Appearance

His first appearance is in The Lost Spark (Book 2 of The Broken World) where he is described as having honey colored skin. Mid length charcoal black hair that's brushed back, and rich brown eyes. His appearance is noted as giving him the look of someone who might be from one of the southern islands of the East. His clothing tends to follow a pattern of retro khaki fatigues, brown leather combat boots, and a green keffiyeh worn around the neck.

Personality

Having grown up in a harsh environment, Alex is about the mission. He does what he's told, and rarely objects. However this is not because he's overly agreeable. He believes in the Explorers and their mission wholeheartedly. He's apt to go off on his own, but not in a rogue, or arrogant way. His job as a ranged gunman has taught him that he needs to keep an eye out for the big picture. Having M'natherine as a mentor has taught him to be a little more relaxed and for the most part he is, except when it comes to feeling a little jealous about a certain girl.

Attributes and Abilities

History

Born in the South, Alex grew up in a desperate struggle for survival. Surrounded by tribal wars in the desert lands that he grew up in, Alex learned to steal and take whatever he needed to make it through the day. His parents died or disappeared early into his childhood, and he went from town to town getting help while he could. Inevitably, the towns he visited barely had enough to feed themselves, much less many of the other starving children who passed through. Eventually he came through a bar, and saw a foreign woman, drinking to her hearts content. He attempted to steal from her only to discover that she was a member of the renowned Explorer's Guild in the East. M'natherine realized his skills of survival, and his ability to fight, so she took pity on him, and trained him. Together the two of them assisted a Nomad Tribe against an army of bandits in the Vaskeer desert. A firefight that lasted thirty days. Afterwards, M'natherine brought him to the East, where he now operates as an Explorer.
