Template:Resident Evil character Osmund Saddler is a fictional character and the main antagonist in the video game Resident Evil 4. A powerful religious figure, he was responsible for spreading a deadly plague that turned an entire village into mindless automations under his control. Saddler's many underlings include village chief Bitores Mendez, castle lord Ramon Salazar and super mercenary Jack Krauser. He is also responsible for the creation of the several mutated creatures (such El Gigante, Del Lago and the Regenerator) that resulted from genetic experiments with the Plaga parasites.
Saddler' voice was provided by voice actor Michael Gough.
Background
Template:Spoiler Osmund Saddler is the leader of a religious cult in Europe known as the "Los Iluminados" (from Spanish, The Illuminated Ones) 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 the seal on the parasites. Due to years of lying dormant, the parasites have since formed into a spore-like substance, which infected the miners and later spread to the rest of the local villagers, transforming them into brain-controlled creatures known as "Ganados", meaning cattle in Spanish. Saddler was also capable of controlling the Ganados using a specialized sample of the Plaga vial and what appeared to be ceremonial rod made from one of the parasites.
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 were 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 police officer working 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, after Saddler realized the Plaga had been removed from Leon, and subsequently Ashley, completely destroying his plans. Saddler reveals his true form that concealed underneath his robe as a giant spider-like Plaga parasite with an eye on each leg and one inside Saddler's mouth (which was evidently his weakest point). With Ada's help, Leon succeeds in putting an end to Saddler once and for all by using a specialized Rocket Launcher.
