Ewan

[Jericho]

I have no idea why Capcom have given this Tyrant (we assume) a specific name. Anyone who's obtained the images directly from any of the Capcom sites would have seen the image titled Ewan.

So who or what is he? resembles a T-103 (Mr. X), has a blue aura, red eye-patches and a white Trenchcoat; All I know is that I can't wait to play RE: UC. I know this isn't news, that doesn't excuse the fact that this is interesting.

Who or what he is, i do not know, but he just looks really weird, like the eyes? what is with the red... almost like glasses o_o

[rewak]

He's like a Dr.Who reject

To me, Umbrella has always tried to make the "perfect being/war machine" (AKA Tyrant), but always came up short.

Proto-Tyrant (Bio0) - Apparently a failure, it's flesh was decaying from it's bones before it even grew to full potential. "It did not develop enough intelligence to follow commands, and it's skin became severely decayed." - BioHazard Archives, Source

Tyrant (T-002 (Bio)) - One of Umbrella's first success' with the "T-___" series, considered to be the the perfect B.O.W. "[Tyrant is] code number T-002, the original model on which all subsequent Tyrants are based." - BioHazard Archives, Source

Tyrant (T-003 (Mr. X)) - Obviously more intellgent and not completely enraged, it seemed Umbrella's T-___ Program was exceeding rapidly. "It has a much higher capacity to follow orders, and was ordered in pursuit of the G-Virus within Raccoon City." - BioHazard Archives, Source

Tyrant (BioCV) - A T-003 model variant, this bastard proved his worth. "The mass-produced T-003 type deployed to Rockfort Island." - BioHazard Archives, Source

Bandersnatch (BioCV) - Fail. "Designed to be a Tyrant ... Due to it's imperfect prototype status, it's lower body has devolved and it's ability to walk is heavily impaired." - BioHazard Archives, Source

Ewan (UC) - Perhaps Umbrella's first Tyrant with more natural human-like ability/comprehension? It might explain why CAPCOM decided to give this "new" Tyrant a real name.

what about dead aim's Tyrant and what about Nemesis ;)

[BLSR1]

what about dead aim's Tyrant and what about Nemesis ;)

Nemesis isn't a tyrant. (technically)
hes wasn't in the tyrant program he was in the nemesis program (hence the name Nemesis) Dead Aim isn't cannon

[GalacticAE]

Nemesis isn't a tyrant. (technically)
hes wasn't in the tyrant program he was in the nemesis program (hence the name Nemesis) Dead Aim isn't cannon

I think Dead Aim is canon to a certain extent. We'll find out in Umbrella chronicles if Morpheus is mentioned in the Spencer Mansion section.

[Stars_g36]

yea I was gonna say morpheus and the tyrant there is very legit.

[Jericho]

Nemesis is in a way a Tyrant, it's a T-103 base with an NE-a parasite, it was run by the European Division I believe. This Tyrant (again we assume) is not malformed like the Nemesis, hopefully it will be something completely new, which means a new and interesting description should follow.

[BLSR1]

Dead Aim is not cannon until it is mentioned in one of the main games or officially announced by capcom.
Survivor is cannon because of Resident Evil 0
Gaiden is not.

Is DA in RE archives? because if it is then I might consider it canon to an extent.

[GalacticAE]

Dead Aim isn't mentioned in the book from what I can remember but neither is Survivor. We can pretty much only assume it's canon until a new story element contradicts it. We'll probably find out in Umbrella Chronicles.

How was Survivor mentioned in RE0? I believe you but I must've forgotten since it's been a while since I played RE0.

[Stars_g36]

Ark knows Leon, so it makes it Cannon???

[Skunky]

Survivor has 3 Tyrants. The rather stupid looking 'Hypnos-T Prototype', the regular Mr.X and also IMO the coolest looking Tyrant (see attachment).
In the Survivor guide it says:
Based on this Tyrant design, the more ferocious "Enhanced Tyrant" or "Nemesis" is even more aggressive and intelligent. This bio-weapon was created at Umbrella's European branch and is featured in Resident Evil 3.
Don't know if this is contradicted elsewhere, but that's what it says anyway.

[BLSR1]

In the Beginning of Resident Evil 0. A voice talks about various outbreaks of the T virus. Sheena Island, Rock fort Island and Raccoon City are mentioned. Thus Survivor is Cannon. Before that: it wasn't. UC might prove the Worth of Dead Aim.

[nemesis_lover]

changing the subject a bit here, but if you could be a tyrant, what one would you be?
i'd be the ending tyrant from r.e survivor.

[BLSR1]

I'd be Mr.X because then I'd look enough like a human

[Darkmoon]

Uhhh...perhaps if you wanna change the topic you should, instead, start a new one?

Looking at the guy in the image, and guessing his aura is just the graphics deparment having fun (I can't think of any enemies in RE that glow DBZ style like that) I'd guess the thing is simply an Arctic Mr X. Each variation of the Tyrants is usually somewhat different to the previous one, but bar his clothing and the glasses this guy looks almost identical. Both would make sense in the snow, however, since he would be more difficult to spot and the glasses would prevent snow blindness (assuming something like that can be blinded. Assuming the damned thing uses its eyes.)

Since there was more than one Mr X it seems most likely, to me at least, that this guy is another one guarding that snow covered base. I have no idea why he'd be called Ewan though. Maybe he was an infected researcher and they kept his name. Is there a link to the image on Capcoms' website?

[Skunky]

Yep, he was 'Mr.X the Grey' now he is 'Mr.X the White' :lol:
(like Gandalf from Lord of the Rings)
Damn, I'm so funny!

[Jericho]

Darkmoon the artwork should be available to Gamespress users on the US. Press Site, obviously Gamespress itself and to people who have passes to the EU Press site. I'd link but it'd be useless, you need an account and your application will be looked over (need to be associated with some form of Capcom related media; Websites / Magazines etc.). Of course you could try any other public games sites. Either way, you won't find all of the Artwork on the Press sites, which drives me up the wall, Japanese sites always seem to have great material.

[nemesis_lover]

Yep, he was 'Mr.X the Grey' now he is 'Mr.X the White' :lol:

that could mean one thing....
that he's more wiser, stronger and after this tyrant has done
his mission, he would go on a boat and sail the artic. ^_^

[Dot50Cal]

The name Ewan is most likely a placeholder or a Japanese word abbreviated in Romanji. A similar thing happened when the "Young Man"'s picture was released with the filename "Sinen". We mistakenly took that to be his name but were corrected by Rombie, when he explained that it means "Young Man" in Japanese.

[nemesis_lover]

i shall call my son Ewan :D

[James]

It's Ivan. =)

[nemesis_lover]

Ivan, that sounds like some sort of name from rocky hmmmm
well just call him Mr white i say, it'll work.
