Little is known about Axl's past - not even Axl knows when or where he was created, and he is sometimes seen searching for answers to these questions. All he has learned so far is that he is a prototype of the new generation Reploids, which explains his body's Copy Chip. Axl's earliest memory is when he was found by Red, leading to him joining the vigilante syndicate Red Alert.

However, Red and the other members of Red Alert began to target even innocent Reploids because they're under the influence of Sigma. Disgusted by their actions, Axl left Red Alert to join the Maverick Hunters. Axl teamed up with X and Zero to put a stop to Red and Red Alert's plans. Later, they learned that Sigma was behind Red Alert's plans, so they defeated him once more. Axl wields the Axl Bullets, two pistols capable of rapid-fire shots.

She cares deeply for the members of her team and does her best to guide them through their missions without them being harmed. Alia rarely shows any weaknesses, but the Nightmare Incident revealed a deeper, more emotional part of her personality, where she blames herself for Gate's reasons for becoming a Maverick and trying to wipe out all low-level Reploids to create a new nation under his ideal. In particular, she regrets her ruthless involvement in the destruction of Blizzard Wolfang and the execution of Gate's business acquaintance Ground Scaravich, which contributed to the sabotage of Gate's work and eventual rebellion. Due to her past emotional confrontations and her scientific nature, Alia is a realist, claiming she does not believe in "miracles."

   Before joining the Maverick Hunters, Alia worked at a research lab in Reploid engineering. One of her closest colleagues was Gate, who was obsessed with the power and unanalyzable DNA of X and Zero. When Gate succeeded in making unanalyzable, super-powerful Reploids inspired by them, the rest of the research team became jealous or fearful. Though she later regretted it, Alia was drawn into a conspiracy by their supervisor to sabotage Gate's creations, either by trapping and destroying them during their missions or having them declared Maverick for dubious reasons. Alia was directly involved in the destruction of Blizzard Wolfang and the execution of Gate's business acquaintance Ground Scaravich, much to her chagrin. Once Gate bitterly quit the team, Alia chose to seek a fresh start and joined the Maverick Hunters as a navigator and engineer.

There was a incident where Gate returned and used the Nightmare phenomenon he created for his evil plans and revived his destroyed creations to help him with the Nightmare plans. X and Zero were able to put in an end to Gate's machinations.

   As a former Researcher, Alia is highly intelligent, possessing both advanced engineering and analytical skills. She is able to compile and construct new Armors when in possession of the necessary data provided by Dr. Light's holograms, and has even managed to reconstruct damaged Armors, although to date none of her reconstructions have ever been 100% complete. She has allegedly mastered every programming language. In combat, Alia is able to turn her arm into a buster arm cannon called "Alia Buster".
