"MAYBE YOU FORGOT, WESKER. I DON'T ALWAYS PLAY BY YOUR RULES."
After Spain, Ada continues to work under Wesker, despite not giving him his precious amber. A rare, romantic run-in with Leon makes her recall his question to her on the boat: had she changed? With a stroke of her thumb over his brow, she sees the inky lines of the plaga coursing just under his skin. Leon tells her she doesn't need to worry about him, and that it's likely nothing. This only confirms her suspicions.Old habits died hard.
She gets in touch with Albert Wesker and persuades him to take a look at Leon under the guise of offering Leon up to him as a research subject. A lot can be gained here: Wesker can get new research, Ada can give him the pleasure of the lead, and Leon can walk away fully healed. Can Ada persuade Leon to cooperate and get Wesker to produce a cure... without the cost of her sacrificial lamb's life?
under the skin
Ada is dry, but playful; blunt, but sincere. As an accomplished spy and mercenary, the true nature of her guarded heart is obscured… just the way she likes it. Her ability to cast off her humanity has kept her alive, but finds herself growing restless in a role she used to embrace. Change is equal parts freeing and stifling; Ada has become uninterested in merely doing what it takes to survive, and ponders what sacrifices must be made to truly live.

background; 1998 - 2004
Ada's past (and present) are a mystery to all but one other: Albert Wesker. While drawing the ire of the United States government due to her adept mercenary and spy work, Wesker vouched for her abilities to his employers to keep the FBI off of her trail. Wesker saw potential in her during her time affiliated with various crime gangs and small-ops spy missions, enjoying her wit and professionalism. The two forged a complex, mutually-beneficial bond with one another, seeing it as a means of ultimately achieving their own goals.
Relieved to not be in a jail cell, she commits herself to the Organization full time, eventually coming to work under Albert on various missions throughout the course of the franchise. There is a silent respect (albeit mutual distrust) between Albert and Agent Wong, despite it being mutually clear that their own motives will always take precedence. Nevertheless, they make good use of one another and continue their complex, symbiotic working relationship with... benefits.
Wong would go on to provide on-the-ground support as an Umbrella spy (though her loyalty to the company was nonexistent), participating in all sorts of valuable reconnaissance both with and, eventually, for Wesker. The most notable of which was her infiltration of Umbrella's underground facility and subsequent role in the Raccoon City outbreak in 1998. Her short time with rookie cop Leon S. Kennedy in the zombie-infested city resulted in her "death", making her question the means in which she's navigated her professional life thus far.
Albert sends his most trusted confidante to aid in the collection of the amber, a sample of the dominant species of what is known as the plaga. This parasite has the power to control weaker strains of the species and bolster their power at will. She doesn't know what he wants with it, only that he likely shouldn't be the one in possession of it. She doesn't typically allow herself this kind of reflection. Leon had asked her if she'd changed. Did he know how he affected her?
In pursuit of the amber, Ada contracts a plaga of her own from the Black Robe. As the virus began to negatively affect her, Luis was able to mix up a suppressant to halt its growth. This bought her time to confront the beast that infected her and kill it, purging the plaga from her own body. This minor inconvenience wasn't enough to deter her from her mission for too long; after helping Leon a few times along the way, Ada succeeded in capturing the amber specimen, escaping the island in one of Wesker's helicopters. Her destination, however, was a mystery.
