History
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes: Firestorm
Alpha-Omega was a San Francisco-based domestic terrorist group which arose during the later stages of the Monkeygate scandal and the start of the Simian Flu Pandemic. The organization believed that the Flu was a "blessing" which they should assist in "cleansing" the world of those they deemed impure. The group first rose to prominence by torching a quarantine area in Alameda Point, resulting in the deaths of 500 people and the injuring of hundreds more. One of the perpetrators was apprehended by Dreyfus, who interrogated him and discovered that Alpha/Omega members believed that their survival was due to being immune to the virus, though this was proven wrong when Dreyfus' prisoner was revealed to be infected himself.
War for the Planet of the Apes: Revelations
Ten years later, U.S. Army Colonel McCullough and his son John are patrolling the ruins of San Francisco and come across a wall with graffiti, bearing the Greek letters Alpha and Omega. Colonel McCullough tells John about a group that burned down quarantine zones. While not mentioned by name, the group is heavily implied to be Alpha-Omega.
