Physical description
Aleksandr Hazen was described as a man of broad shoulders, muscular neck, brown skin, black hair and straight nose, usually smiling with genuine joy.[1]
Personal History
Like his sister, he was a keen student of military history, where he learned about the Clan's previous mistakes. Both siblingss were always together, being named The Eyes of the Falcon. Both won the Hazen Bloodname in their first trial, but he did it without killing any of his rivals. After attaining the rank of Galaxy Commander, Aleksadr received the command of Zeta Galaxy, a green and dezgra tainted unit. He participated at the the Desant as one of the three leader's operation, with Malvina and Beckett Malthus. Aleksandr lead the raid on the Lyran world of Porrima, taking a space station without firing a shot, and later leading the ground assault.[2] 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.[3] 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.[4] 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.[5]
Death
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.[6] 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.[7]
Legacy
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.[8] 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 only were to kill everybody in the universe, Clanner or not, friend or foe.[9] 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.[10] [11] 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[12]
BattleMechs
The only know OmniMech Aleksandr piloted all his career was a Gyrfalcon which he named White Lily.[13]
Personality
Aleksandr was a surprisingly emphatic men, mourning for every dead in a battle, friends or foes, but saw it as a necessary evil.[14] He too loved his sister, and wanted to protect everybody from her, but without never hurting her.
