Pre-series events
Alain was born around 1866, the fourth and youngest child of the Gamma King Adonis. Alain was first introduced to Makoto and Kanon Fukami, two humans who had been trapped in the Gamma World, by his sister Alia. While initially apathetic towards the humans, Alain gained respect for an older Makoto after the latter displayed combat skills that finally allowed Alain to train properly. He eventually befriended the Fukami siblings, calling Makoto his best friend.

At some point, Alain crossed over to the human world, and began working with Chikara Saionji, a human with knowledge of the Gamma. Alain promised to help Saionji collect the 15 luminary Eyecons in exchange for Saionji's help in the Demia Project, the Gammas' invasion of Earth.

Beginning the Demia Project
Alain was placed in charge of setting preparations for the invasion of the human world. While it is unknown to what extent he completed his plans, Alain eventually ran into an obstacle in the form of Takeru Tenkuji, who became Kamen Rider Ghost after being killed by the Katana Gamma. Alain witnesses the destruction of the Katana Gamma at the hands of Kamen Rider Ghost who had acquired the Musashi Eyecon, noting to Chikara Saionji that an obstacle to their agenda has emerged. Later, Alain sees the Denki Gamma fall to Ghost as the Kamen Rider claimed the Edison Eyecon it sought. Voicing to Saionji that his efforts in manipulating Yoshinori Sonoda were for naught, Alain is assured by him that his endeavor was in fact quite productive and that it would prove useful in the long run. Becoming increasingly tired of disappointment as he witnesses the Ono Gamma be destroyed by Ghost now in Robin Damashii, Alain tells Saionji, who now appears unnerved, that he has had enough of his excuses.

Tired of Saionji's failures, Alain begins to take matters into his own hands. While the Book Gamma's manipulations send a large portion of the city into the sky, Alain sends out multiple Eyecons. He seems unfazed by Ghost defeating the Gamma, saying that it was only a taste of what is to come. Saionji confronts Alain sometime later about Kamen Rider Specter taking the Nobunaga Eyecon. Alain reassures his partner that he would fulfill his side of the deal, warning Saionji to do the same. After Saionji departs, Alain launches Gamma to take over a city hall, in order to use the location for a Gamma Hole. When Specter stops Ghost from interfering in his plans, Alain personally gives his thanks, and asks for additional help. After Specter declines, Alain ponders about the importance of the luminary Eyecons. Although Specter later removes the Gamma from the location, Alain overlooks his action due to the preparations already being complete.

However, in his next encounter with Specter, he asks whether or not he could count on him. Specter lends him the Edison Eyecon to use for his plans, although Alain admits his uncertainty about Specter's final goal. Some time later, Specter calls him asking for information on Saionji. Alain only states that Saionji is helping him, but returns the Edison Eyecon, which he has used to create a monolith. The monolith is destroyed when Ghost defeats the Insect Gamma, in order to prevent Takeru from investigating it.

Takeru's interference resulted in Adonis sending Jabel to assist Alain. Alain was enraged to find Jabel use his preparations to summon Gundari without permission. Alain summoned Jabel back before he could be killed by Ghost and Specter

Aftermath of Saionji's Betrayal
Jabel's actions alerted Alain that the luminary Eyecons had powers he was unaware of. Confronting Specter a final time about his new alliance with Takeru, he warned his former friend that they would be enemies the next time they met. Alain took the Eyecons Jabel had recovered before going to see his brother, warning Jabel not to take any action until he returned.

Alain learned from Adel that they were after the luminary Eyecons for their power, not to obtain a physical body. Using the Planet Gamma, Alain launched a plan to use a satellite in order to siphon human souls, but was foiled by Takeru again, much to his rage. Sometime later, he approached Specter with a final warning, sending Jabel on his former friend when Specter swore to live as a human.

Becoming Necrom
Having had enough of Takeru, Alain took the Mega Ulorder, becoming Kamen Rider Necrom. In his first battle as Necrom, he defeated Ghost and Specter with ease, forcing the two to retreat. Makoto found Alain later and attempted to reason with him, but Alain insisted that his ideals were right, and transformed into Necrom to forcibly bring Specter back to the Gamma World. The battle was interrupted by Ghost, who had only heard part of the story from Kanon and tried to reach peace with Alain. His pleas fell on deaf ears: Ghost and Specter were saved only by Necrom reaching the time limit on his transformation Necrom fought Specter again a few days later, defeating him and inserting the Necrom Eyecon into Specter's Driver, turning him into Necrom Specter and Alain's puppet. When Takeru and Kanon arrived at the scene searching for Makoto, Alain denied knowing where Specter was and assured Kanon that he was probably fine.

Kanon found Alain later at the spot where Makoto tended to visit. While unable to lie to Kanon's face, Alain agreed to help find her brother. While "searching", Alain was confused and thrown off by unfamiliar human interactions. Conveniently, Takeru soon arrived, having heard that Alain was with Kanon. Alain engaged Takeru in combat in order to clear his head, in the process revealing his possession of Makoto. He and Specter retreated temporarily. Kanon found Alain later, demanding him to bring back her brother. Much to Alain's fury, Makoto was eventually released with the combined effort of Takeru, Kanon, and Specter's Eyecons. Transforming into Necrom to fight back, Alain was held back with the combined efforts of Ghost and Specter. The battle ended in a stalemate when Alain was called back to the Gamma World for a meeting with the magistrate.

