Alister and his brother managed to survive. In the original Japanese, there was a war going on between two countries and Gozaburo Kaiba supplied the weapons to both sides. In the English Version, Alister's mother (seen only briefly during the 150th episode inside his locket) and his brother, [[Mikey]], were eventually captured.

In the Japanese version, his brother was killed when the tank he was in blew up. Alister has hated [[Seto Kaiba]] ever since and has designated him as his target. [[Dartz]] found him and offered him the chance to join his organization.
