Alisha Evans

Alisha Evans is one of the main characters in The Deathwave Series, Into the Unknown Season 1 and 2. She is portrayed by Arrow.

Alisha was originally working for a company called GENETEC, before joining NEXUS in 2025 as lead scientist specialising in biology, chemistry and genetics. During the Deathwave in 2030, she works on the Dios project alongside John Millard and Clarke Emerson. After Matteo Carter threatens to kill Clarke, Alisha helps him escape NEXUS and later continues his project to capture Dios and save the world. Between the Deathwave and Into The Unknown: Season 1, a deadly virus wipes out majority of the human population. For most of this time, Alisha was put into Cryo Sleep 3 times, each lastly 6 years to prevent ageing, catching the virus and to work further on Dios through computer simulation. After waking from her first time in Cryo Sleep, she discovers she's pregnant with Matteo Carter's child, who is later revealed as Jaxson Carter.

Before entering Cryo Sleep for a second time, Matteo hands their child over to another woman who cares for him in a bunker far away in the middle of the wasteland. At this point Alisha and Matteos relationship has completely fallen apart as she is heart broken for all he has done over the years. She continues to work for NEXUS despite all that has happened to save her life, but throughout Season 1 she makes dangerous sacrifices.

Alisha returns to the ITU universe in Into the Unknown: Season 1, when she rescues Samuel from his inevitable death. She decided to save him since he was brought in with Ellie, who she recognises from The Deathwave: Part 3, and knows she's important. After finding Ellie, Alisha and the rest of Ellie's group reunite. She chose to stay with the group to keep an eye on Ellie, along with being suspicious with Jaxson, however she is unaware it is her son. In the finale episode of season 1, she betrays Ellie's group to return to NEXUS before a massive nuke is dropped on the area. Matteo had got in contact with her prior to her betrayal, threatening her with this line. "'Miss Evans... If you don't get back to NEXUS... You know what will happen to him…' - Matteo Carter"It was never stated who he was referring to, but after The Deathwave Series, it's clear he's referring to Clarke Emerson, who remains in Cryo Sleep.
