Ada Wong (エイダ・ウォン, Eida Won?) is the pseudonym of an enigmatic unnamed spy of Asian-American descent. She has gained notoriety in the corporate world for being able to handle serious situations and the most difficult requests without guilt.
Wong has acted secretly in the background of many biohazard incidents and collected information which became useful to several organisations, while at the same time operating to undermine them. However, Wong follows only her own "true purpose" and has often betrayed the organisations and customers she is affiliated with to achieve it.
Early life:
Wong's personal life is a complete mystery. Her ethnicity and nationality are left unconfirmed, and when and where she was born are also unknown, not to mention her birth date.
According to one account by Wong herself, she was born around 1974 to a wealthy Chinese-Vietnamese family in the Chợ Lớn district of Saigon in the final months of the Vietnam War. In the aftermath of the Fall of Saigon, persecution of the Hoa became commonplace due to class division. When she was three years old, Wong's family sold off what remained of their assets to human traffickers in order to escape to the United States, but they were ultimately cheated and arrived with no money to survive on. However, the validity of this account is questionable as Wong would later remark on this story as being fabricated to test Leon S. Kennedy's gullibility.
Early intelligence career:
As a young adult, Wong became linked to several international criminal organizations and participated in missions both domestically and abroad. During one of her missions, Wong was given the task of operating within a pool of illegal immigrant workers living out of a dilapidated pigsty and spreading highly toxic pesticides on a potato farm as part of the group. Many workers died and the remaining laborers were forced to bury the corpses by hand.
In the mid-1990s, Wong had gained an advantageous position within a Chinese American crime gang. This organization enjoyed an explosive success for their ruthless elimination of their competition, but the resulting power vacuum quickly drew the attention of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, who shut down their operations and once again left Wong on the run.
Seeing her potential arrest by the authorities as a "waste of talent", Wong was then approached by Albert Wesker, who sought to recruit her to a powerful bioweapons corporation known as "the Organization" which had been on the lookout for top-quality espionage agents, particularly in their rivalry with the powerful international conglomerate: Umbrella Corporation. The Organization initially questioned Wong's loyalty due to her duplicitous nature and refusal to reveal her true identity, but with Wesker's endorsement had come to the conclusion that she would be an ideal fit for the job. Around the same time, Wong made an influential connection in the form of Derek C. Simmons, a member of the secret fraternity The Family, who abused his position as a high-ranking government official to cement his political agenda. Wong accepted several freelance missions on his behalf, however their working relationship quickly became complicated as Simmons developed obsessive tendencies towards her.
