History: (Marvel
Knights 4 I#20 (fb) – BTS) – Alecto, the daughter of Gorgon, grew
up undergoing training by her father, who led the Inhuman military. At
age 13,
she was exposed to Terrigenesis, which would eventually grant her
bat-like
wings. Alecto fell in love with Reyno, an Alpha Primitive who served
her
family, and she discovered that he was developing male characteristics,
a
mutation given that his race had no gender. Scheduled to undergo
secondary
Terrigenesis and forbidden to love an Alpha Primitive, Alecto chose to
run away
with Reyno instead.
(Marvel Knights 4 I#19) – Alecto and Reyno snuck
out of their quarters and
stole a ship, rushing from Attilan on the moon to Earth, and they
landed
without authorization at the Baxter Building then asked the Invisible
Woman for
refuge. As Franklin Richards talked to Alecto and Reyno about
Terrigenesis,
Gorgon burst in through the wall, grabbing Alecto against her will and
shoving
Reyno aside, but the duo escaped while Invisible Woman briefly held
Gorgon off.
They rushed to the roof, where Alecto shocked Reyno by sprouting wings,
the
effect of her earlier Terrigenesis.
(Marvel Knights 4 I#20) – Alecto took off into the
sky with Reyno but
Franklin Richards grabbed on to Reyno and there was too much weight for
Alecto
to remain aloft. Refusing to land as she might be apprehended, Alecto
gave
Franklin no choice but to let go and the boy was narrowly saved by Mr.
Fantastic. The Human Torch soon apprehended the two teens, returning
them to
the Baxter Building, where Gorgon was being contained. After an
examination
from Mr. Fantastic, Alecto and Reyno joined the FF, H.E.R.B.I.E. and
Gorgon
for a meeting, where Reyno's gender mutation was revealed. The Inhuman
Royal
Family was summoned and they returned Alecto and Reyno to Attilan.
Alecto was soon given secondary Terrigenesis,
growing taller. She later appeared flanking the Royal Family during
a proclamation. Dressed in red and carrying a spear, she ignored Reyno
when he
called out to her. Alecto then turned with tears in her eyes and asked
Reyno to
never speak to her again, as Primitives were beneath her station.
(Marvel Knights 4 I#30 (fb) – BTS) – Alecto served
on the imperial guard
for a time then she and Reyno chose to run away, forming their own
society in
the Blue Area of the Moon, where Inhumans and Alpha Primitives could
co-mingle.
The Royal Family and Gorgon frowned upon fringe societies but chose to
let
them go ahead.
Comments: Created by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa,
Valentine de Landro, Matt Banning and Derek Fridoffs.
As the daughter of Gorgon, it is presumed that
Alecto's last
name is Petragon. Gorgon has been romantically connected to Myrra,
who may be Alecto's mother. Gorgon has another son, Petras, who is
presumed to
be Alecto's half-brother but he may be a full-blooded sibling as well.
Alecto would also be related to the rest of the
Inhuman
family more distantly, with Black Bolt, Maximus, Karnak, Triton, Medusa
and
Crystal, as well as their parents and relatives being cousins or
distant
cousins, some removed multiple times.

CLARIFICATIONS:
Alecto has no known connections to:
(Marvel Knights 4 I#20 (fb) – BTS) – A member of
the Alpha Primitives, a
cloned race of former slaves who had been bred to serve the Inhumans,
Reyno's
family served the household of Gorgon, the leader of the Inhuman
military.
Reyno fell in love with Gorgon's teenage daughter, Alecto, who had been
forced
to undergo Terrigenesis. Reyno discovered he had male characteristics,
a
mutation from his race, who were bred without gender. When Alecto was
scheduled
to undergo secondary Terrigenesis, Reyno chose to run away with her.
(Marvel Knights 4 I#19) – Reyno and Alecto stole a
ship from Attilan and
traveled to Earth, where they sought refuge with the Fantastic Four.
After the
Invisible Woman accepted them, Reyno and Alecto spoke with the boy
Franklin
Richards. Gorgon attacked, seizing Alecto and pushing Reyno aside, but
the
Invisible Woman intervened and Alecto and Reyno fled to the roof.
There, Alecto
sprouted bat-like wings.
(Marvel Knights 4 I#20) – Alecto took off into the
sky holding Reyno but
Franklin Richards grabbed on and it was too much weight for Alecto to
carry.
Reyno begged that they get the boy to safety but Franklin let go and
was only
narrowly saved by the Fantastic Four. The Human Torch apprehended
Alecto and
Reyno and returned them to the Baxter Building. Mr. Fantastic examined
Reyno,
discovering hs gender, which he revealed in a meeting with the
Fantastic Four,
H.E.R.B.I.E. and Gorgon. The Royal Family was summoned and Alecto and
Reyno
were returned to Attilan, where Alecto was subjected to secondary
Terrigenesis.
Later, Reyno saw Alecto during a royal proclamation and saw that she
was
taller and carrying a spear. Reyno called out to her, reminding her
that he'd
loved her but Alecto stated that Primitives were beneath her, then,
with tears
in her eyes, she asked Reyno to never speak to her again.
(Marvel Knights 4 I#30 (fb) – BTS) – Alecto served
on the imperial guard
for a time then she and Reyno chose to run away, forming their own
society in
the Blue Area of the Moon, where Inhumans and Alpha Primitives could
co-mingle.
The Royal Family and Gorgon frowned upon fringe societies, but chose to
let
them go ahead.
