Saddler/Majini

[REmaster]

I was just curious on everyone's thoughts about Saddler and his possible control over majini. I know that majini were infected with type-2 plagas, but since Saddler was host to a powerful plagas parasite, do you think he could have controlled majini's with his staff/powers?

[Enrico Marini]

I'd say no. Simpily that if Saddler could control the type2+ that would mean they would have had a similar control signal/whatever, making the type2 useless as a Bioweapon.
Think about it, if you sold group A the type 2 and group B as well, then both infected would be getting both command sets. I would say that the Type2 onwards would have had different control frequencies or MAC addresses, differing on the samples sold.

I doubt it. Tricell upgraded the parasites, which would discard any old control habits from before. I think Saddler's control would be nullified here.

This seems reasonable.

well the "upgrade" really isnt an upgrade if you think about it :/ all they are is a hatched egg and a matured plagas parasite shoved down the victoms throaht so i'd say yea

Actually there are a lot of differences. They have been modified to be stronger and adaptable when matured within a host. For example, the Kipepeo wasn't possible with the normal Plaga, and the larger centipede-like Cephalo mutations appear stronger than the same centipede-like mutations in RE4.

And they aren't weak to sunlight, unlike Ganados.

[Guest]

They were improved plagas. I doubt saddler could control the majinis.

[REmaster]

I agree with the "could not" theory as well, you guys have pointed out quite a bit of strong evidence. I'm still curious about Saddler himself, where the hell did he come from? How did he find the plagas? Eh, all these questions left unanswered...I would be bothered by it if I actually liked RE4/5's plot alot lol.

[Wesker_101]

Well, since Saddler was the leader of Los Illuminados ( I know you knew that) he shared a connected with the Salazar family in their history once upon a time. I think one of the files says they banished the plagas which got rid of the cult for a while; but Salazar wanted to atone for his family's sins on betraying the cult, so he complies on releasing the plagas after Saddler convinces him to do such. Saddler probably traced the history of the Salazar's to the plagas and went from there. I doubt he was that old. I wonder how he gained mastery control over the plagas? That's odd in itself. I also wonder if he could've reverted back to human form after he changed into that scorpion/spider monster.

No idea where Saddler is actually from. But, I'd be willing to bet he worked as a phone-sex operator before he became the leader of the cult, though.

Wasn't Saddler infected with a control Plagas like Irving and Salazar?

I mean it's highly unlikely, as he retains human form for most of the game (till the end at least). Or maybe the staff he has is a plagas in and of itself.

it does wiggle....

[Wesker_101]

Nah. Saddler had a master/alpha plaga within him, which gave him full mastery over the lesser ones. The plagas that Mendez, Salazar, Irving, and Krauser had were the control versions. I think the staff helps him with that control.

[Humor Tumor]

Okay, that clears it up.

Did anyone ever wonder what would happen if a plagas was infected with the T-virus? Now that would offer some scary possibilities...

[[STARS]TyranT]

The whole Plagas angle added a very strange angle to the world of Resident Evil, before Resident Evil 4 everything we knew about monsters and zombies was man made and crafted in a lab, (though it made sense that the original virus had to come from somewhere and Resident Evil 5 filled that reasonably well enough). What Resident Evil 4 did was imply that there already monsters buryed deep in the surface ready to be discovered, and I've never been sure how I feel about that.

Darkside Chronicles might finally end the speculation of Krauser's arm. I was always under the impression that it was something Wesker gave him, while others believed it plagas. After seeing one of the trailers for DSC it shows

That Krausers left arm is damaged and will find out how that happened.
