## Biography

### Background

Alex Carter was employed by the CIA in 1968, at the age of 18. He quickly proved himself to be capable, and by 1985, had over 150 successful missions on his record, most of which regarded to be nearly impossible.

His mission record, combined with his quick thinking, demeanour, and combat skill made him one of the CIA's best Agents of the time, if not one of the best ever.

At some point between 1968 and 1985, Carter met and befriended Johnathon Price, The Custodian.

### Transfer to Prospero

In 1985 at the personal behest of The Custodian, Carter, along with Davis, transferred to Prospero. The Custodian sent the two out as a team, using their skills to accomplish a multitude of nigh-on impossible recovery missions. In particular, The Custodian had them searching for objects with suspected healing properties, but they were never successful in retrieving any objects of that kind.

In 1994, shortly before OPERATION: INCLEMENT STRIKE, Carter was present during Agent Katie Downes' assassination attempt on The Custodian. Downes managed to discover that The Custodian was performing off-the-books 'cloak and dagger' operations to recover objects without the general knowledge of Prospero. In particular, he was using questionable, and in some cases outright illegal, tactics in order to acquire them. In addition, she discovered that he was eliminating any Agents that learned of anything even remotely pointing towards his activities. Attempting to stop The Custodian, she went to confront him at his office. However, before she was able to kill him, she was shot and killed by Carter with a bullet to the head.

Following Downes' assassination attempt, The Custodian assigned Carter and Davis as his personal bodyguards, and withdrew them from all field operations. Due to this, Agents Sarah Williams and Jack Hunter were assigned to OPERATION: INCLEMENT STRIKE instead, a decision which The Custodian would later come to regret.

### Advent of the Myths

Carter continued to serve as bodyguard to The Custodian before and during the Advent of the Myths. He encountered Agent Carl Johnson a number of times as the latter met with The Custodian for briefings and debriefings. The two regarded each other with a level of respect, particularly on CJ's side.

#### The Plot Thickens

Carter was present with The Custodian when the latter attended a meeting at the Fallen Tree warehouse. Carter, along with Davis, stood by on guard whilst The Custodian did his dealings.

#### Attack on Prospero H.Q.

After learning of The Custodian's malicious dealings, CJ attempted to confront him at Prospero H.Q. Aided by Sarah Williams, the two attempted to reach The Custodian at his office, however they were slowed down by Agents loyal to the The Custodian. After dispatching of the Agents, CJ and Sarah managed to reach the offices floor. Carter and Davis moved to eliminate them, but they were commanded to stand down by The Custodian.

As talks between The Custodian and CJ concluded, a number of loyal Agents arrived at the offices floor. The Custodian ordered them to attack CJ and Sarah, and in the ensuing chaos, he, along with Carter and Davis, escaped using a chopper on the roof of Prospero H.Q.

#### Showdown at Satellite Site Omega & Death

After the three arrived at Satellite Site Omega, Carter accompanied The Custodian as he commanded all staff to evacuate the facility, and then went to check on his daughter, Kylie Price.

When CJ and Sarah arrived, both he and Davis went to confront them near the facility entrance. The two groups expressed mutual dismay at what was about to happen, as well as a desire to prevent it were circumstances different. After mutual acknowledgement that what was going to happen had to happen, they engaged in combat.

In the ensuing battle, Davis was killed first, and then Carter was mortally wounded by CJ. With no way to help him, and the severity of his injury, Carter asked CJ to kill him and 'end it'. After some hestitation, CJ eventually did it, finishing off Carter with a pistol round to the head.
