Alex/Skullshatterer (Arknights)

Personality:   Skullshatterer, real name Alex, is the son of Sergei, an Ursus scientist and an accomplice of Kal'tsit and Ilia (Crownslayer's father), and the younger brother of Misha. At some point during his childhood, Alex and Misha were held hostage by the Ursus government to force Sergei to reveal Ilia's involvement in the research of the Sarcophagus in Chernobog. After the incident, Sergei disappeared and their mother was the only one who could take care of both Alex and Misha. However, Alex's family eventually contracted Oripathy. Although the mother tried to keep it as a secret from others, the Infected Patrols discovered it during an anti-Infected pogrom and Alex witnessed his mother getting dragged off and murdered by them when she tried to protect the children. This event would traumatize Alex and fuel his hatred towards those who discriminate and oppresse the Infected, no matter who they are. Since his separation with his sister, Alex joined Reunion where he saw it as the only one capable of delivering a just retribution for the Infected. Under the title "Skullshatterer," he led a Reunion cell named "Assault Squad" in various operations inside and around Lungmen. He was noted to be fanatically devoted to Reunion's ideals, more than the others. He wields a pair of grenade launchers that can fire armor-rupturing, high-explosive Originium grenades and a pair of blades in each arm which he uses in close combat. Prior to the main plot of the story, Skullshatterer aided Crownslayer in tracking down his father Sergei in order to assassinate him, but whether Skullshatterer willingly allowed her to kill his own father remains unknown. He eventually found out that he and Misha were used as a pawn by Reunion from W And Crownslayer, Shattering whatever ideals he had. Skullshatterer eventually snapped out of his fanaticism and deserted Reunion, Realizing Rhodes Island was right all along. Talulah had betrayed the cause of the Infected, and It brought Skullshatterer straight back to reality, realizing his own actions. After Reunion's downfall, He took his sister Misha and left Ursus, But not before killing some of his former comrades that were chasing after him. He bid farewell to W and the others, telling them to survive and not end up like Talulah did. Thanks to Crownslayer, He and Misha got a job at Siracusa's Pizzeria, settling into his new life and leaving his past sins behind. He is no longer fanatical or vengeful And is a lot calmer than he was before. While he does hate the world for how they treat the infected, He refuses to fight unless necessary. He is also protective of his sister Misha.
