"Leon... Long time no see."
Ada Wong is the pseudonym of an enigmatic unnamed spy of Asian-American descent who has gained notoriety in the corporate world for being able to handle serious situations and handle the most difficult requests without guilt. She acted secretly in the background of many biohazard incidents and collected information which became useful to several organisations, while at the same time operating to undermine them. However, Ada follows only her own "true purpose" and has often betrayed the organisations and customers she is affiliated with to achieve it.
Early life/career
Ada's personal life is a complete mystery. Her ethnicity and nationality are left unconfirmed, and when and where she was born are also unknown. Even her birth name is not believed to be real. However, she is known to have a dark past. Ada also received special training as a spy for a Chinese criminal syndicate in the underworld involved in the black market arms trade.
As an independent contractor for the syndicate, Ada worked for many external clients and organisations but often betrayed them as a means to fulfill an unknown "true purpose." One of her known clients was Derek C. Simmons, a high-ranking U.S. government official and leader of the secret organisation The Family. Simmons appreciated her as an excellent spy and imposed many orders on her for his own ideals and ambitions. He harbored a distorted attachment and love for her and thought they were a perfect partnership due to the genius characteristics they both shared. This would, however, prove to be his eventual undoing.
B.O.W. Underworld Infiltration (1990s)
In the 1990s, Wong's syndicate ordered her to infiltrate the rising Bio Organic Weapon underworld to carry out industrial espionage centred on gathering information on this new type of weapon. By 1998, Wong became involved with a bioweapons developer competing with the Umbrella Corporation. This group, otherwise known as "the organization", frequently questioned her loyalty due to her refusal to tell them her identity.
By 1998, Wong had successfully infiltrated Umbrella USA on the organisation's behalf. Possibly assigned to Chicago, she became close with Dr. John Clemens, chief researcher at the Arklay Laboratory. Due to this connection, Wong was able to gain information on the Umbrella's research, and it is possible though not definite that she visited the laboratory at one point. Clemens himself was unaware of this security breach and was fully committed to their relationship, going as far as recording his username and password at the lab as "John" and "Ada".
Clemens himself would die following an outbreak of the Epsilon strain t-Virus, which ended with the facility being destroyed.
Raccoon City Destruction Incident (1998)
In the late Summer, the organization began a new operation to steal a sample of Golgotha Virus. Wong and another agent were sent into the city to recover this virus, with the mission coordinated by Dr. Albert Wesker, a former Umbrella researcher. Another man, a journalist named Ben Bertolucci, was flagged as having potential information on the virus and the NEST laboratory engineering it. His investigation of the city had drawn the ire of both Dr. Annette Birkin and Police Chief Brian Irons, and he was soon arrested and detained in the Raccoon Police Station amid an outbreak of a modified t-Virus strain that destroyed the city's infrastructure at the end of September.
On Tuesday 29 September, Wong made her way into the police station in search of Bertolucci, finding the building to have fallen to the Zombies, with rookie police officer Leon S. Kennedy being the only uninfected survivor left. To protect her mission, Wong used a cover for her mission. In one account, Wong claimed to be merely looking for Clemens, while in another account she claimed to be an FBI agent looking for proof of Umbrella USA's illegal bioweapons project. Whichever the reason, the information she got from Bertolucci was not enough, and he was soon killed by a mutant. Wong chose to continue her search for NEST, working alongside Kennedy, who was looking for a way out of the city.
By the early hours of Wednesday 30 September, Wong had successfully reached NEST via underground transport into the Arklay Mountains. Though it is uncertain what precisely happened at the laboratory, it is known that Wong was injured and mistaken for dead. In one account, she was shot by Dr. Birkin while trying to steal a Golgotha sample recovered by Kennedy and fell down a shaft. In another, she was thrown into a console by T-00, a T-103 Tyrant also sent to recover the virus. Whichever the case, the facility soon began tearing itself apart with the activation of a self-destruct device, and Wong was forced to escape. On her way, she saved Kennedy from T-00 by throwing an anti-tank launcher. How exactly she escaped from the laboratory is also uncertain, but it would appear she made her way back into the city through the sewers.Though she had no time to find another Golgotha sample, she was successful in escaping with a tissue fragment shed from the virus' engineer, Dr. William Birkin.
