Talk:Alex

Alex's origin
This is almost purely speculation, but I'm starting to think that Alex is a Lemurian. I don't have much proof, but do you remember Saturos' ship at Idejima? It looks like a Lemurian ship to me. For the longest time I couldn't figure out how they got a Lemurian ship, but then this idea popped into my head, which doesn't just explain the ship. It also helps explain how Alex knows so much about Alchemy and why he was so willing to "abandon" the task of keeping Mercury Lighthouse from being lit. Also, when you talk to/Mind Read one Lemurian (I forgot who or how), they comment on how (most) Lemurians are "cool, calm, and collected" which sounds a lot like Alex. There's also the fact that all Lemurians (and Mia) seem to have blue hair, but Megan and Justin don't (they're Mercury Adepts too, right?). The only thing I can't figure out is, if he is from Lemuria, then how did he get into the clan that protects the Lighthouse? It's not like it's impossible, considering how deceptive and manipulative he can be, but I'm still stumped. Anyways, I just thought I'd through my theory out on the table.

Not evil?
Hrmm... This just occured to me, though it probably occured to others long ago: Right when it's apparent to the Wise One that the Mars Lighthouse is going to be lit, he starts warning everyone away from Mt.Aleph and the Lighthouses, so everyone has long evacuated Vale right when the Golden Sun forms and bathes Mt.Aleph's peak. Meaning that when Alex tries to summon a storm on Vale right afterwards, it's just a bunch of empty houses. Now, we don't know if Alex was aware of the status of the town at this time, but if he could see that the town was empty and nobody was going to be physically harmed by his storm, that would be strong indication that he's not the embodiment of evil that everyone believes. He was just excited with his power, that's all. Heh. Erik Jensen (Appreciate me here!) 17:44, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
