Summary: A long time British hunter and tracker. With the opening of the frontier Alexander decided it was his chance to take his hunt to the next level. He needed smarter and more dangerous prey; Humans. However not any humans would do. Only those with the dangerous reputations and high bounties would be sufficient to sate Alexanders blood lust. His only love in life is the hunt and everything it entails.
History: As a child Alexander and his parents lived off the land on the English country side. Alexander's father taught him how to farm and hunt. Alexander despised farm work but absolutely adored hunting and seemed to have a natural talent for it. On one occasion at the age of 12 Alexander killed a wild boar with a hunting knife by leaping on it from a tree.
After reaching the age of 18 Alexander decided he was done with farm work. He moved to a medium sized town where he made a living off of his hunting skills. He sold meat and hides from the animals he killed. He wore clothes made of animal hides himself. After some time Alexander gained some fame as the local hunting expert.
When Alexander reached the age of 24 Alexander was getting very bored and considering quitting the hunt. He couldn't be bothered with the same old locations and same old prey. Then opportunity knocked. The wealthy owner of a steel mill came to Alexander's home. He was planning a trip to Africa to hunt exotic animals. He wanted a hunting expert with him on the trip. He offered Alexander a large sum of money to be that expert. Alexander accepted the offer wholeheartedly. In truth he would have done it for free.
Alexander became entranced with the land of Africa and the strange animals there were to hunt. It was as if he had started anew in a new world. Alexander led the rich man in a very successful hunt. At one point Alexander and the hunting party were tracking a tiger and it leaped from the trees directly at Alexander. While the animal leaped Alexander quickly raised his rifle and shot the beast straight through the head however it still had it's momentum and it's claw left a massive scar on Alexander's chest. Alexander wanted more experiences like this. He wanted to participate in more struggles of life and death.
After a very successful hunting trip, Alexander became well known among wealthy hunting enthusiasts. Alexander moved to London and began taking frequent hunting trips to foreign lands. He continued this for years. He learned much of the culture of wealthy businessmen and began to become one himself. He stopped wearing animal hides and began wearing fancy suits. He went from being a backwoods farmers son, and became a charismatic gentleman.
At the age of 35 Alexander had amassed a fortune but with nothing to spend it on. He only had one interest. He needed to hunt yet even these foreign lands he frequented began to bore him. He needed smarter prey. Prey that could compete with his intellect. When news found it's way to Alexander about the chaos of western America and the widespread lawlessness of the land he realized his new destiny. He was finished hunting animals. His new target would be the criminals of the wild west.
Alexander now makes his way Yornley due to recent sightings of the infamous Butcher Bill. To Alexander it was just a game and he was always looking for tougher opponents. This Butcher Bill seemed a worthy challenge.
