Biography
Time with Muirfield
In 2001, she along with other Muirfield doctors carried out an illegal genetic modification experiment on a small group of army recruits (one of whom was Vincent Keller). Their objective was to transform the test subjects into super soldiers using Cross Species DNA, which they did.
However, soon after the supersoldiers started to experience blackouts and aggression. Vanessa tried to make a serum to help them, but before she could complete it the soldiers had gotten so much out of control Muirfield had them all killed except Vincent, who managed to save her from the Colonel who tried to kill her and somehow got out of there together.
Sometime during her time with Muirfild she smuggeled out a boy named Gabriel Lowen that had been experimented on.
