What Makes Him Pure Evil?[]
In General/Background[]
- After being infected with an enhanced C-Virus strain by a J’avo, an enraged Simmons attempts to escape stumbling onto a passing train. On the train he is confronted by Leon and Helena, where he continues to justify his actions, hypocritically stating that Benford’s actions would’ve brought the world into chaos and that global political order would collapse, angered that the two of them would go after him and not Radames in his delusional mind of believing himself to be justified doing what's right for his country.
- As Helena points out his actions are completely hypocritical as his actions of causing a disaster and killing the US President to avert a possible scenario contradict his supposed justified means of ensuring global stability.
- His "love" for Ada is simply an unhealthy obsession where he views her a possession who should obey him, given he is perfectly willing to make a clone of her and his idea of a perfect Ada doesn't even have close to the same personality as the true Ada. Similarly he is just as willing to toss aside Carla, reasoning he can make another Ada.
- Despite having taken Sherry Birkin in as her Legal Guardian and allowing Claire Redfield to visit Sherry, Simmons showed no care for Sherry, citing how her kind and naive nature makes him sick, only using her as an agent due to her regenerative properties and having no issue with attacking her when she, Jake Muller, Leon S. Kennedy, and Helena Harper confront him. Claire Redfield was even cautious of Simmons, at one point warning Sherry about him.
- Overall Derek C. Simmons is responsible for all of the events of Resident Evil 6 despite Dr. Carla Radames causing most of the central terrorist attacks and conflicts. His vile actions go all the way back to Resident Evil 2 as he was responsible for Raccoon City’s destruction, and so on he led The Family in using bioterrorism to control world government to suit his own wishes for the development of the human race and world powers and uphold American Supremacy, instigating outbreaks and terrorism and justifying them as necessary to ensure global security. He is responsible for turning Radames into a sadistic monster bent on destroying the world and the creation of Neo Umbrella because of his infatuation and obsession with Ada Wong. Simmons is simply a vile monster who met his rightful demise.
- As a major hand in the sterilization operation, it was Simmons who was the true mastermind behind the Raccoon City’s Destruction in 1998. After having used Raccoon City in his research in bio-weaponry, Simmons had obtained all of the information from the incident and acted quickly to see that all evidence of the U.S. government's involvement with Umbrella Corporation was destroyed, with him and the Federal Government continuing to cover up the existence of the T-Virus, B.O.Ws and their own involvements in Umbrella's bio-weapons development project. As a result of his actions Simmons is responsible for over 100,000 deaths from Raccoon City’s destruction.
Resident Evil 6[]
- As a descendant of the founder of The Family, a secret shadow organization dedicated to controlling the world by working behind the scenes and manipulating governments, carving out their own wishes for the development of the human race and world powers, Simmons became the head of The Family.
- When Simmons gained control over The Family, the organization became favorable towards the use of bio-weaponry to maintain American supremacy against rival superpowers, becoming a much more dangerous and powerful organization in Simmons leadership.
- As the overseer of The Family’s C-Virus project, Simmons is responsible for all uses of bioterrorism across the world involving the C-Virus. There are many instances of the C-Virus being used in terrorism across the world because of Simmons merely for research purposes.
- The Marhawa Incident was a series of cannibalistic homicides that occurred at the exclusive Christian Academy, Marhawa School, instigated by students Bindi Bergara and Nanan Yoshihara who deliberately infected a number of students and staff with the C-Virus causing a mass outbreak, where the entire population of the boarding school including staff and students were killed. Even though Dr. Carla Radames was responsible for the Marhawa Incident by supplying Bindi and Nanan with the C-Virus just to perfect the C-Virus by by radicalizing and aiding potential customers to accumulate research data, Simmons is to blame as he was the one in charge of the C-Virus project and its use in terrorism across the world.
- The Edonian Civil War had gathered the attention of The Family and Neo Umbrella, who under the authority of Dr. Carla Radames provided strains of the C-Virus under the guise of stimulants, which mutated the rebels into J’avo Zombies. The mass massacres and use of bioweapons in Edonia got the attention of the Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance where American and European branches worked together to eradicate the J'avo. Five major teams were deployed to end the Civil War, however many of the teams suffered J’avo surprise attacks, casualties, injury, and mutation from the hands of the B.O.Ws. and Radames. Simmons had supplied the C-Virus to Radames and Neo-Umbrella, making him responsible for the mass infection of Rebel Soldiers and deaths of BSAA Personnel deployed to resolve the Civil War.
- Infatuated with Ada Wong, when Ada left The Family due to Simmons’ hand in destroying Raccoon City, Simmons became mad with obsession trying to get Ada back, eventually creating Project Ada, where for ten years he would kidnap 12,234 women experimenting on them in his efforts to create his own Ada Wong. His victims turned into horrific monstrosities, most notably Helena Harper’s sister Deborah who Helena was forced to kill.
