The Development
Originally the virus was meant to isolate and inhibit the specific neuro-chemicals that cause excessive anger and aggression in humans. Developed by Doctor Clive and Doctor Warren of Cambridge University, England.

From here the development changes, with both doctors deciding to test on chimpanzees rather than humans and that the delivery system of the inhibitor should be a contagion rather than pill form and adapt parts of the Ebola virus. It becomes clear within time that the addition of the Ebola strains mutated the inhibitor to do the exact opposite and increases rage and violence. Soon, Doctor Clive commits suicide but not before telling the Animal Freedom Front about animal testing in the labs.
Doctor Warren is in the labs when the intruder alarm is set off and is attacked by the chimpanzee with the, now fully evolved Rage Virus.
