Appointed the new D.A. after Chris Locke's assassination, Alan is the son of one of Loretta Wade's largest campaign contributors, Tyrone "Duke" Reston. Alan had campaigned for her, and in return she supported his bid for Deputy D.A. As a result, Alan has a hidden agenda in line with Senator Wager's, to the degree that he is not interested in right or wrong if it doesn't fit in with Loretta's vision.
