Alpha is a male television villain who features in Dollhouse.

Biography

Karl William Kraft was a male human born in the modern age on Earth. By adulthood, he came to be a criminal responsible for kidnapping and torture. At some pint, he attempted to murder Nita Walsh but was caught leading to his capture where he was convicted and sentenced for his crimes. In this time, he was approached by the Dollhouse who offered him a 5 year contract with them at the end of which he would get his freedom. This contract entailed his personality being wiped leading to him being turned into a Doll with a new persona installed in that time. Karl would accept the terms of the deal where his personality was placed into a Wedge whilst an Active architecture was installed in him leading to his body becoming Alpha. (Episode: Omega)

He began to show signs that he was different when he started to sign his name using the Greek letter on his work in art class. While the rest of the staff presumed he was simply painting a fish, Laurence Dominic was aware of its true meaning, and the fact it was the first sign that something was different. (Episode: Omega)

Alpha was an insane rogue active who, after accidently being imprinted with forty personalities at once, experienced a composite event and lost his mind. Each of his personalities fought for dominance of his brain and subsequently he was continuously shifting between personalities.

Overview

Personality and attributes

Originally, his body held the persona of convicted criminal Karl William Kraft but he was given the designation of Alpha after becoming an Active at the Dollhouse. (Episode: Omega)

The various personalities in him appeared to disagree with one another openly though a consistent identity was seemingly in control. (Episode: The Omega)

Alpha, like Paul Ballard, has an unhealthy obession towards Echo and recognises that she is special. He infiltrated the Dollhouse and kidnapped Echo where he then proceeded to imprint her with each of her previous personality. Unlike Alpha, Echo's brain was able to handle it and she fights back against him before he escaped.

Powers and abilities

He was shown to be master planner, a manipulator and was very patient. (Episode: Briar Rose)
