"Why do we fall? So we can learn to pick ourselfs back up. Why does it hurt? So we can learn to adapt and overcome. Why do we fail? So we can learn how to succeed. We do not learn from our victorys. We learn from our fears. From our worst failures. It is in our darkest dreams we are at our best. In our lowest moments that we feel true strength. For when we can go no lower and all that remains is hope, we rise."

- Alex-007 giving a speech during the Voi Memorial in 2553.

Just as every other Spartan-II, he was conscripted into the SPARTAN Program at the age of six in 2517 and underwent numerous augmentation procedures to become the ultimate soldier. He is a veteran of the Human-Covenant War and would volunteer to train the next generation of Spartans with until the year 2561, afterwards he would retire from service with Kelsey-015 on the colony of Eridu.

Early life
Most Spartans usually forgot about their life before being abducted, but Alex had remembered some memories as a child. He knew he had grown up in a city on Mars, it was the usual common metropolis with the familiar sound of subways and monorails taking people to work each day. His parents were typical everyday people, his father was a business man who worked for a ore refinery company and his mother was an artist, relatively well known on his homeworld and Earth. He had a great childhood, many friends and regularly active playing games like tag, hide n' seek, king of the hill just like any other normal six year old boy. But one night he was given a strong dose of a sleeping agent in which a team of ONI specialists took him away and replaced him with a flash clone. He would later wake up on another planet light years away from his friends and family where he would become the ultimate soldier, and humanity's last hope in a war that was soon to begin.

Training on Reach
We he was abducted, he had been acquainted with Spartans like, John-117, and Jorge-052. However when they were put into teams and began service he rarely saw them. During training he began to have some sort of affection for Kelsey-015 who was second-in-command under him in Ruby Team. However relationships between Spartans that include romance were forbidden.

During the augmentations he was one of the fastest recovering Spartans and accidentally witnessed the death of two of his closest friends Micheal-011 and Nicholas-133. He instantly tried to rush over to help the but was held off by another Spartan who recovered faster than anyone else.

He and Sam were struggling so much that Sam accidentally struck Alex and knocked him out. He finally woke up on his bed were he later attended the funeral on the. Sam later apologized to him after the ceremony, but he stood silent staring into the void of space as Micheal's casket was floating away, that was the last time Alexander had ever seen Samuel, and when he had only seen Kelly and John came back from, he asked John where Sam was and the only response he got was that he stayed back and made sure the bomb detonated. John then walked away without saying another word as Alex just stood where he was and froze with a look of disbelief on his face.

Chi Ceti Incident
Main Article:

When the Spartans arrived at Chi Ceti IV in November of 2525 to receive their new armor, A Covenant ship known as the Unrenlenting fired upon the facility and deployed squads of Jackals and Grunts. The Spartans fought off the Covenant attackers and evacuated the building. With no reported casualties and all AIs secured, the rest of the Spartans went back on board the Commonwealth while   attempted to destroy the Covenant frigate. The frigate would be destroyed but at the cost of losing Sam-034.

Retaking Harvest
Main Article:

Alexander was one of the many Spartans who landed among the first waves of Marines during the Liberation of Harvest. It wasn't the first time he had engaged Covenant forces and was looked to for help on hitting weaknesses of the smaller forces. But when going up against gigantic Covenant that looked like Gorillas, even other Spartans had trouble in taking them down. UNSC forces also engaged other Covenant wearing strong armor and equipped with a devastating weapon. He would fight on Harvest for another three years until being wounded by stray plasma bolts hitting his left thigh and lower chest. He would survive but would be forced off the field for two years to recover from his wounds. He is one of the few Spartans whose injuries kept them from returning to combat.

Battle of Kholo
Main Article:

As the city of Bako was besieged, Ruby Team was assigned to support Marines in the city while civilians were given more time to reach the city spaceport. However very little men and ammo left to spare, the Marines couldn't hold off another attack by the Covenant. And the only armory nearby was overrun with Grunts and Drones. With little time left, the Spartans took it upon themselves to take back the armory and retrieve as much ordnance for the Marines. When they returned to the Marines's positions, they had recovered two Scorpions, three Gauss Warthogs and a dozen Battle Rifles, Jackhammers, M6G Magnums and MA5B Assault Rifles.

The Marines and Spartans would hold out for another thirty minutes after being ordered to retreat as they were covered by Longswords. Once they reached the spaceport and boarded a Pelican, a Longsword had dropped a HAVOK Tactical Nuke on Bako killing all Covenant forces as they swarmed the streets. Despite that victory, Kholo would still be lost and glassed only moments after the last UNSC ships left the system.

Fall of New Myeni
Main Article: Fall of New Myeni

The city of Revan was completely surrounded. A handful of UNSC troops and Alex remained in the city to plant a HAVOK Tactical Nuke before the Covenant overran the area. Alex volunteered to make sure the bomb was detonated, but what was left of the Marines instead stayed back, saying that the UNSC would need any Spartan they could get. Just before he left, he told the Marines to "Give em' Hell." and proudly saluted them all.

