Biography[]
Janice Walton was a member of a small government research group that attempted to develop a process of invisibility in organic matter. The project lead on the program was an egomaniac genius named Sebastian Caine. Caine lied to his support staff and told them that their government sponsors had allowed them to enter Phase Four of the project, which involved human trials. Caine himself volunteered to test the invisibility process after they experienced meager success with animals. The scientists succeeded in rendering Caine invisible but could not complete the reversion process. Sebastian Caine went insane after this, and systematically murdered all of his colleagues. Janice Walton was attempting to flee the laboratory, but Caine intercepted her at the exit door. Using a piece of tubing, he strangled her to death.
