The Red Room

The Red Room was a top-secret Soviet think tank that developed advanced weaponry for the Soviet Union, however It was secretly lead by Perseus. The Red Room was founded in 1947 by KGB Spymaster Janus Kreikart with the task to develop genetically-engineered super-soldiers to hunt down Nazi war criminals. Janus was successful in doing so, and over time, the Red Room became the Soviet's top think tank.

For decades, agents of the Red Room took POWs and brainwashed and genetically engineered them into super-soldiers for Soviet Union and secretly, Cipher. This would result in the creation of the Winter Soldier Program, of genetically mutated prisoners of war. These soldiers became assassins for the Soviet Union. In addition, the Black Widow Program, created at the same time of the Winter Soldier Program. Kidnapped young female Soviet orphans from the streets and trained and brainwashed them to serve in the Black Widow Program. The Black Widows were deployed with methods of mind control. Members of the Red Room's programs and initiatives were neurologically stripped of free will.

The Red Room later developed various Metal Gears and also created various clones of the psychic child Tretij Rebenok, and also created clones of The Man on Fire.

The Red Room had also cloned, brainwashed, and trained an army of elite assassins that were capable of doing absolutely anything. These superhuman clones were the Red Room's most covert unit.

When Janus defected to the United States, Leonid Dreykov assumed his position. Then funding from the Soviet Union was cut, shortly later the Soviet Union disbanded. In 1992, Perseus amassed their control over the entirety of the Red Room's assets and projects instead of hiding behind the Soviet Union.

With Perseus limitless amounts of money, Leonid Dreykov was able to develop the Taskmaster Unit, a unit that was able to analyze and completely mimic their opponents moves. By 2010, the Red Room was able to control every aspect of world affairs.

In 2001, Perseus had commissioned the creation of a DNA Specific Virus that infected people until it infected and killed it's target.

Project Ether
In 2001, two CIA Agents who were from Cipher and Providence, Peter Miles and Tamara Vidal commissioned the creation of a DNA Specific Virus that was able to spread until it infected it's target, and kills the target. It would be employed in covert clandestine operations. Leonid Dreykov opposed the creation of the Ether Virus, fearing It would infect and kill his test subjects. Peter Miles and Tamara Vidal proposed that the virus be developed in an lab owned by the Ether Corporation in Sapienza where Silvio Caruso and Francesca De Santis engineered the virus.
