Alexander Fox Xanatos
Alexander Fox Xanatos - The infant son of David Xanatos and Fox.
History
Alexander was born at the Eyrie Building in 1996, the same night that Goliath and his companions returned to New York from the Avalon World Tour. Because Titania is his maternal grandmother, Alex is a halfling (or, more accurately, a "quarterling"), with magic in his blood. Titania therefore attempted, with Oberon’s help, to abduct him upon his birth and take him away to Avalon, where he could be taught to use his powers. Xanatos, Goliath and his clan, Renard, and Puck all attempted to stop Oberon from kidnapping the child and were defeated; however, Fox, in utter desperation, unleashed a bolt of magical energy upon Oberon, which Goliath used as proof that Alex could be taught magic in the outside world. So Oberon and Titania agreed to let Alex stay with his parents, and assigned Puck the task of being Alex’s tutor, although barring him from using his powers except to teach him and protect him.
Puck gave Alex his first lesson in magic not long afterwards, when he taught him how to transfer souls from one body to another, housing the souls of the Coldtrio first in the bodies of Broadway, Angela, and Brooklyn, and then in their robotic bodies that Xanatos had built for them. To assist him in his spell-casting, he temporarily housed himself in Lexington’s body, using his mouth and voice box to utter the right incantations. This began the strong rapport between Lexington and Alex that has continued since, and which has helped Lexington make his peace with Fox.
At some point in the near future, Alex will be temporarily kidnapped by Raven, for reasons as yet unknown, but rescued (with Lexington as one of the rescuers). In 2198, Alexander (under the name of Alexander Xanatos IV, the "IV" perhaps having been adopted as a disguise to conceal the fact that he’s over two hundred years old), is the Secretary-General of the United Nations, with Owen as his Chief of Staff. However, Alex is abducted by the Space-Spawn along with the rest of the human world leaders at Queen Florence Island on March 21st, and kept in stasis by them. One result of this is that Owen is unable to turn back into Puck, since at this point, he can neither protect nor teach Alexander.
Alex was named by his parents after Alexander the Great, the famous Macedonian king (336 B.C. - 323 B.C.) who conquered most of the known world, as a reflection of their ambitions for him.
Future Tense
In the episode, Future Tense, Alexander, at that point called Fox, was a part of a resistance against his father, David Xanatos. Xanatos the senior tricked him into revealing the hideout of the rebels before destroying him. His fellow rebels were inspired to attack Xanatos before he could strike against them.
