Much time has passed since Caleb's discovery of the immunity present in Mutant Hounds. His subsequent experiments on himself resulted in the first Fusion of a Mutant Ape and Mutant Hound, and served as a monstrous warning to the Apes of Serum City.
In exile he continued to develop a cure, and vowed to prevent anyone from undergoing the same fate as his own. Fusion is his curse to bear.
Having exhausted avenues to combat Serum Sickness and its spreading rot, Blaksoot seeks out his former friend and convinces him to refine the Fusion as a cure to combat the contagion.
Biochemical Augmentation is a last resort for those too far pronounced in the stages of Serum Sickness. Hounds participate willingly to save their Mutants from a gruesome fate.

This libertine was born on the side of the coin that royalty had its back to, known to frequent the many watering holes of Serum City and share the stalls with its bruisers and barflies. His roots are anything but royal, armed with an extensive armoury of language and overly flamboyant clothing, he has crafted a convincing veneer of regality that grants him an audience in every room, although he tends to prefer those with a fully stocked bar. Whether it’s permanent inebriation or his poetic leanings, everything he delivers is wrapped in allegory and conceits that require footnotes to fully grasp.
Information flows freely in the drinking dens he frequents, and that's the currency he uses to manipulate the Cartel's operations, carving out a kingdom in the gutter. He knows its alleyways better than the rats themselves, and very little moves in this place without The Duke pulling a string, lighting a fire, or whispering in an ear. Though he may be the loudest peacock on the cobbles, the moves he makes to sow others fates are never seen.
