Personal History		Alex was born to a posh family who still practiced commerce to the disdain of many people on Earth. The moneyless economy of the Federation did not displace the wealthy of the world if WW3 couldn't. The Richardsons of Liverpool held high station in the days after the war. The Warp Five engine has many people to thank, and Aloysious Richardson was among them. Alex was forbidden to join the Starfleet Service, feeling the only heir to the fortune couldn't leave their rank and station behind. When Alex left for the Academy his parents cut him off entirely, something Alex felt was truly the best thing that could have happened. He sold all of his trappings to finance the trip to Earth and arrived without a penny to his name. Alex dedicated his life to Starfleet and served with gusto. He wasn't suited for medicine, finding his estimation for measuring if a person had mortal wounds or illness was skewed to the negative. Engines were fun, but he grew bored often in the repetitive maintenance. Operations held challenges aplenty but the aspect of an endless duty roster felt just as tedious. Command was where he truly shined, not for any other reason than his cross training was flawless. Alex could sit in any chair, had natural charisma, and didnt use a catch phrase. These things made him a cadet-legend. However, the pattern held true. Even Command, comes with rote tasks, and routines designed by people who clearly immune to boredom. Alex began to slip, making small errors in judgement, letting discipline slide, facing more than a few reviews calling him "rutterless." An encounter with an unknown craft pit his best wits against the WOLF, a sister ship to the IBEX little did he know. He caught them, with a tenacity he had never shown before, due to the thrill of the challenge. WOLF manages to convince Alex to let them go, and Alex is awestruck. He begins to investigate trying to find more. He accepts a demotion to pursue the investigation on his own before being contacted by an agent of the IBEX. His efforts are shining lights, and the agent must erase Alex' memories to keep their organization undercover. Alex overcomes the agent, but does not injure him or kill him, instead asking to join the crew. A decision is made that this is as good as any other solution, and it is agreed upon. Alex is told to discredit himself in Starfleet and resign with little chance of return as a cover, and given the opertional mandates of secrecy to follow. When Alex boldly asks a fleet Admiral for a ship to be captain of again, Starfleet tells him he can try out a senior office to get his sea legs back. Alex then tells off the Admiral in a public way, and is promptly charged, where he resigns in low to medium disgrace. A year goes by and Alex doesnt hear from the IBEX and he feels utterly fooled. Realizing if he said anything to anyone it'd sound like madness he seethed and returned home to his family. After another year, Alex has made a new life, and in the middle of the night one night he is whisked away. Service on the IBEX demanded every skill and taught him new stuff to boot. He was thrilled, and earned the only rank on the ship, Captain.
