Overview
Alma Wade is the main antagonist and mascot of the F.E.A.R. series of first-person shooter horror video games by Monolith Productions. F.E.A.R. was introduced in 2005. The plot of the series revolves around the mystery of Alma. She is a psychic who seeks revenge against Armacham Technology Corporation, due to their usage of her in a series of experiments.
In video games
Alma Wade initially appears to the player as an eight-year-old girl wearing a red dress and has a blank, mask-like face almost completely obscured by long black hair. In the final part of the first game (and some preceding visions), her appearance changes to that of a naked, emaciated adult woman. As Alma is a powerful psychic, it is not clear as to whether Alma is real, or if she only exists in the minds of the people seeing her. Bloody footprints can be found in some of the places where she walks. She can also be briefly visible on a CCTV monitor in the treatment plant, in the same room where Bill Moody was interrogated.
Alma was born on August 26, 1979, and was a severely troubled child with tremendous psychic powers who suffered nightmares and was attuned to the negative emotions of the people around her. Her father, Harlan Wade, noticed her powers not long after birth and introduced her to Armacham Technology Corporation's experiments when she was three years old. Armacham tested Alma for every type of psychic power, and she passed all tests. At the age of five, Alma began to purposefully fail Armacham's tests. When she was six, she set fire to a lab in the Project Origin facility and began to attack the scientists experimenting on her by using her psychic powers. The scientists began to suffer delusions, sudden mood changes, and vivid nightmares. When Armacham realized that the only thing stopping Alma from doing much worse things to the scientists was her young age, they devised a plan to keep her alive but unable to psychically attack anyone.
