HistoryEdit

After McMullen's recruitment, Gentek became the professional face of Blackwatch. Recruiting top biological research scientists into its ranks, Gentek scientists became key researchers of the Redlight virus and later the creators of the Blacklight virus. It is highly secure and has borderline paranoid security measures - one of its employees described the company as a "network of need-to-know silos".^[1]

Most of the company's top secret research was centered around Elizabeth Greene, the only survivor of the Hope, Idaho incident. She was held at the Gentek facility in Manhattan, New York.

Through extensive studies, the scientists discovered she carried 14 different strains of the Virus. McMullen agreed to carry out the research as he was interested to know more about the virus itself.^[2]

Manhattan OutbreakEdit

The employees were kept blind to the use of their research in the field. However one of the scientists, Dr. Alexander J. Mercer, discovered the real source of the virus used for the research and the brutal history behind its existence.^[1][3]

Mercer's attempts to reveal the truth were thwarted by Blackwatch. Assuming him a threat to their work, Blackwatch decided to eliminate him. This resulted in Mercer escaping with a vial of the virus and causing a viral outbreak in New York City.^[1]
