Between 1991 and 1995, the Aesir Corporation were contracted by the U.S. government to create a pharmaceutical agent which would enhance the combat abilities of soldiers during the Gulf War. This classified project was funded by the U.S. government and was was called Project Valhalla and the drug produced was named Valkyr. The project was spearheaded by the Inner Circle, with the chairwoman of Aesir Corporation also being a member of the Inner Circle. As a result, the Inner Circle members were fully ware of the classified project.
Despite the drug's remarkable success at boosting the pain tolerance and abilities of its users, it also induced several mental illnesses in its users.

Due to these problems, the funding for the project was shut down and was deemed a failure. However, Nicole Horne secretly took over the project and began producing Valkyr was a highly addictive recreational drug which she peddled into the black market through various criminal gangs and mafia families.
