History
Alda was first introduced leaving a charity event on the planet Wayland. When she arrived at one of Wayland's spaceports, Turel kidnapped her and locked her in restraints on board the Golden Hand. Although he ignored her threats and questions, Turel actually kidnapped her because Alda's brother Figlio had ordered him to. Alda was then taken to Ailyb-Gypte, and then Coryza on board Figlio's ship. Alda knew Figlio well enough to know that he was intending on manipulating her to do something for him, and she was right. When Figlio brought her into his office, he had her injected with nano-capsules that would poison her unless she agreed to work for HYDRA. Before forcing her to decide, Figlio brought her to the window of his ship, where Alda could do nothing but watch as Figlio brought Mazkertis's nether cell into their reality and set him free.

Still under the threat of poisoning, Alda was coerced by Figlio into spying on Zev Raregroove for HYDRA. However, she revealed her dire circumstance to the Juraian, who offered to take her under his wing if she assumed the cover of one of his Conquistadors. He also offered to remove the nano-capsules from her body. Alda agreed, and went with the Conquistadors to meet with Kakamu and Nadle in a bar on Hei Fon 4. She fit into Zev's merry gang quite well, and was often the first to offer one of Zev's guests a drink or hors d'oeuvres.
