Alexandre Terrien

Like all spies across the world, Alexandre Terrien (probably not real name) is a mystery and purposefully so. He reveals little about himself and any snippets of information he lets out are to few people. He is an expert at espionage, is a compulsive liar, is a very accurate shooter, resilient to any and all torture, and is likely a war veteran from the scars on his body and mind that he brought with him to Mann Co.

Biography
Very little is known about Alexandre Terrien. It is highly likely that any and all information he gave was entirely fabricated.

What is known about Alexandre and is likely true is that he was born in Marseille, France. Nothing about his parents (if he had any at all) is known. According to Pyro Axel Bigarsky, he was bullied as a child because he was a loner and had few to no friends. As retaliation to getting bullied, Alexandre learned to fight and started carrying a weapon in the form of any sharp object.

According to his criminal record (in which a lot of his personal information was redacted - whether this is by him or by someone else is not known), he was charged with murder, political assassination, assault and battery, drug dealing, theft, forgery, and inciting public panic on multiple occasions. A lot of these are likely related to each other. He was bailed out of jail by an unknown source 4 times, dodged a court hearing twice, and changed his identity multiple times and his current identity cannot be traced back to his records. He has gotten away with a lot more crimes in the hundreds.

Alexandre has been working as a spy for more than 25 years. His expertise in assassination and evasion of authorities except for these few times got the attention of Miss Pauling, who offered to destroy all his criminal records permanently in exchange for his position as a Spy for Mann Co. With no other jobs on the line, he agreed.

Alexandre's Son
Alexandre has one son named Zack Thorn, a former BLU Scout of Mann Co that he frequently encountered on the battlefield. Alexandre and Zack were both deployed to help RED Pyro Axel Bigarsky and BLU Medic Horst Dieter-Ahlbach escape from one of Gray Mann's facility. Zack sustained supposedly life-threatenig wounds in a fight with Olivia Mann, and was presumed dead for a year and a half until he returned until he returned, having stolen Alexandre's Dead Ringer to keep himself alive. Alexandre found out when Zack's dog, Kelpie, found him and returned the Dead Ringer, alerting Alexandre that Zack was alive. Alexandre met Zack back at the latter's apartment, and revealed that he was Zack's father. It's a slightly awkward relationship and Zack has not returned to Mann Co, but they're mending their relationship after almost 20 years of not recognising each other as family.

Personality
Alexandre is very secretive and trust with him is a very one-sided matter. It is easy to trust him as he is very strict with keeping secrets, especially those of his team who oddly enough, confide in him often, but he trusts few with secrets of his own. Supposedly, this is because of his position of a Spy throughout his entire life and his criminal background.

The few he does call a friend are very close to him. He may not outwardly show his appreciation for them besides nods and thanking them for helping him, but he does show his appreciation through his actions. He is willing to risk himself for his team, especially when it comes to ensuring their safety and will not hesitate to get down and dirty if it means his friends and team stay alive. He can be curt and abrasive at times, dismissing some of the people he considers "less cultured" than he is, but he is there when he is needed and never backs down from a challenge.
