Alessio Bowles

Alessio "Dish" Bowles was a rifleman during the Third Tiberium War. He was in the 22nd Infantry Division on the Kodiak and commanded by Michael McNeil. His entire family had left for Nod territory and severed all ties to him after he joined GDI. He hired a private investigator (who became a good friend of his) to help him track them down- with little success. He served with Ricardo Vega and Gallagher and became good friends of theirs during the war. He fought in San Diego, Madagascar, Australia, and many other locales during the war. He was a decisive part in saving Joe Takeda from Nod Captain Al-Rashan. While he fought valiantly at all locales, he was never promoted from Private because GDI thought that if he had too high a rank he could leak information to his family in GDI. This caused conflicts between Vega and Gallagher, because Gallagher believed that Vega was being promoted because of his heritage, and Bowles was actually fighting and not getting promoted. Before the Scrin invasion, his private investigator thought they tracked down his mother, but it was not her and she advised him to give up the search. He did not. During the last battle of the war, he was exposed to tiberium. A W3N reporter named Penny Widmore was on the scene and at his request filmed his last moments to broadcast to his family, if they were ever found, detailing his anger toward them because they abandoned him and worshipped the very thing that killed him.
