Just like the Big Bad Wolf, Alexandre embodies the idea of a formidable and dangerous presence, lurking in the shadows. He is a representation of power, cunning, and the potential for destruction.

Similar to the wolf in these tales, Alexandre's past experiences and choices have shaped him into a formidable force. His involvement with the Yakuza showcases his transformation into a powerful figure within the criminal underworld. Much like the wolf, he is feared by his enemies and respected by his allies.

Furthermore, Alexandre's journey from a haunted mercenary to a revered member of the Yakuza mirrors the character development of the Big Bad Wolf. In some versions of the fairy tales, the wolf undergoes a transformation, revealing a more complex and multifaceted nature. Similarly, Alexandre's journey illustrates that even the most broken souls can find redemption and evolve into something unexpected.

The symbolism of Alexandre Moon as the Big Bad Wolf also extends to his role as a protector. Just as the wolf protects its territory and pack, Alexandre becomes a guardian of the Yakuza, fighting against corruption and betrayal within the organization. His unwavering commitment to justice and loyalty to his newfound family mirrors the protective instincts of the wolf.

In conclusion, Alexandre Moon's character carries symbolism reminiscent of the Big Bad Wolf from fairy tales. His portrayal as a powerful and dangerous figure, his transformative journey, and his role as a protector all contribute to the interpretation of Alexandre as a modern-day representation of the iconic fairy tale character.

## History

**Alexandre Heuk-gu Moon**, born on November 21st, 1995, in Québec, Canada, to Cho Qi Sun, his Chinese-Nomadic-Tibetan father at 28, and his teen mother at 18, Zainichi-Korean mother, Miyayoung Heuk-Mi Moon, had an extraordinary lineage. Two years later, the family sought refuge in Québec, yearning for a fresh start. In 1989, they made the daring decision to relocate to New York, where they staged their own deaths in Japan with the assistance of Cho's loyal assistant, Ein. Their desperate act was a means to escape a dangerous gang that was relentlessly pursuing Cho. Embracing their newfound Christian faith, they settled in Koreatown, where Alexandre's unique heritage began to unfold. It was during this time that Alexandre discovered his fascinating genetic makeup, a remarkable blend of Korean Jindo, Pungsan dog, and Shiba Inu lineage. This ancestry bestowed upon him incredible physical abilities, allowing him to sprint at astonishing speeds of up to 35 mph and stamina from both Jindo and Pungsan dogs and Shiba Inu, thanks to the combination of his two feet and wings, inherited from his Korean grandmother—who himself possessed the remarkable traits of the Korean Jindo breed, due his mixed origins as he had dog teeth on his top canines and dog shape tongue from Korean Jindo, Pungsan dogs genetics as he get very aggressive due his dog genetics.

With each stride, Alexandre's speed and agility surpassed that of an ordinary human, a living embodiment of his remarkable heritage.

As Alexandre embarked on his journey, he embraced his extraordinary lineage, utilizing his newfound gifts to navigate life's challenges. With every stride, he honored his ancestors, drawing strength from the stories of their resilience and courage. Alexandre's unique heritage became a source of inspiration, a reminder that he possessed a remarkable legacy that transcended borders and defied expectations. In the years that followed, Alexandre's story would continue to evolve, as he ventured into uncharted territories, harnessing the power of his lineage to accomplish extraordinary feats. His journey would take him to distant lands, where he would encounter individuals whose lives would be forever changed by his presence. With each interaction, he would leave an indelible mark, weaving together the threads of his heritage into a tapestry of hope and possibility. As Alexandre Moon, the extraordinary half-breed with the blood of Korean Jindo, Pungsan dog, and Shiba Inu flowing through his veins, continued to run with unparalleled swiftness, he served as a testament to the strength and resilience that can arise from one's ancestry. His story became a living legend, an emblem of the extraordinary potential that lies within each of us, waiting to be embraced and unleashed upon the world.

