BACKGROUND!
After receiving his PhD overseas in Scotland, Dr. Soren Kessler returned to the U.S. and entered into the corporate sector. He worked on various projects and watched with the rest of the world as the original Overwatch fell.
Years later, he’s approached by what he believed to be the American government with a contract to recreate and better the original super soldier serum after its formula’s destruction during the dismantling of Overwatch. Soren agrees, signs the contract, and quickly gets to work. In order to boost humans’ natural abilities, he begins splicing animal DNA with his own DNA. A year into his contract he administers the formula to himself, through an injection port paid for and installed by his beneficiaries. The serum wasn’t perfect yet. Soren mutates into a hulking amalgamation of human and owl, destroying his lab and his research in the process.
When he finally regains his human mind, he finds himself caged underground in the Red River Laboratories. Under the guise of the United States government, the Conspiracy had duped Soren into signing a trap contract. A small hidden clause stated that on the predicted occurrence of property and research destruction, they practically owned Soren until he paid the debt off and/or finished the serum for them.
After four years, Soren feels no closer to finishing his work and his human body is becoming more and more mutated as the animal DNA corrupts his own. He attempts an escape that is quickly squashed. After being in a cell for several days, Soren is released and presented with a new objective: maintain Subject-013’s physical health.
Given only a basic file, no knowledge of the Chernobog Project, and no defensive training, Soren finds himself in the field with Emre Sarıoğlu. Completely unaware that he was supposed to be killed in the crossfire on his first mission as punishment for trying to escape.
