Under its charismatic founder, Dr. Hijo Divino, the Divino Research Group has been a pioneer to some, and controversial to others, in the study and manipulation of the human brain. Most recently working with new and advanced forms of hallucinogenic drugs to stimulate hardwired or otherwise dormant parts of the mind, the team had a breakthrough in helping people born blind in recovering their sight. Some of their uniquely powerful drug cocktails were stolen during transfer some years ago and have since been replicated by drug dealers across the city for more “recreational” purposes, albeit in often poorly prepared and dangerous forms. Operating out of the Atlas Research Center, under the Atlas Corporation, it is unclear what the group’s relationship is with their parent company or with its mysterious CEO, Alexander Galt.
