Alpha-Nine is a Hurt-bot built by Gina Diggers some time in the future as an assistant and protector. He traveled with her backwards through time past the beginning of this universe to the end of the previous universe where they met the Nomad Artificers.
It is unknown if he was upgraded with Artificer technology, but he was entrusted with a special experimental power source she developed called the M14 H.A.D.^7h, with which he could travel back to our universe in a prototype ship. If successful, Gina and the surviving 3 ancient races of previous universe could follow with similar ships and power sources. Gina also sent a complete set of Artificer “Pau” toys with Alpha-Nine for her niece Tifanny.
An anomaly occurred during the crossing from the previous universe to our universe which affected the prototype ship. The power source and ship started to grow an Earth-like environment (soil, rocks, plants, water, atmosphere). Alpha-Nine himself had his memory banks wiped yet was still functional, truly alive now. Finally, the “Pau” toys were transformed into living creatures which would eventually evolve into the Djinn race with continued exposure to the M14 H.A.D.^7h (the Djinni’s Magic Sun).
Per future Gina’s final instructions to him, he has waited to give her his final report. In the mean time, he watched over the developing Djinn race as their Djinn Elder, also known as the “Ancient One”.
It is unknown to what degree his abilities are similar to typical Djinn, but he has shown the ability to teleport both himself and large structures with no strain. He was also always able to prevent the Djinn Madrid from accessing the Djinni’s Magic Sun.
