What you would all likely know about Alex:
* He has done a reasonable amount of smuggling.
* He reads a lot - often big books with complicated titles. If your paying attention you may recently have seen him reading Plato's Euthyphro. Or the book mentioned in the first post which I can't remember.
* He may be a smuggler, but he does seem to have a strong sense of right and wrong. It may not have come up yet, but it will be an easy deduction before long.
*He doesn't show it off, but anyone with a brain will wuickly realize that he is educated.
Wyatt and Pops - since you did the interviewing
* Alex has a strong background in ancient earth objects. He has smuggled some of these in the past.
* He has traveled a fair amount around the system.
* He didn't disclose his background more than a year or two back.
* You likely didn't catch it, but Alex does not believe in fate, the rule of 3 or any such thing. We make our own fate. His life, his choices, and nobody else can make them for him.
* When hired he made it clear he would transport stuff, but he had no intention of doing something that was truly black. He mentioned a previous run he pulled out of because of biologicals. In all honesty I'm not quite sure what the exact right item would be but the idea is that he will haul stolen goods and rebellion goods but he wouldn't do something he believed would harm millions. Drugs, for example, would be hard for him if he knew.
