Why did Umbrella create the T-Virus?

Umbrella created the T-Virus primarily to develop powerful Bio-Organic Weapons (B.O.W.s), specifically super-soldiers known as Tyrants, to replace conventional armies and generate immense profits, funding the founders' eugenics goals. Derived from the Progenitor virus, the T-Virus was engineered to mutate hosts, granting them immense strength and aggression, but early versions were too lethal; later strains created controllable mutants like zombies and the formidable Tyrants, fulfilling Umbrella's desire for living weapons and a potential global military asset.
