Rick Worthy, who plays the Alpha Vampire on Supernatural, speaks in a new interview about the “bigger conflict” that’s coming in season 8. Beware of spoilers.

Speaking to The Winchester Family Business, Worthy talks about what he expects to happen in season 8:

There’s a conflict that needs to happen between [Alpha] and the two brothers, but I think there’s also a bigger conflict that needs to happen, as well. There is a war coming, I believe, and hopefully he’s going to be part of it. Whose side he is going to be on, I think, is crucial to the survival of his character. So it may be that he makes some kind of an alliance with the Winchesters. But it’s the kind of an alliance that has a lot of gray in between. You know he can’t quite trust them, but you know they need him.

He also reveals that he knows the Alpha’s real name:

I know his name… his real true name. It’s a very, very long name and he comes from royal ancestry. So the way he eats and talks…everything about him is regal. And I hope there’s a chance for his name to come out. It will have to be totally worked out with the writers and producers. That is building an independent character with last and final secrets. They have a lot of secrets, and that’s probably one of the biggest ones because it’s the key to his origin… where he comes from.
