"In 1887, the British Empire contracted brilliant American professor Lawrence Ambrose to create a mutant gene - and turn an ordinary man into an aggressive fighting machine. But all too quickly, Ambrose was found to be behind a string of vicious murders, and in a cover-up of massive proportions, Queen Victoria gave an order to have the project, and Ambrose, terminate. This the legend of Jack the Ripper was born... Now it's up to the Event Group to lay the legend to rest - and put an end to one of the world's most violent enemies." -- Back cover
