Ingame Bio

Aleph once lead a troupe of Archangels across the connected cosmos. There, he commanded great battles, becoming a part of many common legends known to this very day. His portal head allows him to send anyone and anything anywhere he wants - except himself.

The incarnation of conquest, Aleph was born from mankind's warlike nature and desire to conquer. He once lead a troupe of Archangels, including Morgante, Ms. Amber, Mordread, and more, which he called his "round table". Of that alliance, only he and Morgante now remain on New Wirral.

Description

He is first seen rising from the ground, opening the way to Harbourtown 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 Harbourtown 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. You fight Aleph to stop him, but after losing the first time, he has his team go back on the train to escape, causing your own team to follow and stop him. Aleph, intrigued by your ability to use "fusion", performs the same trick with his team, becoming something more...

Trivia

Name Origin

"Aleph" (א‎) is the 1st letter of the Hebrew alphabet.

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: Arthur, Alexander the Great, and Agamemnon.

Other

• Before his name was revealed, he was referred to as "The Triangle Man" on the voice actor role call.
• 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".
