Personality:

Alexandre being a bit older has the mannerisms of an older gentleman. Though policing has made him harder and much more apathetic, he is a far piece from the young police officer in Paris he once was. He has a general distrust for those not in uniform and little for those that are. He has had a disdain for doctors since his mother died in 2362 from an illness. He has a sense of worth for all he owns because he did not have much as a child.

The death of his wife in 2373 led him down a road of alcoholism from which he is still recovering. He has two notable hobbies he likes to draw faces and tinker with weapons. James has an interesting skill set most of which is likened to his law enforcement profession.

History:

Alexandre was born in Paris to his mother Ginger and father Jacque. His father a Paris Municipal Police officer and his mother with no job they were always on a limited income from an early age Alexandre was taught to cherish what he had because the least he got was the most he ever had.

At the age of 17 his mother became ill with what the doctors called a rare and untreatable illness this caught Alexandre off guard and lead to his disdain for doctors. In late august of that year his mother had to be put in a medical center for pain management. In early September of that year she died with her family by her side on a cold and wet Paris day. She was buried three days later.

17 confused and graduating from high school his father was afraid he would result to substance abuse to, deal with the pain of the loss of his mother and prompted him to enlist in the Municipal Police Academy. After some thought he accepted and was on his way to become an officer. The academy was not difficult for him he had an excellent record most of his instructors thought he was on the track to become a inspector with the force. He graduated a year later as a police constable; this would be the start of a short career with the police.

After getting promoted to duty sergeant he met and married a fellow officer named beau he met at the policeman's ball from the detective division. They moved into her small home together, a few weeks after the wedding they found out she was going to have a baby girl they were shocked at excited at the news. She had to take a desk job, but kept working because they needed the money.

Eight months later they had a bouncing baby girl. Everything seemed fine the first few weeks but beau started to seem depressed and wanted to have nothing to do with the baby ,concerned for her heath he took her to a medical center where she was diagnosed with postpartum depression. Three days later she killed herself. That turned Alexander's life on its head, the plans he had ruined. He decided to give custody of the baby to his wife's sister unable to cope; he started drinking a little at first then it got worse over time. He hit rock bottom when he was taken to the hospital for alcohol poisoning, he nearly died. He was enrolled in a program that helped him overcome the habit but not the addiction.

He left the force that year. Not sure what to do with his life at that point he started looking towards federation jobs that’s when he found something a little know agency called the Marshall Service. After doing some research he applied and was accepted. This would start a new career for him. He was assigned to the witness protection program for about four years keeping witness safe. Until he was promoted to Senior Marshall and put in charge of a prisoner transport shuttle this is where he revived a wound to the arm during a fight with a klingon prisoner.

Working with felons, never having a normal place to call home and giving up his daughter had a numbing effect on his emotions. After many years in law enforcement Alexandre decided it was time to hang up the badge so with orders to report back to base for a new assignment. He booked passage on a civilian ship the Starfarer hopefully he could end his last week before he was going to resign quietly and finally see his daughter.