As Spartan-007 made his way out of the city he found a young boy, no older than seven or eight all alone in the streets. After a brutal conflict with a squad of Grunts and a Elite, he grabbed the boy and headed toward remaining UNSC ground forces. He never found out if he reunited with his parents after being evacuated.

Last Stand at the Seige of Aegon III
Main Article: Siege of Aegon III

In January 2550 the Seige of a UNSC Fortress world known as Aegon III was attacked by a Covenant fleet 230 ships strong. The Aegon System Defense Fleet held off the Covenant invaders until reinforcements came from neighboring systems. But the fleet was lured farther and farther from the planet that allowed a smaller fleet to cut in from their left flank and launch the invasion. Being a fortress world, it held high value to the UNSC military, the troops stationed on Aegon III knew it and fought for every grain of dirt and sand. But the two million strong UNSC forces eventually faltered and the Covenant broke the lines. Alexander was attached to the 88th Infantry Division. He was with them when the Covenant broke that lines. Covenant troops surrounded them but they would hold on and win the battle that would be known as the Last Stand of the 88th. Although 46 men and women were killed in the battle, it boosted morale of all troops on the planet and would give them five more months to defend the planet until overwhelming Covenant forces swarmed throughout the entire surface.

Ambush of the UNSC New York
Fleeing from the loss at Aegon III, the Spartan boarded the UNSC New York, the ship entered slipspace with the remnants of the fleet. When the ship exited slipspace all the remained was wreckage. Then, two CCS-class Battlecruisers exited slipspace behind the New York as if they were waiting for her. They launched boarding pods towards the cruiser and damaged the ship's engines. As the point defense guns took some down, about one-third of them had successfully reached the ship. As the Spartan and Marines held off the boarder, Captain Anila Mahapatra called for reinforcements from the nearest UNSC controlled planet. She was promised that she would receive help from five Frigates and two cruisers. As the boarders failed to take control of the ship, the two cruisers began to ready a salvo of plasma torpedoes. The Marathon cruiser tried to turn towards the ships but with her engines out, the Covenant ships would easily move away.

As the bridge received confirmation that the boarders had been successfully repelled, the Covenant opened fire. Two plasma torpedoes sped towards the UNSC cruiser. In return the New York fired it's missiles but would prove ineffective without a MAC round punching through one of the ship's shields.

Once the torpedoes impacted on the hull of the New York, a total of ten Frigates, two cruisers and five destroyers came into view on the New York's starboard side. There were more ships that had been promised but anything is better than nothing. As the destroyers and frigates along with a cruiser distracted the Covenant, the UNSC Alexandria evacuated the New York as it was too badly damaged to enter slipspace and make repairs. Most of the crew made it out alive as the locations the torpedoes hit were barely occupied.

The Alexandria and the other ships then entered slipspace and soon returned to Reach.

Battle of Leonis IV
Main Article: Star Map of Berezion

When fighting on Leonis VII in 2550 a strong earthquake caused Alex and a platoon of Marines to fall into a cave in where they made a strange discovery. Unknown to them they had actually tumbled into a Forerunner star map. When recovered by ONI agents later that week, they could not activate it in any way. It was finally locked away on a planet far from the war where ONI specialists and scientists still attempted to unlock it.

Fall of Reach
Main Article:

When the Covenant attacked Reach in August 2552, Alex and Kelsey were finally reunited after more than thirteen years of being sent on separate missions. With Ruby Team back to full strength, despite the loss of Micheal and Nicholas the two were assigned to Colonel Fischer's 93rd Infantry Regiment and was tasked with meeting the Covenant in an offensive to catch them off guard and slow them down. But with the aid of a Scarab and other deadly weapons of war the UNSC forces were being devastated. Fischer ordered the Spartans to climb the cliff and attack the Scarab from above. With most of the Colonel's men dead, atleast getting that Scarab off their backs would buy them some time to retreat or dig in. As Dropships continued to deploy Covenant troops, a large group of Spirit dropships began to head for a city.



The Colonel no doubt saw them to and gave the Spartans new orders to the fall back to the city and aid UNSC troops no matter the cost. Knowing that the 93rd would be destroyed by the Scarab if it was left alone, Alex continued to climb the cliff and jumped down onto it. He planted the C-12 charges and ran as far as he could from the Scarab. It was destroyed but thousands of Covenant troops remained. With the 87th Armored Division too far to assist, the Colonel ordered the retreat and placed numerous mines along the way to attempt to slow the Covenant's advance to the city.

By the time the 93rd reached the city, the battle had been lost. The UNSC fleet was taking heavy loses and the Orbital Defense Platform's generators were being destroyed. As Ruby Team and the 93rd fleed the planet on the UNSC Battle of Quebec Alex knew that there were Spartans tasked with defending the generators and if they were destroyed meant that they were dead. Alexander and Kelsey would arrive at Earth some hours later, due to the Cole Protocol and would prepare for humanity's final fight. For many weeks no report of any other Spartans escaping Reach made Alex's stomach turn. And the disappearance of the Pillar of Autumn, also meant that humanity may have just lost it's greatest hero.
