Background
Events
Season 1
In the episode Blind Spot, Kern was captured by the DoD and brought to the team's office for interrogation. While the evidence for the internment is not revealed, once Rachel examines the neonatal vitamins he was dispensing, she finds something disturbing. The vitamins contain active DNA which, when introduced to the developing fetus, could cause birth defects, including (but not guaranteeing) Alpha abilities.
When asked about it, Kern willingly confesses that his intention was to put more Alphas in the world. He was later killed by the mercenary Griffin.
