The Pickman Project (also known as The Project) is an organization and secret research facility named after its founding scientist, Dr. Pickman. The Project deals with a top secret weapon experiment and is led by Dr. Whyte. Everything looked to be going well until the project suddenly had its government funding cut due to its controversial work methods, which meant that The Project would be shut down indefinitely. The Project designed experiments on people and animals (e.g. monkeys, cats and dogs). The organization also controls a lot of Cottonmouth.

Dr. Pickman decided to do one last experiment in which he needed a guinea pig in order to carry out his work. Daniel Lamb volunteered to become one of the many guinea pigs for his experiments, called the Pickman Bridge. Dr. Whyte put the experiment as "taking a normal individual and implanting a second personality, triggered at will." The chosen personality for Danny was Leo Kasper, an expert assassin and government operative. But the Project took a turn for the worst when the Bridge malfuctioned, allowing the two personalities to interact, and thereby granting Leo some control over Danny..

The Legion and most of the Dixmor Inmates are failed experiments. Judging by the looks of some removed inmates, they were most likely failed Leo experiments.

Atrocities[]

In the official website for Manhunt 2, if one inspects carefully, it's possible to find some secret documents regarding various experiments held by the Project. Clearly showing the Pickman Bridge wasn't the only product made by Pickman and his staff.
