Alex Z-41
Alex Z-41 (born Alex George Dreyer) is a synthetic revolutionary and the CSO of Sakura Cybernetics. They became an anthro during TransForm's early gene editing program, and then later a PRISM synthetic as they aged; they are one of the oldest living humans. As a Blackbird revolutionary, Alex led the charge in London to destroy Helios Tower, making them directly responsible for the events of the London Revolution and the creation of the Thames Republic. Despite this, they deliberately asked to keep their contributions to the revolution secret, not wanting to attract the public attention being labelled a hero would bring. They currently live in the Republic, but often undertake interplanetary travel for both work and leisure.

Appearance
Alex is a slim anthro wolf with white fur and light grey markings, and is approximately 5'8" tall. They have black hair and blue eyes. As is common with most PRISM synths, their right wrist sports a glowing status ring that indicates their power status. They have a long, bushy tail similar to other lupine anthros.
Their body includes many non-standard modifications above even those granted to Sakura employees; including a custom long-range radio system, triple-composite subdermal armour, a smart weapon target acquisition computer, and a heads-up display based on open source software originally used by Blackbird revolutionaries.
Personality
Alex is highly intelligent, and is often curious, constantly in the pursuit of knowledge. They like to deeply understand how systems work, studying them carefully and building their own from scratch. They have highly egalitarian and socialist ethics; commonly advocating for tighter regulations against megacorporations and higher scrutiny over organisations such as Raven.
They are often burdened by demons of the past; especially in relation to the conflicts they fought in, worrying whether they could have prevented more loss of life than they did. They're generally a pacifist, though they don't hesitate to use proportionate force to protect those they care about.
Hobbies
Besides their position at Sakura, Alex is involved in a large number of personal activities. These include open security research and working on a number of personal open-source projects. They travel often, with a near-unlimited travel budget paid for by Sakura. They are also a gamer, and they participate in both real-world and VR combat tournaments as a way to keep their skills sharp. Additionally, they are involved in the sports of ice and rock climbing. They are also frequently involved in urban exploration. In most of their hobbies, they prefer to stay pseudonymous for operational security reasons, though they share more with those they trust.
Occasionally, Alex also conducts covert operations against megacorporations and other entities with the assistance of close friends, in efforts to expose illicit or unethical activities. Due to the high risks involved, this is not something they do often. These operations have resulted in the public exposure of several illegal BioCorp and Paradigm projects; Helios Corporation is also a target for them due to their personal history with the company.
Career
London Revolution
In the late 2040s, Alex was recruited as a member of the London-based insurgent group Blackbird, who aimed to release the grip Helios held on Central London. In =Worlds/1 Calamity/Locations/Milky Way/Solar System/Earth/Europe/Northwest Europe/Great Britain/*Events/London Revolution.date.year, an elite group of Blackbird operatives led by Alex was responsible for launching the assault on Helios Tower that destroyed the tower and began the London Revolution.
