- Name: Alexander
- Race: Human
- Age: Undisclosed. Approximately 20/Y.O.
Appearance and Personality
Normal
- Alexander stands at a noticeable stature of only 5'5". Dark brown, almost black, hair sits upon his head, shaved short but not to the skin. This, however, remains most of the time hidden underneath a black and red baseball cap turned 90 degrees to the right with the letters "L.A." off centered in red. His skin is as a light bronze, though not from the sun, but from his ethnic origins. A black wife-beater shirt wraps around his torso, tightly, accenting his athletically lean muscular upper body as black Echo Unltd. shorts seamed with crimson red thread cover his lower body from his waist down to about three 1/2 inches above his ankles. Alexander's feet are wrapped within black and red Nike Air Carnivore high top basketball shoes that offered adequate ankle protection and were perfectly ideal for long term physical activity without added weight strain upon his ankles.
Alexander-At-Arms
- During the course of Alexander's history, he became close to some rather peculiar weapons which are held close to his heart. One rests behind his left shoulder blade in a holster sling that wrapped around the left shoulder itself and in this sheath rests the Carbon Steel pipe that seems to have been spray painted black. Likewise, in yet another strap holster that wrapped snugly just below his rib cage, and joined at a holster on his back, rested the Memory(artifact) that was given to him through means of which he discloses rather vaguely.
Artifact(S)
- Memory - A 2 and 3/4 ft. long sword with a flat surface and somewhat blunt edges. It is used primarily as a defensive weapon though it yields devastating results in Alexander's hands and Alexander's hands only. Despite being extremely secretive about how he obtained the sword, it is obviously an Artifact of divine origin as it is capable of cutting down the demons easily.
Memory
Ability
- Faith: As a Prophet, Alexander acts as an intermediary between himself and The Father, often delivering words of instruction or warning. Because of this, there is a constant connection between himself and The Father through Faith. Because of this Faith, Alexander is given power over the forces of Hell, divine protection against demons and attempts at his life, and prophetic messages that are given either through visions or inspirations. It is through this same Faith, that Alexander is given direction and guidance toward his next objective, and instruction as to how accomplish that which he is commanded.
Objective
"This world has been tied to the darkness,
But let us never allow it to be completely eclipsed.
The Light of men shines for He is the Life of men,
And the darkness cannot overtake it.
Though I stand surrounded by Darkness, my Light shall not fade;
I'll fight to the very end and even in death my Light shall not be extinguished."
Lord, I lay down my life. I will fight, and die, for You."

History
- An Interview With the King
From a VHS cassette found in an old library.
An attractive and professionally dressed young woman of about 23 years of age sits on a chair within a room lit by only a single hanging lamp above. Across from her, Alexander sits dressed in normal attire. The young woman pressed a red button on a tape recorder that sits on a table in front of them; an obvious recording session is about to begin.
Interviewer: I'm here with Alexander, the King of Los Angeles who, along with his cohorts, restored prosperity to the collapsing city. Alexander, can you tell us a little bit about how, exactly, you were able to accomplish this in the midst of all the hopelessness everyone felt toward L.A?
Alexander: Do you believe in God, Ms. Anya? Alexander looked at her with a confident grin on his face as he spoke, his voice sounding smooth and just as confident as his expression.
Interviewer: A somewhat puzzled look crosses her face as she begins to speak he next words. I would say I'm a believer, yes. But, back to the question, Alexander, how did you restore what was lost in Los Angeles? She was obviously trying to steer the interview away from, what she regarded, religion.
Alexander: Hmm... I asked. Bluntly.
Interviewer: ..Ex.. excuse me? Can you elaborate on that? The response she was given struck her by surprise.
Alexander: I simply asked my Father. A blunt statement.
Interviewer: Really? I didn't know your father played such a pivotal role in the restoration of the great city. Tell us, what exactly was done and how did you go about accomplishing this? Although the young woman knew that Alexander spoke of the Father in Heaven, she deliberately took the statement as meaning Alexander's human father.
Alexander: ... I simply asked, Ms. Anya, and he gave them food to eat, water to drink, and the truth in which to live by. Is it too hard to believe that He still works miracles in these days? Alexander sounded somewhat more serious as he spoke those words.
Interviewer: Miracles? You mean that... when you say "father," are you referring to God?
Alexander: One and only.
Interviewer: There was a brief moment of silence. The young woman was obviously bedazzled and unsure of what to say. Thus, she directed the conversation to another matter. Alexander, many of us have wondered and perhaps you can shed some light into this but what, exactly, is the meaning behind the sword and the pipe we see you carry?
Alexander: ...The sword? I really cant say. All of a sudden it was just... there... you know? He said I'll need it someday. Alexander was purposely being vague. And the pipe.. well, lets just say it was my first baby.
The video footage endures some light static. The voices can be heard playing underneath the static but only few words are decipherable. "Hospital, family," Nothing that seems to be of any consideration. Eventually, the footage goes to a blue screen. Even though there is obviously more on the reel, the player will simply not playback the remaining footage.
You walk away,
There is a garbled sound coming from the television, like static combined with the rest of the interview but over this, two unfamiliar voices are heard delegating amongst themselves beneath the static.
Voice 1: He must be killed... whether he dies and goes with the Father or comes here is irrelevant. Daily his actions hinder our progress.
Voice 2: But how can we? The Father himself watches over him and we are near powerless against him as it is...
Voice 1: Then we must resort to greater measures.
Voice 2: I see... Lisa?
All that remains thereafter is the sound of radiation emanating from the television. You try to rewind the tape but all that remains is the interview footage that stops at the same point.