- When the young and intelligent Dr. Carla Radames came under his employment, Simmons disregarded her romantic feelings for him, only taking advantage of her feelings for him, convincing her to become a test subject in Project Ada. When the experiment was a success, Simmons forcibly rewired the newly reborn Radames’ mind, making sure she was completely identical to Ada Wong.
- Simmons’ experimentation on Dr. Radames drove her into insanity, turning her into a sadistic monster bent on exacting revenge on Simmons by destroying the world, a blow to his obsessed views on maintaining world order.
- Simmons gave control over The Family's enormous East Asian paramilitary to Radames. However after realizing Simmons horrifically experimented on her just to satisfy his own lust, Radames began syphoning off Family funds to establish Neo Umbrella, a bioterrorist organization with a core goal of world destruction. Simmons is to blame for the creation of Neo Umbrella and Radames’ descent into insanity as it was he who manipulated her feelings and horrifically experimented on her.
- He sent Sherry Birkin and Carla Radames to Edonia to take Jake Muller, a mercenary working for the Edonian Rebels and the son of Albert Wesker, into custody so the special antibodies in his blood would go towards enhancing the C-Virus rather than creating a vaccine for the virus.
- When President Adam Benford, a close friend of Simmons whose friendship lasted over thirty years, began serious considerations of revealing the truth behind the Raccoon City Incident and the US Government’s involvement, Simmons saw him as a threat to American Prestige and The Family’s ability to manipulate to the world’s political order, delusionally expressing later to Leon S. Kennedy and Helena Harper that Benford would lead the world into chaos. Simmons would order the assassination of his close friend through the Tall Oaks Incident.
- To assassinate President Benford, Simmons reassigned CIA agent Helena Harper to the Secret Service as he believed she could be emotionally manipulated into assisting in the attack. Simmons ordered The Family to abduct Harper and her sister Deborah and be taken to The Family’s secret headquarters, where Simmons forced Helena to agree to take part in the assassination plot in exchange for Deborah's safety. However Simmons ordered the destruction of their facilities and the deaths of anyone who knew of the assassination plot. As a result Simmons broke his promise to Helena even after she aided in Benford’s assassination, infecting Deborah with the C-Virus and experimenting on her in Project Ada.
- Simmons ordered The Family to place Lepoticas (B.O.Ws. capable of dispersing C-Virus in a mist) at points around Tall Oaks to guarantee rapid infection, which resulted in thousands of innocents dying or becoming infected with the C-Virus, including Secret Service agents tasked with protecting Benford. President Benford himself mutated into a Zombie after inhaling the mist, who was shot by his friend, US agent Leon S. Kennedy.
- As the instigator of the Incident, Simmons is responsible for 70,000 people becoming infected with the C-Virus in Tall Oaks, totaling at 90% of the city's population. Later he would order the destruction of the city with a missile strike.
- After the Tall Oaks Incident, Simmons intercepts Leon’s call with Ingrid Hunnigan, declaring that both he and Helena are key suspects in the assassination plot and on the Most Wanted List, suggesting they turn themselves in just to cover up his instigation of the incident, and later on putting on orders to have them both killed. At a point in the call Simmons vaguely smirks when he incriminates Leon and Helena, implying he felt sadistic joy in falsely incriminating the two.
- After receiving a call from the real Ada Wong, Simmons realizes Dr. Radames’s nefarious plans of destroying the world with the newly established Neo-Umbrella organization, swiftly heading to China. While on his way to China after learning that Leon and Helena had faked their deaths thanks to Hunnigan and were after him, he sends a family agent to infect the pilot with a Lepotisa strain of C-Virus, infecting everyone onboard the plane to ensure the plane crashes and the two are dead.
- When meeting up with Sherry Birkin and Jake Muller at a rendezvous point in Koocheng, China, he is surprised as he is confronted by Leon and Helena. Simmons demands Sherry arrest Leon and Helena, and after Sherry presses for him for answers on the terrorist attacks, Simmons admits his involvements justifying them as for the good of global security.
- After being infected with an enhanced C-Virus strain by a J’avo, an enraged Simmons attempts to escape stumbling onto a passing train. On the train he is confronted by Leon and Helena, where he continues to justify his actions, hypocritically stating that Benford’s actions would’ve brought the world into chaos and that global political order would collapse, angered that the two of them would go after him and not Radames in his delusional mind of believing himself to be justified doing what's right for his country.
- As Helena points out his actions are completely hypocritical as his actions of causing a disaster and killing the US President to avert a possible scenario contradict his supposed justified means of ensuring global stability.
- He manages to topple Leon to the edge of the platform, where he taunts Leon demanding he beg for his life. He then steps on Leon’s hand trying to make him lose his grip and fall to his death until Ada plunges one of her crossbow arrows into his torso, letting him go fall to his demise in the flames below.
