== Early life ==
Alik Musa Shishani II was born on 23 January 1987 to Tajik Army Technical Sergeant turned Chechen independence fighter Major General Alik Shishani I and Sepi Shishani in Viaroubau, Northeast Chechen Territory. He received very little education through his prepubescent years due to him living in a small insurgent encampment during the Chechen War of Liberation, in which his father was killed. When he got to secondary school he showed high signs of intelligence. He wanted to go to the Royal Air Academy but his mother forbade him from joining any type of military service. So his next option was the Royal College of Pondalton, there he received his Masters in Science. He would go to work in a lab until the Third Chechen War began.
