Gentek

Gentek is a biological and genetic research company founded by Dr. Raymond McMullen on November 1, 1976.

Alexander Mercer was hired at Gentek to work on project Blacklight. He quickly found that there was something fishy about the company. People associated with the project were systematically vanishing. In reality, they were getting executed by order from Blackwatch. When Alex realized this, he fled with a vial sample, ultimately releasing the virus when the container was smashed at Penn Station. After that event, the Gentek building was locked down.

Alex would return to the building at a later point in search for Elizabeth Greene, resulting in setting her and her Hunters free to roam the streets of Manhattan.
