It depends on what you mean by "in them".
PathfinderWiki lists #4-09 (Blakros Matrimony), #5-03 (Hellknight's Feast), #5-23 (Cairn of Shadows), and #6-10 (Wounded Wisp). But their criterion is just whether the scenario has the words "Onyx Alliance" in the text, which I consider to be too broad.
I've GMed #4-09, #5-03, and #5-23, and I would not say that the Onyx Alliance is "in" #4-09 or #5-03. I recently ran #2-11/#5-23 as a 2-parter and I think that is good as a series about the Onyx Alliance. I've run #4-09/#5-03 as a 2-parter and I think that is good as a series, but about the Blakros family and not the Onyx Alliance.
I have neither played nor GMed #6-10, so I can't say.
I have neither played nor GMed #10-18, and also didn't know it was a followup to #2-11 - I'm going to put that on my list to GM, and see if the group that played #2-11/#5-23 wants to reunite to make it a trilogy! (Thanks, Gary!)

It was a one time event at PaizoCon 2012 that featured LARPing elements and a large NPC cast performing various skits in addition to the standard tabletop features. One of my most cherished PFS memories.
Unless you've got a time machine it is not otherwise playable.

Yes, the plot of the Grand Convocation involves various factions lobbying the Blackros family on which suitor they should accept for their daughter.
Different PFS factions had different goals and influence was tabulated etc.
Olaf was only admitted into the lodge at the behest of Ambrus Valsin. Though wary of the man’s knowledge and intentions, Valsin relayed the information to the Decemvirate, who in turn instructed him to admit Olaf to the Grand Convocation. Believing Olaf ’s inclusion to be a political move by the Decemvirate intended to present a truly neutral party as a potential suitor, Valsin has designed a clever cover story for Olaf by admitting him as a judge of the attending Pathfinders’ exploits.
An unspoken overnight fiasco during one of Zarta Dralneen’s trips to Cheliax left Kastner indebted to the Paracountess. When news that Michellia Blakros was wooing Colson Maldris reached Zarta’s ears, she worked as best she could to undermine the relationship by pressuring the Pathfinder Society while secretly calling in her debt with Damian Kastner. Now, with the permission of the Order of the Scourge, the Paracountess has positioned Kastner to attend the Grand Convocation as a potential suitor for Michellia Blakros. Despite his own misgivings about such a demeaning assignment, Damian knows he is in debt of Zarta for past events, and hopes a future in Absalom will allow more frequent visits with the Paracountess.

Here's my stack of chronicles from the Grand Convocation along with the event card.
Let me tell you, very little beats having Lady Blakros pour out her drink on the hotel carpet in disgust at my refusal to kneel and provide my leg as a stool for her.

2-SP The Onyx Assault (Grand Convocation 4712) is pretty major to the story, but not available to play for credit.
Storywise it comes before the Blakros Matrimony (Involves selection of the groom) and based on the title is shockingly enough attacked by the Onyx alliance.
Is it allowed for you to tell me any information about the Onyx Alliance from that Special?

It's been quite some time, and I don't think there's a huge amount of background info. I do remember most of them being fetchlings. What sort of info are you looking for, maybe I can help.
Background information is mostly what I'm looking for actually. I ran #2-11 in my home game and was just wondering if there was more information about the group that I could incorporate into my home game.

Not really anything that's not covered by other scenarios I think, other than the commonality of fetchings among their ranks originating from Blakros daughters.
As mentioned before 10-18 The Daughter's Due is big on the storyline.
The daughters becoming fetchlings was something I had already decided that I definitely wanted to incorporate, based on other threads I had read on 2-11 although I didn't realize it had actually been spelled out.
