Director of Tricell Africa, Excella Gionne
She's hot, but has bad taste in men.
And she has no qualms in being part of a conspiracy in which she would be instrumental in the genocide of over six billion people thanks to a freakish new virus created by Albert Wesker and (inadvertantly) Jill Valentine.
Excella Gionne is the boss of Tricell's African Branch. She also has the hots for Albert Wesker, although he is not interested in her. To Wesker, she is a means to an end.

Bio:
Excella Gionne was a member of the Gionne family, which was well known and respected throughout Europe for their successful export-import business. Excella's model-like beauty and aristocratic upbringing made her haughty towards those around her, especially men. Her grandmother was of the Travis family, the founders of TriCell Pharmaceutical Company, which had bestowed Excella with quite a noble and storied lineage.
Excella was gifted with a keen intellect and inherited her father's business acumen. As a result, Excella quickly breezed through school, and enrolled at a university at a startlingly young age, where she majored in genetic engineering. Accepting employment at Tricell, Excella worked her way through the ranks and through the help of Wesker, she was able to become a head official of the company. Using Excella's romantic interest in him to his advantage, Wesker convinced Excella to become CEO of Tricell's African division in Africa. She then reopened the abandoned Umbrella research facility there, allowing access to the Progenitor virus, which led to the creation of the Uroboros virus.
Excella is an antagonist in Resident Evil 5. She is seen handling samples of PG67A/W, which she administers to Wesker at certain times, and is in command of all TriCell presence in Africa. Gionne became an ally of Albert Wesker, aiding him in his mysterious plans. Notably, she seems to be interested romantically in Wesker(though he clearly feels nothing for her), with whom she is on a first-name basis. She is also responsible for Wesker's serum injections that maintains his viral stability. She can also seen alongside a masked Jill Valentine. While under chemical mind control, Jill was seen assisting Gionne several times as well as fighting Chris Redfield and Sheva Alomar while Excella looked on.
As Chris and Sheva come across an open area of the deck of Wesker's freighter, Excella is seen, next to an enormous pile of Majini corpses, in the throes of agony as Uroboros starts to reject her. She cries out for Wesker in pain, asking how he could betray her after everything she'd done for him. From afar, Wesker speaks through a PA system, taunting her as Chris and Sheva look on. Dropping to her knees, she throws her head back. Uroboros Aheri erupts from her mouth, killing her and consuming her body and absorbing the dead before battling Chris and Sheva. Considering how much Wesker knew about the Uroboros virus, it is entirely possible that he was fully aware that her DNA was incompatible with the virus, which meant that completion of the plan would result in her death one way or the other. It is easily within Wesker's character to use her romantic interest in him to further his own goals, even if it meant she would die.
