BACKGROUND: John Malthus DeHaan is the chairman of DeHaan Fabriek, or DHF, a technology company headquartered in the postage stamp European nation of Rodavia, with locations in Paragon City and Oma Tangata, as well as various other countries.

Obsessed with amassing personal power, DeHaan offers no pretense to any other motive, and his lust for individual strength attracts just the sort of people he needs: weak-willed, small-minded, easily manipulated, power-hungry thugs. Whether they wear suits or tactical gear, the executives and executioners of DeHaan Fabiek have only one loyalty: to DeHaan himself. DeHaan maintains the loyalty of his followers by giving them access to a suite of chemical enhancements manufactured by using secret, but nefarious means. It is rumored to be adapted from Crey's Protector Protocol and the Royal Power Force's Auger Program.

Malthus himself is deeply addicted to these chemicals and bears incredible power as a result. He can tap zero-point energy to teleport and create force fields, possesses a disintegrating touch, and regenerates injuries nearly instantly.

M.A.R.S. or Militarized Alien Response Services, is a mysterious agency run by Dale Ashcroft, rumored to have been collecting extraterrestrial species and using their DNA to create genetically-enhanced super soldiers and weapons for the government since the mid-80s.

THE GORZOG, A menacing race of spacefaring warriors and planetary conquerors who had been in conflict with the technologically advanced Vrilkan species. While the Vrilkans were a peaceful society who were adept in the arts and sciences, the Gorzog were brutal and merciless, and sought to conquer the entire galaxy. They invaded countless planets, overpowering the natives of each and eradicating the ones they deemed unworthy to exist. Soon Vrilkos was next...

In a desperate attempt to save their world and preserve their way of life, the royal family of Vrilkos made a deal with the Gorzog. In return for sparing their planet, the Vrilkans built them the Sun Breaker, a galactic weapon capable of causing a planet’s nearby star to rapidly go supernova and vaporize the planet. The Gorzog inevitably betrayed the Vrilkans and used the Sun Breaker on Vrilkos. The planet was destroyed, but their weapon was sabotaged. As the Gorzog seek to repair their greatest weapon, they've recently discovered a new conquest: Earth.
