{Personality}Alex can be a difficult person to get a read on. Most of the time, he seems to act recklessly and clumsily, having very little knowledge of the ‘real world’ and how it works, rendering him apparently no more than a man-child who dresses oddly. On the other hand, when performing investigative work, he suddenly becomes a different person entirely. Serious and professional, he will go to great lengths to close his case. On account of his bookishness as a child and inability to care for himself effectively as an adult, he has very few friends, but those who earn his notoriously difficult-to-gain trust can rest assured that they have a fiercely combative ally who is willing to play dangerous mind games and gambits against his opponents to gain the upper ground in a fight.
{History}Alex was born as the first and only child of a working class family in Ireland. Other children found him odd and avoided him, leaving him without friends for the majority of his childhood. Instead, he found company in his grandfather, who used to be a police detective. He enjoyed listening to his grandfather’s stories about detective work, which is where Alex first discovered his desire to become a detective himself.
He became a more distant child after that, replacing his lack of friends with books and reading detective stories by various authors, including Arthur Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie. His family moved in 1998, when he was 7 years old, due to racial abuse they were receiving, having been living in a strongly English part of Ireland whose residents didn’t take too kindly to the Irish after the Good Friday Agreement. They moved to Miami, Florida and it is there that Alex spent his formative teenage years.
At the age of 14, he got his first taste of real crime when his parents were murdered when they happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. A drug deal went sour not far from where the family was sitting at the local park. Shots were fired, and Alex’s parents were caught in the crossfire. His mother pushed him to the ground, taking the bullet that would have otherwise hit Alex. He lay there for an hour, horrified, but too scared to cry in case the dealers were still around. When the police finally arrived and discovered him, he was taken to the station, weeping uncontrollably from both sadness and relief that he wouldn’t die. The dealers had left the scene and no one was caught in relation to the murders.
His grandfather, his closest living relative, was notified and decided to fly over immediately. With nothing else in Ireland for him, Alex’s grandfather stayed in Miami with Alex. It was around this time that Alex started seriously working towards becoming a detective, pouring over any book he could find on the subject instead of learning other skills that teenagers at his age would learn. He dropped out of school at 15 to get a job and afford the necessary training, as well as a gun license and revolver he bought when he turned 21. He now lives in Miami as a private investigator in a tiny rented office, taking almost any case that arrives on his desk in an effort to help the little guy, so that no one else would have to go through what he did, with no closure for a crime committed against them or without anyone to stand up for them.
At the age of 24, a particularly gruesome case had him investigating a drug ring. He felt that the case was personal to him, since he had never caught his parents' killers and, naturally, played his hand too early and got caught He was beaten and tortured by various grunts for hours before their leader appeared to finish Alex off himself. Suddenly, repressed memories returned to Alex has he saw the man's scarred face. He remembered seeing him at the park the day his parents died, and that he puled the trigger on the 1st gun to go off that day. The druglord gloated and mocked him, laughing at how he would kill Alex and dump his body in the sea. No one would find him and no one would know who killed him. The thought of suffering the same fate as his parents triggered something deep within Alex. As he wished with all his might to strangle the man in front of him, a pair of red and blue hands appeared and wrapped their hands around the druglord's neck. The henchmen didn't know what to do as their leader struggled for breath before going limp with a deafening snap, as his neck was jerked to the side by an invisible force. Before they knew what to do, their guns had flown out of their hands and each of them was arrested and turned in by Alex
Now over a year later, Alex has been using his Stand, Mr. Brightside, to solve more complex supernatural cases. As more and more of these cases found their way to his desk, he took it upon himself to find out why so many Stand users were suddenly appearing. Throwing his trenchcoat over his shoulders, he hit the streets.
