The Ashford family

The Ashford family

The Ashford family was founded by its first head, veronica, and continued for seven generations until the death of Alfred Ashford. The head of the family had to be of pure blood, it was a custom for a child sibling to be named successor after the current head’s death. However because of the sixth generations head Alexander was confined to the artic research lab’s prison he couldn’t be declared dead. Alfred became the successor by declaring himself the head of the family after Alexander’s disappearance.

First: Veronica Ashford

The founding member of the household.

Second: Stanley Ashford

Veronica's son and the farther of twins who would both inherit the Ashford family.

Third: Thomas Ashford

The elder of the twins born to Stanley

Forth: Arthur Ashford

The younger of the twins born to Stanley

Fifth: Edward Ashford

Arthur's son, and one of the founding members of Umbrella.

Sixth: Alexander Ashford

Edward's son, and the main person responsible for the Code Veronica project.

Seventh: Alfred Ashford

The elder brother of a brother/sister twin pair. He became head of the family after the disappearance of his father.

Project code veronica

Eighth: Alexia  

 The fifth generation of the Ashford family Edward discovered the progenitor along with his friend ozwell E Spencer. At the same time Edward’s son became aware that he did not have the ability to continue the virus research himself. After giving up on the collaborative research with his farther, he started the code: Veronica project. The project’s epic objective was to produce offspring with the skill to further the viral research, using the genetic engineering the Alexander has devoted his life to.

The project was named after veronica, the first head of the Ashford family, and was fuelled by Alexander’s extraordinary efforts. This came from Edward’s sudden death, and the accompanying decline the Ashford household’s status. Edward’s death was caused be accidental exposure the progenitor virus during an experiment. Due to these circumstances, Alexander was forced to hurry the veronica project, and in 1969 he constructed a large research facility in the Antarctic using a transport terminal to an abandoned mine. The project took off, the research Alexander preformed in the Antarctic base was actually intended to produce a cloned progenitor/veronica. The projects ultimate goal was to create a genius by introducing manufactured veronica genes (taken from the veronica mummy preserved in the basement of her European home) into an unfertilized egg in a host’s womb. Then, in 1971, the experiment was successful and two clones were born. The older brother, Alfred, did not possess the intelligence required by his farther, but the yonder sister, Alexia, proved to be a genius befitting the second coming of veronica. Alexander was immediately convinced that she would bring prosperity to the Ashford family.

Alexia’s intelligence and beauty surpassed even the legendary veronica, and captivated her creator, Alexander. First off, Alexia’s profound intelligence came from Alexander’s genetic manipulation. By interchanging the basic factors that define intelligence, he raised her intelligence to the limit. In other words, Alexander artificially created the perfect genius, and made an act of god a reality. However in exchange for her extreme intelligence, alexia was robbed of the essence of humanity. As a result she became obsessed with her own prosperity rather than that of the Ashford family. As soon as the new T veronica virus was developed, she opposed her father and chose to infuse the virus into her self. With this the code veronica project was a complete failure. And the Ashford family was ruined and sentenced to its doom
