Black Ice

Black Ice is a subsidiary of the Schnee Dust Company formed by Jacques Schnee as a black operations division, headquartered at the Onyx Research Facility. Because of its status as a black operations division, the subsidiary remains out of the public's eye and works in the shadows. The Imperial Security Bureau eventually found out and acquired Black Ice, integrating it as part of one of their sub-branches while wholly remaining a subsidiary to the Schnee Dust Company.

Prior to the ISB's acquisition of Black Ice, the subsidiary launched a project to experiment on Grimm with the intention of making them more friendly. However, after the ISB acquired the subsidiary and discovered the project, they changed its mission and decided to weaponize the Grimm through these experiments. ISB scientist Dr. Merlot was placed in charge of the project.
