Alec Cerine (Joshua Lane Character)

Alec Cerine is a recurring character in the web serial Joshua Lane, he is the boyfriend of Jennifer Catherine. At one time a lead figure in VeroSoft Industries, Cerine makes a number of enemies throughout his time in power. Originally suspected to be a member of the Pipeline, Cerine is later revealed to have been working to uncover the hidden truths of their operations, thus betraying their ultimate intentions. This betrayal would lead to his murder at the hands of the Pipeline, as well as indirectly launching the events of the fifth episode of the first season of the series, entitled "Buffalo".
== Representation ==
Alec Cerine is portrayed as a very wealthy man with an inability to commit to relationships. Only when his involvement with unearthing the truths of the Pipeline would be discovered, would the motivation for his lack of commitment be more understandable.
== Consequences and Fate ==
Cerine's actions would lead to the events of the entire fifth episode of the first season. This would partially lead Joshua Lane to the opportunity that would allow him to kill Lt. Eric Devine, which would be taken by Eliza Bradburry. Cerine's actions prior to the start of the series would essentially kickstart the entire series, as the truths that would lead to Lane targeting Warren Duane would not have been uncovered had it not been for Cerine's discoveries indirectly falling into Joshua Lane's knowledge.
Cerine would be stabbed to death in the middle of a populated place by unnamed members of the Pipeline upon the discovery of his betrayals.
