Sweet, looks like we are going to go deep into the mythology again.

Where did this whole 3rd Organization thing come from, I have never heard the name in any game. Didn't Wesker clearly work for a company called HCF in CV, there is full logo of it.

A bit of new info from Nintendo Power magazine:

- Parker and Jessica were previously partners.
- Chris and Jessica were lured to the ship to search for Jill and Parker, who also were "missing".
- Chris has encountered Veltro before. Apparently the organization has been revived after a period of inactivity.

Here is the direct feed version of the article, click on the thumbnails to view a larger version:

Well, that certainly makes things more interesting and would definately explain why you switch back and forth between Jill & Chris and how they can be happening at the same time.

The 3rd Organization is a reference to Umbrella's rival company and the term comes from Bitorez Mendez' notes of a 'third party' during the events of RE4. As far as we can tell, HCF seems to be a special forces unit of that organization.

Wesker joined them immediately after the mansion incident. He worked with Ada to steal the G-Virus from Raccoon City. Later, Leon read government files and discovered Ada was still alive and was working at the 3rd Organization with Wesker.
At a undisclosed date and for unspecific reasons, Ada leaves the 3rd Organization and goes to work for another group simply known as 'The Organization' - the group she refers to in Ada's report. Its important to understand that these two groups are not one and the same.
In 2002 Jack Krauser joins the 3rd Organization after the events of Op Javier and by 2004 Wesker has risen almost to the top of the 3rd Org in terms of influence and power. Some of his colleagues refer to him as an 'uncontrollable spark' and seemingly want rid of him which may explain why he was trying to secretly align himself with Tricell at this point.

In 2004 Wesker approached Ada about returning to the 3rd Organization. Ada informed her employers and they encouraged her to do so to spy on him and given her past relationship with Wesker, to prove her loyalty to them over him. She agrees to Wesker's request. Thus the events of RE4 play out and she ultimately betrays Wesker by sending the 3rd Organization a regular subbordinate Plaga sample and the control plaga sample to her own organization who she was secretly working for all along.

So there are two seperate groups. The 3rd Organization and The Organization.

We believe there is a chance Revelations may feature the 3rd Organization with Raymond Vester being a member. They would have the resources to create the t-Abyss and sell it on to a group like El Veltro. But this is speculation at this point.

The main sources for this are translations I have done from Biohazard Archives 2 and the Biohazard 4 Kaitai Shinso.

RE Revelations official website was updated again.

Thanks Batman. Capcom needs better names for these companies.