Staying behind in his world for some time after the meeting, Alain was called by his father into the Prayer Room. Adonis asked his son about the human world and of his friend. Possibly sensing his son's internal conflict, Adonis advised Alain to listen to his heart. Having been taught his whole life to put his heart aside for the sake of a perfect world, Alain was bewildered by this suggestion, which he relayed to his sister Alia.

Hunted and Vulnerable
Alain was framed by his brother, Adel, for killing his father, Adonis. With his Eyecon form destroyed by his brother Adel, he was forced to go back to his mortal body which reawakened in his capsule, He was then hunted by many Gamma Assaults and Gamma Superiors under his brother's orders. After seeing Takeru and Specter, he allowed Specter to escape with Takeru back to the human world before he himself escaped as well.

Disgraced, Alain was found by Makoto after spending a night on the streets. Begrudgingly accepting food from Makoto, Alain was found by Takeru, who not only demanded the Eyecons to stop the Gamma invasion, but also wanted information about the capsules. The conversation was interrupted by Jabel, who was sent to murder Alain upon Adel's orders. Now in a weaker body, Necrom was unable to keep with Jabel with his new Ultima form. Alain was saved by Specter, who retreated with him. Deciding to take his father's advice, Alain finally gave in to Kanon's request and tried takoyaki. His moment of peace was short-lived when Jabel attacked him again.

Learning the Truth of the Gamma World and Befriending Takeru
Alain agreed to help Takeru to save Makoto after the latter's sacrifice of his Gamma body. His attachment of the human world and the confusing emotions typical of a humanoid body growing, Alain chose to help Takeru (for his own goal of restoring his Gamma body).

Alain helped Takeru to go to Gamma World to talk to his father while Takeru was going to rescue Makoto. Before he met his father, he checked on the chest containing humans. To his horror, he feared the truth that Takeru told him. He quickly met his father alongside Takeru as he just destroyed the cage which his father was held in. Their conversation was soon broken up by Adel as he finally learned the truth of his father's power and was able to control it better than him. Adel killed his father and indicated that he loved his father's ideals more than Adonis himself; hence the necessity of eliminating Adonis and Alain. Adonis' last words to Alain was that he loved Alain before vanishing forever.

The depressed Alain was comatose until Makoto snapped him out of it with a punch in the face. At the same time Adel arrived and insults their father. This causes Alain (finally awakened from his despair) to realize that the Gamma World was not the perfect ideal, vowed his vendetta against Adel, and joined both Takeru and Makoto to fight. Upon the battle's end, Alain chose to stay in human world to learn more about it.

Personality
Alain is cool and calculative as far as observing the Gamma do their thing to wreak havoc in human society. However, he is also temperamental and not without tolerance for failures; where he employs Chikara Saionji to do his bidding constantly backfires due to the presence of Kamen Rider Ghost foiling their plans. Alain is shown to not to tolerate any form of insubordination and treason, such his enforcer, Jabel who took course of action of taking two Ghost Eyecons and attacking Ghost and Specter using the Gundari without his consent; with Alain forcing to Jabel to stand down. He is particularly annoyed when Gamma respond to higher powers than him, such as his brother.

Alain has a firm, almost blind faith in the ideology of the Gamma: individual lives are of no value, and the human world would be better under the control of Gamma. His knowledge of the Gamma World has been shown to be limited, believing the capsules containing bodies are his people being preserved indefinitely when it is shown otherwise. Although he has questionable methods, Alain has been shown to care about Specter: his possession of Specter was done believing that Specter's heart made him suffer, and taking his heart away would be helping him. Alain has an involuntary curiosity about the human world, despite his best efforts to stifle it. He is unaware of several human concepts, such as dating and takoyaki (he mistook the latter for an Eyecon at first glance).

After being trapped in his mortal body and forced to live in the human world, Alain was overwhelmed by new emotions, including hunger, grief, and fear of death.

His cold personality changes after he learned the truth of his world alongside the death of his father by Adel's hand. He also free his mind to learn more about human world afterward.

Abilities
The full limit of Alain's powers has yet to be seen, but it has been shown that he is an incredibly powerful Gamma.
 * Gamma Hole creation/Gamma summoning
 * Alain is capable of creating a miniature Gamma Hole to bring forth the Gamma Eyecons by merely pointing and making the shape of an eye with his hand in a similar manner to Ghost, as opposed to Chikara Saionji who, as a mortal human, requires special equipment to create a Hole. Since regaining his mortal body, he can only use this for creating a portal between the Gamma and human worlds (as Necrom).


 * Hand-to-Hand Combat
 * Alain is shown to be skilled in hand-to-hand combat, being able to fight Specter in his civilian form. However, ever since regaining his mortal body, Alain's battle performance has become more clumsier to the point that he even couldn't overpower Gamma Commandos even as Necrom. Though, this was because Alain isn't used to with his real body. He later regains his hand-to-hand combat confidence after receiving a box of takoyaki and eating it while battling the Gamma Superiors.


 * Eyecon's Subjugation (Formerly)
 * Alain is able to force his energy in any of the fifteen Eyecons to submit and give him their power, as shown in episode 16 . However, Alain no longer has this ability after he was returned to his original body in episode 23. Despite that, Alain's Ghost Eyecons still chose to side with him rather with Takeru.