By the early hours of Thursday 1 October, the injured Wong had finally made it into the middle of Raccoon City. Per her original orders, Wong made her way to the Apple Inn to rendezvous with her liaison. When she got to the room, however, she found that the man had already committed suicide out of despair over the situation. Watching from a webcam, Dr. Wesker expressed disappointment about her failure on the mission, likely having access to the NEST feed as he knew of Kennedy, and was prepared to let her perish. Ultimately, however, her possession of the tissue fragment saved her, and he warned her that the city was soon to be destroyed in a missile attack, and her only escape were to use a hookshot on an Umbrella helicopter. While suspicious of Wesker's motives for saving her, she followed his instructions.Wong fought her way to the highway overpass, but was slowed down by Tyrant R. When the Tyrant was killed, Wong succeeded in making her escape, with the city being destroyed moments later.
After returning from Raccoon City, the mission in the city became a constant assessment for her, making her name a legend among those involved in espionage.Personally, however, the experiences took a far greater toll than she would show. As she recovered from her injuries sustained during her time in the city, she did her best to move on, and tried seeing her new feelings for Kennedy as being part of her Wong "character" than herself.Also finding out that Simmons was responsible for the planning and preparation of the "Sterilization Operation" - the bombing - she realised he was simply too dangerous a man to associate herself with, and she wisely severed all connections from him.
Sacred Snakes (2002)
While both were employed by the Organization, Wong and Wesker would operate separately for some years, with their paths crossing on numerous occasions as both ally and enemy. Among the places their rivalry would take effect was the Amazon Rainforest, where the Organization was attempting to make a presence.The Sacred Snakes, a crime syndicate led by drug lord Javier Hidalgo, had been purchasing B.O.W.s from Col. Sergei Vladimir, but were met by increasing costs owing to Umbrella's desperation to make profit in its dying days.Approaching them as a liaison for an unspecified bio-weapons developer, they kept in touch though they preferred to buy through Wesker.
In August, Hidalgo's aide Sergio confronted Wong, and she gave them information proving Umbrella was engaging in creative accounting before insisting they give her information in exchange.Reporting this meeting to Wesker, Hidalgo was warned she was an Umbrella spy trying to sell him the same products.The Sacred Snakes went out in search of her, but she disappeared before they could do so.The operation was nonetheless a success for the Organization, and they became Hidalgo's primary supplier.
The Illuminati (2004)
In 2004, Wong's loyalty to the Organization was once more put into question.Having obtained evidence Wesker was engaging in dealings with TRICELL Africa since Umbrella's final collapse in 2003, his senior role posed a threat.With thanks to Wong, the Organization became aware of a bioweapons R&D project in Spain by Los Iluminados due to a leak by one of its senior researchers, Dr. Luis Sera. The project utilised a parasitic organism to turn human beings into useful puppets. Wesker would instead assign one of his own disciples, Jack Krauser, to the mission to obtain a "Dominant species Plaga" - a parasite that would give orders to the others without taking over the host's mind. When Krauser failed to return in time with a sample of the parasite, the Organization used this opportunity to their advantage, and pushed Wesker to assign Wong to the mission as well.
Arriving at a village who's populous were taken over by the parasite, Wong's objective was to obtain as much information as possible on the Plagas from the ground.This link-up was delayed when she discovered Kennedy was in the area. Having been recruited by the US government as a spy, he was searching the area for Ashley Graham, daughter of President Graham, who had been abducted by Krauser on behalf of Osmund Saddler, the man in charge of the bio-weapons project. Wong rang the bell to the nearby church, which got the attention of the villagers and directed them away from him.
Not long after her arrival, Wong was contacted by Wesker, who had information Sera had been captured while heading out to meet her with the Dominant species sample, and was being hidden in a house nearby.Now knowing where to find him, Wong made her way to a derelict part of the village, where she found both Sera and Kennedy being carried out by a group of villagers led by the local Priest, Fr. Bitores Mendez.Following the group, she reached Mendez's house in time to save Kennedy from being killed, but was captured by the villagers in the process and knocked out by a tranquilliser dart.Waking up in the night, Wong found herself laid out on a stone slab, ready to be killed as a ritualistic sacrifice. Able to shake her keepers, Wong made her way back towards the village, where she finally found Sera. He had, however, not had the sample with him when he was captured, and left her empty handed while he retrieved it from its hiding place.
