His Evil Ranking[]
What Makes Him Close to Being Pure Evil?[]
- Gave Albert Wesker, Oswell Spencer’s location which lead to Spencer getting killed
- Sold B.O.W’s on the Black Market to terrorists around the world so he can fund Tricell & Wesker & Excella’s Uroboros research for years which he knows that they will spread around the world and helps them do it
- Used the Las plagas parasites and infected hundreds of people in the Kijuju region as a testing ground for Tricell turning them into mindless monsters known as the Majini
- One instance of this is when he warned the Ndipaya village tribe about an incoming disease in the area that they need to be inoculated by, but the inoculation was the disease itself, which was the type-3 plaga eggs which he infected the people with and it slowly turned the men into Majini who then proceeded to kill all the women and children in the village
- Sold las plagas to Kijujuan nationalists who wanted to resume the country’s civil war
- By the time Chris Redfield arrived in Kijuju to investigate and apprehend Irving he had another deal with an unknown associate
- When he found out that his deal location had been found out by the B.S.A.A in a warehouse he instead moved it to the mines
- When a B.S.A.A Special Operations unit arrived in the warehouse he set off the trap & unleashed an Uroboros monster on them which killed all of them but at least they got important information about the deals next location in the mines which was given to Chris & Sheva Alomar.
- Postpones the deal with the unknown buyer but went to the mines anyway to eradicate anything and collect documents that would implicate him in his black market dealings
- When caught by Chris and Sheva in his office by the mines before he can collect everything, they have a slow standoff until Brainwashed Jill shows up to rescue Ricardo, and the two escape from Chris and Sheva, but leaves documents implying where he would be next, the oil fields
- Sent a Majini drive a truck to the mines carrying the Popokarimu BOW to kill Chris and Sheva but they killed the monster, it’s also said that this was the bioweapon he was planning to sell the unknown buyer
- When hearing the B.S.A.A sent in the delta team he had the Ndesu BOW kill them all which it did except for Chris and Sheva who killed the creature
- Planned to escape with his wealth but Jill forced him to comply to make him kill Chris & Sheva before he can do so and gives him a dominant species plaga to infect himself with.
- Unwanting to use the plaga he blows up his oilfields to erase the evidence of his dealings and kills off Chris and Sheva, while he himself escapes on his boat.
- When Chris & Sheva made their way onto the boat he used his last ditch effort and injected himself with the dominant species plaga aware that the mutations are irreversible and mutates into a giant fish tentacle monster with his human part literally being the tongue and begins to fight Chris and Sheva himself.
- Upon the tongue getting cut off and him landing on the boat moments away the death, he gave away the location of the secret lab to Chris and Sheva while also mocking them and telling them that they can’t do anything about Uroboros and then he dies for good.
- Although Resident Evil has a high heinous standard and he obviously can’t be compared to Albert & Excella due to the duo being omnicidal maniacs, However they have a lot more resources than him, and Irving himself doesn't have as much as them, and the game makes it clear that he has a low resource count because he spends the majority of his screentime getting rid of all of them like the Uroboros Monster, Ndesu, Popokarimu and his Oil field factory to try and kill Chris and Sheva until his final confrontation where he has nothing left but the dominant plaga, Irving also passes for spreading the plagas across kijuju causing hundreds to thousands of deaths and funding the Uroboros project in the first place which he knows will spread across the world.
What Prevents Him from Being Pure Evil?[]
- Even though he put himself in that situation by infecting himself, his death is portrayed as somewhat sympathetic as he was slowly dying very painfully by being a cut-off tongue, even Chris felt bad for him too, he also said that everyone looks down on him.
