| “ Dan said they'd take everything... For me, they already have. „ |
| — Alec Mason |
Alec Mason is a named major character in Red Faction: Guerrilla. The game's protagonist, Alec Mason immigrated to Mars in 2125, hoping that his brother, Dan Mason, could get him a mining job on the planet. As Dan drove his brother to his trailer, he bitterly described the oppression and brutality practiced by the Earth Defense Force; after liberating Mars in 2075, the EDF perpetrated various injustices.
Description
From the game's manual:
| “ Alec Mason has lived a nomadic existence, traveling all around Earth looking for work, and Mars is just the latest in a long line of moves - most due to being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Lured to the red planet by his brother, Dan, Alec is just looking for a way to make a living. Not as idealistic as his younger brother, Alec would rather find a place to call home than try and change the world „ |
Backstory
Dan Mason's warnings about the EDF proved prophetic when an EDF AAX Raven killed him. As a grieving Alec returned to his trailer, he found an EDF patrol waiting for him. The patrol had searched and ransacked the trailer and found explosives -- a legitimate tool of Alec's trade. Branding him a terrorist and a member of the revived Red Faction, an EDF officer ordered the squad to execute him. The execution was interrupted by a Red Faction squad, who gunned down most of the squad -- Mason used his sledgehammer to finish off the last officer.
The new Red Faction's leader, Hugo Davies, approached Alec Mason and, without bothering to introduce himself, grimly informed Mason that, like it or not, he just joined the rebellion.
Red Faction: Guerrilla
Alec Mason is the player character in Red Faction: Guerrilla, and played a crucial role in the resistance against the Earth Defense Force. As a member of the Red Faction, he made the pivotal discovery of an unidentified Marauder device within an old Ultor mine. This discovery proved to be a game-changer, as it enabled Samanya to develop the Nano Forge, which would then be utilized for the creation of the Nano Rifle, a powerful weapon that bolstered the Red Faction's arsenal in their struggle against the EDF; as well as a destructive device that ultimately would be used to destroy the Hydra.
Additionally, Alec's actions and contributions were instrumental in fostering unity between the Marauders, led by Vasha, and the Red Faction. This truce led to the formation of a permanent alliance between these groups, strengthening their resistance against the EDF and altering the course of the conflict on Mars.
Red Faction: Guerrilla (Mobile)
In RF:G (Mobile), an unnamed protagonist carries out various assignments to hit EDF targets, and eventually becomes an ally of the Marauders upon rescuing a group of them from EDF captivity. Based on promotional material for the game, it is extremely likely that this unnamed protagonist is Alec Mason, though this remains unconfirmed.
