later games. He becomes involved in espionage, viral research, and plans to reshape humanity. His appearances connect multiple storylines, including Resident Evil 5, where his rivalry with Chris Redfield becomes central to the plot.
He is sometimes confused with Alex Wesker, another character who shares the Wesker surname. Alex is a separate researcher and antagonist introduced in the broader series, so the first name Albert identifies the original recurring character.
