The Crushing Fist, Our Final Acts == Early History == Alek (short for Alexander) Staley lived in the universe originally inhabited by the [[Dreamer On High]], outside the [[Outer Shield]]. He had a brother, Will, and has a sister, Laura. Diagnosed with a mental disorder which causes difficulty in distinguishing the difference between reality and dreams, for which he originally took medication. Subsequent exposure to the [[Dreamer On High]] has since induced a permanent change which has rectified the disorder. Described as grubby and unshaven, as well as a fan heavy metal such as Megadeth and Dio. Alek encountered the [[Brownshirt]]s after their exodus from their universe, which was consumed by Von Neumann machines, and assisted in freeing a number of them from the [[Dreamer On High]]. The [[Brownshirt]]s gave Alek a small metallic chip [[Metallic Chip]] which shows a way to a safe haven, similar to that retrieved by the unnamed brunette woman [[Cristina Thompson]] on the parallel Earth controlled by the [[Cordyceps Fungus]]. == Recent History == Alek has since teamed up with [[Danny]], [[Thomas]] and the other members of their group in an effort to fight [[The Crushing Fist]]. He has become part of [[The Council]], the defacto leadership of the vast number of refugees that flooded inwards towards [[The First World]], prior to its destruction. Alek has also become something of a hero to many refugees, who revere him for his actions against the [[Dreamer On High]] and leading people towards [[The First World]] away from danger. Alek has since commenced a mission to an 'Amber' world, or [[Branch World]]. The shield cracks were accessed via [[Earth 44]], however the [[Mictlan]] have already arrived in that world. Alek and his volunteers do not expect to survive their attempt to negotiate with the [[Mictlan]], and Alek has passed a presumed final message to [[Ashley]] via [[Heath]], as well as instructions let his sister die peacefully should he also not survive.  Traits:Varied, in part due to the effects of the [[Dreamer On High]]. Since having his mental state cleared through the effects of the [[Dreamer On High]], his personality could be described as introverted but caring.
