==Biography==
===Lineage and Early Life===
Bred as a [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarrior]], Aleksandr was born of a rare exchange of genetic material between Clan Ghost Bear and [[Clan Wolf]], with paternal genetic material derived from Clan founder [[Nicholas Kerensky]] and maternal material from Ghost Bear cofounder [[Hans Jorgensson]]. Though disallowed from claiming the jealously guarded Kerensky [[Bloodname]], the Bears intended the resulting ''[[sibko]]'' to be the finest bred by their Clan in a hundred years, with Aleksandr—named in honor of the [[Clans]]' Great Father [[Aleksandr Kerensky]]—hoped to be the pride of the ''sibko''. The last survivor of his ''sibko'''s training cycle, in a crushing blow both to him personally and the hopes of his Clan, Aleksandr would be critically injured during his [[Trial of Position]] mere moments before scoring his first kill, narrowly missing his chance to become a MechWarrior.<ref name=FMWC-99/>

After nearly a year of recovery, Aleksandr was allowed to test for an alternate branch in the Bear's [[touman]]. Despite showing an aptitude for aerospace piloting, at two-meters tall Aleksandr was unable to fit into the cockpit of an [[aerospace fighter]], forcing him into armored vehicle training. While not his first choice, Aleksandr flourished, driven to excel to make up for his failure to his Bloodlines, his second Trial of Position showing off his brilliant leadership skills as he earned two kills and the rank of [[Star Commander]].<ref name=FMWC-99/>

===Clan Invasion===
By the [[Clan Invasion]] Aleksandr had risen to the rank of Galaxy Commander, overseeing his Clan's Sigma [[Galaxy]], one of the Bear's numerous garrison Galaxies. With Clan Ghost Bear's decision following the [[Battle of Tukayyid (3052)|Battle of Tukayyid]] to move almost its entire population and touman to the [[Inner Sphere]], Sigma was redeployed from the [[Clan Homeworlds]]. While the first-line Galaxies already in the Inner Sphere grudgingly accepted integration from second-line [[BattleMech]] and [[Elemental]] forces, they were almost totally opposed to working side-by-side with conventional vehicle troops. With Aleksandr's reputation preceding him, numerous combat vehicle units in other galaxies requested transfer to the more welcoming Sigma, swelling its TOE with tanks, hovercraft, VTOLs and other support vehicles. Aleksandr would dispatch its forces to reinforce the Bear's other Galaxies as needed, though only the second-line ones would request the vehicle galaxy's aid; the front-line galaxies would never request or accept such assistance.<ref name=FMWC-99/>

===Combine-Ghost Bear War===
As of 3061 Aleksandr personally commanded the [[10th Phalanx (Rasalhague Dominion)|Tenth Phalanx]] [[Cluster]], stationed on Krenice beside the [[7th Bear Regulars (Clan Ghost Bear)|Seventh Bear Regulars]], assisting Sigma's then only BattleMech Cluster guard one of the more important worlds on the Ghost Bear Dominion-[[Draconis Combine]] border, despite the Seventh's disdain for the "mere" armored-vehicle unit's help. By 3067, Aleksandr had achieved what many had considered impossible, entering a Jorgensson [[Trial of Bloodright]] at the controls of his captured [[Athena (Combat Vehicle)|Athena]] Combat Vehicle (modified to be piloted solely by himself) to secure his Bloodname. By this point the Tenth Phalanx had rotated to [[Setubal]].<ref name=FMWC-99/> <ref name=FMU-78/>
