"The Other Side"[]
Since the Genio Innocuo are naturally non-aggressive, Dr. Higgins wanted to instill aggressiveness and assertiveness in her offspring so he would be successful in life. She spliced together Löwen and Genio Innocuo DNA, hoping to create a child who would be both very intelligent and assertive.
When her son, Pierce, was in high school, Dr. Higgins discovered that her unnatural hybridization had a terrible effect: Pierce developed a secondary personality that was murdering his competitors in the academic decathlon (even though they were Pierce's friends) in order to boost his chances of winning. This personality was connected to Pierce's Löwen side and Pierce would have no awareness of his actions while woged as a Löwen, nor would he recall his actions after woging back. Dr. Higgins attempted to protect her son from the police, but he rebelled against her upon discovering what he had done to his friends, and he was only prevented from killing her by the intervention of Nick Burkhardt.
