Who did Nikolai work for?

[Veeh Youtube]

Its heavily implied that a competitor for umbrella is the one that hired both Nikolai and Ada Wong.
Who is it?

Probably Tricell

They changed Nikolai's motivation a little in this remake.

In the original game, he was a senior mercenary of Umbrella, who had to pass information about monsters to Umbrella and destroy his squad and all witnesses to the incident.

In this remake, he still has to collect this data, but it looks like he became an Umbrella mercenary for cover and is actually working for someone else.

So far, we don't know who this "someone else" is. But if you consider the post-credits scene that hints at a Code Veronica remake, his actual employer might be Albert Wesker.

Wesker left Umbrella shortly before the events of the first game. Since then, he has only pursued his own personal shadowy goals.

During the events in Raccoon City, he was already working with a rival company to Umbrella and Ada Wong was one of his agents. Perhaps Nikolai is another of his agents.

Jill didn't mind some detective work, so they just left him there.
Some fine police work right there.

He would actually die in an incredibly slow and painful death. Poor ol' Nikolai.

Nah i bet he survives some how to appear in a later game, its similar to the comic book villain who falls in a botomless pit.

Also i read the veronica remake post, to me it sounds like wishfull thinking tbh

Haha, okay.

He works for money. He basically sabotaged the rescue missions to gather "combat data" of these BOWs. And he didn't want Jill to die because she "prints money". Afterwards, he'd probably sell these data to highest bidder.

[Jäveln]

he like chief irons where so much better in the original where he was shady as ♥♥♥♥ but it wasnt until the end it was clear he was bad news

[FruitBat Man]

Nikolai in this remake world isnt important or well liked (hated) to survive

Think in mind that this remake isnt a CANONICAL remake...
That said i think the government of the United states could hire him to eliminate evidente.
Remember that the rail gun/FINGER was developed by the government of the United states .

All you guys must have missed the document before the last encounter where it says nikolai is hired by a competitor of umbrella which wants to buy umbrelas shares at a low price.


Because of that their plan is to maximize PR damage to umbrella by preventing them from destroying or hiding evidence.

Nikolai was hired and was allowed to work for umbrela for longer in order to keep cashing in from them as well as cashing in from the mysterious third party

Wesker betrayed Umbrella after "dying". Getting stabbed by Tyrant was part of his plan.

Nikolai probably works for him.
