On September 19, 1977 after conducting countless experiments within the laboratory adjacent to the <a class="freelinking" href="http://projectumbrella.net/freelinking/Umbrella%2520Research%2520Center">Umbrella Research Center</a> in the <a class="freelinking" href="http://projectumbrella.net/freelinking/Arklay%2520Mountains">Arklay Mountains</a>,
 Marcus had discovered a method of creating a new, more powerful virus 
using the Progenitor virus as the base element and mixing it with leech 
DNA. After the virus was administered to a leech, it underwent 
transformations and became violent and aggressive. Upon examining the 
blood of the leech, the basis for the t-virus was discovered. Marcus 
continued development and the virus was completed on January 13, 1978. 
Shortly after, Marcus conducted experiments on several animal species 
including monkeys, insects and frogs (eventually leading to the 
development of the <a class="freelinking" href="http://projectumbrella.net/freelinking/Eliminator">Eliminator</a>, <a class="freelinking" href="http://projectumbrella.net/freelinking/Lurker">Lurker</a> and <a class="freelinking" href="http://projectumbrella.net/freelinking/Plague%2520Crawler">Plague Crawler</a>)
 mimicking experiments previously carried out using the Progenitor 
virus. While definite results were observed, Marcus ended the 
experiments furiously after not getting the results he desired, ending 
with the belief that humans were the only viable test subjects. <br>
Soon after the creation of the t-virus, one of the executive candidates who he had fiercely trusted known as <a class="freelinking" href="http://projectumbrella.net/freelinking/Albert%2520Wesker">Albert Wesker</a> revealed information to <a class="freelinking" href="http://projectumbrella.net/freelinking/Ozwell%2520E.%2520Spencer">Ozwell E. Spencer</a>,
 another founder of Umbrella who Marcus had recently come into bitter 
terms with, about Marcus' research. Spencer ordered several Umbrella 
employees to retrieve a sample of the virus from Marcus. However, they 
were unsuccessful, instead becoming specimens for Marcus' research. In 
the time that followed, many unwilling human test subjects were victims 
of Marcus' experiments - including several junior executive candidates 
at the Research Center, with the total victim count being around 20. The
 t-virus was later stolen from Marcus by Wesker and <a class="freelinking" href="http://projectumbrella.net/freelinking/William%2520Birkin">William Birkin</a>,
 another student at the Research Center who Marcus trusted. Afterwards, 
Spencer closed the Research Center and moved all t-virus research to the
 nearby Arklay Laboratory. Here, the t-Virus Project began in earnest.<br>
