During the 1970's a group of people became dedicated to saving the world brought together by Adam Munroe , they founded the company an organisation aiming to find all evolved humans, they also they believed that the Explosion was supossed to bring a change, but in the course of time some of the members eventually lost thier way and group spilt, all members of these elite group of twelve are hinted to possesing special abilities. Now there are only three members left alive and one of them currently runs the company.

Death threats

Many of the other founders are dead while Some have been murdered by Adam Monroe, while the causes of the others deaths are yet to be revealed there are only three members alive out of twelve. Though what is known that Monroe has been murdering the remaining founders in an act of revenge for his thirty-year imprisonment, Kaito is suggested to the first victim.

When Kaito and Angela received a death threat photo, they take it very seriously. The death threat photo consist of a picture of a founder, ripped from the large group photo of all the founders with a Helix which is written in blood across the founders face in the photo, they knew that the photo was possibly from another founder and that their lives were on the line.

Known death threats have been issued to Angela, Kaito, and Bob. His attempt on Kaito's life was successful, while Maury Parkman was just used as Monroe's "tool", though he failed to kill the other two only causing self inflicted wounds and angle and was then incapacitated by Matt before he could kill Bob . It has not been revealed if any of the other deceased founders have received death threats but their is a vey high chance they have as Kaito when he was alive mentions that there were nine left alive while Charles,Daniel and Arthur are dead.

Though Victoria did not receive a death threat while she was alive. it was rather left on her body after she was murdered by Monroe who left a death threat photo revealing that the the helix drawn in the middle of the threat is created by blood, She was the last victim of Adam.
