Agent Chris Alex served in the United States Navy for six years before enlisting in the Air Force. He earned several medals, and worked as a cargo loadmaster. His EPF dossier states that he is resourceful, tough, and disciplined. However, he is very stern and his teamwork needs improvement.

Cody Nakamura knows Agent Alex for his peak fitness, tactical expertise and flight skills.

* **Peak Human Condition:** As an agent and former soldier, Chris is in top physical shape. His Air Force training conditioned him to be physically strong in order to endure numerous flights. He has spent most EPF missions in the air, climbing, diving, and surviving multiple high-g maneuvers while wearing nothing but his agent attire and jetpack. Chris has considerable control over his body and immense core strength to withstand the intensity of flying at supersonic speeds with his jetpack.

*"I prefer to fight in the skies. It's easier to dodge that way."*

* **Gifted Intelligence:** Chris is a highly intelligent agent. With his training in the United States Navy, he learned teamwork, attention to detail, to handle the pressures of working alongside hundreds of others in the tight confines of a modern warship, and to maintain a level of focus critical to success while handling the high technology assets of various ships, submarines, and planes, all while operating far from home and in potentially dangerous seas. He also underwent many hours of classroom instruction with the Navy, though perhaps not as much as with his training in the United States Air Force, which made him disciplined, focused, and to further pay attention to detail. He focused mostly on academics, with classes on topics such as the law of armed conflict, self aid and buddy care, leadership, nuclear biological and chemical training, and joint warfare.