### Personal Life

Despite the challenges that came with growing up in a violent and poverty-stricken area, Alexandre's parents, Cho and Miyayoung, were determined to provide him with a nurturing and loving environment. They embraced their Christian faith and made it a priority to take Alexandre to church regularly. Cho, being a missionary, wanted to instill the values of faith, compassion, and love in his son. Despite their financial struggles, Cho and Miyayoung went above and beyond to create happy memories for Alexandre. They made sure to take him to the zoo, where he could marvel at the wonders of the animal kingdom, and to their own restaurant in the nearby streets of Québec, where he could experience different cuisines. These outings not only provided Alexandre with moments of joy and wonder but also served as a respite from the harsh realities of their impoverished surroundings. However, circumstances arose that led to Alexandre's parents making the difficult decision to separate. Their home was sold, and Miyayoung decided to move to Japan with Alexandre while Cho ventured to British Columbia in search of employment. Alexandre and his mother found themselves staying with his maternal aunt and his baby cousin, Michiko Park, in Osaka Prefecture, Japan in 2001. Their neighborhood was marked by poverty and crime, as Alexandre's uncle, Go Park, was involved with the Yakuza, a notorious criminal organization. Despite the challenging environment, Alexandre's mother ensured that he remained connected to his Christian faith by taking him to a Japanese-only Christian church in their aunt's neighborhood.

Living in a poverty-stricken area, Alexandre faced numerous obstacles, including the temptation of gangs and drug use. However, he managed to avoid these pitfalls, thanks to the guidance and support of his mother and the values instilled in him. Alexandre's uncle, Go Park, also played a significant role in teaching him self-defense techniques to navigate the dangerous alleys near their home. While Alexandre's surroundings were far from ideal, he found solace in his faith, the love of his family, and their collective determination to rise above their circumstances. Meanwhile, Alexandre's father, Cho, was struggling with his own challenges in British Columbia. Despite the physical distance separating father and son, Cho made sure to maintain a strong bond by sending letters and gifts, ensuring that Alexandre felt loved and supported. After more than three years of separation, Alexandre and his mother were finally reunited with Cho in Québec in 2004. The family moved to a non-poverty-stricken neighborhood, providing them with a fresh start and renewed hope for a brighter future. Throughout his childhood, Alexandre held onto a dream that captured his imagination and fueled his aspirations: becoming an astronaut. Every Halloween, he would eagerly dress up as an astronaut, allowing his imagination to transport him to the realms of outer space. Alexandre's love for space exploration was evident when he drew pictures of himself standing on the moon during Job Day at his primary school in 2006. His creativity and determination were recognized when he won a science fair in 2008 for creating a large clay moon in collaboration with his father, Cho. This project not only showcased Alexandre's artistic skills but also symbolized the unbreakable bond between father and son.

### Cho's Disappearances

In 2001, Cho promised Miyayoung, his girlfriend, that he would return soon with more money so they could get married and leave their unhealthy environment. However, their restaurant was shut down due to low income, and Cho never returned. Three years later, Miyayoung began experiencing schizophrenic episodes and blamed Alexandre for their financial struggles. This was difficult for Alexandre, as Miyayoung never wanted children in the first place.

Miyayoung rejected God and morals and turned to legal prostitution and drug addiction, which had a lasting impact on Alexandre's childhood. Despite the challenges he faced, Alexandre remained resilient and continued to trust and love his mother, even though she often showed hatred towards him and Cho. She believed that God had brought Alexandre into her life as a burden until she died, and she wanted him to suffer just as she suffered and Miyayoung never regret for her behavior towards Alexandre as she hatred him. Despite his mother's negativity, Alexandre found it in his heart to forgive his father for abandoning them and remained optimistic about the future.

### Emotional Abuse

During Alexandre's childhood, he was subjected to severe abuse by his mother's male clients, who followed Miyayoung's instructions to burn his arms with cigarettes and beat him if he showed disrespect. Once, he caught Miyayoung in the act of having sex with a client, and the client responded by humiliatingly punching him. When Alexandre was 12 years old, he had a disturbing encounter with a male client who was suspected to be a sex offender. During dinner, the client inappropriately touched him, causing Alexandre to feel uncomfortable and retreat to his room. Later that night, while Miyayoung was sleeping due to sexual desires, the client tried to enter the bathroom where Alexandre was and had intentions to harm him. Fortunately, Alexandre escaped through the window and sought help from a neighbor. This incident was one of many traumatic events that left him feeling scared and vulnerable during his childhood.

