Biography:

The most influential person in his life is his mom. (He's a reluctant momma's boy.) He was raised singlehandedly by his stubborn mother, who gave up her shaky booze-filled money-lacking life as soon as she found out she was pregnant. Her only comment on his dad--"that bastard... whoever he was." She is a sometimes very scary buff mom whose job is a personal trainer at the local gym. Through her hard work, Alex grew up able to have a fairly comfortable childhood.

As a result, she constantly reminded him not to take for granted her hard work and that he'd better "grow up to be the man she fed him to be." Being quite manly herself, she constantly pressured Alex to taking up sports and other manly activities. This nagging usually took the form of her personally trying to train Alex using her 'pain becomes success' life motto. However, the nagging unfortunately only yielded her an Alex who picked up on her verbal patterns (ie. excessive cursing) and threw them back at her with twice the wit.

Alex dodged his mom's efforts to get him into physical hobbies not because he couldn't do them, but because he simply wasn't interested. He played the role of teenager perfectly, and in a rebellious fit started a band in high school, which prompted him to dye his hair what his mom calls "that fuckugly color". The band broke up within a few months but he kept the hair.

In her last effort to make something manly and successful out of Alex, his mom persuaded him to enroll in Milizia. Alex wasn't too keen on at first, but the idea grew on him.
