Wally Alba
In 2061, an Irish mission imported a group of living Haemophages from the Dead Zone to Sydney, in order to perform medical studies and improve the knowledge on their biology. Unfortunately, after a black out occurred in one of the facilities hosting them, a small number of creatures managed to escape containment and move to the outback, an environment similar to the artificial desert they came from.
In order to avoid another disaster like in St. Patrick, the Australian government greenlighted the creation of an Outback Army to keep track of the Haemophages and prevent their spread into the rest of the continent. To further boost the popularity of the newly founded military corps, the PR department of the army decided to commission a small subunit of "dinosaur soldiers" to a joint venture composed by Zavira Genetics and Encorp. The soldiers were shipped in 2062 and formed the commando known as "the Outback Hunters". Among those genetically mutated reptilians, captain Wally Alba was the leader of the group.
While he was considered a hero, especially by the children, after having spent two years shooting at the constantly growing number of Haemophages, Wally got sick of his duty. Desperate for changing his life, he begged his comrades to help him escape from Australia. By bribing the captain of a container ship, they managed to make Wally reach Japan safely, far from his home country and the logorating war against Haemophages.
There, he met Mono Kishima and quickly formed an alliance with her to work together as bounty hunters and build a new life in a foreign country.
Despite seeming hard and difficult to handle, Wally has a soft spot for children and he's really fond of donating part of his income to charity. Together with Mono, they decided that robbery is fine, as long as the target is an "evil-doer" or someone who got rich by exploiting poor people and bending laws - making businessmen like Sanjuro Bonzaga an acceptable target. Wally and Mono have built up a sort of brother-sister relationship and, even if it doesn't look like at first sight, they really care a lot about each other.
He believes his life was "stolen" from him and just wants to be able to get "something" to replace this loss, even if he doesn't really know what this "something" is.
