Years of training and arduous patrols with the Marines have given Alex a lean, yet muscular physique. Medical Ailments: Slightly unhinged. Due to traumatic events experienced on tours of duty, he often has trouble keeping his emotions in check and expressing them to others. This also often leads to what appears to be a lack of empathy. Nationality: American/Spanish. Occupation: On compassionate leave from the USMC. Four Week History: Some would say Alex was in hell before the outbreak. Upon returning home from a nightmarish 12 month deployment with the USMC to Afghanistan, Alex was placed on compassionate leave on the grounds of emotional instability after a breakdown on the first night of returning to the US. He spent the next 4 weeks in Solitude, holed up in his dark, desolate apartment, haunted by the memories of lost comrades and the faces of people he'd had to kill. The news of the outbreak was just a drop of water in the vast ocean of depression his mind was drowning in. Although it was only a matter of time before the infection came a-knockin' on his door. And that it did. After a very close encounter with his recently turned next door neighbor, something clicked in Alex's head. The world was ending and if he didn't pull himself out of the depths of despair he'd sunk to, he'd die alone and helpless. His worst fear. After hearing a looped message on the radio about a possible haven in Easton, Alex gathered his kit and headed out into the apocalyptic wasteland. He hadn't made it more than a few miles, when he was forced to take cover in a school to avoid a large group of shambelers. Heading in, Alex saw a rather odd, fortified bus hastily parked near the entrance... Survivors?
