⚠️Steve Burnside in RE6 as Jake Muller?⚠️

// P.S. I’ve been seeing these theories and thought about doing this one is my own preference//

If you don't know who Steve Burnside is, he is a troubled young man who was a prisoner on Rockfort Island as a result of his father being exposed for selling Umbrella’s secrets. After the zombie outbreak, he soon meets Claire Redfield and they struggled together to get out of the island and ultimately ended up in Antarctica where Steve met his fate at the hands of Alexia Ashford and the T-Veronica Virus. Before his death he told Claire that he loved her. (Resident Evil: Code Veronica)
If you go back to game, Albert Wesker appeared after Claire and Chris left him to defeat Alexia. In this cutscene, we didn’t know where Steve’s body went. But all I know is that Albert is the last one to see him. Speculated that Albert took him as his experiment.

Let’s go to Resident Evil 6, 12 years later where Jake Muller was first introduced into the series. Meeting Sherry Birkin, she told Jake he is the key to saving the world, which means that he has antibodies.
Jake Muller is said to be Albert Wesker's son and been a mercenary for 5 years. Surprised, he thought his father abandoned him and his mother (dies because of a disease) but the "thruth" was that he is the "son" of the man trying to destroy the world.
If we relate the two person together is that they both have the virus in their blood, and if you look at the picture and diagram below, they both have the same features. Still not convinced?

According to the user Claire Redfield in Yahoo Answers. In Resident Evil Outbreak, there was a scientist named Greg Muller, who developed a way to induce specific/partial amnesia to people. Wesker went after Alexia to obtain the T-Veronica Virus, (and failed), but he later took Steve's body after discovering Steve had been injected by Alexia, and he still had the last remaining sample inside him. (Wesker took Steve after he died and stated to Claire that it would be more than possible for him to be revived to see her again). There was absolutely no mention of Jake's 'mom' in RE6, either from a cutscene/flashback, except for a file, so we really don't know if Jake looks anything like her, or if he even had a mom to begin with... In a RE6 cutscene, Sherry brings up Leon and Claire, and Jake somehow already knows that Claire is Chris's brother ... Coincidence much? In another cutscene, Chris asks Jake if they've met...Maybe Jake is remembering memories before “Steve” died in Code Veronica
This is where is gets confusing
Questions:
1. I still can’t solve the age or timeline
Steve died in 1981 (17 years old) where in Jake was “born” in 1992. I speculate that when Steve died on 1998, during those years Albert kept him (frozen) and erased his memories until on 2007 (Steve is alive as Jake) where "Jake Muller" is supposed to be 15, he somehow knew about his fake past and believed it, despite that he became a mercenary for five years.
So that means that Steve/Jake is about 29 to 31 years old despite of the years Wesker tried to bring him back alive.
A bit of loop in the timeline right?
In the files in Resident evil 6: Report on Jake Muller (RE6)
Mr. Simmons:
The mission to find the son of Albert Wesker has been completed. I have confirmed that Jake Muller is the biological son of Wesker.
Name: Jake Muller (Age 20) Citizenship: Republic of Edonia Physical Characteristics: Caucasian; 190 cm; blue eyes
Has been in the employ of Edonian mercenaries for five years. Has trained or fought in all parts of Europe, the Middle East, and South America. A DNA sample from Muller proved his relationship to Wesker.
Wesker's alleged immunity to viral infection has manifested itself in Muller. Unfortunately, the DNA sample I attained would not be enough to assist with C-Virus research. A bodily fluid, blood, saliva, or bone marrow sample would be required. It is my recommendation that you dispatch your top agent to secure a tissue sample from Muller.
END

UPDATE
I have confirmed that Jake Muller's mother has died of illness. Details on her are scarce, but we learned that she was born in Edonia and immigrated to America in her early twenties, where she became pregnant with Albert Wesker's child. She then returned to Edonia with Jake without telling Wesker of his birth.
Now here, the things that are more interesting. Simmons said that Jake is the biological son of Wesker, but what if the sample that they got is the relation to the virus that Wesker got a hold of from Steve and injected it to himself to make him stronger, so that they are related.
Appearance:
In Simmons report, Jake and Steve are both Caucasian and both have blue eyes
Muller, these are the last names of Jake’s Mother and the scientist in Resident Evil Outbreak, named Greg Muller. It maybe that Wesker left Steve or Jake to this scientist and let him have his last name so that it can be covered up.
Besides what DNA sample did simmons get to confirm this if didn’t attain the samples said in the file.
