I don’t know if the Warden is a person or not but they seem to be in control, both before and after the lockdown. Woods, Dauda, Hackett and Bishop are 4 various people who were inside the Complex when it was locked down, and now they’re used to mop up the Complex, presumably so are the countless other HSU ‘prisoners’. Millions of people are captured and placed in hydrostasis (HSU). Much like in the first Resident Evil movie, the whole underground complex is locked down. Crisis control is implemented however clearly there is no control, slowly but surely people lose their minds, become sleepers eventually. Just like the end of R6B1, the aliens get in, so does the virus. But then, the aliens and their viruses appear. Alpha Two is discovered on the other side of the WMP. Within the meteorite, strange minerals and even alien devices like the Wave_Matter_Projector (I hope you enjoy how I typed that in) are discovered. The Complex is an underground research lab researching an exciting meteorite unearthed. Hope I made this somewhat easy to follow ^^

However it is unclear how the WRDN program was injected into BIOCOM so we don't actually know the possible motives of potential persons/groups responsible. BIOCOM was installed by KDS when they got more access to the facility we explore in game: Garganta. The Warden seems to be a program/protocol that was injected into the program that had control over all the soldiers in the HSUs: BIOCOM.But again we don't have any confirmation. We don't really know the current year although a log in R6 has given us a pretty plausible date when the story might take place.Some more general lore for the bigger picture: Some ppl already posted the link to the wiki and the Lore database below so you can go through the logs yourself if you want. Most of the lore came from terminals just like in R6 and wasn't really told in a chronological order so you might find logs in R6 that explain stuff from back in R4 as mentioned above, or completely new plotlines that were not really mentioned before. KDS Deep is also the main storage facility for other ppl like the player characters and stored a couple thousand HSUs at least. R5 had the main goal of accessing KDS Deep, a restricted area which was previously controlled by KDS (Kovac Defense Services, a security company/mercenary group with great influence).R4 is a bit more vague with its objectives and seemed to be mostly about acquiring different objects and data from various devices (a new log from R6 actually hints at the reason for these tasks but I'm not gonna spoil it here).

R3 had the players processing that same hsu with all kinds of machineries to resuscitate the contents of the hsu, depressurize it, imprint the neonate with neural imprinting protocols and finally insert it into a neural frame, after which the neonate is left behind but apparently now "awake".R2 was all about getting to "the crib" an artificial womb cold storage and extracting a neonate HSU.R1 had the players gaining access to R2 mostly.Overall there are maybe a handful of story relevant expeditions/rooms that were actually explored by the players. In terms of actual story happening in game: We didn't really have elaborate set pieces like in R6B1 in previous Rundowns.
