11. X was a giant conglomerate which operated ruthlessly as a
major international player in a number of markets; including
pharmaceuticals and medical equipment along with top-
secret operations utilizing genetic engineering and biological
weaponry. The company also had a more benevolent public
face for the ignorant masses, producing cosmetics, consumer
products and foods.
X was founded in 1968 by Lord Oswell E. Spencer; Sir
Edward Ashford and Dr. James Marcus after the discovery of
the Progenitor virus the previous year. Another starting
member, though not considered a co-founder, was Marcus'
student Brandon Bailey, who was with Marcus and Spencer
when they first discovered the Stairway of the Sun flower.

24. The Wikipedia article for famous personality X says that he was born
august 7 or 8, 1966.
When X was quizzed as to what his actual birth date was, he said “I was
born on August 7th, 1966, at around 11:30PM... according to my
mother, who should know. But somehow, when the doctor prepared my
birth certificate, he put August 8th, 1966. Even though my parents
signed it, they didn't notice it. We only found out when I was 15 and
went on my birthday (the 7th!) to get my driving permit. You can
imagine my disappointment when I was sent home.
Hence, all X’s legal documents list his date of birth as 8th august.
Wikipedia's policies for inclusion of information focuses on verifiability,
not truth. Passports, birth certificates, etc. fall into the first category,
even if they are not correct. Hence the listing on X’s page.
ID the famous business personality X.
