History
Early Years
Following the conquest of New Syrtis by the Capellan Confederation in 3145 and his mother Amanda's execution, Alexander was, on paper, the commander of the Capellan March. In reality, however, it was unclear if the young Duke was even alive. If he was, he was on the run or in hiding and unable to assert his authority.[4]
By January 3151 Alexander was still missing, with commentators speculating that either he had been killed during the fall of New Syrtis or was still in hiding even after six years.[5]
Duke
In March 3151, Alexander returned to New Syrtis, claiming the title of Duke of New Syrtis. However, he wasn't very popular: his absence in Operation CERBERUS, the reconquest of New Syrtis, was noted. He pretended to have been leading the Sixth Syrtis Fusiliers all six years... but when pictures of him in a beach, with a beautiful woman, proved than he was lying. He was seen as little more than a playboy, and his first actions, to rebuild the family mansion on New Syrtis, didn't helped him to make better his image: despite the fact than he payed the rebuilding with his family money wasn't so important as the fact than that slowed the construction of a nearby hospital much needed.[6]
His condemning of Julian Davion's high cost to retake New Syrtis didn't sit well, and his words against the truce with the Capellan Confederation scared all Julian's loyalists on the capellan March, which feared he reactivated the war against the Confederation, in a moment in which the Suns cannot afford to fight in another front, field Marshal Paxton Fenlon informed Julian Davion of everything. Soon after, Alexander created a new regiment, which he called the Syrtis Scourge, a regiment created taking members of the Sixth Fusiliers. The new unit was loyal only to Hasek, a pure offensive one.[7]
Pleiades War
Return to New Syrtis
If Alexander wasn't very popular before the Pleiades War, after returning to New Syrtis, he was regarded at best with contempt. At worst, his collaborationism with the Taurians made high officers to hate him. Even the Seventh Syrtis Fusiliers leader suggested than Hasek should have showed patriotism dying in battle.[8]
Ironically, the experience had changed Alexander for the best, making him grow. Separated from his assorted hangers-on, he learned a lot about himself and focused on the unglamorous work of ruling the March, though he was in a very weak position and had to redeem himself into his subjects and his own eyes.[9]
