He’s smart and loves Technology, Alexander always has had a unique connection with computer systems and tech overall, He’s a bit of a reserved and quiet individual, he lets his actions speak more for him. He spends more time with computers and code than with other people. As such he can be seen as reclusive and mysterious.
He believes in a form of a code of honor, and follows that code above anything else, if he’s gonna do something he’s gonna do it right. That being said, if it endangers a friend or someone close to his friends, He’ll more than happily go off script and make things more difficult for those who are trying to cause harm. He’s a bit of a prodigy when it comes to computers especially bypassing their security countermeasures, and implementing his own. He enjoys puzzles and riddles, and often integrates it into his work, just to make things more fun. He created the Hacker tag “Plague” as a way of getting in with parts of the digital underground, and uses it to keep an eye on the activity of the criminal organizations. Officially he works as a Cyber Security Specialist for Solas Tempus, protecting valuable information from getting in the wrong hands. He often seems to know what’s about to hit, just before it hits when it comes to cyber intrusions and attacks. He also loves finding out other’s little secrets, He often times does more help than harm with his skills.
Special Abilities
- Cybernetic integration
- he can integrate with almost any interface in a degree of levels, from simply a holographic display that often he alone can see, to actually sending his consciousness into the digital space so he can work with code more ‘directly’
- Cybernetic implants
- He has specialized, experimental implants designed for intrusion and security work, which grant him the integration ability, and allow him to remote access almost any interface in a given range. He can also remote uplink with his main console / system from anywhere there’s a network connection.
Special Skills
- Hacking Prodigy
- He’s crazy good at cyber intrusion, if he encounters a system he hasn’t cracked yet, it’ll take time for him to break in, but after the first time, it’s like second nature to him.
Special Equipment
- Customized Computer and networking system
- Data runner starship
- earpiece and microphone
Background
Growing up on Earth in the Federation wasn’t exactly a walk in the park all the time for Alex, there was a lot of pressure to be a part of the federation, but he wasn’t interested in engineering, or science, medicine or tactical… Sure security had it’s interests but nothing was like sitting down and working on a computer system, or came was like the thrill of learning how to hack or making the ultimate system that could break into almost any computer on a network. It took him a while, but at the age of 12 he had found how to make it happen, He had learned how to get into his local school’s security system, and he discovered he had a gift, a gift for hacking, He used that gift and his knowledge to watch the different schools in his local area, just watch them, their activity, networks, everything. By the age of 15 he had graduated from high school and went to college.
Interestingly enough He went to college with one Reuben Reid, Reuben was a student in Technology and Engineering, Alex was a student in Technology, specializing in Cyber Security… and intrusion. He had been somewhat successful at being a friend to Reuben, at least enough to be familiar with the man’s code. He had heard about Reuben’s projects and really wanted to see them come to fruition. He left Reuben’s code alone really, not even bothering to break into his network or any of his systems.
One day as he was at school he was approached by a Dark Triad member, who put together a bit of a team to work on some code they had… it didn’t take long for Alex to identify it as one of Reuben’s work, namely one of his AI projects. So Alex quietly locked it down under an encryption, and gave them a temporary interface that would work with the established code, but would eventually cause a conflict… hopefully it would bring whoever the poor little AI was, to go back to Reuben, he had laid a few keys out as a puzzle to be found later, and submitted it, unknown to the Dark Triad of his act. He went his way, Later accepting a Job with Solas Tempus as a Cyber Security Specialist.
In the Hacking and digital intrusion community He goes by the tag ‘Plague’ an unknown and mysterious hacker who hits suddenly and without remorse or mercy, or supposedly, Plague honestly seems to hit more violent and aggressive groups, such as criminal organizations, pirates, terrorists, and similar groups. He’s never told anyone outside of Reuben who walked in on him hacking into a Cardassian mainframe, where he uploaded a particularly nasty hazard virus which had caused their computer systems to have difficulty with targeting, and running really anything outside of life support and food replicators.
