Founded by Dr. Ivan Quitovia, Alchemex became the top pharmaceutical company with their drug named Interpris. The drug revived dead brain cells using genes from the Turritopsis dohrnii, or Immortal Jellyfish, to cause Transdifferentiation in order to cure a multitude of brain diseases. The drug was pulled off the market once it became known that Alchem-X had performed illegal human testing while developing the drug Ivanquitovia was imprisoned.
His successor, Adam Malkavic, was approached by Trasque with a serum that he had been developing. The serum could cure multiple diseases and could be used to create super soldiers. Trasque persuaded him with a promise of massive military contracts.
