Description
He is first seen rising from the ground, opening the way to Harbortown Station. He is then latter seen recruiting Archangels that you have defeated, becoming more and more interested in you before leaving. After defeating 4 Archangels, he shows up in the middle of Harbor Town to introduce himself and requests the player to stop interfering with his recruitment, using his powers to teleport them to a dead world to get rid of them.
When the player character returns thanks to Ms. Amber and eventually finds a way to Night's Bridge Station, Aleph follows them before revealing his new "team" and the true nature of Archangels, before revealing that his goal is to leave New Wirral and spread misery across reality.

Name origin
"Aleph" (א) is the 1st letter of the Hebrew alphabet.[1]
Alpeh's former names: Arthur, Alexander, and Agamemnon are based on legendary or historical kings associated with conquest whose names begin with the letter A: King Arthur, Alexander the Great, and Agamemnon.[2]
Other

- His "Death by a 1000/10,000 Cuts" animation uses the Fusion Power swords when attacking.
- When meeting with the player and their partner in Harbourtown, in response to the player and partner asking Aleph who they are Aleph tells them "YOU CAN CALL ME AL.". This is likely a reference to the Paul Simon song "You Can Call Me Al".
