The Mastermind
Lore
Albert Wesker was a high-ranking official in the Umbrella Corporation. While he made great strides with Umbrella, his ambition drove him to betray the corporation. Believing himself the best test subject, he exposed himself to the Prototype virus. Now with superhuman strength, Wesker faked his death and went underground with a new plan: expose the world to Uroboros, a biological weapon that would eliminate the weak and leave only the strong.
Wesker began to put his plan to action in Africa but was confronted by members of the Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance at a hangar stocked with missiles carrying Uroboros. Determined to be at the vanguard of evolution, he once again made himself a test subject. Exposing himself to Uroboros, he began to evolve in ways he could have never imagined. But as he felt his cells change, a strange black fog seeped into the hangar and filled his vision. When the fog finally dissipated, he found himself in another world surrounded by lesser beings that deserved to be put out of their misery.
Perks
Awakened Awareness
Your genes have been altered to heighten your senses in intense situations.
When carrying a Survivor, you can see the aura of other Survivors within 16/18/20 meters of your position.
Terminus
You are a brilliant tactician who prepares for every eventuality.
When exit gates are powered, this perk activates. While Terminus is active, injured, downed and hooked Survivors are inflicted with the Broken status effect until exit gates are open.
When exit gates are open, Survivors will stay Broken for an additional 20/25/30 seconds.
Broken prevents Survivors from being healed.
Superior Anatomy
Decades of research have culminated in you: something faster, stronger, and more dangerous than any human.
When a Survivor performs a fast vault within 8 meters of you, this perk activates. The next time you vault a window, your vaulting speed is increased by 30/35/40%.
This perk deactivates after vaulting a window.
This perk has a 30 second cooldown.
Power
Virulent Bound
The Mastermind can barrel forward, Infecting Survivors with the Uroboros virus or leaping over obstacles.
Press and hold the Power button to charge a Bound attack. While charging, The Mastermind moves slightly slower as he prepares his strike. When charged, press the Attack button to Bound. If The Mastermind hits a Survivor, that Survivor becomes Infected (or furthers their Infection). Should The Mastermind crash into something during this Bound, he will slam the Survivor, causing damage; if not, the Survivor is thrown, losing a health state if they are thrown into any solid object.
If Virulent Bound hits a dropped pallet or vault location, The Mastermind vaults over the obstacle.
SPECIAL EFFECT: UROBOROS INFECTION
Upon being hit by Virulent Bound, Survivors become Infected. Infected builds over time, and when fully Infected, the Survivor suffers from the Hindered effect. If a Virulent Bound grabs and slams a Survivor while they are fully Infected, The Mastermind will automatically carry them.
SPECIAL INTERACTION: FIRST AID SPRAY
At the beginning of each trial, several Supply Crates spawn. Each contains a First Aid Spray. When Infected, a Survivor can use the First Aid Spray on themselves or another, removing the Infection. Each First Aid Spray has a set number of charges. After using a First Aid Spray, the Survivor's location is briefly revealed by Killer Instinct.
