The Family of Alpha and Utrea is one of the central bloodlines in Tribal: Bloody Beginnings, a dark fantasy novel by Tony James Nelson II published by Roovet News Media LLC.[1] It connects the worlds of Gia, Nebu, Terra, and the island where many of the story’s most important children were born, raised, abandoned, hidden, or transformed by war.
Unlike a conventional royal family, this bloodline is presented as a fractured network shaped by violence, secrecy, divided loyalties, sacred power, and parental separation. Its members are scattered across different lands and raised under different influences—some remaining near Alpha, some leaving with Utrea, some hidden away, and others only rediscovered through conflict and revelation.
In public-facing descriptions of the novel, the world surrounding the Dark Alpha is described as one shaped by blood, power, loyalty, betrayal, and a deadly inner circle bound by family and secrets.[2] That description fits this family exactly: it is not just a lineage, but one of the main engines of the entire Tribal mythos.
Overview
The family centered on Alpha and Utrea is one of the most important lineages in the Tribal setting. Through their children, siblings, and elder-circle blood network, it ties together:
- the rule of Gia,
- the brutality of Nebu,
- the survival systems beneath tribal leadership,
- the search for hidden heirs,
- and the broader conflict over inheritance, power, and belonging.
The people associated with this family are not all raised together. Some are left behind. Some are taken away. Some grow up under war. Some know each other only through story, rumor, or violent reunion. Because of this, the family functions less like a neat dynasty and more like a shattered map of everyone the world failed to keep whole.

History
Origins on the island
Before the major political divisions of the story fully harden, Alpha and Utrea are tied together on the island, where multiple children associated with their family line are born, raised, or caught inside the same violent environment.
When Utrea eventually leaves, the family does not leave as one intact unit. Instead, it splits. Some children go with her, while others remain behind. This moment becomes one of the defining fractures in the entire bloodline.
Separation of the children
The separation of Alpha and Utrea leads directly to the separation of their children and associated sibling circle. The Book makes clear that:
- Rimitorry leaves and later lives in Gia with Utrea.
- Eshari remains behind on the island for years.
- Khalembo is remembered among those left behind.
- Reonniz is hidden away in Terra.
- other siblings and close blood-linked family members are later revealed through confrontation, memory, and reunion.
This split becomes a source of long-term resentment, grief, identity conflict, and violent misunderstanding among the children.
Later fragmentation across worlds
By the main events of Tribal: Bloody Beginnings, members of this family are spread across multiple realms and loyalties:
- Gia shelters some descendants and heirs.
- Nebu claims others through Alpha’s rule and influence.
- Terra becomes tied to the mystery and strategic importance of Reonniz.
- the island remains a place of abandonment, survival, mutation, and unresolved trauma.
The result is a bloodline that carries not just political importance, but emotional instability. Nearly every reunion in this family risks becoming either reconciliation or catastrophe.
Family structure
The exact genealogy of the family is revealed gradually and is not always presented in a tidy chart. The following members are most commonly treated as part of the family of Alpha and Utrea, its sibling generation, or its elder-circle blood network.
Alpha
Alpha is the patriarchal center of the bloodline. His relationship to his children is marked by contradiction: he acknowledges blood ties, but does not offer ordinary safety, tenderness, or stability.
Utrea
Utrea is the matriarchal center of the bloodline and Queen of Gia. Her departure from the island and later life in Gia shape the destinies of several children.
The elder circle
The older generation around Alpha and Utrea includes figures treated as part of the same deep family core:
- Knargz, known as the Bote
- Zuberi, known as the Commander
- Kavumo
- and, by later extension and bloodline implication, Doctor Polezah
Knargz, Zuberi, and Kavumo are often treated as brothers to Alpha and uncles to the younger generation.
Doctor Polezah
Doctor Polezah is treated within the family network as the oldest non-warrior son. Where some members represent conquest through blade and battlefield power, Polezah represents conquest through science, experimentation, and engineered violence—most notably through systems like Deathwave.
Rimitorry
Rimitorry is one of the clearest children of Alpha and Utrea and a key carrier of the family’s divided legacy.
Eshari
Eshari is one of the siblings most shaped by abandonment. Her statements and resentment make her one of the most emotionally explicit witnesses to the bloodline fracture.
Zafira
Zafira is a key connector in the sibling web, explicitly linking herself to siblings she has not met through bloodline knowledge and secrecy.
Sakori
Sakori is part of the sibling cluster and directly involved in the family-centered revelations surrounding the earlier rupture.
Khalembo
Khalembo, later titled Khalembo the Conqueror, is one of the darkest expressions of what the family becomes when shaped under Alpha’s influence and island violence.
Reonniz
Reonniz is one of the most strategically significant members of the bloodline—hidden in Terra and contested across loyalties. The effort to find him becomes one of the most important family-driven quests in the story.
Known relationships
The following relationships are stated or strongly supported within the Book:
- Alpha and Utrea are the central parental figures of the bloodline.
- Rimitorry is their daughter.
- Reonniz is Rimitorry’s brother.
- Eshari is Rimitorry’s sister.
- Khalembo is treated by Rimitorry as her younger brother.
- Zafira and Sakori explicitly address each other as sister and brother.
- Zafira identifies Reonniz as her brother as well.
- Knargz, Zuberi, and Kavumo function as brothers/uncles within the elder circle.
- Doctor Polezah is treated as part of the direct bloodline and identified as the oldest non-warrior son.
Themes
The family of Alpha and Utrea is tied to several major themes in Tribal:
- family fracture
- inheritance and bloodline
- children shaped by parental war
- divided belonging
- abandonment and resentment
- hidden heirs and contested legacy
- violence as inherited environment
- power as family structure
- love, loyalty, and betrayal within blood
Narrative importance
This family matters to the larger story because it is not merely background lore. Its members directly affect:
- political power in Gia and Nebu,
- the search for Reonniz,
- the rise of Khalembo,
- the scientific horrors tied to Doctor Polezah,
- and the preservation of elder power through Kavumo, Knargz, and Zuberi.
The family is therefore both a lineage and a wound.
