Alecto

**Alecto** is the one of the three Furies. She is the sister of Megaera and Tisiphone, she does not initially appear in the game, as both she and Tisiphone are busy with matters in the mortal world. Alecto is responsible for punishing those who allow their passions to drive them to terrible acts.

She along with Tisiphone were prohibited to enter the House of Hades.

After Megaera has been defeated a certain amount of times, Alecto and Tisiphone will begin appearing, randomly replacing her at the end of Tartarus. Alecto does not appear in the House of Hades after she has been defeated.

## Characteristics and Personality

Alecto is the deadliest of the Furies and loves the chance to make Zagreus bleed, often dubbing him "Red Blood" due to the vivid color. She acts on impulsive passions and always torments those who do not give in to their own passions. She is anxious about the possibility of repeatedly killing a god, as she has always wanted to play with one.

She loves to fight and believes she is the ace of the Furies. Alecto is extremely open about her emotions, in contrast to Megaera. She fights trespassers around the clock like her sister, but unlike Meg, Alecto is sadistic by nature, insane, violent, and sees her work more as a sport, always sporting a Hellish grin.

Alecto is fierce and quite provocative, but she cannot resist being provoked by others, often falling into her own traps.

Despite her temper and preference for working alone, she has shown some degree of protectiveness towards Tisiphone.

## Physical description

Alecto is a fierce and imposing figure with a muscular physique. She has a single wing protruding from her back, which appears green from certain angles. Her sharp smile and pale skin contrast with her spiked bronze hair cascading down her back. Her piercing red eyes, prominent cheekbones, and strong jawline give her a menacing appearance. Like her sisters, she wears a matching red outfit adorned with spikes and silver details. Her forearms are wrapped in bandages, and she wields a large whip-like green weapon. Alecto exudes an aura of intense fury and wrath, perfect for her role as one of the enforcers of punishment.

## History

### Before Hades

Alecto, born from the blood of a Titan, was the last of the Furies to emerge from Tartarus. She was created with the purpose of punishing transgressors, thieves, and primarily those who give in to passions during their mortal lives.

Later, she was contracted to work in the House of Hades alongside her sisters, Megaera and Tisiphone. She and Tisiphone would eventually be banned from entering the House due to their indiscipline, carrying out their work from the outside of the House of Hades.

### Hades

After Megaera has been defeated multiple times, Hades will summon both Alecto and Tisiphone to deal with Zagreus.

### Epilogue

Alecto will continue to oppose Zagreus at the end of Tartarus.

## Affinity

Alecto cannot be given Nectar or Ambrosia.

## Codex entry

'*...Each of the ancient Fury Sisters is preoccupied eternally with tormenting a certain swath of moral crime, and Alecto enjoys the broadest swath of all: those who, during their mortal days, committed wrongful acts at the behest of their impulsive passions. With that being the case, I see it somewhat as a miracle that I myself avoided her barbed whip here in the Underworld; and I am thankful for it, for Alecto's reputation paints her as a being best given the widest possible berth. That she appears to be on questionable terms with her own sisters, and is not permitted in the House of Hades due to profane acts of insubordination long past, perhaps is all that needs be said of her for now.*'

## Trivia

* Unlike Megaera, whenever Alecto is defeated, she is not taken by the Styx but instead scatters into a flurry of red bats. This reflects how she is not allowed in the House of Hades.
* She is the youngest of the three Furies.
* Whatever happened to get her barred from the House of Hades. In the Codex entry, Achilles only refers to 'profane acts of insubordination'.
* She is the only Fury sister who does not find out that Zagreus is officially employed by Hades post-game and continues to treat him like a criminal who is trying to escape. It's possible she knows and just doesn't care.
