Alex

Crossbowman at the castle shield line, praised by Donut for a clean kill on a cloaked mercenary.

Story so far

Alex is one of the crossbowmen working the entrance shield line during the defense of The Castle. As Donut calls targets spotted through the heat setting of Donut's Sunglasses, she directs him to an invisible Madness Monkeywrenchers operative standing before the X over the mantis-face mural on the New Barracks.

He hits, and Donut celebrates the shot mid-sentence — 'There... in front of the X over the mantis face! Good shot, Alex!' — without breaking from her simultaneous interrogation of Tipid about Gondii worms.

Appearance

A defender working a crossbow from behind a fan-shaped shield screen, firing at targets he cannot see unaided.

Role

Crossbowman picking off cloaked mercenaries on Donut's spotting calls.
