The now defunct conglomerate, A.N.G.E.L., has a thousands of years old legacy behind it, originating as far back as the early ancient Greek days. During the final years of the War of Fates, one man who rose to senatorial power in the council of Greece ordered a seizure of the libraries for special information pertaining to human anatomy, supernatural beings' abilities and aether wells. While other empires were destroying the books and scrolls that held this valuable information, this man kept his libraries' knowledge to himself, claiming to his people that they were destroyed along with the Ancients and other members of the Staff of Revelation his armies had captured as hostages. He was only known to the populace as J, and he was held in high regards by his loyal subjects, so much so that they were willing to even work for him in a new type of employment one could only deem shady.
Using the knowledge he gained from the research done by the Staff of Revelation, among the other works he held in his possession, J started his own sick experiments slowly. He and several scientists he recruited from all over the Greece area put his captives through several torturous experiments, all just to see how each individual being ticked. They collected samples of all kinds, ranging from blood and waste samples to even semen samples. Interbreeding programs were started in order to produce generations of experimental slaves, and in the meantime more beings were kidnapped from the comforts of common life so they could be subject to Senator J's inhumane methods. His means of capturing the beings in a justifiable manner came as followed:
"They are different from you. They are a threat to your existence. Would you want these beings around your children? Your wives? Would you want your life thrown away at the snap of their fingers? Bring them to me. I will keep you safe, and deal with them."
The public gave Senator J their unconditional support, and soon after funding for his research came into his grasp. The funding was used to found a secret research base: Atlantis. Similar to the lost civilization now lost to the sea, this Atlantis' sole purpose was to perform research on supernatural beings and captive Ancients, all while furthering Senator J's own goals. To see how the beings ticked, Atlantis moved their sights to something else, which aligned with J's ultimate ambition--immortality and world domination. Atlantis researched in secret and the facility grew, both physically and financially. The facility even changed with the times, staying true to every shift in the historical timeline and global paradigm to suit the needs of the science and of J, all while continually to grow downward. Yes, downward. An undersea military and research facility was the product of all of this funding and genetic meddling, and after the collapse of several societies J seamlessly settled into, he made off with a large cut of money and poured it straight into his desires to raise an unstoppable army.
By the time the United Nations gave rise and the world set the stage for modern-day events to transpire, J's calculating mind took advantage of the opportunity as straight away as he could. With a few favors done behind the scenes for different nations with differing views and governing philosophies, he received indefinite funding and support from the United Nations and was given international permission to establish his base expansions hundreds of miles off the coast of New England of the United States, as well as establish land-based branches across the globe. Creating thousands of science-centered jobs, J singlehandedly saved the global scientific community from a most certain annihilation by big business owners, big name bankers and powerful politicians trying to quell the thirst for knowledge. The age-old facility's name Atlantis was changed to Angel Corp.
He waited for the right time and war to use his rapidly growing army of genetically enhanced supersoldiers. Even the pivotal World War II and Korean War were not ideal testing grounds for his superior military. Vietnam came and went. The conflicts in the Middle East were exactly that, just conflict. Kuwait lasted for seven days, barely anything for J to put his soldiers to good use. It wasn't until the War of 1999 that the officially dubbed Administrator J deployed his first wave of supersoldiers along the east coast of the United States. The armies went in, fought with clean and cold efficiency, and returned to base with barely a dent in their numbers. Pleased with his results after the one-year war was over, Administrator J continued down his path with one more milestone in his reach: become a God. As a result, Angel Corp simply became A.N.G.E.L., or the Artificial Neo Genetic Entity Liaison for short.
The next thirty years would provide wild successes in his endeavors, and literally overnight, A.N.G.E.L. became one of the highest invested companies in the entire world. Their name was on everything both military and medical, and even expanded into day to day products like cars and healthcare. A.N.G.E.L. was even responsible, by and large, for rebuilding the Federal Government after its collapse in 2000 from the Y2K Bug. Administrator J met a young business upstart named Neil Adalbert, a man who graduated from UMass New Haven with a Master's in Business Management. The young man started a pharmaceutical company while he was still in high school, named VS Pharmaceutical, and when the two met it was as if Fate intended it to be. A.N.G.E.L. soon partnered with VS Pharmaceutical in its continued journey to create the perfect supersoldiers, using New Haven, Massachusetts as a testing grounds for an impending and calculated war. VS Pharma took care of selling genetically altering over-the-counter medicines while A.N.G.E.L. further trained and grew its militaries for a full-scale assault on the city and its civilians, all while kidnapping as many supernatural beings as possible for their collections of genes. Administrator J had all the cards he needed right in his hand, and he was free to play them at any time.
His arrogance would be his undoing, however, as Operation: Fractured Ascendancy turned the city of New Haven against him and Neil, and quickly brought a bloody war to their separate turfs. Just as A.N.G.E.L. saw literal overnight success over three decades ago, the war brought overnight collapse to the conglomerate. When news hit that A.N.G.E.L. was no more, and their military was defeated, and research destroyed, every investor pulled their money out of the company before the collapse was finalized and done. No one wanted to support a nosediving business. The Federal Government faced a second massive collapse, instantly disintegrating and losing its chokehold on the United States. Anarchy reigned across every state, the economy crumbled into dust, and multibillionaires committed suicide, much like the First Great Depression in 1922. The only difference between 1922 and 203X was knowledge. The knowledge that entities could be rebuilt.
A.N.G.E.L. was over. But The Fallen rose from its ashes.
Some legends just refuse to die.
