==History==
+
'''Alexander Carlyle''' (27 July, [[3036]]<ref>''[[Day of Heroes]]'', pg. 7</ref> &ndash; ) is the son of famed mercenary commander [[Grayson Carlyle]] and [[Lori Kalmar]]. He served with the [[1st Royal Guards]] on [[Tharkad]] as the commander of their Lightning company. Alexander began service in the [[LAAF]] as a way to further bind the [[Gray Death Legion]] to [[Katherine Steiner-Davion]].
===Early life===
 
Alexander was born on [[Sudeten]].<ref name=DoHp16>''Day of Heroes'', p. 16</ref>
 
  
===Destruction of the Legion===
+
==Speculation==
When the famous Gray Death Legion was destroyed in [[3065]] and most of its personnel killed, Alexander Carlyle requested his release to begin rebuilding the mercenary company, but Katherine Steiner-Davion would not allow him to resign from his posting with the [[Royal Guards]].<ref>''The Dying Time''</ref>
+
It has never been explicitly stated as to whether or not Alex survived the [[FedCom Civil War]], or the [[Jihad]] that followed.  
  
After the [[FedCom Civil War]], Alex intended to rebuild the Legion. However, this was not possible as his family's claim to [[Glengarry]] had been stripped, and the [[Mercenary Review Board|Mercenary Review and Bonding Commission]] indicated that because of the Legion's spotty track record with turning on their employers, they could not be appropriately graded.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3058 Upgrade'', p. 22</ref>

Instead, Duke Brewer of [[Hesperus II]] raised a corporate security force, [[Brewer's Legion]], from the remains of the Gray Death Legion and gifted it to [[Gray Death Technologies]] on [[Glengarry]] as a security force in [[3067]]. According to rumors, Alexander Carlyle, recently discharged from the LAAF as of November 3067, was expected to join that unit as its executive officer soon.<ref>''Handbook: House Steiner'', p. 143</ref> However, that apparently did not come to pass and Brewer's Legion was utterly vanquished in the field on 17 December [[3069]] by [[Word of Blake]] forces.
 
  
He survived the destruction of Brewer's Legion and went to ground fighting the [[Word of Blake]] on [[Tharkad]] in an ''[[Archer]]''. After the [[Jihad]], Archon [[Adam Steiner]] reinstated Alexander's titles and making him Count of [[Odessa]].<ref name=RGiCv10p8/>

{{ApocryphalContentStart}}
 
In the ''[[MechWarrior IV: Mercenaries]]'' computer game, due to timeline, the information states that [[Alexander Carlyle]] was able to rebuild the Gray Death Legion after their destruction on Hesperus II by working with Daniel Brewer.
