Alvin (Video Game)

"You take care of my girls. I get the feeling it's gonna be a girl... Just a hunch. Go on."

- Alvin's last words to Clementine. (Determinant)

Alvin is an original character who appears in Telltale Games' The Walking Dead: Season Two.

Location Unknown
Alvin was married happily to Rebecca, who he loves dearly. Very little is otherwise known about Alvin's pre-apocalypse life except that Alvin mentions that he and Rebecca went skiing once, and Rebecca states that it wasn't pretty.

Howe's Hardware
Alvin and his wife Rebecca were members of the community at Howe's Hardware community run by William Carver. Unbenownst to Alvin, Rebecca had an affair with Carver that he would not learn about until the events of "A House Divided". Some time later Rebecca became pregnant, though Alvin remained in the dark that the baby may not have been his. When Luke and Carver disagreed about how to run the community, Alvin and Rebecca followed a group lead by Luke in leaving Howe's Hardware. Upon doing so, he was forced to kill his own friend, another community member named George. The group succeeded in escaping the community, though they were forced to leave Reggie behind who fell when trying to escape. Eventually, the group took shelter in a cabin in the woods nearby.

"All That Remains"
When Pete brings Clementine to the group, Alvin acts as a voice of reason by calming Rebecca and Nick down. He becomes sympathetic towards Clementine when she shows the group her bite wound and starts to suggest that they could spare some supplies before Rebecca silences him. He can still be convinced to defend her if she chooses to appeal to him. Later, when Clementine looks for supplies to help her stitch her arm up, she can approach Alvin's window and ask for his help or enter the cabin without asking for his help. If Clementine asks Alvin for help, he tries to refuse to help her, saying he will get in trouble. Although, Clementine can convince him to help her anyway. If so, he brings her some bandages and a juice box before attending the house meeting about Clementine.

"A House Divided"
Alvin appears in this episode. He is seen discussing the appearance of Carver with the other group members in the cabin. Later, he travels with the rest of the group to a distant mountain range, all the while being concerned about Rebecca's pregnancy-related hunger. When they are confronted by a group of apparent bandits at an abandoned ski lodge, Alvin tries to convince the aggressors to put their guns down. Later when Carver and his group attack, he, Rebecca and Clementine hide while everyone gets rounded up and forced onto their knees. Alvin notably discovers Rebecca's affair with Carver after the latter calls out to Rebecca, suggesting that the baby belongs to him. Alvin looks upset and disappointed but nonetheless stays by his wife's side, and later affirms that he still considers Rebecca's baby his.

Meanwhile Clementine can choose to surrender or find Luke and Kenny for help. If the latter is chosen and Clementine tells Kenny to take the shot at Carver, Alvin will be killed by Carver after Kenny fails to hit him in the head. If Clementine convinces Rebecca to surrender, she is later given the chance to run into Carver as he holds Alvin hostage, knocking him free and causing Carver to miss his shot. If he survives, he, along with the others, are marched out of the ski lodge and into the snow by Carver and his men at gunpoint.

"In Harm's Way"
If Alvin survived the events of "A House Divided", he will appear alongside the other members of Clementine's group captured in Carver's group's truck, being escorted to their compound. After the truck arrives at the compound, Alvin and the other members of the group are loaded off the truck. Alvin is soon told he needs to go to Carver's office for a moment, Rebecca tries to stop him, but Alvin tells her not to worry, saying if Carver wanted to kill him, he would have done it already.

After Alvin arrives at Carver's office, the latter beats him to an unconscious and bloody state. Clementine later sees this when Carver invites her to his office for a talk and she asks why Carver would hurt Alvin so badly. Carver simply responds by saying that the two have history and it can be inferred that part of Alvin's beating was because of his murder of George, a former member of Carver's community.

A day after his sadistic beating at the hands of Carver, Clementine sneaks into Carver's office, hoping to use the controls of the compound's PA system located inside to draw a nearby herd to the compound. Clementine tries to wake Alvin, but it is to no avail, leading her to believe he is dead. However, after Clementine activates the PA, Alvin springs to life and grabs a spare gun in Carver's desk, musing over how a 'big man' uses such a small weapon. He tells Clementine to leave him, saying that there is no way he will be able to escape the compound in his current condition. Just before Clementine leaves, Alvin tells her to look after his girls, saying he thinks Rebecca's baby will be a girl. After that, Hank, one of Carver's men, bursts into the office and shoots Alvin in the chest, however, Alvin uses one last ounce of strength and uses Carver's spare gun to shoot and kill Hank, shortly dying afterwards.

Killed By
After Kenny had killed Johnny and Walter had been killed, Carver will take Alvin hostage to get closer to Kenny, Rebecca tries to stop him but Troy holds her at gunpoint, but seeing as Kenny (and Clementine if she went to find him) moved to a different spot where they shot Johnny, Kenny has the opportunity to shoot Carver in a different angle, Alvin then tells Rebecca that he loves her for a goodbye as she tries to convince Carver to let Alvin go. If Clementine went to find Luke and Kenny, she has the option to tell Kenny to shoot or tell him not to. If she tells him to take the shot, Carver will be shot in the shoulder and knocked to the ground, he then gets up and Kenny tries to reload his gun to shoot him again but is too late as Carver tops it off by shooting Alvin in the head. Or if Clementine chose to give up with Rebecca and Alvin, and tries to convince Carver to let Alvin go or doesn't say or do anything, it will result in the same thing.

Killed By
If Alvin is saved in the previous episode, he is badly beaten up by Carver and left in his office. Later, Clementine finds him mortally wounded and nearly immobile. He manages to get up and gets a gun from Carver's drawer, when he hears Carver's men approaching them he tells Clementine to go, no matter what Clem says he stays behind because he is in too much pain to move. Before allowing Clementine to go, he promises her that he'll buy her some time, he then asks her to look after Rebecca and their child. Hank then runs in and before Alvin can take the shot, Hank shoots him in the shoulder, but just before he could die from the wound, he manages to shoot his murderer in the chest killing him as well, before dying himself.

Rebecca
"I know it's a waste of time, but I can't stop thinking about the things I should've said to him... Things I should've talked to him about."

- Rebecca to Clementine about her thoughts on Alvin.

Rebecca is married to Alvin, and her husband seems to be more kind-hearted and compassionate than her. Clementine's arrival at the cabin has apparently increased tensions between the two; both disagree on whether or not to trust the young girl. Further, the possibility exists that the child Rebecca carries isn't Alvin's, and this causes her a great deal of distress. However, they both care greatly for one another, with Alvin constantly looking out for her during their journey to the mountains. When Carver held the group hostage Rebecca wanted to find Luke and Kenny to possibly save everybody including Alvin. When Alvin is held up he says "I love you Bec" showing how close Alvin is to Rebecca. Should Alvin die, Rebecca is clearly devastated by his demise and is crying again showing how much she loves him. Alternatively, if Alvin survived, Rebecca is reduced to tears after Carver beats Alvin into unconsciousness. Later, Rebecca asks Clementine to rescue Alvin when she sneaks into Carver's office, but becomes devastated when Clementine returns alone after Alvin's death. Later, Rebecca stays behind to watch Kenny savagely beat Carver to death, in revenge for Alvin's death.

"It looks like Alvin... Definitely."

- Clementine to Rebecca about the baby.

Alvin never had the chance to meet his wife's baby, but he clearly cared deeply about the well-being of both the baby and his mother while she was pregnant with him, he later discovers that the baby may not be biologically his but his possible last words to Clementine asking her to take care of them would suggest that he doesn't care about that and still cares about the baby as much as he did before.
