Alrick Timmens

**Alrick Timmens** was a human who was engaged to Amelia Hughes prior to his death. He and Amelia attended the same engineering school in the United Kingdom. His sudden death caused Amelia much grief and led to her boarding the Infinity Train, taking over the train when One-One refused to make a car about him, trying for over 30 years to recreate him and the life she wanted to leave. Alrick's life inspired the creation of the Unfinished Car, the Turtle Emperor of said car, and a six year old girl named Hazel.

## History

In his school years, Alrick befriended a girl named Amelia Hughes. In his college years he majored in programming.

As he and Amelia grew, they became romantically involved and eventually Amelia proposed to him. However, he died in an accident, leaving his fiancée grief stricken.

His passing affected Amelia so profoundly that the Infinity Train picked her up in order to help her overcome his disappearance. However, after realizing the awesome power that the train possessed, namely its ability to create entire worlds, Amelia removed the train's conductor, One-One, and took his place as the new conductor for her own intentions. Over the course of decades Amelia tried bringing Alrick back to life, appropriating the train's technology for that purpose, the results of which were all failures.

### *Book One - The Perennial Child*

#### "The Unfinished Car"

Alrick is first alluded to unknowingly and indirectly in this episode, as the Unfinished Car's landscape is littered with objects based off of his life.

#### "The Past Car"

Alrick is first seen in Amelia's memory tape. Key moments from his childhood and young adult life are shown, most notably how Amelia became his closest friend during their shared school years and how the two eventually fell in love in their adult years. The memory tape also revealed that Amelia's robotic conductor persona was inspired off of Alrick's "robot costume", complete with the trademark hooded robe and the synthetic voice. Due to this, Tulip originally and mistakenly believed that Amelia was the one who died and Alrick took over as the conductor.

#### "The Engine"

He is mentioned several times during this episode by Amelia after Tulip discovers that she, while masquerading as the conductor, has been trying to create a train car where Alrick is still alive. The full impact that Alrick's death had on Amelia is shown in this episode and also reveals that the previously Unfinished Car was a previous attempt at recreating Alrick.

### *Book Three - Cult of the Conductor*

#### "The Hey Ho Whoa Car"

Alrick is mentioned by Amelia after Hazel compliments Amelia's cooking, saying they both "just know" it's good. When Hazel asks who Alrick is, Amelia says he was "her person" and that he is now dead, leading Hazel to embrace the woman and say they are all here for her. Later, when Hazel transforms into her turtle form during an argument between Amelia and Simon, Amelia realizes that Hazel one of her failed attempts at recreating Alrick. Grace wonders if this makes Hazel a clone of Amelia's "dead boyfriend," but Amelia objects to the idea, instead saying Hazel is "something else."

## Appearance

Alrick is a man with a thin build and blond hair. He wore glasses, brown pants with a black belt and a light grayish-blue buttoned shirt.

## Personality

Alrick was a caring person who stands up for those he cares about. He was also shown to have had a good sense of humor, such as laughing with the rest of his school classroom after their teacher sat on a whoopee-cushion, or disguising himself as a robot to amuse Amelia. He also had a fondness for jam and playing video games.

## Trivia

* According to a tweet by Owen Dennis, Alrick was killed in a dirt biking accident (although it should be noted that Dennis has a tendency to tweet non-canon claims about the characters as jokes).
* Owen Dennis revealed that Aloysius, king of the turtle-people, is some kind of attempt of recreating Alrick and thus the reason why both characters share the same voice actor, the same British accent, and the same eyeglasses.
	+ Hazel is also a failed recreation of Alrick, not resembling him physically but retaining some of his memories.
