Personality[]

At first, Alden Greene seemed like an average wealthy businessman who didn't like having his family's money being stolen by his daughter in-law and given to a hobo. It was later discovered that his personality was far more sinister, as he had financed the development of a super soldier serum and didn't hesitate to murder journalist Rachael Priest after she discovered the shady deal. He was also very manipulative, as he was able to pull some chains and bribe his way out of two life sentences.

He was also quite power-hungry, having been a member of The Crimson Order and wanting to take over Grimsborough. He also wished to destroy Pacific Bay, which would of likely killed hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of innocent people.

Biography[]

Alden Greene was the CEO of Greene Holdings, a powerful conglomerate in Grimsborough that owned multiple companies, including Greene's Stock Trading Company, Greene Casino, Greene Banking, and Greene PharmaCorp.

Alden first appeared in Blood on the Trading Floor, where he granted investigators full access to Greene Casino as part of a murder investigation. Later, he was interrogated after the discovery of an unsigned contract between himself and the victim, Samuel Rye. Alden explained that he had been preparing to hire Samuel as a stock trader, but the contract was left unsigned due to Samuel’s murder.

In Family Blood, it was revealed that Alden was the father of Paul Greene and grandfather of Scott and Oliver Greene. His daughters-in-law were Margaret Greene and Aileen Greene. Alden never trusted Aileen and hired a private detective to dig into her past, discovering her drug history and secret financial dealings with a man named Tom Hunt. He intended to warn Paul about her but never had the chance. When Scott Greene murdered Aileen, Alden was upset but ultimately accepted that the investigators had no choice but to sentence his grandson to 20 years in prison. Later, Alden requested the team’s help in purchasing and demolishing an abandoned house across from his grandson’s home, leading them to realtor Dave Simmons—whom Jones warned Alden to be cautious around.

In The Kiss of Death, Alden’s name appeared in Emma Ternon’s phonebook, linking him to Rozalina Davidov’s call girl service. Rachel Priest wanted to use this connection to expose Alden, believing he was hiding something significant. This tied into a larger plot revealing that Alden, alongside General James Marsh, was secretly developing a super-soldier serum using Greene PharmaCorp’s resources. When Rachel discovered this plan, Alden murdered her by injecting her with the serum—designed only for men—causing her to die instantly from uncontrollable bone growth. Alden and Marsh were later convicted of Rachel’s murder and sentenced to life in prison.

Despite his sentence, Alden resurfaced in A Shot of Beauty, having been released on a $5,000 bond due to a procedural violation. This infuriated Jones, who suspected Alden of bribery. During the investigation, Alden admitted to having plastic surgery but denied any wrongdoing. Though eventually cleared in this case, Jones became obsessed with bringing Alden down, a fixation that worried even Chief King.

In It All Ends Here, a cigar found at a crime scene was traced back to Alden, but he was ultimately proven innocent when Chief King confessed to the murder of Adam Bentley and later committed suicide out of guilt.

Alden’s final major involvement in Grimsborough occurred during There Will Be Blood, where he was arrested at a Crimson Order ritual. It was revealed that Alden had been laundering the Order’s gold and hoped to use its wealth to control the city. Judge Olivia Hall sentenced Alden to life imprisonment in solitary confinement for his role in centuries of Order-related crimes.

Surprisingly, Alden reappeared in The Sting of Death, now working for Meteor Systems while hiding in a secret bunker in The Wastes. He revealed his nihilistic desire to destroy Pacific Bay, claiming that humanity itself was the problem. Even after months in solitary confinement, Alden had bribed his way out of prison and murdered Karen with scorpions when she opposed his plan. When confronted, Alden remained cryptic, saying that destroying Pacific Bay was part of a greater promise. His vague answers angered Amy, but before he could reveal anything more, Frank shot and killed Alden mid-sentence, finally putting an end to his schemes.
