He was a known gambler that one day found himself severely indebted to his [[battalion]] commander.<ref name=TBWCp11>''Tales of the Black Widow Company'', pp. 11 "Alex Ward"</ref>
A member of the [[Clans]] and a [[Bloodnamed]] warrior of the [[Ward (Bloodname)|Ward]] [[Bloodhouse]], Alex was dishonored beyond redemption by his gambling habit, including losses to lower [[Clan Caste System|castes]]. He therefore jumped at the opportunity to join the Dragoons in the [[Inner Sphere]] and start anew, with whom he was with [[Natasha Kerensky]], one of the few Bloodnamed Dragoons.<ref name=RG13 /><ref name=RGC/>
