Professor Jack Norman founded several radical and armed sects. In 2004, he was the head of the bioterrorist group Il Veltro. Believing that the Earth had become decadent and sinful, Norman devised a plan to use numerous [[Bio Organic Weapon|B.O.W.s]] to create terror to make the people realize their sins and corruption. The group, and Norman himself, were secretly financed by [[Federal Bioterrorism Commission|FBC]] head [[Morgan Lansdale]].

Seeing this, Norman recorded one final message in his PDA, declaring that Lansdale would never obtain the recordings before he injected himself with the t-Abyss Virus.

"We rise from the dead, our spirit a callous and immutable force."

Dr. Jack Norman was a university lecturer and founder of the organisation, Il Veltro. Calm and intelligent rather than boastful,[1][excerpt 1] Dr. Norman projected an air of charisma which gave many people sympathy for his movement despite its increasingly aggressive acts, which ended in the Terragrigia Panic.

Biography

Jack Norman established Il Veltro as an armed cult of charisma.[2][excerpt 2] Believing that the Earth had become decadent and sinful, Norman devised a plan to use numerous B.O.W.s to create terror to make the people realize their sins and corruption. The group and Norman himself were secretly financed by FBC head Morgan Lansdale.

Though Norman believed Lansdale shared the ideals of Veltro, he suspected Lansdale was merely using the group as a pawn to solidify his position of power within the government further, and he kept video logs of all of their interactions on his PDA in the event Morgan would double-cross them.

After the destruction of Terragrigia, Norman's fear came true, and his group were betrayed by Lansdale and were trapped on the sinking of Queen Dido. Surviving in an unflooded area of the now biohazardous ship, Norman and the last surviving members of Il Veltro counted down the days of their containment in blood on a wall.
