Ultraviolet (2006) Timeline Explained – Every Event in Order

Violet was infected with the Hemaglophagic virus (HGV) while she was pregnant. The virus escaped from a secret laboratory where it was being developed to create enhanced soldiers. When it escaped, it infected civilians, including pregnant Violet, transforming her into a hemophage.

The scientists terminated Violet's pregnancy while she was being held in the holding camp, likely to study the effects of the virus on unborn children and to gain more information about the hemophage condition. This occurred during the 12 years she was held captive for observation.

Six is a ten-year-old boy who is actually a clone created in a laboratory. He possesses the unique ability to wipe out the entire hemophage population, making him a devastating biological weapon. His DNA or biological makeup contains something that could be used to annihilate all hemophages.

Six was created as a clone specifically designed for his role as a weapon, and his lifespan was deliberately limited to only eight hours. This condensed timeframe was built into his genetic construction, creating an urgent deadline for Violet to protect him before he died.

Nerva, Violet's superior in the Hemophage Underground, secretly makes a deal with Vice Cardinal Daxus to exploit Six's unique abilities against the human race. This betrayal is motivated by a desire to use Six as a weapon to eliminate humans rather than protect him, despite the Underground's mission.

Daxus secretly is a hemophage but leads the government crackdown to exterminate his own kind. This revelation comes during Violet's confrontation with him at the Archministry. His motivation appears to be power and survival - by eliminating other hemophages and positioning himself as their destroyer, he maintains his position of authority within the human government.

Foreshadowing: Daxus's intense hatred toward hemophages is established early as he leads the extermination campaign.

After Daxus's team brutally attacks Violet and leaves her for dead, her Hemophagic friend Garth manages to revive her. Garth's medical skills and the hemophages' enhanced regenerative abilities allow him to bring her back from near-death, though Violet emerges deeply depressed until she senses that Six is still alive.

Six survives because Violet's protective tear shields him from death during the battle at the Archministry. When Violet carries Six to the rooftop in the epilogue, he awakens surprised to find himself still alive, having been saved by this tear that acted as a protective barrier against the lethal events unfolding around him.

In the epilogue, Six reveals to Violet that a cure for hemophagia exists. This hopeful revelation suggests that hemophages can potentially be cured of their condition, offering a future where they no longer need to live as hunted beings with shortened lifespans. The specific details of the cure are not explained.

Violet defies her superior Nerva's orders to destroy the case without opening it because she needs to understand what she's dealing with. As a skilled warrior and courier, she recognizes the importance of knowing exactly what kind of weapon she's handling. Her decision to open the case reveals Six and changes the entire direction of the mission.

Violet disguises herself as courier XPD154 to covertly infiltrate the Archministry, the headquarters of the anti-hemophage regime. This identity allows her to move freely within the building and complete her mission to retrieve the mysterious case containing the weapon against hemophages.
