## History

### Background

Alexander Wilder was born in early 2001 to Catherine and Geoffrey Wilder. Growing up in a rich family, Alex became best friends with the other children PRIDE members: Amy and Nico Minoru, Chase Stein, Molly Hernandez, Gertrude Yorkes and Karolina Dean. Like the rest of his friends, Alex remained unaware of PRIDE's charity events were just a front and that their true nature was making teenage sacrifices to the villain, Jonah in order to revive him.

Alex was aware that his father was granted amnesty for a murder he was accused of. However, unbeknownst to him, Geoffrey got where he wanted in life when. Mr. Wilder made a deal with his best friend, Darius Davis agreed to take the fall for it in exchange for his family's future. However, Wilder never held up his end of the bargain in order for his own family to survive.

At fifteen years old, when Alex and Amy were playing games at their favorite coffee shop, Amy realized her tablet was starting to go slow. Alex logged onto it to see the problem and noticed she had been hacked. Alarmed, Amy took her tablet and urgently left the coffee shop. The next day, Alex learned from Nico that Amy had apparently committed suicide. Traumatized by the loss of his friend, he chose not to attend her funeral, something which sparked the end of his friendship with the other teenagers. It was especially Chase who developed resentment towards Alex for their friendship ending.
