Resident Evil Requiem: Who is Zeno?

As already specified, Zeno shares an uncanny resemblance with Wesker, but other than that, he also shares similar abilities like Wesker. For instance, he can move at super speed, able to dodge bullets, and above all of that, Zeno prefers using handguns to wipe out his opponents.Despite the similarities that Zeno shares with Albert Wesker, Resident Evil Requiem doesn’t establish a direct connection between both these characters.

But considering the physical resemblance and similarity, it can be said that Zeno is a clone of Albert Wesker.There is a possibility that Connections are behind the creation of Zeno. The Connections are the nefarious group, who were first introduced in Resident Evil 7, operate from the shadows and they are considered even more sinister than Umbrella. Having said that, The Connections could have used Umbrella’s own research facilities to create new Bioweapons, including clones, made from Wesker’s genetic material.

That explains the fact, why Victor Gideon, former Umbrella researcher states in his remark that Zeno is just a mere imitation. But it can be wondered why anyone doesn't know about it yet, or maybe the Connections have kept this information under wraps.As there is no official confirmation shared by Capcom regarding Zeno’s character, it can be assumed either he is a clone, a pale imitation or a completely different individual. Yes, it's true that he is the spitting image of Albert Wesker and also shares similar attributes like him. But the assumptions of him being a clone might be an exaggeration, since Resident Evil Requiem have not given any particular hint about it.Zeno might be a completely different individual altogether who survived the Raccoon City outbreak in 1998.
