Chimera (The Legacy of Torchwood One!)
- This entry is about the super-soldier. For the space station, see Space Station Chimera.
The Chimera were genetically engineered humans spliced with alien DNA created by Torchwood One in the early 21st century.
History
In late 2005/early 2006, the Bio-Medical Research Division of Torchwood One discovered alien DNA that would induce a primal fear in those exposed to it. The Institute began kidnapping dead-beats and drug addicts off the streets and trying to splice their DNA with the alien's with the aim of creating a super-soldier for the British Special Forces - "Bringing Terror to the Terrorists."
The experiment failed multiple times, each time causing the death of the test subject. Eventually, one test subject was a success but it soon became uncontrollable and tried to kill its creator, Rupert Howarth.
The creature escaped but kept trying to kill Rupert, leading him to fake his own death to protect his family and friends. Before he left however, he left a program running on his computer that would find the formula to a solution that would stop the Chimera.
