In The Yard, Alarcon is known as a Terrier who is the kind of pup who bites a problem just to confirm it is real. Alarcon keeps an old human photo of a smiling dog and human tucked away and treats it like evidence in a trial nobody scheduled. There is a long running rumor that Alarcon once swapped a piece of stitched fabric tooth for a better story and called the trade fair. Alarcon would rather collect quiet wins over a chip of blue tile from beneath the flying den than loud ones that nobody understands.
