With ALPHA’s release tomorrow (at least here in Australia) it is time to introduce the last of our main characters.
Meet Tilon! He’s disciplined, broody and probably the most level headed of the entire crew. His calm, yet demanding presence is a pillar of strength for those around him.

We’re closing in on the release of ALPHA and getting intimate with the inner circle.
It’s time to meet Winson. Underneath his playful nature lies a young man scared as hell. He doesn’t know where his loyalties lie just yet but he knows something has to change.
Which side will he choose?

Less than a week to go for ALPHA!
It’s time to introduce Jan! This brute of a hybrid has been here longer than anyone. Was he the first of John’s experiments? With his humanity all but snuffed out, Jan is a risk to keep around. Let’s just hope his loyalty to Delia keeps him in check.

The countdown is on!
It’s time to meet our leader.
Delia has been running this show for a hell of a lot longer than any of us knows and she isn’t about to answer to an insolent pup with a savior complex. I’m looking at you Caleb!
Watch out for those claws, she isn’t afraid to use them.

With 9 days to go it’s time to introduce Argo!
Named after the Mythical ship and he won’t let you forget it! Argo is a brawny golden retriever type who won’t give up on Caleb no matter what.
He’s cheeky, he’s flirty and he knows how to throw a punch.
