==History==
+
==Personal History==
===Childhood===
+
As her sister, he was a keen student of military history, where he learned about the Clan's previous mistakes. Both brothers were always together, being named ''The Eyes of the Falcon''.
Aleksandr and Malvina came from a particularly violent Jade Falcon ''[[sibko]]''. One night the rest of the children attempted to kill the two in order to gain their food rations. Aleks reacted first but it was Malvina who killed several of their ''[[sibkin]]''. The two were inseparable and as they aged they became lovers and exceptional warriors. Both were keen students of military history, from which they learned of the Clan's previous mistakes. However, they had opposite personalities – Aleks was open, friendly, and honorably competitive, while Malvina was cold and friendless, with sociopathic tendencies. Both were very charismatic and became extraordinary commanders. Eventually only the two would survive the [[The Blooding|Blooding]].
+
Both brothers, winned the Hazen [[Bloodname]] in his first trial, but he did it without killing none of his rivals. After attaining the rank of Galaxy Commander, Aleksadr received the command of [[Zeta Galaxy]], a green and ''dezgra'' tainted unit.  
 +
During the ''Desant'', he lead the raid on the lyran world of [[Porrima]], taking a space station without firing a shot, and later leading the ground assault.<ref>''Flight of the falcon'' p. 45</ref>
 +
In Mai [[3134]] fought in the assault and conquest of the world of [[Chaffee]], taking it easily, but cannot prevent than, after a terrorist attack destroyed a Falcon [[DropShip]], Malvina razed an entire city.<ref>''Flight of the falcon'' p. 103</ref>
 +
Aleksandr's next target was the planet [[Alkaid]], where he made a [[batchcall]] sending a [[Trinary]] to take the planet, fighting a Militia battalion. In July, Zeta took [[Summer]], and despite their losses under an artillery attack, conquered the planet quickly.<ref>''Flight of the falcon'' p. 171</ref>
 +
When all the ''desant'' Galaxies gathered on Skye, was forced to fight a [[trial of Refusal]] against Malvina, to prevent her to ordering an orbital bombardment on the planet. He won it, defeating his sister for the first time.<ref>''Flight of the falcon'' p. 230</ref>
  
===Early career===
+
==Death==
The ''sibkin'' became ''[[ristar]]s'' and were often called the "Eyes of the Falcon". Malvina developed a strong belief in the [[Mongol Doctrine]] and the two fought constantly over philosophical differences, but Aleksandr could only match her, never defeat her. Both ''sibmates'' won the [[Hazen (Bloodname)|Hazen Bloodname]] in their first [[Trial of Bloodright|Trial]], but Aleksandr claimed it without killing any of his rivals. Two ''sibmates'' winning a [[Bloodname]] was historically rare and both became famous throughout the Clan. In time they would each attain the rank of [[Galaxy Commander]]. Aleks requested command of [[Zeta Galaxy (Clan Jade Falcon)|Zeta Galaxy]], a green and ''[[dezgra]]'' unit, believing success with a disgraced force would further his glory.
+
Aleksandr's battle of Skye was the last one for him: he lead the assault, and the defenders were on the verge of defeat, when, surprisingly, the [[Steel Wolves]] of [[Anastasia Kerensky]] joined the battle taking the Republican's side. However, he refused [[Tara Campbell]]'s offer of [[hegira]], and pressed the attack.<ref>''Flight of the falcon'' p. 274</ref>
 +
But not for long: Tara Campbell's [[Hatchetman]] closed on his ''Gyrfalcon'', and delivering a hatchet crippling blow on Aleksandr's cockpit, killing him instantly.<ref>''Flight of the falcon'' p. 275</ref>
  
