When Umbrella inc. gave him a way out, he took it and joined the Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service where he stayed for two years until he and the other members of the U.B.C.S. were dropped off in Raccoon City September 28th, 1998. Here, he teamed up with former S.T.A.R.S. Charlie Team member Tori Hitoshi to escape the city and afterwards became an anti-Umbrella activist. After Umbrella's collapse, he became an operative of the B.S.A.A. where his tactical skills, fighting experience, resilience and knowledge of B.O.W.s serve him well in his operations.

[edit] History

[edit] Raccoon City Outbreak

Alex, along with the rest of the U.B.C.S. platoons was deployed to Raccoon City in the heart of the outbreak in September of 1998 to combat the biohazardous threat and rescue any survivors. Unfortunately for the Alex, these events would change his life forever. Soon after touching down, the mission went wrong and he was forced to fight for his life in the nightmare that was to be known as the Raccoon City Incident. After a couple of hours of navigating a territory he was unfamiliar with, he managed to run into former S.T.A.R.S. Charlie Team member Tori Hitoshi. Happy to see a face that wasn't trying to kill him, he introduced himself and the fact that he was apart of the U.B.C.S and offered his assistance to her. Tori, angry that Umbrella was trying to cover themselves by sending in a paramilitary force to combat a threat that they caused refused a confused Alex's help and left his company. Once again, Alex was on his own.

After another hour of traveling alone, he found Tori being corner by a horde of zombies who was armed with a broomstick, her gun jammed. Alex dispatched the small horde of undead and explained that his reasoning for being there and that the two would need to work together if they were to survive. Reluctantly, Tori agreed to the suggestion and the two began to make their way to St. Michael Clock Tower. Along the way, they battled many B.O.W.s that had either escaped containment or been accidentally created by the effects of the T-virus spill. The two also encounter Nemesis(on numerous occasions), a Tyrant specially designed to eliminate S.T.A.R.S. members. Eventually, the two were able to make their way to St. Michael Clock Tower and signaled the helicopter that was standing by to rescue them. The two called the helicopter over to their position in joy.

Unfortunately, their happiness was short-lived. Just as the helicopter came in for a landing, Nemesis blew their hopes of escape into hundreds of pieces with a rocket launcher. In anger, Tori attacked the creature with every weapon she had available while Alex fled and hid nearby. Realizing that Tori would most likely not survive the encounter alone with this creature, he jumped into the battle as Tori was beginning to become overpowered. Alex proceed to blow up the creatures rocket launcher, severely damaging the monster while Tori hit it with all the firepower she had left. Eventually, Nemesis fled the scene and although both wanted to give chase, Alex and Tori retreated into the clock tower and locked themselves inside.

For the next two days, Alex and Tori stayed within the confines of the clock tower, hopeless and defeated. During this time, the two became very close, sharing many stories of their life. On October 1st however, Alex remembered a overhearing Umbrella officials talking about different secret Umbrella facilities located in and around Raccoon, the closest(and best) one being the P-12A Incinerator Facility or Dead Factory. This being their last hope, Alex and Tori loaded up with what weapons they had at their disposal and made their way late the next day. The two once again battled a variety of B.O.W.s, zombies and even ran into a small group of five U.B.C.S soldiers also heading toward the Dead Factory in hopes of finding escape. By late in the evening however, the duo reached the bridge leading to the Dead Factory entrance.

As they crossed the bridge however, a familiar and unwanted presence made itself known. Nemesis approached from behind, having been either waiting at the Factory or trailing the unsuspecting duo. As the creature made it's way toward them, Alex knew that something had to be done about it. So, to allow Tori to escape, Alex charged the creature and threw both it and himself over the edge and into the water below. Luckily for Alex, Nemesis plunged into the water first and broke his fall. While Nemesis was swept away by the current, Alex managed to swim to nearby rocks and pull himself back onto to shore. Taking this as a sign that he was not to die in Raccoon, Alex proceed forward with his morale higher than it had ever been in his life.

