History
The Kimera were supposedly an ancient race of researchers and spiritualists. Long before the Atavus, Taelon or Jaridian species evolved, the Kimera traveled space. At some point millions of years ago, the Kimera somehow interfered with and altered the Taelons/Atavus. After an unspecified amount of time, the Taelons/Atavus turned on the Kimera and exterminated most of the species, leaving only Ha'Gel in stasis.
Many of the Kimera voluntarily 'ascended to the next plane', vaguely alluding to transcending to a purely spiritual plane, believing the physical world to be of limited value and interest compared with the worlds of the mind and soul.
Before meeting his end on Earth, Ha'Gel succeeded in producing an offspring, who went by the name Liam Kincaid. Liam, a human/Kimera hybrid, initially struggled with his Kimera side, though with occasional input from his Kimera parent on a spirit plane, and the fact that as time went on, he became more and more human, he overcame many of these difficulties. Liam was highly important in uncovering the hidden truths of the Taelons and worked with the underground resistance, forming a bridge between those two worlds.
