DBR Corporation

The DBR Corporation is a prominent aspect of the House of the Dead series.

History
The DBR Corporation was originally a project founded by a group of scientists in the mid 1970's. The lead scientist, Daniel Reddick, hoped to extend the vitality of human life forms. The project focused on the areas of pharmecuticals, medical hardware, and biotechnology. The entire project was greatly funded by its financial officer Caleb Goldman. By 1990, the project was successful. However, Reddick perished from an unknown cause. Goldman took over the project and created the DBR Corporation.

Under Goldman's leadership, Reddick's project served a new purpose. Instead of helping humans, Goldman intended for humans to be reverted to older stages of evolution. Goldman hired several scientists. Among them was Dr. Roy Curien. Curien was seeking a cure for his terminally ill son Daniel. In 1998, Curien finally succeeded by finding the cure for death. However, he was driven insane by his own expirements. After rejuvinating his son Daniel, Curien reanimated corpses into mindless zombies. They attacked the DBR's other scientists who were working with Curien at his estate. One of the scientists, Sophia Richards, sent a distress signal to her fiancee Thomas Rogan. He and his partner, G, arrived at Curien's estate. They killed the zombies and rescued the scientists. After confronting Curien in his lab, his newest creation was brought to life. It killed its master before fighting Thomas and G. They defeated it and left the estate with Sophia.

A month later, Goldman visited the abandoned estate and rocevered Curien's research. He spent two years using the research to create new monsters inside the DBR Coporation's headquarters. In 2000, Goldman unleased the zombies and sent them to attack Venice, Italy. Thomas Rogan and his new partner, James Taylor, eliminated the threat before visiting the headquarters of the DBR Corporation. Before entering the building, Thomas an James were confronted by the Magician who was revived and became more powerful.
