In the season opener, Alexander is first seen walking out of the church with a teacher. He has been reinstated as a student at the school following a generous donation from his father. He greets the other members of Forest Ridge, and sits with Wilhelm at lunch, where he tells him he suspects August set him up at the end of the winter term. In the evening he plays chess with Wille. In the second episode, he is seen walking with Wille when August is removed as prefect. In episode 3 and 4, he sits with Wilhelm at lunch. In episode 4, he laughs along with the other boys as Wilhelm's tryst with Felice is discovered. He attends the Valentine's Day ball, where August informs him that it was in fact Wille who let him take the fall for the drugs. In episode 5, Alexander is short with Wille at lunch, and he is later seen doing group work. In the final episode of the season, he is first seen telling August the time in the morning. August calls him into his room and later it is discovered that Alexander has agreed to take the fall for the video which August took and posted.

## Personality

Alexander acts as a lackey to primarily August, along with the other boys of noble standing or popular status. He is first seen helping August with greeting Erik and Wilhelm when they first arrive at Hillerska by taking Wilhelm's bags in by his request, and does so with pleasure. He takes no issue in letting Wilhelm in after his nighttime outing with Simon, and is happy to escort Wilhelm to meet with The Society, serve them drinks, and even carry their drugs on him, which is how he gets caught. It was even mentioned that he was supposed to let them back in after their party, showing how he serves to aid in their illegal activities. His intentions are never explicitly stated, though he most likely wants to be owed by the school's most elite students and viewed as a valuable, faithful asset to those with power.

Despite these students, his willingness to put himself at risk for the pleasure of those above him is what gets him expelled from Hillerska. When, at the end of season 2, he declares that he won't be messed with, he is ironically still being manipulated into taking the fall for August.

## Relationships

### Friends

#### Prince Wilhelm

In season 1, Wilhelm seems to be the only one of the Forest Ridge boys who treats Alexander with respect. He asks about his wellbeing, and does not automatically assume him to be of a lower class. However, unbeknownst to Alexander, Wilhelm chooses to sacrifice Alexander's place at Hillerska in favour of protecting Simon.

In season 2, Alexander has come back to the school, and assumes it was August who set him up to take the fall. Wilhelm does not correct this assumption, and the two spend time together throughout the season. However, during the Valentine's Day ball in Episode 2.4, August tells Alexander the truth. Alexander breaks off his friendship with Wilhelm, and later agrees to August's plan for him to take the fall for the video.

#### August

August never treats Alexander well, however at the end of season 2, Alexander agrees to take the fall for the video in August's place. It is unknown what August said to convince him of this, but it is likely he used Alexander's anger at Wilhelm to fuel it. Alexander seems to be proud of taking this position, telling Wilhelm he won't be messed with.

## Trivia

* He is presumed to be from a wealthy or well connected family as, when discussing who to blame for the drugs at The Society party, Wilhelm mentions that if Alexander were to be expelled, he would likely end up at some school in Switzerland.
