•Profile/Background:

Military past: Alex Fairchild was an Iowa farmboy who escaped the cornbelt by attending West Point. An iconoclast who abhorred bureaucracy, Alex ended up joining the Special Forces (not only because of his roughhousing but also his womanizing). After sleeping with a general's wife, his career in the "regular" army was crippled before it even started. Soon, he found his home with the Green Berets where he was not only a proficient soldier but also the "go-to guy" when things needed to get done or found.

The IO past: Alex caught the attention of John Lynch, who'd been assigned to put together Team 7 by Miles Craven. When Alex was exposed to the Gen-Factor, he carried out various missions for Craven while he was with Team 7. Soon, he escaped from IO when Team 7 dispanded. Post IO past: When Alex went into hiding with the other renegade members of Tean 7, he established a special friendship with Lucius (a pirate). At this time, he was reunited with his daughter, Caitlin Fairchild. He currently resides with Lynch and the Gen13 kids.
