Alex provides unending frustration and sleepless nights for everyone he knows.

In the early part of the 20th century, Alex traveled the world in search of martial arts he could master. It is said that he settled somewhere in the Himalayas, in a secluded monastery run by a twice-exiled sensei, who, over the next 50 years, taught Alex what can best be translated as "Focus Misdirection" - an ancient and deadly, but forgotten martial art that once (accidentally) nearly exterminated the Zhou dynasty. Alex, now in his early 20s, is highly skilled in the art of distraction.

Nobody really knows exactly how Alex obtained his superhuman "Focus Misdirection" energy. Historians, however, speculate that at the end of the 2nd century, as the First Qin Emperor of China ordered his people to build him the famous Terracotta Army, (which is known today to contain the figurines of over 8000 human-sized soldiers, 520 horses, 150 cavalry horses, 130 chariots... and 1 bobble-head dog figurine for the Emperor's chariot dashboard); he also ordered them to create a figurine of a pink yeti (the rarest), to protect him from the dangers of the underworld after his passing, including that from his enemies, assassins and annoying song birds that keep waking you up in the morning. It has been said that the figurine had then been taken to the most powerful of shamans of the day, and after decades of travels, wielded enormous power. However, something happened to the figurine between the its return and the burial of the First Qin Emperor, because it was never buried with his army.

Historians speculate that as a part of his training, Alex was to battle a yellow yeti (the rarest) in a top secret cave, high in the mountain tops of the Ladakh region of the Himalayas, 12km NNE of Markha (peak of Stok Kangri). Local legend says that for 5 days the villagers could hear the roaring and chanting emanating from the cave. On the 4th day Alex emerged victorious, having slain the yeti by distracting it to death. He then proceeded to go back into the cave because he dropped his pen inside, continued with the chanting, roaring and distracting, to finally emerge once again on the 5th day having nearly distracted himself to death.

The SS Ahnenerbe branch, a secretive part of the already secretive SS ranks, the purpose of which, amongst other things, was to research mythology, folklore, track down artifacts and investigate the paranormal; in 1937 the Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler, the founder of the SS Ahnenerbe, organized an expedition to Himalayas, lead by the German zoologist Ernst Schäfer. Officially the expedition goals were record local legends, folklore, traditions, music, and hunt down the brown yetti (the rarest). The expedition wielded many results, 1600 species of barley, hundreds of species of mamals and insects, and zoologists finally uncovered the secret of the centaur; "what you need" Ernst writes, "is a man, and a very curious horse..." Upon trying to achieve their goal to discover and document the nearly lost martial art that was said to have been originated in that area, art of "Focus Misdirection", the expedition got lost and ended up in a forbidden part of Tibet, being tormented day and night by the Tibetan nucivorous langur monkeyss. Two years later, the Japanese will send their most elite spies to attempt to find the ancient art form as well, centaurification and langur monkeys happened only to the luckiest...

Alex, however, never gave out his secret, and as the story goes, once misdirected a Japanese spy so well that he (the spy) didn't leave Tibet for over 10 years, trying to remember what it was he was supposed to remember to find and do.
