Alias was a member of Stormwatch Team Achilles.
History
Born of Dutch and Zulu descent in South Africa during the 1970s, Alias has been a Stormwatch reservist since 1993 and joined its successor organization Team Achilles. He was brought in following Ben Santini's removal of Senator Reginald Sonny Terns, using his shapechanging powers to impersonate the Senator. In a rather ironic twist the Senator was a white conservative racist while Frederick is a liberal South African.[1] During his time impersonating the Senator he helped get through various liberal bills and financial aid for various African-American organizations.
During Citizen Soldier's attempted overthrow of the U.S. government, Alias' impersonation ended when he survived getting shot in the head by Citizen Soldier while in the presence of a witness, thus making Senator Terns officially dead.[2] Alias ended his mission and joined the Team Achilles field team for the first time.
Following the Authority's takeover of the United States, Alias was given the option of leaving the group since due to Stormwatch's covert nature and the fact that he had never worked with the field team, the Authority was unaware of his existence. However, he refused and stayed with his team.[3]
