## Role in Plot

### Unwanted Guests Arc

Alaric arrives at Ryan and Gordon's Shed with his fellow mountain engines, he refuses to get on top of the pyramid formed by his companions as it's more than three inches off the ground and thus too high up for him. The engines proceed to wreak havoc in the shed until they calm down and explain their backstory, Ryan allows them to stay as long as they behave, the engines then continue to wreak havoc across the building, leaving Ryan and Gordon to think of a way to get rid of them, Alaric overhears this and decides he should do something about them instead.

One day, Alaric meets with Eric upstairs for a secret meeting, where he admits that he is manipulating Eric because he is the youngest and most naive. Alaric explains his evil plan and Eric points out that a mini truck is listening, but Alaric lets it go and they leave the room. Later, Ryan offers to take Alaric and Eric to the store with him, but Alaric says they have important business to attend to. However, their important business is in a warehouse right next to the store and Duck notices Alaric enter it. Duck follows Alaric into a trap where Alaric pulls a knife out on him and says his friends were fools to make their mistake and had already dug their graves. Duck smugly insults Alaric's intelligence and powers up, declaring that if anyone is going to kill Gordon and Ryan, its going to be him. Duck blasts with Radiant Entrapment, which sends the mountain engine through the back wall of the warehouse screaming in pain. After the explosion, Alaric lays on his side near a cliff in a pool of his own blood. Duck slowly approaches and promises Alaric's friends a swift death. Before he can say anything, Duck shoves him off the cliff.

Later, Alaric returns to Ryan and Gordon's Shed just in time with cuts and blood all over his face, Everyone is shocked and asks what happened. Eric thinks this can prove that Duck is evil, but the latter only laughs, as Alaric has amnesia. Not long after this, Alaric leaves with the other Culdee Fell engines, chasing a truck full of lettuce through a door at the back of the shed.

## Personality

Alaric acts very formal, calling his associates "dear" and seems to come off as very respectful. Despite this, Alaric is actually completely insane, taking pleasure in bringing harm to others and has an intense love for violence, he also appears to be rather cunning, coming up with a plan to eliminate his hosts after hearing they plan to get rid of him and his companions.

He appears to be rather confident in his plans, believing it to be impossible for them to fail. This cost him dearly, as he discussed his plans with Eric right in front of a mini truck, believing it not to be threat, without stopping to think that he would tell anyone about his plan, which it did. His recklessness was also further shown when he had Duck backed into a corner, he decided to perform a dramatic monologue and taunt him as opposed to killing him the second he had the chance.

His arrogance led to his downfall when he tried to confront Duck, not realizing that Duck had his own, far more sinister intentions. Despite the calm and collected act he puts on in front of his fellow mountain engines, Alaric is not completely fearless, as seen when he began to panic and sweat profusely when Duck revealed his true goal to him.
