The Direct Biological Restoration Corporation (commonly abbreviated to "DBR") was a firm with combined interests in both the research and manufacture of pharmaceuticals, medical hardware, and general biotechnology, and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Goldcorp. It was responsible for the creation of the zombies, as part of a government contract - these were perverted by one of their head researchers, Dr. Curien, resulting in the notorious Curien Mansion Incident. While DBR collapsed in the aftermath of the Incident, it left a grim legacy in the zombies which continue to plague the world to this day.
