Alex was born to a family of medicine doctor and professor of history at Planet Cambridge. He was raised in college campus in a spirit of freedom of thought and expression. At 18, Alex attended a medical college to study neurology and neurosurgery. He graduated 6 years later and was sent to planet Sprague for internship in a colony's hospital. It was some months before Rheinland fleet supported by Nomads commenced bombardment of Sprague and invaded Cambridge system.

Weeks and months of jumping between stations, running blockades and waiting sieges to lift.. Alex lost count of them, and of people around him starved, dead from wounds, killed by the enemy and killing ruthlessly only to live another day. His family was evacuated from Cambridge, but he could never find the transport they were at: it was lost somewhere in ice fields trying to reach New London.

Finally, he ended up in Magellan, at Freeport 4. He hired as a doctor to the station's hospital and worked there to the best of his ability. He assumed Zoner views and lifestyle, as his trust in government bodies of the Sirius was destroyed.

In the next 20 years, he travelled between Freeports, working here and there, providing medical help where it was required, and hauling medical supplies to the most remote regions of Omicrons and Omegas. He sometimes remained for years at some station, and sometimes changed a half a dozen in a month.

Alex is reserved person, he doesn't talk too much and when he does, his statements are short and concrete. He's still pretty capable as therapist, though his neurology skills are a bit rusty. He possesses a cautious curiosity for Nomads, as he have seen them in very different situations. He also very cautious to all House authorities, as he's not confident about their competence at all.

Alex enjoys solitude of long travels through space, and even his crew sometimes doesn't see him for days during especially far trips. He's by no means a combat pilot, although he'd been in several fights, he can't boast of many wins. Most of the time he considers himself a winner if he can just avoid a fight.
