Childhood
"It's what your parents would want" -James Ackerson to Alex

Born on July 7 2525, Alex was born at New Alexandria on the planet Reach, during the early events of the Human-Covenant War. Being taken to an orphanage after losing his parents to the Covenant on Harvest. Alex then grew to an age where he hated everything, and with the loss of his parents meant no cheering up came soon. At a young age, he had a knack of pulling butterknives out of the kitchen drawer and poking holes in the wall until he was told not to with some restrain. Ever since his hobby of knife stabbing occured, no one had the bravery to adopt Alex and so he was left at the orphanage until he recieved the oppurtunity to avenge his parents death and become apart of the SPARTAN-III Program.
