Ok but why adding "the alien" into the name when like half of the characters are aliens? DISCUSSION

Maybe they see Unopans as more "Alien" than other aliens. I, for one, haven't seen any other cyclops species in the show besides them. There's also the fact that Allan and Alien sound a lot alike. Maybe Kirkman just thought it was funny or something.

also, he travels to more planets that most species ever do for his "job." he probably is used to being the only alien around
