Founded in early September of 2003, through the ideals and efforts of Daedalus, the clan grew its origins through the common goal of gaming throughout the Deus Ex Multiplayer community, and the passion to keep that way of gaming alive. An attraction of views and opinions on the way the game would be played, and the attitudes that should be portrayed through active gaming throughout the DXMP scene made the clan establish its roots with the first members of many — DoughBoy, Alex, James and Darren.

The clan became widely known as |ALPHA|, gaining the interest & intrigue of many, though causing controversy and spite to stir in others as the clan climbed up through the ranks. When a merge was made in early 2004 with another clan, proposed to ensure better skills through the exchange of knowledge and time, it caused others to privately question the integrity of Alpha as a community, but proved to be ill-founded, as the pact with the [A]ssassins proved to be strong and wise. The [A]lliance was born, improving the competitive edge on the Alpha community through the development of new skills and tactics. These new skills not only included the development of augmented game play; from the mass of the Alpha community came forth editors of all aspects, including coders, modelers, and mappers. To this day, Alpha is known for its skilled but modest editing community, and is suggested upon to enhance and strengthen the DXMP community, from both those who would choose to attempt to destroy the agreeable way of gaming in the DXMP community, and the ideals and views of peers that have malicious intent to the game nonetheless.

Having since regained its former name, and adapting to the new in-game tag that it has acquired from the merge with [A]ssassins, the [A]lpha clan continues to stand out from the crowd to provide a strong opposition to any clan on any type of Deus Ex game play style, through the variety of game type preference found within the ranks of the clan; both augmented and non-augmented game type challenges are accepted and carried out with good faith and respect. [A]lpha is unique by its well established dynamic use of both modding and gaming enhancements to the DXMP scene; the [A]lpha Labs are well-known for their regular releases of well-made, effective mods and mutators for the DXMP community, allowing the clan to truly live up to its reputation and aim — "We fight for Deus Ex", not only through well-mannered game play, but through the maintenance and well-being of the integrity of the game itself through the [A]lpha Labs.
