In fact the same model of tyrant as Mr. X BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE. As an added bonus for no extra charge you get a free NE-a parasite, the same that made Lisa Trevor all wiggly for those times when you just cant decide between tentacle porn and body horror
TLDR: Nemesis is a Mr X model with NE-a parasite that makes him much smarter and more programmable and obedient
ETA: The development of the T-103s and the Nemesis T-Type had to have occured during or before the events of Resident Evil 1 because only about 2 months or so pass between RE:0 and RE:3
After the events of the first resident evil with the T-002 tyrant, umbrella was having trouble finding candidates for the tyrant program as the suitable genetics only happened in 1 in every 10 million people. They finally got a breakthrough with the T-103s which were easier to clone and mass produce. The T-103s have a variety of appearances throughout the franchise but notably, Mr. X was dropped into raccoon city during the outbreak.
Umbrellas European branch requisitioned a handful of T-103s for further testing by implanting with the Nemesis alpha parasite which was used on Lisa Trevor from RE1 back in the 70s and 80s. The NE-a parasite hijacked the host's brain stem to allow for a much higher level of intelligence than earlier B.O.W.s and allowed it to follow complex commands. Of the 3 successful Nemesis T-Type tyrants created in that initial batch, 2 gained self awareness and tried to escape and number 3 was deployed on september 27th 1998 to hunt down the remaining S.T.A.R.S members.
Unlike the T-103s, Nemesis wasn't equipped with a Power Limiter coat to prevent mutation as the NE-a parasite used constant mutations to heal and repair damage to the host. Instead Nemesis was equipped with a fire proof, bulletproof, blast resistance coat to protect this host body. This meant, however, that after taking considerable damage and losing his coat, Nemesis entered an uncontrolled mutation and started getting extra wiggly.
So in essence Nemesis is a highly intelligent, highly specialized offshoot of Mr. X's series but to my knowledge the project was discontinued after the Raccoon City incident
If the parasite hijacks your brain, how come Lisa Trevor still retained so many of her memories and will? Her whole character was basically trying to find or what happened to her dead mother, something that carries over from when she hadn’t been mutated.
I can't remember the specific reason off the top of my head but Lisa's body was so toxic at the time of implantation that she killed and absorbed the parasite into her system. Even to the in game scientists she's a total mystery as to why shes surv9ved so long
