Despite being intellectual opposites, Alcatraz considers Byron his best friend. Alcatraz was severely injured in the destruction of New Alexandria, during which he lost his arms and legs.

“Being the voice of caution is not a fun role to play. Always having to be the responsible one, the killjoy, the one who says "maybe that’s too much.” But sometimes, it is too much."

"Byron always called me a pessimist, but I don't think it's pessimistic to recognize our flaws, or to think the natural world is just as valuable as we are. If I was pessimistic, I wouldn't believe that we could turn our back on the old ways, or that we can find happiness in humility. But I do. I have hope, even if Byron could never see it that way."
