About: William Birkin/biology   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

Although bearing the greatest resemblance to William's former self, his upper torso is far more muscular due to a sudden increase of muscle mass. Due to the development of the G-virus, damaged tissue is replaced with a more heavily muscled version. This characteristic of the virus led to a disproportionate right arm, two tiny vestigial limbs developed lateral to the abdomen underneath the original arms, a foreshadow of his later mutations; and a large tumor-like eyeball has developed within the shoulder. It is implied in cutscenes, and by his initial actions, such as directly pursuing and attacking the U.S.S. team that had assaulted him, that Birkin is, at least initially, still in control of himself in this form.

  • Although bearing the greatest resemblance to William's former self, his upper torso is far more muscular due to a sudden increase of muscle mass. Due to the development of the G-virus, damaged tissue is replaced with a more heavily muscled version. This characteristic of the virus led to a disproportionate right arm, two tiny vestigial limbs developed lateral to the abdomen underneath the original arms, a foreshadow of his later mutations; and a large tumor-like eyeball has developed within the shoulder. It is implied in cutscenes, and by his initial actions, such as directly pursuing and attacking the U.S.S. team that had assaulted him, that Birkin is, at least initially, still in control of himself in this form. Conversely, when Annette recollects William Birkin's transformation and his slaughter of the Umbrella Security Service, G is shown slashing the soldiers with talons. When G first appears, though, no such claws are visible whatsoever; thus, one can assume that the talons were either lost in a process of devolution (contrary to the G-virus' properties), or, more likely atrophied away following lack of use in any further combat (a process much more akin to the expected course of action of the G-virus, due to its unpredictable abilities and volatile mutations). It should be noted, however, that G's arm mutates further after tearing off the guardrail, bulging grotesquely and gaining the spike of bone surmounting the eyeball in the shoulder. It should be noted that G first form is the only one of his humanoid forms that have shoes. It also embued the user with extremely enhanced strength, from yanking a guardrail off, to even potentially ripping a grown man in half.
