==Background Information==
Alexander Rafael Ruiz was born on June 1st, 1992, and raised in Phoenix, Arizona. His father was an Trauma Surgeon at Phoenix's Mayo Clinic Hospital while his mother was a stay-at-home mother. Throughout his early childhood, Alex had a profound interest in what his father did. He wanted to be just like his father, even through his early school years. He began shadowing his father whenever he could at the hospital, becoming somewhat of a regular around the Emergency Department there and always learning whatever he could from the Nurses and Doctors working there.
Alex graduated high school at 16 and went straight into college as a part of a six-year medical doctorate program. College was difficult for him, being so young. He largely felt out of place amongst his peers, but eventually found his niche with the students that would form his first tabletop gaming group. For the rest of his college years, he did well for himself grade-wise and even met his college sweetheart. He graduated with his doctorate and married his husband shortly after at 22 years old.
Continuing his education at the Phoenix Mayo Clinic Hospital as an Trauma Surgery Resident, Alex was confident. Far too confident. Alex had a difficult time as a Resident. He made a few bad calls, but nothing out of the ordinary for a Resident. Every death hit him hard, though, and Alex found himself having a difficult time separating himself emotionally from the people who would be his patients. Ever-stubborn, though, Alex pushed through and eventually completed his Residency at 24.
Trauma Surgery had taken it's toll on Alex, though, and he decided it best for his own mental health to leave the medical field-- at least temporarily. His father, while disappointed, supported him in this. Alex and his husband moved to Las Venturas, where Alex applied, and was accepted to, the Police Academy for the Las Venturas Sheriff's Department.
Alex went through Academy without too much trouble and was put out on the streets as an Deputy in Training. He came to love the line of work, and the fact that some level of connection with the individuals he was faced with was encouraged moreso than in Medicine.
Alex excelled as an officer, always eager to prove himself in whatever challenges laid before him. He worked closely with the 911 Dispatch office there, helping train other officers to more properly utilize the Dispatchers and what information was pertinent to go out over radio communications.
Three years after becoming a Deputy, Alex was offered a position on one of the LVSD's SWAT teams which he accepted. Though this took him away from patrol for some time, he came to love the camaraderie the team had. Two years later, he was made the Team Lead for LVSD SWAT's Red Team. He held that position for a year and a half when he was offered the position of Deputy Commissioner for the Las Venturas State Police.
As Deputy Commissioner, Alex spent the majority of his time parsing through what he could to make patrol safer and more effective. Though Alex felt he'd made a difference, Alex opted to retire from the position after a year and a half.
Shortly after his retirement from the Commissioner's Office, Alex's husband received a job offer from overseas to their shared delight. Alex found himself unsure of what to do with himself next, however. After a long conversation with his husband, Alex began searching for his next step. His gaze finally landed on Los Santos, a chaotic state that seemed to need all the help it could get. So Alex booked his ticket.
==Relationships==
