T-00

T1 is one of the T-103 tyrants and an enemy from Resident Evil 2.

Creation
T1 was one of the mass produced T-103 tyrants, created on Sheena Island, an island owned by Umbrella that was aptly named the Tyrant Plant. To get rid fo the high incompatibiliy ratio common amongst Tyrants, the T-103's were given an adrenal neurotransmitter taken from the Locus Ceruleus. Production continued until the Sheena Island facility was destroyed.

Racooon City Outbreak
After the Raccoon City T-Virus outbreak, T1 was dropped from a helicopter into the Raccoon City Police Department, so as to retrieve the last of the G-Virus samples. Meanwhile the other 5 T-103s were taken to the Dead Factory to take care of the US Special Forces members who had infiltrated it. Meanwhile T1 began looking for the G-Virus sample and as a result, had numerous confrontations with Claire Refield and Leon S. Kennedy, though they managed to defeat and escape him again and again. Finally T1 managed to corner Sherry Birkin, who had a G-Virus sample in her pendant. However Claire showed up before the tyrant could take the sample and Sherry tossed the pendant to her. Claire then outwitted T1 by throwing the pendant off of the bridge they were, on making him go after it and fall into an incineration pit below. However, he wasn't done yet and attacked Leon one more time, this time far more mutated after all the damage it had received from almost being incinerated. However a mysterious figure (actually Ada Wong) threw Leon a rocket launcher that let him destroy the creature once and for all.

Powers
T1 possesses superuman strength, endurance, and durability, able to smash through walls without much trouble and, though enough shots can incapacitate him for awhile, he always keep coming. Despite his bulk body, T1 can move rather fast when he wants to. If he is hurt too much however, T1 will mutate into a less humanoid form with large claws and a slightly protruding heart. In this form, he can slash his enemies with his claws and move faster, though he is suceptible to explosives, much like the T-002 Tyrant from the first Resident Evil.

Trivia

 * T1 is very similar to the Terminator. Both stalk their prey without relent, pity, or remorse and have similar statures. Also both have a similar type classification (T1 is a T-103 and the termiantor is a T-800).


 * In Resident evil: Darkside Chronicles, Leon refers to him as "Trenchy".
