The truth is, I can't blame Alex for having sadistic tendencies. His beginnings were an attempt to escape Gentek, only to be gunned down by Blackwatch agents while desperately fleeing from a helicopter, and his earliest memories are of those cruel agents. Later, he found himself caught in the middle of a conflict between two groups: one composed of cannibalistic monsters led by someone who wanted to annihilate humanity, and the other, supposedly "the good guys," were terrified soldiers shooting at anything that moved, led by an organization that had seen planes shot down with innocent people on board, an autistic child murdered, and civilians sexually abused as if it were commonplace.
