Alexander Mackenzie was born into a family with a strong military tradition. His father and grandfather both served in the U.S. Army, instilling in him a sense of duty and honor from a young age. Growing up, he idolized military heroes and was fascinated by stories of bravery and strategy. This passion led him to enroll in a military academy, where he excelled both academically and physically.
Mackenzie's career took off rapidly. He distinguished himself in various operations around the globe, earning a reputation for his tactical brilliance and unwavering resolve. His relentless pursuit of excellence and his ability to make tough decisions under pressure caught the attention of his superiors, leading to his rapid ascent through the ranks. In the 90's he fought in the Gulf War and as well as fighting in Maiduya during the late 90's.
By his early-40s, Mackenzie had already become a celebrated figure within the military, known for his iron will and no-nonsense approach. It was around this time that the rise of superhumans began to become more prevalent again after the Star-Hive Event. As the world grappled with the emergence of individuals with extraordinary abilities, the U.S. government sought ways to incorporate these assets into their strategic plans.
Mackenzie was tasked with overseeing a special division focused on understanding and integrating superhuman capabilities into the military. It was during this period that he first encountered Enrico Rodriguez, known as Diamond-Man. Recognizing the young hero's potential and the strategic advantage his abilities could provide, Mackenzie took him under his wing.

He became a mentor to Diamond-Man, providing him with the discipline and strategic thinking necessary to maximize his abilities.

While Mackenzie is a stern and demanding mentor, his tough exterior hides a deep-seated respect and care for Enrico. He pushes Diamond-Man to his limits, believing that only through rigorous training and discipline can he truly harness his potential. Mackenzie’s mentorship is not just about training a superhero but about molding a leader who can make critical decisions in the heat of battle.
