Doctor David Kaydick was a Research Scientist who was wanted by Omni Consumer Products for conducting unauthorized medical research on humans. Pursued by the police, Kaydick escaped to Old Detroit where he established his own private fiefdom based upon technologies under his control. He took multiple slaves, who he used as test subjects in his experiments, and believed himself to be the private ruler of Old Detroit. During his time in hiding, he developed a relationship with Ann R. Key which led to the birth of his daughter Jordan. Kaydick, having no loyalty to his family, would soon use his daughter in his experiments. He implanted Legion into her as an incubator, but Jordan and Ann were able to escape.
