Osmund’s reference is the character from the Resident Evil Game series Los Iluminados (Spanish, meaning "The Enlightened") is a neopagan religion that emerged in a mountainous region of Spain around the Millennium, known for its worship of Plagas, a genus of parasitic arthropod. Los Iluminados sees itself as the continuation of an ancient primal religion native to the region, though there is no actual evidence of such a link. The group shares its name with an illegal paramilitary made up of its cult followers. This paramilitary was severely crippled in 2004 during an American-led counter-terror operation, though the religion survived. Los Iluminados' true origins lie in the 1990s with Osmund Saddler, who became aware of the Plagas through unknown means. Taking the guise of the Prophet, Saddler developed Los Iluminados as a religion to ensure the loyalty of converts who could then be implanted with the Plaga parasites. Among the early converts was Ramon Salazar, a descendant of the crusader lord, who was made to atone for the perceived sins of his ancestors so he would re-open the caverns. Eventually, Saddler was successful in occupying Salazar Castle and using said castle as a base for his cult. Osmund Saddler, often referred to as Lord Saddler, was the leader of Los Iluminados, a neopagan cult and paramilitary organization. He was a bio-weapons research chief who resided in an isolated Spanish region. In the early 2000s, Saddler's leadership ensured the cult’s dominance in the region through the weaponization of the mind-controlling Plaga parasites to suit his plans for world domination. He was killed in 2004 during a US.STRATCOM mission to rescue Ashley Graham, the President's daughter whom Saddler's organization had taken hostage.
