4. Beta

Beta is an instigator of Aloy’s sufferings or a tritagonist. She is another clone of Elisabet Sobeck and the genetic twin of Aloy. This character is used to get into the subfunctions of GAIA, Zero Dawn, and other FARO facilities.

She was isolated by the Far Zeniths and grew up overprotected by guardians. Though she believes Aloy expresses more traits than her, she knows that she can’t reach the standards of Elisabet. With that said, you’ll witness Beta’s personality crisis, which will be one of the game’s moving aspects.
