Major Alfred Lipstitch has a grand plan.

He sees the possibilities in the research program. Military possibilities, and he’ll do whatever it takes to keep the funds flowing. His secret desire is to be admitted into the program to achieve superpowers. He thinks if he can become a different person, he will rise in power and become a political powerhouse.

Lipstitch is a closet megalomaniac who hides his drive to succeed at any cost behind military jargon and catchphrases.

Lipstitch drives an old Porsche with a stick shift, keeps his dark hair tightly groomed, and is self-conscious about the mole on his neck. He thinks of having it removed and worries it when he thinks no one is looking.

We first meet Lipstitch in Book 2 of The Human-Hybrid Project, Inside the Darkness.
