HazOBEO

Hazobeo (backronymed in their current form as HazOBEO: Hazardous Operational Byproduct Expunction Operations) is a cult that dates back hundreds of years, but recently resurfaced in corporate form in order to expand the reach and potential of their operations. Their professed goal is to enlighten humanity through the means of scientific research and experimentation, often going beyond the bounds of the law and forcibly experimenting on people to push their research forward. They believe they are doing this for the greater good.

Hazobeo is known to have formed a number of individually named projects, some of which overlap. These include their highly successful and ongoing G Corridor project, which involved staging an explosion at Darkvantsen High School in 1930 in order to allow for the secret construction of an underground complex that began as one corridor (G Corridor) and eventually expanded all the way to Darkvantsen College down the road. Other named projects include the Queen of Leaves project to create the Ultimate Human, which ultimately resulted in Celia being chosen as the subject.

Dissolution and modern aliases
After the dissolution of HazOBEO, Inc. in late 2005, following the bad press that came from Charles Cave's aborted bioengineering project reveal, many of the company's former bureaus continued on in secret using other aliases. The most prominent of these include: The fate of other bureas, such as Hazobeo CANCER (C: Advanced Necrotrophic Cancer Experiments and Research) have yet to be determined.
 * Bureau Z became Hazobeo Zabuth (using the initials from Z: Advanced Biological Uses of Technology in Humans).
 * Bureau I became The Iceberg Collective (using the initials from I: Childhood Engineering via Backwards Education and Retroactive Gratification).

Proposed 2010 Reunion
A widely circulated "leaked" image suggested that many of the existing bureaus of Hazobeo reconvened to plan their future on 12/26/2010. No further details of this meeting have surfaced.

Employees
Individuals known to have worked for HazOBEO include Charles Cave (from about 1994-1998) and Tas Raleigh (from about 2011-2013).