Despite enduring abuse and feeling vulnerable, on December 18th, 2009, Alexandre was given the opportunity to attend a Christmas school trip to Mall. While most students were accompanied by their parents and carrying their own money, Alexandre had to go alone due to his mother Miyayoung's neglect and abuse. Miyayoung had rejected Alexandre's request to accompany him on the trip, and only provided him with a meager sum of 3 Canadian dollars, which was not enough. Despite feeling out of place and unfamiliar with his surroundings, Alexandre relied on himself and even asked his teacher, Mrs. Clark, for money to buy food during the trip. Despite the difficult circumstances, he managed to smile for the camera to avoid having a traumatic experience in the Christmas picture.

### Traumatic Experience with Military client and the Birth of "Black Dog"

When Alexandre was 13, his mother accused him of stealing her money for sex work and beat him. She forced him to hide in the closet as her military client arrived. The client became angry when he realized Miyayoung had shortchanged him, and he punched her, causing her to become unconscious. He then destroyed her bedroom in search of more money. The client found Alexandre hiding in the closet, restrained him, and brutally raped him for several hours. After the assault, the client took Miyayoung's money and left, leaving Alexandre unconscious. The aftermath was devastating for Alexandre. After awakening from her unconscious state, Miyayoung found Alexandre injured and unconscious, but she was unaware that he had been raped by Military client. They were both hospitalized, and Miyayoung lied to hospital staff about their injuries. Upon returning home, Alexandre was haunted by the scars left by the assault. He developed Haphephobia and Genophobia, causing him to isolate himself from men and sexual activities. His aversion towards sexual desires may have been influenced by his mother's involvement in prostitution and drug abuse. The trauma from the rape continued to impact Alexandre's life, leaving him with emotional scars and a fear of intimacy.

Throughout his childhood, Alexandre endured a series of traumatic incidents that left him with intense fear and emotional scars. One such incident involved a gym teacher's attempt to comfort him, which ultimately led Alexandre to defend himself with a pencil and resulted in a three-month school ban. In another harrowing experience, Alexandre was attacked by a thug who attempted to rob him. Although he fought back and beat the assailant, the incident left thug traumatized. Additionally, a group of skinheads once threatened to kill Alexandre in an alleyway. Desperate to save himself, he fought back and injured all twelve men who attacked him using a pipe as his weapon. Alexandre was subsequently arrested for his actions and began to believe that his trauma made him a danger to society. Despite his resilience and courage in the face of danger, Alexandre's trauma continued to haunt him for years to come. He struggled with emotional wounds and a tendency towards violence when faced with intimacy or closeness, causing him to isolate himself and label himself as the "Black Dog." Despite his efforts to heal and move forward, Alexandre's trauma remained a heavy burden on his life.

### Gang Life

Alexandre's troubled upbringing, marred by his mother's clients' abuse and her neglect and trauma, made him vulnerable to the gang lifestyle. Though he had never been involved in gang activities before, his appearance and behavior at the Christian school he attended aroused suspicion in his teacher, Mr. Keller, and other kids, who were intimidated by his gang-related reputation. One day, when Alexandre was experiencing financial difficulties, he turned to his friend Sue-Le for help. He saw her stealing money from locals and selling drugs in the neighborhood and, despite not participating in any gang activities, agreed to accompany her to make some money. As time passed, Alexandre confided in Sue-Lee's gang boss, Wonk, that he had been working as a drug dealer in secret for months, selling drugs in the ghettos of his neighborhood. Despite his reluctance to join the gang, Wonk hired Alexandre as he needed more workers for his company, besides Ryan Suzuki and only white kid named, Oliver Berg.

Alexandre began working out of a trailer owned by Wonk's younger brother, Kim, who was a meth manufacturer. It was later revealed that Wonk and Kim were ex-Triad members, and Wonk had millions stashed away in a secret case. Alexandre had no choice but to work as a drug dealer due to his unemployment and low-income issues. Alexandre worked in secrecy with Wonk, operating as a drug dealer alongside three other young individuals: Sue Lee, Ryan, and Robert. Wonk acted as a parental figure to Alexandre and the others, but he often treated them cruelly, particularly Alexandre. Wonk would physically assault Alexandre for arriving late to drug operations, putting him in harm's way by involving him in violent altercations between Asian and non-Asian gangs who traded drugs. These experiences left Alexandre feeling anxious and disapproving of violence. On two separate occasions, Wonk attempted to abandon Alexandre during their drug trades.