Fighting solo for a bit, Alex managed to stumble across a working helicopter and partly dismantled Army Humvee. Taking a rocket launcher from the broken down automobile, he once again entered the Dead Factory to search for Tori. Soon enough, he once again reunited with the former S.T.A.R.S. member who was trapped in battle with a heavily mutated Nemesis inside of the disposal chamber. Opening the chamber up, he proceed to blow most of the Tyrant's upper body to pieces via the launcher he acquired earlier. Tori, overjoyed at seeing Alex was alive and well, activated the disposal mechanism and sent what was left of Nemesis's body into the dissolving pool. As the two made their way to the helicopter, they were ambushed by Nicholai Ginovaef who informed that the city was going to be bombed and that only he would escape. The crazed Umbrella agent then blasted Alex with automatic fire, seemingly killing him. In retaliation, Tori gunned down Nicholai who's gun had, unfortunately for him, jammed. Luckily for Alex, he had a bullet proof vest which he'd also acquired from the Humvee. Alex and Tori once again made their way toward the helicopter which would take them to freedom.

But alas, they were not to escape right away. The Nemesis, who had now mutated beyond human shape, once again attacked them, unwilling to fail in his mission and allow Tori to escape. Unleashing a barrage of gunfire upon the creature, Alex and Tori made their way toward the exit that led to chopper. On the way, Tori found a large cannon and not willing to let this monster live for the all the grief it had brought them, blasted the creature with an intense beam of energy, finally ending the creatures life once and for all. Alex and Tori then quickly went to the helicopter where Alex piloted them up and out of the city just as the bombs hit Raccoon and wiped it off the map. The two landed at a nearby temporarily set-up military base and were promptly tended to.

[edit] The Umbrella V.I.R.A.L. Dome facility incident

Nearly a year and a half later, Alex, now apart of an anti-Umbrella activist group along with Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine, Rebecca Chambers, Barry Burton, Tori Hitoshi and large number of others who had their own reason for hating Umbrella is in a meeting along with the others. The group has recently gotten wind of a facility on a secluded island out just a few miles away off the eastern coast of South America that is experimenting with a new virus that is simply known as the R-virus. The Facility is known as the Virus Intelligence and Research Acquisition Legion, or V.I.R.A.L., Dome. As the discussion progresses, it is decided that a recon mission to gather information on this virus will be lead and the only thing left to decide is who will go. As Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine and Tori Hitoshi are off on other missions while Rebecca Chambers and Barry Burton are on temporary leave, Alex volunteers himself to lead the mission and selects a small number of individuals based on their skills, experience and former occupations to come to with him.

The individuals are Ian Brown, a large thirty-nine year old man who, before becoming apart of the group was a security guard and prior to that served the Los Angles S.W.A.T. for eight years; Robert Waterson, a twenty-eight year old Car Salesman who attended military school as a teen and is secretly working with the activists; Jesse Grant, a thirty-one year old paramedic who openly an anti-Umbrella activist, but like Robert, is secretly working with this specific group; and finally, James Rider, a twenty-seven man who was formerly apart of the Navy SEALs Special Ops who retired from the military months ago and immediately afterwards joined the anti-Umbrella group.

As the selected members are readying themselves, a rookie member of the group comes to Alex and begs him to allow her to come. At first, Alex refuses her pleads due to the facts that she has just joined the anti-Umbrella group, her age and inexperience with just about everything needed for this mission. Alex decides to leave the decision to a group vote. Outnumbered, Alex allows the newcomer, freshly turned twenty-year old Laura Morris, to accompany them only due to the fact that she is a technology whiz. Due to James's connections with many higher-ups in the SEALs, he is able to acquire much weaponry for the group as well a military grade hydrofoil patrol gunboat that will be used to sneak onto the island.

Unfortunately, the mission was a complete and total failiure. Donald Turner, a rouge Umbrella scientist had "accidentally" unleashed an unknown number of experimental wasp-like cretaures known as a T-Spreaders three days prior to the groups arrival which, as the name suggests, was created purely to be able to spread the T-virus through a poisonous sting. Most of the natives people, animals, insects and some plants were infected. In the end, there were multiple causilties, leaving only four survivors; Alex, Laura, Jesse and Alan Brisby(an Umbrella specimen handler who joined the group while they were inside of the facility), one of which received serious injuries and another was later found and killed by Umbrella. Not to mention, all data, samples and scientists involved in making the R-virus were lost when the V.I.R.A.L. Dome and the island it was on was bombed and destroyed only ten mintues after the surviving members of the anti-Umbrella group escaped.
