Having trapped Bloodshot during a mission in Afghanistan, Dr. Kuretich downloaded all the info Bloodshot contained in his mind and showed him that PRS had implanted fake memories in his brain to motivate him to do their bidding. Now the scientist is aiding Bloodshot to gain his revenge on Project Rising Spirit and discover his true identity. But it transpires Dr. Kuretich had ulterior motives for leading Bloodshot to The Nursery - he is secretly working for Toyo Harada who wanted Bloodshot to free the imprisoned young psiots at PRS.
