Biography
47 was a genetically engineered human being who was a clone created from the culmination of decades of research in genetic augmentation. A cabal of five criminal masterminds funded his creation where they each donated their own DNA for the project with his five genetic fathers being Pablo Ochoa, Ort Meyer, Lee Hong, Frantz Fuchs and Arkadij Jegorov. In the 1950's, Ort-Meyer created a mental institution in Romania as a cover for the genetic experiments whilst his comrades became crime lords and terrorists. In exchange for research funding, Ort-Meyer provided his former compatriots with donor organs that was harvested from clone bodies thus extending their lives. The goal of the expeirment was to create the 'perfect assassins' that were physically fit and capable of following orders with devotion as well as unquestionable loyalty. At some point, Dr. Ort-Meyer tried to make his discoveries public but was discredited as a scientist with many of his peers labelling him insane for his radical theories.
