History and origins
Unlike Red Lizard, this universe's Alex was born with his reptile-like appearance. Hiding from humanity for most of his life, until he one day decided he didn't want to hide anymore.

He only works together with others when he has something to gain from it, and even then he is likely to turn against them. Gila is almost as smart as Red Lizard, even tho he had a birth defect. Gila is also an excellent digger.