Heading into a nearby castle owned by the Salazar family in pursuit of Sera, Wong ran into Kennedy once more. Finally revealing herself to him, she was met with hostile questions over her ties to Wesker, which she could not answer. Leaving him behind to continue her search, Wong was shocked to receive orders to execute him, Wesker having deemed him a distraction to her and a possible threat.By carefully avoiding being seen by Kennedy, Wong was able to excuse herself for not killing him, and continued her search for Sera. Ultimately, however, she was too late, and Sera was killed by Saddler as he returned with the sample.
Doubting Wong's sincerity at not having the opportunity to assassinate Kennedy, the orders were temporarily rescinded to allow him to cause more trouble for Los Iluminados and serve as a useful idiot. Meeting Kennedy at a port in a speedboat, Wong drove him out across a lake to an island Saddler's bioweapons research was conducted on and where he had taken the sample to. Negotiations were made with the Organization as to how she would be picked up, and a team began planting explosives around the island to destroy Los Iluminados' research upon the sample's recovery. On her instance, a jetski was also sent down an underwater outflow as an alternative escape route. Soon, Wong rendezvoused with Krauser at a radio communications tower, where they awaited new orders. Deciding to depart, Wong was alone when she was informed by Wesker that Krauser was to kill Kennedy.Moving through the island's industrial district, Wong destroyed a small warship being prepared by Los Iluminados as part of their military before reaching a large empty warehouse where Krauser and Kennedy were enraging in a knife fight.Shot at by Wong, Krauser gave up the fight and left to fight him elsewhere, at the ruins of a fortress used by the Salazar family long ago. Krauser would lose this second fight in spite of having secretly implanted the Dominant species sample he was to recover into his own body. Wong witnessed the fight from a distance, and reported his death in to Wesker. Once more, Wesker gave her an order to kill Kennedy, but allowed her the freedom to do so after retrieving the sample.
While exploring the ruined Salazar fortress for herself, Wong ran in to Kennedy once more. Having been implanted with a Recessive species Plaga when he was captured at the village, he was provided medication by Sera to slow down the parasite's growth, but only thought to take when when he found himself trying to choke Wong to death. While Wong insisted they get the parasite out of him, he refused until Graham was rescued.Leaving him behind, Wong ran into Krauser who, alive but wounded, wanted revenge for her shooting at him.The two fought on the modern fortress built by Los Iluminados, where Krauser was finally killed.Continuing in her search for the Dominant species Plaga sample Saddler took from Sera, Wong reached a laboratory where Graham was being kept in isolation until her own Plaga could take over her body. Distracting Saddler, Wong was able to give Kennedy a chance to escape the lab with Graham. Her fight with Saddler put her at a disadvantage, however, due to his mutant body's ability to simply absorb bullets.Soon, she was defeated and knocked unconscious.Tied up, she was taken to a tower under construction and hung from a rope around her waist as bait. When she was rescued by Kennedy, Saddler's parasite grew to massive proportions and began fighting him.Fighting Saddler's militia on the tower, Wong found a rocket launcher and threw it to Kennedy, which succeeded in killing Saddler once and for all.
With the sample now in Kennedy's possession, Wong made her move and put a gun to his head, forcing him to hand it over. With the sample secured, Wong jumped off a nearby cliff and into a helicopter waiting to pick her up. To give him a chance to survive, she threw him the keys to her jetski as a timer for the explosives was set. On the voyage back, Wong kept the Dominant species sample carefully in her possession, and instead planted a newly recovered sample of a Recessive species Plaga in a case to be given to Wesker.While this rouse worked for a time to deny Wesker important bioweapons research he would have given to Tricell, Wesker would later return to the island and clone another from the one found in what remained of Krauser's corpse. In the following four years, Wesker built up a criminal empire for himself with Tricell's resources, leading to massive fragmentation upon his death at the hands of the BSAA in 2009, leaving for a time only Simmons and The Family as threats to Wong's true employer.
