Flux

Flux is a fictional character in the Skannerz universe. According to the instruction manual for the original Skannerz, Flux was the first person to discover the aliens on Earth and invented of the Skannerz as a way of tracking and capturing the monsters for the purpose of keeping them from blowing up/destroying the Earth like they did to their own planet. Throughout the manual, Flux gives advice to the player/players through "Secret Flux Hints".

Flux comes back in the Skannerz Commander instruction manual when the aliens have apparently given up the three original tribes and are now trying to form their own tribes, so Flux invented a stronger device to try and control the rogue aliens.

Theory
While there has never been any official connection, the comic that came with the original Skannerz features a young boy in glasses who seemingly invents the Skannerz. This would mean that the boy in the comic is Flux.
