Yes, but he doesn't have to be the central villain in a particular game in order to be in it. RE4 is proof of that 🙂, as is Darkside Chronicles to some extent.

Wesker's a nice exception then, and being a theatre villain at times doesn't make him any less developed than the protagonists you mentioned, thanks to some of his other traits.

True. Imma agree to that much.
