This is a list of characters from the television series ''Alphas'', which premiered in 2011 on SyFy in the United States. ==Main characters== * Dr. Lee Rosen (David Strathairn) – A doctor specializing in the study of people with super abilities that he has dubbed Alphas. He leads a government-sponsored team of Alphas to help identify and aid other Alphas or stop dangerous ones. Dr. Rosen is cultured and well traveled; he is fluent in such languages as Swahili, Chinese, and some obscure Hindi dialect. Currently, there is no confirmation on Dr. Rosen's status, or if he is presumed deceased, during the events of Season 2's cliffhanger. * Gary Bell (Ryan Cartwright) – An autistic prodigious savant young man who lives with his mother and is socially functional to a degree. His ability of Transduction allows him to view, and interact with, natural electromagnetic radiation, man-made wireless communication, and process information faster than any computer. He states, however, that he is unable to process signals using a Nokia platform. Gary's ability can be used in a number of ways ranging from tracking people by hacking surveillance cameras, to decoding an entire language as seen in Season 1, Episode 4, "Rosetta". He's also been seen streaming videos, checking (or most times hacking) e-mails, and in Episode 5, "Never Let Go", even logged onto Twitter. Recently, events motivated Gary into creating the (Anna Lives ) site. He is immune to Nina's "Push" ability, an ability Dr. Rosen attributed to Gary's autism, meaning he has unique cellular structure and neurochemistry. * Cameron Hicks (Warren Christie) – A former U.S. Marine whose Alpha ability is hyperkinesis, which gives him superhuman balance, aim, and reflexes. He can also predict the trajectory of objects in motion. This makes him a perfect shot and allows him to dodge bullets or trip a running person to cause him to fall into a specific position. His hyperkinesis also allows him to retrace the path of a projectile from only the apparent end result. His ability is linked to his emotional state and is inconsistent when he is extremely stressed or agitated. * Rachel Pirzad (Azita Ghanizada) – A former CIA linguist and highly sensitive person whose Alpha ability is to heighten her senses of sight, smell, taste, hearing, and touch to extreme levels, any one of them at a time, at cost of sensory processing which can leave her vulnerable. ''(See: visual, auditory, tactile, olfaction, gustatory, vestibular, and proprioception)''. She can view things at a microscopic level or smell things by chemical composition. She also appears to have the ability to detect when people are lying, by judging microexpressions, increased sweat, pupil dilation, and increased heart rate. Rachel also seems to have extensive knowledge of chemicals, food ingredients, and fabrics. Dr. Rosen speculated that she's been aware of her Alpha abilities since birth. In the episode "Never Let Me Go", she confided that her family always wanted to "cure her" of her condition's "unusual side-effects" (such as sensory overload, selective sound sensitivity, and extreme sensitivity to germs) directly caused by her Alpha ability. She is currently living with Alpha partner Nina Theroux. Her family are Iranian immigrants, where her father was a doctor but his medical license is not recognised in the United States. He is now the owner of a dry cleaning business for many years. A recurring plot line is Rachel's family trying to find her a husband. Her friendship with Nina is ruined when Nina, overwhelmed by her abilities, pushes Rachel to kiss her at a club, and took many episodes for her to forgive her. She can overcome exposure of someone if she has repetitive contact with them. John Bennett is currently trying to establish a relationship with her. * Nina Theroux (Laura Mennell) – A carefree individual who has the Alpha ability to 'push' people into doing whatever she asks of them. This form of persuasive mind control requires her to not only provide verbal commands, but she must also have eye contact with the individual she is pushing. It is revealed that Nina cannot push everyone she pleases. As her abilities work like hypnosis, some individuals are more resistant to the influence of her suggestions. It is revealed that Alpha partner Gary is just such an individual. It is also revealed that she is not immune to the influence of other pushers. It is alluded to that out of all of the groups she has been with Dr. Rosen the longest. Because of her time with Rosen, Nina constantly expresses her fears of being the next to be institutionalized. She later reveals that she pushed her ex-boyfriend to suicide by accident during a time when she didn't fully comprehend her Alpha ability. Despite her carefree nature, Nina has shown a more sincere, caring side like when she offered Rachel a place to stay after being moving out of her parent's house. A running gag is that Nina always has a different car that she "Borrows", implying that she pushes others to lend their keys to her. In the episode "When Push Comes To Shove", it is revealed Nina first used her ability on her father who wanted to leave, but she pushed him to stay; it was later shown that her father had been unable to leave for work because '... he couldn't leave' and required her to push him again to allow him to go to work. However, despite Nina's attempts to make her father stay, the stress of wanting to leave but never being allowed to by Nina caused her father to commit suicide. Her ability appears to be getting stronger with continual use; originally she could push for a few minutes, but can now make it last for over half a day. She takes a break from the team in season two, her abilities taking hold so she is soon pushing people regularly, including making an old boyfriend believe he's in love with her again. She tries to kill herself but is stopped by Hicks. Despite what she's done, Rosen chooses to bring her back to the team and continues to try and help her. * Bill Harken (Malik Yoba) – A former FBI agent with the ability to activate his endocrinal 'fight or flight' response at will, resulting in increased durability and superstrength. He is also able to increase his running speed using this same manner, running nearly as fast as an escaping vehicle, and almost as fast as an Alpha running at ten times the normal human level. Extended periods of time in this heightened state (approx. 5 minutes) results in excessive strain on his heart which could lead to a heart attack. Due to the nature of his Alpha ability, Harken proves resistant to the influence of chemical manipulations in the brain (e.g. showing resistance to the pheromone–induced aggression). * Kat (Erin Way) – A mysterious, free-spirited young loner whose Alpha ability allows her procedural memories to pick up any skill at a glance. The downside to her condition, which has plagued her entire life, is that her declarative memories are short-lived and her experiences fade away after a short amount of time (usually a month). Becoming a member of the team provides a purpose and direction for Kat and working with Dr. Rosen may help her reclaim her lost past. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of Alphas characters」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
