**Alexander Himmel**, also known as **The Wraith**,is the son and eldest child of Michael Himmel, and the older brother of Bastion Himmel. He is next in line to inherit the business of H.M.A.G.

## Appearance

Alexander is a ghastly-white, slender figure clad in a black leather jacket with a matching button-up shirt and jeans beneath it. In a similar manner to his brother, Bastion, Alexander wears a black trilby atop his head, fitting the general "old-fashioned" demeanor of the Himmels. He is covered head-to-toe in numerous scars from his years of fighting dangerous opponents as an assassin.

His exposed right eye is a piercing dark blue, whilst his left is concealed by a black eyepatch with a blue rose-shaped insignia engraved into it, presumably covering his Himmel Eye.

## Personality

Alexander is cold, cruel and manipulative. Exuding in what can only be described as an aura of constant bloodlust, Alex revels driving his opponents to the very heights of fear and anguish before killing them, indicative of a sadistic nature. Caring for no one outside his immediate family, Alexander shows a complete and utter disregard for empathy or emotion to those he mercilessly slaughters.

His manipulative side is demonstrated in his interactions with Bastion. Constantly attempting to use his fears against him, Alexander has no qualms with using whatever means necessary to get Bastion to return, in a twisted display of "love".

## Powers and Abilities

### Magic

Alexander, like his brother, is a master magician, specializing in the magic trees of Projection and Teleportation. He is likely even more skilled than his younger brother due to being older and more experienced, making him among the deadliest mages in the entire story. His high-ranking position in Exodus as one of its top lieutenants reinforces this notion further.

* **Teleportation:** Like his brother, Alexander possesses the ability to teleport great distances via his magic. He is able to do it in rapid succession and with incredibly precise timing, allowing him to effortlessly attack from any angle imaginable.
* **Himmel Eye:** Alexander possesses one of the two Himmel Eyes. Unlike Bastion, who is able to use his to see into the future, Alexander is able to use his to see into the past of those who come under the effects of his eye. It also gives him a vast increase in his vision radius, allowing him to avoid attacks he otherwise would not have seen coming.
	+ **Rose Grove:** Through achieving direct eye contact with a target, Alexander is able to trap them within an illusory mind realm where they are restrained by massive, thorned vines. Unlike Bastion's *Iris Grove*, the mind realm of Rose Grove appears in the form of a massive orchard of blue roses, invariably set during midnight. Within this realm, Alexander is able to freely peer into the past of his victims, and uses this to dredge up their greatest fears and regrets. These fears and regrets manifest themselves physically within the realm, tormenting the victim endlessly. Unlike *Rose Grove*, however, Alexander is able to freely move while his victims are trapped within these illusions, as he is not transported into the mind realm himself, allowing him to do as he pleases to the victim, including simply killing them. This makes it a much more directly threatening technique than *Rose Grove*, which relies on the pain of the illusions created to incapacitate the target.
* **Projection Magic:** Alexander has demonstrated to be skilled in Projection Magic, able to encase his fists in a blue arcane energy that enhances his strikes, similar to his brother.

### Natural Skills, Abilities and Traits

**Enhanced Strength:** Alexander has a good deal of physical strength, shown when he was easily able to wind and concuss Bastion Himmel with a few casual strikes. He was also able to send Mugetsu Shinsei flying several meters with a kick to the back of the head, although the speedster didn't seem overtly injured by this.

**Enhanced Speed and Reflexes:** Alexander, like his brother, is very quick and agile, even able to easily blitz the latter in hand to hand combat. He also possesses incredible reaction speed, as demonstrated when he was able to teleport out of the way of a supersonic attack from Mugetsu Shinsei before it hit him. He has some obvious limits, however, as he was caught of guard by both of the aforementioned combatants during their confrontation.

**Enhanced Durability:** Alex is much more durable than his appearance would suggest, as he was able to take a superspeed punch to the jaw from Mugetsu and emerge with only a bruise to his jaw.

**Enhanced Stamina:** Although the limits of his stamina haven't been seen thanks to his relatively short confrontation with the Orphans, Alexander presumably, possesses just as much stamina as his brother, if not more so.