===''Desant''===
+
==Legacy==
Aleksandr directed the ''[[desant]]'' along with Malvina and [[saKhan of Clan Jade Falcon|saKhan]] [[Beckett Malthus]]. He led the raid on the [[Lyran Commonwealth|Lyran]] world of [[Porrima]], taking a space station without firing a shot, and later led the ground assault.<ref>''Flight of the Falcon'', p. 45</ref> In May [[3134]], he fought in the conquest of [[Chaffee (LC)|Chaffee]], winning it easily. However, he could not prevent Malvina from razing an entire city after a terrorist attack destroyed a Falcon [[Caracara|DropShip]].<ref>''Flight of the Falcon'', p. 103</ref> Aleksandr's next target was [[Alkaid]], where his ''[[batchall]]'' bid of a single [[Trinary]] took the planet from a militia [[battalion]]. In July, Zeta struck [[Summer]], and despite losses to an artillery attack quickly conquered the planet.<ref>''Flight of the Falcon'', p. 171</ref> When all the ''desant'' Galaxies gathered on [[Skye]], he and Malvina debated over the invasion tactics before the Falcon warriors. His ''sibmate'' favored orbital bombardment in accordance with [[Mongol Doctrine]] while Aleks argued for a traditional assault. Malvina won the debate, but Aleksandr demanded a [[Trial of Refusal]] and for the first time defeated her in battle.<ref>''Flight of the Falcon'', p. 230</ref>
+
Alek's death made the warriors of Zeta went berserker, pressing the attack and forcing the Republicans to retreat, allowing them to recover their leader's body before retreating. As Malvina's Mech had been downed too, the Falcons were forced to leave the planet.<ref>''Flight of the falcon'' p. 278</ref>  
 +
Becket Malthus used Aleksandr as scapegoat, blaming him for the defeat in his reports to the Khan.
 +
Aleksandr's death would have long standing consequences: as the Skye defenders failed to kill Malvina, only crippling her, her brother's death would traumatize her: he was the only one in the universe she love, and don't want to kill, and her ambitions onle were to kill everybody in the universe, Clanner or not, friend or foe.<ref>''Flight of the falcon'' p. 291</ref>
 +
Malvina became even more aggressive and ruthless, going so far as to order orbital bombardments over enemy (and allied) forces over a planet's surface, case of the [[Kell Hounds]] on planet [[Timkovichi]] in [[3142]], poisoning with plutonium all the water wells of a planet who dare to resist, case of [[Apostica]], the same year, or even throw a damaged [[WarShip]] on the Jade Falcon's capital on [[Sudeten]].<ref>''A Splinter of Hope-The Anvil'' p. 185/ref> <ref>''A Splinter of Hope-The Anvil'' p. 190/ref>
 +
However, some Falcons, the later called ''Traditionalists'', inspired by Aleksandr, keep alive his legacy, controlling the ruthless followers of the Mongol Doctrine, treating their defeated enemies honorably and defending the Falcon's traditions, case of [[Noritomo Helmer]] and Galaxy Commander [[Stephanie Chistu]].<ref>''A Splinter of Hope-The Anvil'' p. 76/ref>
  
===Death===
+
==BattleMechs==
Aleksandr died during the [[Skye#Dark Age|Battle for Skye]]. He led the assault, but reinforcements from the [[Steel Wolves]] turned the tide. Headhunting [[Tara Campbell]], who commanded the defenders, he refused her offer of ''[[hegira]]'' and was killed by a blow to his [[cockpit]] from her ''[[Hatchetman]]''.<ref>''Flight of the Falcon'', p. 275</ref>
+
The only know OmniMech Aleksandr piloted all his career was a [[Gyrfalcon]] which he named ''White Lily''.<ref>''Flight of the falcon'' p. 13</ref>
 
 
===Legacy===
 
Aleks' death made the warriors of Zeta go berserk and they were able to recover his body before falling back. As Malvina had been injured as well, the Falcons were forced to retreat from the planet.<ref>''Flight of the Falcon'', p. 278</ref>
 
 
 
Becket Malthus used Aleksandr as a scapegoat, blaming him for the defeat in his report to the [[Jana Pryde|Khan]].{{cn}} Aleks' death would have long-term consequences: Malvina was traumatized and lost the counterbalance to her sociopathic behavior and adherence to the Mongol Doctrine. Unleashed, she demanded annihilation of all of her enemies, Clan or not. She commanded the orbital bombardment of [[Timkovichi]] to destroy the [[Kell Hounds]], used plutonium to poison the water of resisting planets, and smashed a [[WarShip]] onto the Jade Falcon capital on [[Sudeten]] to win the [[Jade Falcon Civil War]].{{cn}} Eventually, the Mongol Doctrine would dominate the Clan and she reigned as the Chinggis Khan.
 
  
 
==Personality==
 
==Personality==
Aleks was a surprisingly empathetic man for a Jade Falcon, mourning the dead whether friend or foe. Nevertheless, he saw war as a necessary evil.<ref>''Flight of the Falcon'', p. 172</ref> Despite their differences, his sister loved him and he her, and he wanted to protect Malvina from the cruelty of the universe and the universe from her cruelty.
