Alpha
From Hyrule
Alpha is a mysterious Sheikah, one who knows few people and trusts an even smaller number. Regardless of this fact, he appears to have friends in very, very high places...though the same could be said of his enemies.

History
The story of Alpha's life is something that is in continuing revelation. It is a mystery to many, though bits and pieces are constantly falling into place for those who pay attention and manage to grasp all the clues left both by the Sheikah and those associated with him.
This section will detail a vast majority of what has been revealed so far (please keep in mind that most of this is actually not known by characters, only by RPers OOC).
Early Years
Traveling with Zaris
The Dark Years
As one might infer from the title, these years were filled with fear and darkness for the young Sheikah, as he struggled after departing from his master and tried to find his own way through the world. As might also be inferred, the name is a parody of "the Dark Ages", which these seven years do have one striking similarity to: nobody knows for sure what has happened during this time. The events have not been fully revealed concerning this phase of Alpha's life, but it is known that during this time he took on the job of an assassin, under the employ of criminal mastermind Gorodo, a human whose size belied the cold and calculating mind he held. The Sheikah's skill quickly proved invaluable to members of the criminal underground, and he soon earned for himself the title of Wraith.
As Wraith, Alpha took part in and won a competition known as the Demon Tournament. In the process he was required to defeat another assassin, Alik, an event which would come back to haunt the young mage multiple times. As events unfolded, the Sheikah eventually became aware of a being referred to thus far only as The Master or Him, who was overlooking the endeavors of all the criminal overlords, Gorodo included. At one point, this Master became the one who gave Alpha his cursed scar.
One year after becoming an assassin, Alpha chose to retire from this job for some unknown reason, leaving behind all articles of this lifestyle, including the Staff Brenyuu, which had become one of his prized possessions. During this year he had managed to reach an impressive kill rate: over 5000 deaths in a single year, and all of them targets picked out specifically by the Sheikah rather than simply assigned or offered him. It was a grave loss for the criminal underground, but few were stupid enough to consider questioning his choice...and those that were so foolhardy as to do so quickly lost what little brainmatter they had.
The six years from this point to the time he returned to Hyrule remain unknown to anyone and everyone.
Return to Hyrule
After running for years from some unknown forces (as apparently the Hakiems had either lost track of or interest in him), Alpha managed to hear a rumor that led him to believe Master Zaris was in Hyrule once again.
The Current Battles
Yet the Sheikah's life was not about to take a turn for the better, for the Hakiems quickly learned that he had arrived in Hyrule, likely searching for their quarry as well.
