## Overview

### Personality

Alex is witty, fun-loving, and sociable, yet intelligent and professional when the situation demands it. Ernesto Ibarra and Nelson have been friends since they worked for the government but they never hang out like he used to with Jacob. Ernesto appreciates that Alex supported and helped him to capture his former friend Jacob in order to give him an antidote to get rid of his super powers, which reveals that he is loyal to whom he considers his friends or allies. The two friends were determined to form their own team and fight against Jacob's team when he threatened to attack the government for their injustice against him.

He can also be described as a hardened and confident survivor, as he fought to death in the Battle of Jean Paul Genie Street, not caring if he dies in battle as long as he dies doing the right thing, however this lead up to his own death when Ezequiel revealed himself as a former agent of Kesler and killed every member that survived the battle at that point, Alex included.

At one point of his life he began working for the government and as time progressed he went up in rank to such an extent that he was almost at the same level as Ernesto Ibarra, which leads to them meeting up and forming a work friendship.

## History

#### **Ernesto vs Jacob: Ultimate Battle**

After Jacob refused to get rid of his super powers by taking an antidote and attacking Ernesto Ibarra and Ezequiel, he was now considered a fugitive from the law and Ernesto was tasked to capture Jacob and bring him to justice.

Jacob threatened Ernesto that he would form a team of mercenaries and they would attack the government for their injustice until he knocks some sense into them, so Ernesto had no option but to also form his own team to stop Jacob's plans, so he phoned his friend from work Alex and explained him the current situation, Alex immediately agreed to help him and told him that they should meet at his house to plan what they are going to do.

When Alex arrived at Ernesto's house, he helped him decide about who to include in their team, however after some hours recruiting people, they felt that their team was no big enough, so Ernesto said that he wishes that Jarliev was still there to help him in this situation. Alex suggested him that they could revive him with a Resurrection Stone, however, Ernesto told him that they can only be used once and that they already used one to revived him before, but Alex confirmed that there are multiple Resurrection Stones around the world and that there must be another one in the country; Ernesto was shocked from hearing that and immediately began researching about the possible location of the other Resurrection Stone.

Some days later later, Ernesto called and told him that he found out where the resurrection stone could be, so he accompanied him to the Blackgrass Sanctuary and they and began searching for the Resurrection Stones in the ruins of the place, after a while, Ernesto found a shine coming from the debris, when he pushed them away, he was amazed to see that he found the Resurrection Stone, however before he could leave, Jacob ambushed Ernesto and Alex telling them to stop.

Ernesto asked Jacob what he was doing there, so he replied that he won't let them revive Jarliev only to make him fight in their team, so Ernesto told him that he won't let Jacob prevent him from seeing his cousin again, so they proceed to fight in which Jacob was winning because of his powers and managed to knocked out Alex with a punch, after seeing that, Ernesto tackled Jacob and sedated him with a syringe he brought with him; Ernesto then helped Alex get up and leaved the place with the Resurrection Stone.

Alex and Ernesto returned home after escaping the sanctuary, once there Ernesto prepared the resurrection ritual in a similar way Kesler did it to resurrect him before and after resurrecting Jarliev successfully, he thanked Ernesto and told him that it feels great to be alive again. Ernesto didn't told him anything about the Jacob situation yet because Jarliev needed to reintegrate himself to the world and to learn basic things how to walk and fight again because he spent a long time dead, Alex introduced himself to Jarliev and told him that he also works for the government like Ernesto, but he didn't told him about Jacob either.

One day later, Jacob came to Ernesto's house and attacked Ernesto and Jarliev, they managed to defeat Jacob however he escaped and left Jarliev badly hurt, so Ernesto finally explained Jarliev the current situation. Alex was not present during the attack, but he felt guilty that he wasn't there to help Ernesto, so to make up for it he tried even harder to get more recruits for the team.

