Chapter 269

**Alpha** (Korean: 알파, RR: *Alpa*) was an SS-rank Guard belonging to the Achates Defense Agency in the Guardverse. The top-ranked Guard in the Defense Agency, he served Achates City loyally for at least 4 years. It is unknown what happened to him after the death of his elder sister, who was his Caregiver, and if he continued to serve in the Defense Agency. At some point, Alpha is presumed to have perished, either before or alongside with the rest of the Guardverse.

## Appearance

Alpha was a tall, handsome young man with black hair, scarlet eyes, and skin slightly darker than that of the average Korean. His appearance and build were distinctly different from Han Yoohyun's.

## Personality

Little is known about Alpha's personality due to his only appearance being while overwritten by Han Yoohyun. Given his nature as an Achates native and a high-rank combat Guard, it can be assumed that he was a loyal, obedient soldier, to the point where one of his handlers was comfortable with taking him to meet with a transcendent.

## History

Alpha was born and raised in Achates City, with Gnosi as his father and other unnamed family members, including at least one elder sister who was his primary caregiver. From ages 5 to 10, he would've attended a municipal education facility with a strict system teaching love and loyalty for Achates; at age 10, he would've undergone physical ability testing, at which point he would've most likely been identified as a potential high-rank Awakener and become affiliated to the Achates Defense Agency.

Alpha was Awakened via baptism at age 22, becoming an SS-rank Guard, and received a protective inscription at some point in the process. For at least 4 years, Alpha served as Achates' SS-rank Guard, obeying the orders of his superiors and handlers. It is unknown what happened after his sister's death and how long he survived past that point. If surviving, he presumably perished along with the rest of the world when it was overtaken by its source.

## Abilities

### Stats

Alpha was a stat SS-rank right from the point of Awakening. Given his elder sister's title of Passable Caregiver is granted to guardians of A-ranks, however, it is possible that Alpha would naturally have Awakened as A-rank but had his abilities artificially boosted, possibly by the filial duty addict involved with Achates.

### Skills

* **Unnamed flame skill (unknown rank)**: Allowed the user to wield flames.
* **Unnamed friction-reducing skill (unknown rank)**: Allowed the user to lessen or nullify friction when interacting with other objects, allowing them to glide over surfaces. This skill was apparently localized to the area around the user's feet, though it's unclear whether it's short-ranged and can be focused around different points on the body, or if it truly is affixed specifically to the user's legs.

## Belongings

* Multiple weapons, including a sword and a rifle

## Relationships

### Alpha's sister

Alpha and his sister presumably had a positive relationship, with his sister being recognized as his Caregiver. Her death caused Alpha great distress, implying that he cared deeply for her.

### Gnosi

Alpha and Gnosi were on opposite sides, with Alpha being a Defense Agency-affiliated Guard and his father being a rebel. With Gnosi having started the failed uprising (implied to be when Alpha was 10 and taken by the Defense Agency), he was presumably barred from taking care of Alpha when he was a child, to the point where Alpha's sister was instead his primary caregiver. This suggests Alpha's feelings towards Gnosi were cool at best, if not outright negative.
