In Resident Evil Village, the foundation of Umbrella was revealed to be inspired by the fallout between Spencer and his former mentor Mother Miranda, the main antagonist of the game and the Greater-Scope Villain of the entire series. Despite this, the company finally achieved redemption due to the efforts of its more benevolent former employees who repurposed it into a PMC (private military company) under the name 'Blue Umbrella' to combat biological threats, be it ones they caused during Umbrella's dark days or from other forces, though the tension with the world still remains. government ordered an indefinite suspension of Umbrella's practices and soon its stock prices plummeted, and Umbrella was finally finished. After Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine infiltrated Umbrella's Russian stronghold and destroyed T-A.L.O.S., the company's major benefactor Albert Wesker used Chris and Jill's distraction to kill Sergei Vladimir and stole Umbrella's data from the Red Queen supercomputer and presented the evidence of Umbrella's actions to the U.S. Umbrella's true nature was revealed to the public after the events of Raccoon City but was able to stay afloat using several scapegoats. Umbrella was the most infamous company for being largely responsible for the infection that sweeps across Raccoon City (and other areas of the world) due to the creation of several highly volatile mutagen viruses and parasites - the most famous being the G-Virus, T-Virus and Nemesis Parasite.

In addition, many of the Resident Evil video game franchise's major antagonists have connections to the Umbrella Corporation, making it arguably the true antagonist of the series (though some would say that title belongs to Albert Wesker). They are also the ones behind the outbreaks in the Arklay Mountains and Raccoon City as well as the instigators of numerous other events in the series. When the franchise first originated, Umbrella Corporation was depicted one of the most powerful companies on Earth and was a huge organization that acted out as a mega-corporation due to be so massive enough to the point where it has established subdivisions in almost every business imaginable, as well as even having its own organized paramilitary force. The Umbrella Corporation is the main antagonistic faction of Resident Evil franchise. ~ A company slogan of the Umbrella Corporation.