A few days later Alex, Ernesto, Jarliev and the team were making a plan to ambush Jacob and his team, his plan consisted in capturing a member of Jacob's team and make him inform Jacob to meet in a place and then they would ambush them there. The Government gave Ernesto a special suit that would increase his abilities in order to have a better chance to fight Jacob without having superpowers.

Alex was with Ernesto and his team when they used a satellite to track Jacob's team and then they found out that they were being hiding in the woods. Alex accompanied them when they traveled to the woods and waited for a member of Jacob's team to pass around the place, so a few hours later they successfully captured one member, the member told them that there is nobody else there and that he was alone, so Ernesto told him to call Jacob to make him call a meeting with all the members of his team, so the member feeling powerless, sent Jacob a text message telling him to meet up with their team at Jean Paul Genie Street.

Alex witnessed a member of their team killing the surrendering member of Jacob's team when they shot him in the head, even though they were enemies he was shocked and disgusted with that act but he was determinate to ambush the rest of Jacob's team.

Later on, Alex arrived to the Jean Paul Genie Street with Ernesto and their team, there he was present when they ambushed Jacob's team and they pointed their weapons with each other while Ernesto and Jacob exchanged a few words, Jacob informed Ernesto that he found out that Kesler had a secret crime organization named K.E.S.E. and that it is still active, so he needs his help to fight them before they attack, however Ernesto didn't believe him and counted them to five to give up or otherwise, they will attacked them.

Jacob tried to reason with Ernesto by saying that if they don't attack K.E.S.E. they would be the ones attack them, but Ernesto didn't listened to him and attacked them, then they had a fight of huge proportions with grenades, gunshots, swords and explosions and destruction around the place.

Alex fought in the battle and killed several members of Jacob's team, he couldn't help Ernesto to fight directly against Jacob because he was fighting against the rest of Jacob's team. He managed to survive the battle until the almost final phase of the fight, however he was already exhausted and likely hurt.

When Jacob managed to defeat Ernesto and left him behind after finally taking the antidote, he couldn't help Ernesto to get up because he was also wounded after the battle. Then he saw a helicopter landing and Ernesto's boss from the government getting out of it, the boss was angry because the orders was to also capture Jacob and not just giving him the antidote, so he revealed Ernesto that he used to work for Kesler and that he worked undercover inside the government, after revealing that, he gunned down the few survivors of the battle with his gun including Alex. He tried to kill Ernesto too, however he got saved by a wounded Jarliev who shot him in the head.

A few weeks later, Ernesto held a press conference where he was revealing to the audience what really happened at the Battle of Jean Paul Genie Street. Ernesto mentioned Alex as one of the "several of good young agents who were only obeying orders"  that died because of the secret crime organization called The K.E.S.E. that was lead by Kesler when he was alive. Ernesto decided to honor Alex's death when he proposed to wipe out the rest of K.E.S.E. and avenge him from them.

#### **Ernesto vs Jacob: The Awakening**

Two years after his death at the hands of Ezequiel and after Ernesto and his team avenged his death when they successfully wiped out The K.E.S.E., Ernesto indirectly mentioned him in his speech when he said "*we suffered casualties, we lost several good government agents"* when they were celebrating their second anniversary of their victory against Kesler.

## Relationships

### **Ernesto Ibarra**

Alex and Ernesto knew each other since they worked for the government and they established a work friendship between them.

Even though they were not very close to hang out, he was loyal to Ernesto and supported him when Ernesto was assigned to capture Jacob and bring him to the justice for attacking him and not taking the "A L 2" Serum Antidote.

Alex helped Ernesto to form a team to stop Jacob and proposed Ernesto to resurrect his cousin Jarliev to incorporate him to the team too after explaining him that there are multiples Resurrection Stones around the world, which further enhanced their friendship to the point that Ernesto considered him as his right hand man.

After finding the resurrection stone in the Blackgrass Sanctuary, Jacob trying to stop them appeared and knocked out Alex, which angered Ernesto to the point that he tackled Jacob and sedated him with a syringe he brought with him, Ernesto then helped Alex get up and they left the place with the Resurrection Stone.

