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

[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.
