“ | That human child could be useful. We'll be back, Milo Murphy! | ” |
— Alien Commander, "Managing Murphy's Law" |
The Alien Commander is an Octalian with an interest in Milo Murphy's negative probability ions.
She is voiced by Joanna Hausmann.
Personality
The Alien Commander is interested in Negative Probability Ions to the point she's willing to risk damage from Murphy's law to study it better. Initially, she argues against the Alien Pilot's cautious attitude when she wants to gather more intel. She appears to be annoyed that her company stuck her with such a cowardly crew.
Physical Appearance
The Alien Commander is a bright magenta Octalian with black eyes, teal lips, and similarly colored eyelids. She wears an outfit slightly different from her subordinate Octalians, being a deep violet with red highlights, rather than blue with red highlights. Also, unlike the red collars of her subordinates' outfit, the Commander's outfit has a double turtleneck line with red lines and a spot, as well as a kite-shaped cravat.
History
In "Managing Murphy's Law", she is in the middle of a routine scan of the planet when their ship gets too close to Milo Murphy, attracting their attention to the unusual amount of Negative Probability Ions he has. After gathering some Intel, she decides they will return later.
In "Milo's Shadow", she happens to see Balthazar Cavendish as he shouts aloud about the existence of aliens. Deciding he knows too much, she gives the instruction to 'remove him from the equation'.
In "Sick Day", she sends Loab and Khone on a mission to gather a tissue sample from Milo Murphy. After they fail, she goes herself and succeeds.
In "Abducting Murphy's Law", she abducts Milo Murphy, only for him to escape into the vents of the ship. She sends four Octalians in to search for him, listening to their reports as they 'disappear' one by one. The missing Octalians reappear before she can go after them herself, and she gets the opportunity to meet Milo under better circumstances. She is shot off in an escape pod alongside the other Octalians before she can bring Milo across the universe.
In "Milo in Space", she gives Khone and Loab their mission, expressing annoyance when Khone leaves in an escape pod instead. She escapes each of the destroyed ships alongside Loab and Milo, congratulating Loab when the plan succeeds, only to ask Milo for help when their final ship begins falling apart. When the crisis is averted, she decides to show Milo the reason they'd abducted him, only for the ship to receive major damage immediately after.
