## BACKSTORY

Alexander Mercer was born in New Jersey on 3rd April 1980 to a middle-class family. Mercer during his childhood kept to himself at all times, a behavior that sustained up to his high school years. Mercer at the age of 16, had left his home due to an argument with his parents about his life after graduation. After this, Mercer did several odd jobs alongside balancing his studies, eventually earning himself a scholarship to enter a well-known university where he applied for the course of Science and Biology.

It was there he caught the eye of a recruiter for Vex.Co who had the job as a professor with his immense dedication to the subject and bright mind. After graduation, he was soon given the opportunity to join Vex.Co which Mercer had immediately agreed to on the spot. He soon cut off all of his connections to his friends, their memories soon getting wiped to believe Mercer had never existed at all.

Mercer upon entering Vex.Co soon gained himself a small but decent reputation due to his determination on the job and willingness to do any assignment he was placed at. Due to this, he was soon given the position of Head Researcher for Vex-2005’s study and containment.

## PERSONALITY

Alexander Mercer is a calm and collected man even under the most extreme circumstances, gaining him the title of ‘Ice Doctor’ from his colleagues. An Introvert since childhood, Mercer rarely interacts with others unless it’s due to work. This does not mean that he detests conversation or companionship as many have remarked that he is quite a good company once you get to know him.

Mercer often finds it difficult to relate to others on several levels, due to his less experience with friends and social interactions, he often finds it difficult to engage in conversations and generally avoids it. This is also merged with the fact that he spent most of his life in a goal-oriented manner, causing him to avoid interacting with everyone to achieve his goals.

Professionally, Mercer is quite intelligent. He specializes in the field of biology, and this landed him the position of Head Scientist for the containment and study of Vex-2005. Mercer is relentless in his goal to keep the Vex contained, his encounter with Vex-2005-2 having made him realize that nothing is worth opening that door.

Mercer is also a quick thinker, being able to make up plans and strategies on the fly with this being the reason of how he managed to survive Vex-2005-2’s rampage. Overall, Alexander Mercer is a respectable figure in Vex.Co.

## EQUIPMENT

### Quantum Revolver

After his encounter with Vex-2005-2, Mercer deposited a request to Vex.Co to give him a weapon in case of another breach in containment. This eventually led to him coming into possession of a Quantum Revolver. The Revolver is a high-tech machine that upon firing, disintegrates matter on a molecular level with the limitation that after firing a certain number of times, the machine inside the revolver needs to cool down to fire again.
