Backstory (“ Luis was born and raised in Valdelobos, a devoutly Catholic village located within the sparsely populated mountainous region of the same name in Spain; the population there were traditionalist luddite isolationists who had shunned most modern technology in favour of a pre-industrial lifestyle. His mother died in childbirth, leaving him to be raised by his grandfather, who hunted in the woodlands in the valley. From a very young age, Luis had a curiosity for the world around him and was observant beyond his years. He would often attempt to follow his grandfather on hunting trips and had become fascinated with fairy tales and stories, most notably that of Don Quixote. His grandfather would note that, had he not been stuck in the reclusive village, he would make a worthy scholar. In his adolescence, Serra's grandfather was attacked by a ravenous wolf while hunting, the old man managed to make it back to the family's cabin, but had become infected with an unknown illness as a result of the attack and his condition would only further deteriorate, leaving rumours of "madness" spreading among the villagers. The word of the grandfather's strange illness soon reached the then-current village chieftan, who confided in Bitores Méndez to prevent the infection from spreading. Thus, one night while Serra was out of the house, he would return to find his family's cabin set ablaze, with his grandfather lost to the flames. Méndez would write that the entire village had gathered to watch in shock and terror, yet even after the last ember had been extinguished, the young Serra still looked on without uttering a word, not moving a muscle until dawn. After this, he disappeared from the village. After leaving, Serra set out to make a name for himself in the modern world in his grandfather's memory and enrolled in a public university, earning a degree as a prodigy biologist. Afterwards, Dr. Serra's potential was noted by his peers and his reputation drew the attention of then-prestigious Umbrella Pharmaceuticals, who hired Serra. During his tenure with the company, Dr. Serra produced several over-the-counter medications, all of which were unfortunately discontinued before reaching shelves. At some point, Dr. Serra would become part of Umbrella Europe's Sixth Laboratory, which oversaw continued research on the NE-α, a parasite that could take control of a victim by hijacking its nervous system. This research would eventually lead to the development of the Nemesis T-Type. However, Luis would become disillusioned with the company and his work and soon resigned from the company.In 1998, following the widely-publicised Raccoon City Destruction Incident, an international investigation was carried out by various government bodies and law enforcement agencies to locate and subpoena everyone associated with the conglomerate's R&D division in the ongoing Raccoon Trials. However, by this time, Dr. Serra had already returned to his isolated home of Valdelobos without leaving so much as a trace to his identity or whereabouts. + Luis returned to Valdelobos as it was being taken over by Los Iluminados, a cult which worshipped a parasitic organism native to the area. The cult's leader and prophet, Lord Osmund Saddler, used the village's superstitious legends and devout religiosity as a recruiting tool for his real objective: to spread the Plagas across the planet and achieve his ideal world peace. Luis was hired to lead the genetic research and modification of the Plagas on a private island facility, and had been given instructions by Saddler to discover ways to weaken and/or remove the Plaga from hosts. But Luis learns his research was meant to find the parasite's weaknesses and thus engineer a more resilient generation of Plaga. Luis became guilt-ridden upon learning of Saddler's true agenda, he ended up contacting Ada Wong and her employer, requesting their aid to escape in return for the Plaga sample called the Amber and its research data. Luis acquires the Amber and hides it away at a secure location, but he is caught along with other scientists and forcibly implanted with the Plaga, though he manages to extract it before being fully taken over and flee back to Valdelobos.“)

Las plagas parasite (“ Ancient Civilizations: The parasite originally lay dormant in amber deep underground and was used by an ancient civilization before causing their collapse and being sealed away beneath what would become Salazar Castle. + Los Illuminados: The religious cult Los Illuminados, led by Osmund Saddler and assisted by Ramón Salazar, unsealed the parasites to control local villagers and launch a global abduction and bioterrorism plot. + Infection Method: Victims are implanted with a Plaga egg (often via injection or force) that hatches and travels through the nervous system to settle between the heart and the lungs. + Control vs. Zombies: Unlike Umbrella's t-Virus, which destroys the mind and turns people into mindless zombies, Las Plagas subtly seizes the central nervous system while allowing hosts to retain intelligence, speak, use weapons, and coordinate in a hive mind. + Dominant vs. Subordinate Strains: Normal hosts (known as Ganados in Spain or Majini in Africa) obey anyone carrying a Dominant Plaga (such as Osmund Saddler or the Salazar family) + Guadaña (Scythe): Sprouts multiple tentacles with bladelike bone structures from the host's neck/head. + Mandibula (Mandible/Jaw): Features a large, biting jaw that can decapitate or heavily damage targets. + Arana (Spider): The final growth state where the parasite can detach from a dead or dying host to crawl independently or infect a new target. + Dominant Species / B.O.W.s: Used to create mutated monsters like Regeneradors, El Gigante, and Novistadors. + Ultraviolet/Bright Light: Exposed Plaga tissue is highly photosensitive; bright sunlight or flash grenades can severely damage or incapacitate them. Removal: The parasite can theoretically be extracted before it fully matures and takes complete control, though the procedure is extremely dangerous and painful.“)
