Alpha Quintesson is the chairman of the Quintesson Co-Prosperity Sphere.

## Official Bio

*The man in the chair at the head of the Quintesson CoProsperity Sphere, very very few outside the ruling council of their con-artist empire have met him face to face, but every action taken by the empire has been guided by his hands. Many on the outside at least believe that the chairman is as cold and uncaring of others as his fellow Quints, but there are some that have observed patterns in his strategies that indicate a strange sense of... mercy? Fairness? Unwillingness to piss off anyone who would pose a threat? There are many theories, but all paint a picture of a pragmatist above all else.*

## History

Alpha Quintesson gained the position of chairman of the board in charge of the Quintesson Co-Prosperity Sphere, which he kept by acting pragmatically in his business.

In Explorers of the Lost Dark Alpha Quintesson met with the rest of the board to hear Belokus report on his failed expedition to a vault belonging to Quintessa Prime on Velocitron in order to obtain a key. However, he was then shocked when another Quintesson came in with a portion of the key, and his congratulations were interrupted by the newcomer suggesting Belokus be removed from his position of Omega Quintesson so he could replace him. When other board members started demanding this action be carried out, Alpha Q yelled that the board wouldn't fire someone and hire someone else on a whim, and that Belokus would be reviewed before getting ejected from the board, only to watch as the prospective Omega Quintesson shot Belokus and be asked what it would take for a promotion, at which point he gave him the spot.

*During Volcano Alpha Quintesson flew to Zamojin to meet with the Zamojin aboard the* Trident*, but as he looked at the planet's moons, he questioned what he felt when he dealt with the Decepticons and Ze Balmary Empire, and why he should possibly feel bad when they gave him money, before deciding to make a money move. What he didn't realize as he met with Zamojin delegates was that the Circle of Light was carrying out Operation Volcano to take care of him, and when Alpha Q felt the impact of a boarding torpedo, he figured that the intruders couldn't be Galactic Council assassins, and ordered his bailiffs to deploy Overcharge drones to rip apart the intruders and bring him their corpses. He then tried to assure the Zamojin everything was being handled despite the drones being taken out, only to watch as the intruders broke through the room's blast doors. Confronted by Adrestia, Headcannon, and Drillbuster, Alpha Q deployed his weapons and told the intruders that for taking out his guards and security, they would die, and when Addy failed to get past his force-screens, Alpha Q struck her with his electrified tentacles and used the screens to block the attacks of Drillbuster and Headcannon as he focused on Addy, asking her if she'd been sent by the Decepticons or Balmarians. After learning that she wasn't, Alpha Q demanded to know what she could want if she was willing to break into his ship during a meeting and wreck his drones, only to be hit with Drak A Dron when Addy swung it through his defenses, and when Addy told him to stop doing business with the groups he just mentioned, Alpha Q agreed and even signed a document to ensure the Quintesson Co-Prosperity Sphere would agree to the deal, though Axe figured that Alpha Q would find a way around the deal after Addy informed Wing of the outcome of the operation.*
