What happened to the rest of the Alpha's?

X-Files Motto "Trust Noone."

This plus, at that point Murphy is still in shock from losing Harry, and headed for the state of hardened we see her in GS.  So if there's any point in the series at which to expect Murphy to be more off than usual in her judgement, that is likely it.

Holy crap you're still alive!

I agree with Mr. Death that college groups split up.   They have careers that take them to different parts of the country.  It is natural that the group gets geographically disbursed. 

The more interesting question to me is what happens next.  Given the formor attacks, it is very likely that "some" of the alphas that moved away have become involved in the fight against the Formor.   "some" might even have been captured by the formor.   Add to this the fact that all of these individuals knew Harry rather well - and Harry started the Paranet -- means that heavy Alpha alumni involvement in the paranet is almost a certainity. 

Given heavy involvement and given the fact that the Alphas are probably some of the most dangerous (combat wise) members of the paranet, the odds approach certainty that the Alpha alumni network is one of the cornerstones of Paranet self defense.   

That has to become useful one day for Harry.

Or they were targeted by the Fomor and used for parts.

Rumours, greatly exaggerated, &c. &c.

[Rasins]

Right, people grow up and move on.

That being said, I wonder if any moved elsewhere and taught others their trick

I am kinda curious about the one in the psych ward.

Cause one would tend to think being he could show them, he could prove his sanity or at least that they share his delusion.
On the other hand one wonders if true nonbelievers might not have an anti magic aura of their own... might explain the reference to why Harry could end up in a psyche ward(which imo is totally buffy episode inspired, and i'm ok with that ) Course could just end up being a very alternate reality of sorts.

[Mr. Death]

Who says he's in a psyche ward because nobody believes him?

Maybe he's in a psyche ward because he actually has some unrelated mental issue.

A werewolf who actually is unstable could be fairly terrifying.

I thought the WoJ said specifically that he was there because his magic was perceived as a delusion by people around him, or words to that effect.

I am thinking that, in the fictional world, the crazy ones usually come up with the most interesting ways of using their powers.

As far as I know, the only WOJ on the subject is what's quoted in the original post.

Unless you're referring to the Harry-in-a-psyche-ward thing, which I don't know much about. I was never clear on whether Jim said he planned to have a book like that or if it was just a neat idea that could happen.

From how it was worded. Iirc it was in the same woj that said now that Harry's died he can do the 'fun' stuff. Then points out a half dozen things he wanted to do.

[wardenferry419]

 I wasn't sure about the psych ward thing. WOJ often gets jumbled in my head. But, if a former Alpha is in the booby-hatch; it is a fair assumption that it is magic-related. Maybe the Alpha and Rudolph have adjoining rooms?