### Killing of Mr. Keller

During one of their missions, Alexandre and Ryan stumbled upon a firearm in a deceased gang member's apartment. Aware that Ryan's parents frequently searched his room, he asked Alexandre to hide the weapon at his house. Despite the risk, Alexandre agreed to conceal the gun at his residence. During gym class, Alexandre and a fellow student got into a physical altercation, leading to Alexandre being sent to a two-hour detention by Mr. Keller. However, during the detention, Mr. Keller revealed a twisted, sick nature and attempted to sexually assault Alexandre by ripping off his jacket and going for his pants. Mr. Keller believed that God wanted punishment for Alexandre being a gangster and that he needed forgiveness. The traumatic experiences of being raped as an 11-year-old by a military male client came flooding back to Alexandre. In a moment of self-defense, Alexandre punched Mr. Keller and fled the office by jumping out of the window.

He grabbed his bag from his locker and ran away from Mr. Keller, eventually finding himself in the woods. As Alexandre was being restrained by Mr. Keller, he looked through his bag and found the gun that he had hidden for Ryan a week prior. In a moment of desperation, Alexandre fatally shot Mr. Keller in the chest. The sound of the gunshot caused the school to go into lockdown, and Alexandre fled to the woods near his Christian school. Upon returning home, his mother found him in a state of terror and refused to acknowledge what had happened. The news of the mysterious murder of Mr. Keller faded from the headlines, and the case was closed, but the experience shattered Alexandre's self-esteem, robbed him of his childhood innocence, caused immense emotional trauma, and eroded his trust in God. Unable to cope with his trauma, Alexandre turned to a more violent lifestyle, believing that he was not accepted unless he became a killer like himself.

### Weapon of Choice and Naming "Alexy"

Alexandre found himself in an abandoned church, determined to master the use of his new gun. Despite trying many times throughout the night, he only managed to hit two of the six cans and eventually gave up, returning the gun to Oliver. As he left the church early the next morning, Alexandre was attacked by a gang who began shooting at him. Though he managed to dodge the bullets, his body moved on its own, leaving him trapped. He retreated to the abandoned building, where he urged himself to stand up and defend himself. His new gun, which he had named "Alexy," responded to his will, and he began shooting at the gang members one by one until they left.

Alexandre returned home safely, but he could not shake off the memories of the incident. He looked at himself in the mirror and decided to use his gun for protection, shooting at abandoned buildings to overcome his fear. "Alexy" became his trusted companion as he ventured out into the world, always prepared to defend himself if necessary. After many attempts, Alexandre finally managed to hit all six cans with his gun. Despite this success, he still felt uneasy about his ability to use the weapon in a real-life situation. This feeling only intensified after the gang attack, as he realized that his life could be in danger at any moment. However, he refused to let fear paralyze him and decided to continue practicing with "Alexy" to improve his skills. In time, he became more confident and skilled with the gun, using it to protect himself and others when necessary.

### Meeting Peter At the Mall

At 16, Alexandre became increasingly rude and violent, earning respect from his drug dealer boss. His mother, a prostitute, asked for money, but Alexandre refused, causing an argument. He later got into a physical altercation with a drug trading partner and attempted revenge with a loaded gun, but was accidentally hit by a frightened 12-year-old boy, named Peter. He then fought off a group of skinheads and encountered the boy again, eventually following him to an underground mall where he met a group of homeless people, including a science teacher with mental disorders and a young girl taking care of him like a child. Despite his initial disdain, Alexandre decided to stay and learn more about the people living there. Alexandre visited Peter's cluttered room in the underground mall in search of Travis but rejected the offer to stay.

