George Trevor
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
George Trevor is a minor fictional character in the Resident Evil series. George, a well-known architect from New York, was hired to design the infamous Spencer Mansion in the Arklay Mountains.
George Trevor's story was originally told in a promotional source book released in Japan titled The True Story Behind Biohazard, which contained a journal of Trevor's involvement in the mansion incident and his eventual fate. A revised version of his diary was included in the 2002 GameCube remake of the original Resident Evil.
[edit] Background
Long before the events of Resident Evil, Ozwell E. Spencer hires Trevor to design and build a mansion in the Arklay Mountains. Trevor, a famed architect from New York, agrees to take up the project. Near the mansion’s completion, Trevor notices that numerous unplanned traps and structures were added to the mansion, including an underground laboratory. Spencer eventually catches wind of Trevor’s discovery, and devises a plan to eliminate Trevor.
Trevor eventually leaves the mansion sometime in the late 1960s, and begins working on other assignments. During this period, Spencer invites Trevor’s daughter and wife, Jessica and Lisa Trevor, to the mansion for a vacation. Spencer and his henchmen capture the two, and use their absence to lure Trevor back to the mansion. He becomes suspicious of Spencer, and makes numerous failed attempts to leave the mansion. Spencer catches Trevor, seals him in a vault, and uses his family as human guinea pigs for the Umbrella Corporation.
In the Nintendo GameCube remake of Resident Evil, a player is able to read Trevor’s journal and notes, which reveals his declining relationship with Spencer. Additionally, one is able to visit his final resting-place by playing Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata on a piano in the mansion’s lounge. A player also encounters Trevor’s daughter, Lisa, who is portrayed as a deranged mutation. Jessica’s remains are also found during the latter portion of the game. Logs and notes pertaining to his family's experimentations are scattered throughout the game, and mentioned in the Wesker Report.
