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.

Becoming a SPARTAN-III
"You don't know upset until you've seen what I've been through"-Alex-106 on Onyx

Training on parts of Reach before leaving for the Human Occupied Colony/Forerunner Shield World, Onyx. Alpha Company trained for several years at the most until the refined the most of their skills.

SPI Armor Augmentations
It was not long until the candidates on Onyx were augmented and embodied into their Semi-Powered Infiltration Armor (SPI). At the age of 20, Alex was assigned to his team, Theta. He, Isaac-A043 and Lucas-B142 took part in the Battle of Sigma Octanus IV.

Theta Team and The Fall of Reach
"Was it worth coming back home? Was it worth coming back to the place you thought your life began but then realised it's probably where it would end instead?" - Alex-106

Being issued as the leader and assault expert of team Theta, Alex grouped with Issac-A043 and Lucas-B142. They became good friends and good team mates as they fought well against the Covenant on Sigma Octanus IV. It wasn't long until the SPARTANs of Theta Team were given MJOLNIR Mark V Armor.

It came as dreaded news to Alex that the Covenant had located his birthplace, Reach. Immediately stepping forward as a defender, Alex and Theta Team embarked to Reach several days before The Fleet of Particular Justice arrived. Fighting several counts of Covenant forces, Theta Team seperated in a bombing run while destroying a Covenant Cruiser. Alex, being seperated from his team, ran across the valley of Eposz to discover he arrived at New Alexandria, his hometown.

Raid on New Alexandria and Evacuation
"I think watching my planet being glassed is a fate worse than death" -Alex-A106 after retreating to Long Horn Valley.

Fighting across several waves of Covenant including Jiralhanae, Kig-Yar and Unggoy, Alex regrouped with several marines assisting him to find Lucas-B142 and Isaac-A043. Land, sea and air forces were dealt with, and Alex was involved in all three. Picking up a distress signal from Lucas-B124, Alex then left New Alexandria via evacuation Pelican to regroup with his once missing team mate. Regrouping with Isaac and Lucas near the DNBM Financial Tower, Theta Team were ordered to assist in evacuating several Marines and ODST's from the city, only to find that several Covenant Cruisers had arrived at New Alexandria. As they charged their excavation beams, Alex watched in shock as his hometown started to become nothing more than a memory. As the Marines evacuated the molten covered city, Team Theta evacuated to Long Horn Valley. There they met up with the ready stationed UNSC Aegis Fate on a evacuation course back to Earth. After a brief but violent skirmish with the remaining Covenant foes in the area, Theta Team boarded the Aegis Fate, escaped from Reach and returned back to Earth. Clearly this was a battle Alex will never forget.
