Alex is a rational, initially timid guy who later develops an obsession for protecting his friends and lover Amaryll due to trauma. Alex often is able come up with solutions for issues the group has and also has wealth of knowledge useful in many scenarios. He acts timid to a degree, but this aspect of his personality is usually thwarted by circumstance. He has always shown a great care for his friends, but after being traumatized by Number 10 he developed an unhealthy and self-destructive obsession about it. This often leads him to take unusually rash decisions if it means he can improve his own self image in regards to his ability to protect others. He deals with reoccurring flashbacks due to PTSD which often make things worse. His own irrational self image is affirmed after the death of Alexia. However, it does seem as though he is on the road to recovery as he begins to reject his own subconscious taking the form of Number 10 suggesting that he is starting to unwire the connections in his brain made by the false scene presented to him by Number 10.

## Abilities

### Synat:

#### Force Sight:

Force Sight allows Alex to create force fields of various shapes and sizes although he does have a limit to the size. They are not impenetrable and can break however they provide a great amount of protection and are very good at absorbing the blow of an impact. It is possible that with time and practice he could strengthen his force fields; however, they will always have and upper limit. These force fields do have more creative uses such as creating platforms. This synat also allows for the storage and release of kinetic energy which Alex uses to great effect e.g. throwing knives which high speed and force or knocking the robot from Sy.N.A.T, Chapter 30: Mechanical Monstrosity into orbit. It doesn't seem like he has a limit to the amount he can store, but there may be a limit to the amount he can release at one time, although that limit may be very high. This synat also gives him visions in his dreams which can vary from precognitive to allowing him to see to other dimensions, although they almost always come in the form of dreams and as such are hard for him to remember. It also grants him the ability of night vision through infra-red sight as well as x-ray vision. It is possible he could manifest other sight related abilities if given time. This abilities also gives him a heightened sense of awareness when inside his own head to the point of near lucidity during visions and dreams to which his subconscious mentions in Sy.N.A.T In Chaos, Chapter 50 Part 1: Revelation & Recollection, noting that, "You seem to have quite the acute awareness as to when things are happening in your head." and, "Your synat allows you a very high level of awareness when inside your own mind. I imagine that if you didn’t I wouldn’t have to be so frank with you." Even going as far as the mention the fact that his own subconscious is forced to disclose things to him due to his ability.
