(EDIT 13/02/2020: The image of Alex's wounds when he was attacked by the Rake had to be removed due to Wattpad deeming it unsafe. I'm sorry but, I would rather remove it than risk having this entire book deleted. I apologize for the inconvenience)

Alex is Jeff's younger brother. He plays the bass guitar and likes indie music. His YouTube channel, WickedStickyAlex, provides an outside perspective on what is going on with the EverymanHYBRID crew, as well as chronicles his angst as he deals with the social consequences of having a "psycho" brother. Alex first appeared in A Day in the Life, and his channel was eventually found through the "Related Videos" bar. He seems to be one of the Rake's targets; it appeared in his closet and backyard shed. Most of his videos deal with the presence of the Rake and its effect on him and his dog, Sparky. Despite being forbidden to by his brother, Alex joined the Seven Trials of Habit but dropped out in Trial Two along with the crew.

In the 11/26 Ustream, it was revealed that his and Jeff's parents were killed and Alex sometimes talk as they are still alive, as a self-defence mechanism, and a way of self-comforting. The depth of Alex's psychosis over the deaths of his parents reached a new low in One step forward, two steps back when it was revealed that Alex has a recording of his mother's voice saying "I don't know Al, not tonight. It's getting late. Goodnight." Alex appears to ask his "mother" for permission to do things, via talking to the voice on the tape. Jeff explained in "Glenn's Letter" that Alex had been collecting clips of family exchanges to use them in music tracks, and that these sound clips have become his link to his parents.

On October 2nd, 2010, the background of Alex's YouTube channel changed subtly, before changing back again within a few hours. The Google cache reveals that during this time the smiling man's eyes were completely blacked out. On October 10th, 2010 the description of Alex's youtube channel changed to this several times during the day. "The Chicago Fire Department has ruled the cause of the fire undetermined. The amount and type of flammables within the structure make it difficult to

determine what did or did not contribute to the start and spread of the fire. If new information becomes available, the department will review its findings it's back up."

(Note that Alex thinks he was hacked.)

Wiki contributor RyanS identified the quote on Alex's youtube description as a quote from the former mayor of Birmingham, Larry Langford (Larry Langford is also the person in Alex's channel's background pic). While there is an obvious connection to Damsel, who used to live in Alabama, posters at the Unfiction Forums found another Larry Langford, a spokesman for the Chicago Fire Department. The quote seems to be attributable to him.
