Overview
Alexander is the protagonist of The Lunar Syndicate, a brilliant yet rebellious engineer whose breakthrough in propulsion technology enables independent space travel. His invention sparks the first wave of lunar colonization, but also draws the attention of The Syndicate, a corporate empire seeking total control over humanity’s expansion beyond Earth.
Though highly skilled in engineering, programming, and mechanics, Alexander’s true strength lies in his defiance of centralized power. He refuses to submit to corporate monopolization, making him a symbol of resistance among lunar pioneers.
Background
Born in the United Kingdom, Alexander later immigrates to the United States, where he spends his youth tinkering, inventing, and studying a broad range of sciences and mechanics. He is an eccentric perfectionist, constantly refining his ideas, driven by a vision of a future where technology is open-source and unrestricted.
Despite his genius and ambition, he struggles with loneliness, finding it difficult to connect with others beyond intellectual collaboration. His work often alienates him from major institutions, as he refuses to sell his innovations to corporate or government entities.
