From there, Duvall released two Hunter Elites from their warehouse storage, hoping to kill McGivern and Fongling. Too weak to fight back, Duvall travelled down into a monitor room for Umbrella security members. The two fled into the ship, leaving Duvall behind. Deciding to execute McGivern right on the deck, Duvall became distracted and was seriously wounded by a grenade thrown by Chinese MSS operative, Fongling. Likely having anticipated this, Duvall tracked down and disarmed US Army operator Bruce McGivern shortly after his arrival. After a tip-off from Umbrella itself, the US and China determined Duvall's location and sent personnel over to apprehend Duvall.

Īs per the mission, Duvall alerted the US and China to the missile threat, but refused to give away the location of the silo. With Spencer Rain now redirected to the island, Duvall emailed the Bio-Sphere, ordering them to put the facility on alert and to require an attached voice recording to access certain areas. Within the next few days, the passengers and crew were eliminated, along with most of Duvall's henchmen. On Saturday 21 September, the group made their way into the ship's hold, releasing the ship's B.O.W. On 18 September 2002, the group attacked Umbrella Europe's Paris laboratory and escaped with three test-tubes containing a t-Virus strain and one of the experimental t+G-Virus, After this, they came on board Spencer Rain, an Umbrella-owned cruiser used as a covert means for the company to auction B.O.W.s to VIPs. These two nations were then to be held hostage in exchange for $50 billion, enough in Duvall's eyes to finance the creation of their African realm. Having secretly constructed a missile silo on the coast of their island fortress, the group intended to steal bioweapons from a laboratory and place them within the warheads of ballistic missiles targetted at China and the United States. In September 2002, the group finally made their move on Umbrella. Duvall's obsession with beauty only increased as time went by, as noted by P.T., and in early 2002 Duvall underwent cosmetic surgery to better resemble their ideal self. In their interpretation of the principles, the group intended to take over the Bio-Sphere and use its secrets to finance the formation of an African colony built on eugenics principles, to be led by Duvall and populated by only the most beautiful people. The organisation held three core principles: Africa was the symbol of power on the earth, the Bio-Sphere was the symbol of worldly knowledge, and Duvall was the symbol of beauty. Umbrella HQ was aware of these developments, and planted P.T.


Umbrella's attempts to ruin Duvall's career failed, and their charisma allowed them to form a fanatical group of ex-Umbrella employees loyal only to them. During the internal inquiry, Umbrella HQ took advantage of the situation, and Duvall was personally blamed for the facility's loss. Attempts to prevent the onset of Cannibal Disease failed, and Umbrella HQ was forced to aggressively maintain a quarantine, allowing everyone to turn or be killed to prevent escapes. In May 1998, the Arklay Laboratory suffered an outbreak of t-Virus, which soon infected the majority of personnel after contaminating the drinking water. In spite of Duvall's notoriety, they managed to form a power base within the company, which represented a potential threat to the company's internal structure. Duvall's career was highlighted by gross negligence towards employee safety, which led to dozens of deaths at the disposal facility following a decision to allow escaped B.O.W.s to thrive in the sewers. Alongside their senior role within the R&D Division, Duvall was also commander of an island base in the Atlantic and manager of the Bio-Sphere and its adjacent waste disposal facility. Duvall is known to have held a number of senior executive positions within Umbrella in the mid-1990s.
