**Aleksandre Shiedeski** (born July 2nd, 1982) (commonly referred to as **Major**, or **Aleks**), is a Russian mercenary, law enforcement officer, military officer, and private prison owner, who currently resides in Bloxburg.

## Early life

Shiedeski was born on July 2nd, 1982 in Vladivostok, Russian SFSR, in the Soviet Union. The Shiedeski family then immigrated to Bloxburg after the Soviet Union's collapse in the early 1990s.

## Early Career

In 2000, after turning 18, Shiedeski joined the Bloxburg Police Department (BPD) as a Rookie. He was assigned to work as a corrections officer at the Bloxburg Regional Penitentiary, a position he kept for 2 years. Shiedeski found himself loathing his job at the prison, and in 2002 decided to attend the 19-week BPD S.W.A.T. (Special Weapons And Tactics) training course, with him and 7 others beating out over 70 trainees, he said the first 2 weeks of the course "almost broke [him]" but he "pushed on". He began his job as a S.W.A.T. Certified Police Officer on January 6th, 2003. Shiedeski later said his job started out slow; street patrol, and waiting around for people to commit traffic violations, but said he "never let his guard down", just as he was taught in training.

### The Incident

On August 20th, 2003, only 8 months into his new position, Shiedeski was involved in a violent police chase, which began when he spotted a stolen police car that he heard about earlier through radio chatter. The stolen police car drove past his stationary position and he gave chase. 10 minutes in to the chase, they entered the highway and quickly accelerated to speeds in excess of 110mph (177km/h). Seeing a greater public safety risk if this chase continued, Shiedeski performed a PIT maneuver at 102mph (164km/h), 22 minutes in to the chase. The maneuver caused the stolen police car and Shiedeski's BPD patrol car both to flip over violently. Thankfully, no civilian injuries or deaths occurred, only minor damage to civilian vehicles. However, the perpetrator died from his injuries, and Shiedeski suffered minor brain damage, broke most of the bones in his body, causing paralysis, and slipped into a coma soon after.

On October 25th, 2003, after being in a coma for 2 months, Shiedeski awoke to the "bright lights". Doctors and nurses rushed to his aid, were shocked he had awaken. They informed his mother, who was already in the waiting room for a normal visit, and she frantically ran to see him.
His first words were said to be, "Where am I?" in a weak tone. His mother reportedly replied "Oh my darling.. ..you were in a Coma for 2 months, you're lucky we didn't pull the plug, the doctor had no hope!". After a quick reunion, Shiedeski was visited by his main doctor, Dr. Mitchell McConnell, PhD. He pitifully informed Shiedeski that he was almost completely paralyzed below the neck, making an exception for his right arm, a type of paralysis known as Meyerism. Doctor McConnell informed Shiedeski he had a 50% chance of walking again.

Beating the odds, Shiedeski regained mobility by 2005. And by 2006, was mostly recovered, enough to return to work at BPD in September, where he was presented with honors and praised as a hero.

## Post-Incident Career

### Bloxburg Police Department

In 2009, Shiedeski was promoted to the rank of Major in the BPD. He then began working as a Drill Instructor for new BPD recruits. Nicknamed "Melodii", recruits who trained with Shiedeski later said that they would never forget his deep, russian-accented voice, which some described as hypnotic.

Shiedeski retired from BPD in 2012. In his retirement letter, he cited his mental health as the main reason.

### Alleged Private Militia

It is alleged that since 2013, Shiedeski and a man known by the name of "Koala" have run a private militia that provides services to Bloxburg's wealthy citizens and corporations.

### Bloxburg Prison

Since 2022, Shiedeski has owned a private prison containing over 100 cells.

### X CORP

In 2022, Shiedeski and XCORP allegedly signed a secret contract in which Shiedeski's alleged militia would provide services under XCORP Security.
