It was during this process that the company began obtaining samples of various African animal and plant species, intending to sell them to the naturalists within the scientific community. Henry fell into a state of depression and died on the second year of his return, having failed to become a childhood hero like Livingstone.Īt the end of the 19th Century, the firm made its first expansion by using the geological information from Henry's encyclopedia to make significant inroads in Africa's natural resource extraction by mining for precious metals, oil and gas. Based on the tales that survived into the 21st Century, Henry's elder brother who ran the Travis firm was the cause of this disassociation with Henry's work, having intentionally questioned Henry's work in order to make sure that only the company would believe in the existence of the potential wealth that his younger brother described. Unfortunately, upon his return, his Natural History Conspectus was viewed upon by the scientific community as being largely fabricated or prone to literary license and as a result few copies are printed. In his thirty-four years of travels around West Africa, Henry developed an extensive, seventy-two volume encyclopedia on the region by detailing the lives and traditions of its various peoples, the local geology and ecology.
Henry made five expeditions to the continent in all. This would have a dramatic impact on the future of the trading firm. With the firm entering the 19th Century, Thomas' wealthy descendant, Henry Travis inspired by the likes of Sir David Livingstone funded an expedition to the African continent. Tricell's foundation could be traced to Thomas Travis, an 18th Century merchant during the Age of Exploration when he founded a trading company. This practice would eventually prove to be the undoing of the company. Eventually, Umbrella would prove to be too troublesome to the Federation, heavily involved in the business of Bio Organic Weapons. The company was one of the more prominent members of the Federation of Pharmaceutical Companies along with companies such as the Umbrella Corporation. The natural resources cell was known for it's extraction of fossil fuels, operating an extensive oil facility in West Africa. The shipping cell had foundations in the Travis family's business trade with Asia. The pharmaceutical cell was founded after the medicinal herbs were collected from Africa.
The three portions that are making Tricell up are the Pharmauceutical, Natural Resources and Shipping sectors. 2.3 TRICELL Africa and partnership with Wesker.2.2 Post-Raccoon City and the Federation (1998-2005).