While wandering around the mall, he met several homeless people, including a science teacher with mental disorders, a Russian couple who lost their daughter, and a young mother interested in his gangster appearance. Alexandre helped Jessica make a bed for her son, declined to smoke around the child, and shared his own experience of being raped as a child. Alexandre also helped Nailmen, a science teacher, who had mental disorders and attempted suicide by drowning after blaming himself for his wife's death. Nailmen was taken away by Mia for treatment, leaving Alexandre worried about informing Wonk of the situation. Travis appeared and started a gunfight, causing chaos in the mall. Alexandre and Peter took cover in a clothing store with Alya. Alexandre fought Travis and retrieved his money but spared his life, leaving him lying on the ground. Nailmen was rushed to the ambulance while Alexandre and Peter received medical attention. Alexandre lied to Wonk about the drug money being gone and gave half of it to Peter.

### Wonk's Company Raided

In episode "Sentenced" by flashback, Alexandre worked in a meth lab with Kim at Wonk's place. One day, Kim asked Alexandre to get beer for him and gave him money for it. While on the way to the gas station to get the beer, a gang member followed Alexandre and attempted to shoot him in an alleyway. Alexandre managed to defend himself by shooting at the gang member. Sue Lee helped Alexandre escape from the gang by pushing boxes to block their path. The gang searched for Alexandre, but he managed to reunite with Sue Lee.

Despite the danger, Alexandre continued working with Kim until tragedy struck. Alexandre returned to Wonk's company and asked Kim for more money. Kim agreed to give him $400 Canadian dollars. However, a gang raided Wonk's place, resulting in Kim's death and Alexandre being knocked unconscious but unharmed. Sue Lee and Ryan found Alexandre and took care of him, asking about his bruises. Alexandre shared everything that had happened. When Wonk returned to his company, he found his brother's dead body and accused Alexandre of being responsible for it. Sue Lee stood up for Alexandre and held Wonk accountable for putting him in danger. Ryan tried to stop Sue Lee, fearing that Wonk would fire them. Wonk expelled Alexandre, Ryan, and Sue Lee from his business and warned them not to come back.

### Living with Sue-Lee and Ryan's Place

20-years-old Alexandre went on a forest trip with his friend Mack where they were attacked by a bear dog. They defended themselves and kissed, which was seen by Alexandre's mother, Miyayoung. Alexandre called Mack to apologize for the awkward situation with his mother, and Mack encouraged him to be honest with her about their relationship. Alexandre came out to his mother, but the conversation turned sour when Miyayoung became triggered by her own trauma and accused Alexandre of being gay because of a past traumatic experience. Feeling hurt and angry, Alexandre tried to calm his mother down and explain that his sexual orientation had nothing to do with his traumatic experience. Miyayoung left the house, leaving Alexandre alone for a few days. His house was robbed during this time, and he called 16-years-old Sue-Lee for help. She offered him a safe place to stay with her and her family. Alexandre played with Sue-Lee's 2-years-old son Ryan-Lee, son of Sue-Lee and 18-years-old Ryan and felt a sense of comfort and support from his loved ones. They went to the playground and a fast-food restaurant, where they learned about the "Joy Maries" group who had kidnapped and brainwashed 35 teens. While waiting outside the restaurant, Alexandre was approached by Emica Forsyth, who offered him her leftover onigiris, thinking he was homeless. Alexandre clarified that he was not homeless and disliked homelessness.

Alexandre meets Emica who asks about his yellow hair streaks. He responds rudely and mentions his past as a punk kid, but clarifies that he isn't offended by her. A week later, Alexandre babysits Sue-Lee's son and runs into Peter, a homeless kid he helped in the past who has now been adopted. They catch up briefly before Peter walks away with his new family. Alexandre returns to find Sue-Lee and Ryan upset about Ryan's parents' rejection. They take a leisurely stroll along the beach, where they share stories and play with baby Ryan-Lee. Alexandre receives an invitation from Mack to stay with him in Ottawa, which he accepts. Sue-Lee and Ryan give him a sweet goodbye, including a big group hug that ends in laughter, before he leaves for Mack's apartment. Alexandre meets Emica again at the bus stop, and they joke around before Emica heads to the airport to meet her family. One night, Alexandre's bag is stolen, and he is almost gang-raped by three men. His mother, Miyayoung, arrives just in time to save him, but their relationship remains strained due to her intolerance towards his sexuality and selfish tendencies. As they walk home, they see a woman heading towards Ottawa on a bus. The episode ends with the screen fading to black.