After arriving to Ernesto's home from the Blackgrass Sanctuary, he helped Ernesto as he could to resurrect Jarliev and once they did that, he respected Ernesto's decision to not tell Jarliev anything about the Jacob situation yet.

After Jacob came to Ernesto's house and attacked both Ernesto and Jarliev, he felt heavily guilty for not being there to help him, so to make up for it he worked even harder to get more recruits for their team.

Some days after Jacob's attack in Ernesto's house, he accompanied Ernesto and the team to track down Jacob's team in the woods and supported Ernesto's plan to capture one member of the team of Jacob and make him call a meeting with the whole team in a place in order to ambush them there, which means that he respected Ernesto as a leader and was willing to follow his leadership.

Later on, he fought in the Battle of Jean Paul Genie Street supporting Ernesto and their team, however he ended up dying after Ernesto's boss revealed himself as a former agent of Kesler and then killed him, which reveals that he died fighting for his friend Ernesto and doing what he believes was the right thing.

Alex's death at the hands of Ezequiel left Ernesto devastated and promised himself that he would avenge his death by wiping out the rest of The K.E.S.E. agents, which he ultimately did and succeeded.

### **Jacob**

After Jacob refused to take the "A L 2" Serum Antidote and attacked both Ernesto and Ezequiel, he considered Jacob as a powerful enemy who needed to be stopped, so he supported and joined Ernesto to capture him and give him the antidote.

He first met Jacob when he ambushed him and Ernesto at the Blackgrass Sanctuary when they were trying to find a Resurrection Stone for Jarliev, he tried to attack Jacob but he ended up getting knocked out by a punch from him.

One day after resurrecting Jarliev, Jacob came to Ernesto's house and attacked both Ernesto and Jarliev, Alex felt guilty for not being there to stop Jacob and to make up for it he worked even harder to get more recruits for their team to stop Jacob.

Some days later, he helped Ernesto to track down Jacob's team in the woods and agreed to capture one member of his team and make him call a meeting with the rest of Jacob's team in one place to ambush them all there, however after doing it, one member of his team shot and killed the member of Jacob's team leaving Alex shocked and disgusted, which reveals that even though the member was from the enemy side, he didn't wanted to kill any surrendering member and only wanted to capture Jacob.

Some hours later he alongside Ernesto's team ambushed Jacob and his team at Jean Paul Genie Street, there he fought to death against his team. When Jacob managed to defeat Ernesto and left the place after finally taking the antidote, Alex couldn't help Ernesto or stop Jacob from leaving because he was either hurt or exhausted.

Alex didn't lived to see that Jacob was telling the truth about the K.E.S.E. members being infiltrated in the government and other organizations across the country, however it is implied that he would have forgiven Jacob and join him and Ernesto to fight against The K.E.S.E. when they declared a war.

### **Ezequiel**

Alex and Ezequiel worked for the government but it is unknown what was the work relationship between them. Alex was unaware of Ezequiel being an infiltrated agent inside the government, so he considered him an ally at first and even supported Ernesto to capture Jacob after the latter attacked Ernesto and Ezequiel.

During the final phase of the Battle of Jean Paul Genie Street, Ezequiel landed in a helicopter and then revealed Ernesto that he used to be an agent for Kesler, so he gunned down every survivor of the battle, including the shocked and wounded Alex who was staring at him from the afar.

### **Jarliev**

Even though they didn't had much interaction, Jarliev was revived thanks to Alex because he knew there were more resurrection stones they could use to bring him back and then accepted him on their team to stop Jacob.

He accompanied Jarliev and the team in some missions, like tracking down Jacob's team in the woods and then he fought alongside him and their team against Jacob and his team during the Battle of Jean Paul Genie Street.

Jarliev was saddened by his death after the battle and then supported Ernesto to avenge his death by wiping out The K.E.S.E. members, which they ultimately successfully did.
