Background
Template:Spoiler Osmund Saddler is the leader of a religious cult in Europe known as the "Los Iluminados" (from Spanish, The Enlightened) which seeks to overthrow the U.S. government in order to reshape the world to their vision. He was successful in unleashing the "Plagas" parasites which remained dormant in the Salazar family's castle by brainwashing the eighth castellan, Ramon, to do his bidding. The two contracted miners from a nearby village to excavate seal. Due to years lying dormants, the parasites have since mutated into a spore-like substance, which infected the miners and later spread to the rest of the locals, transforming them into sub-human creatures known as "Ganados". Saddler was also capable of controlling the Ganados using a specialized sample of the Plaga vial.
In 2004, Saddler hired mercenary Jack Krauser to kidnap the U.S. President's daughter, Ashley Graham, as part of a plot to inject her with a Plaga egg and sent her back to the U.S. under his control under the guise of holding her for ransom.
However, Ashley's whereabouts was leaked to the U.S. by female spy Ada Wong and agent Leon S. Kennedy was sent on a rescue mission to find her. During his mission, Leon was injected with the Plaga parasite by Saddler himself while he was unconscious under captivity. This gave Saddler partial control of Leon, in addition to Ashley, as the parasites within their bodies began to harvest. He was also responsible for the death of Luis Sera, a former cop posing as a hired researcher.
Leon managed to free Ashley from Saddler's clutches and the two found an Anti-Plaga Radiation Device within Saddler's island base, removing their parasites and thus, foiling Saddler's plans. Leon then fought with Saddler himself, who transformed into a giant four-legged creature. With Ada's help, Leon succeeded in putting an end to Saddler once and for all.
