A former weapons researcher from [[Frohad Galactic Firearms]], '''Alexander Tur'enne''' defected to the [[Rebel Alliance]] after the Imperials fortified his research facility on [[Corellia]] into what was effectively a prison for him and his fellow scientists. He escaped with the help of his sister - [[Charlotte Tur'enne]] - and the special operations team [[Dorn Force]].
+
'''Alexander Tur'enne''' is the adopted brother of [[Charlotte Tur'enne]], who was a Specialist with the Rebel Alliance until he left in protest of her unfair trial and dishonourable discharge. An engineer and scientist, Xander worked for several years as a weapons developer for [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Frohad_Galactic_Firearms Frohad Galactic Firearms] before defecting to the Alliance.
  
His initial service with the Alliance was as quartermaster and tech support for Dorn Force, but he has since begun to take a more active role in field operations.

Xander is currently working with [[John Glayde]] to search for his sister, who currently does not want to be found.

Alexander entered foster care on Corellia when he was three months old, and despite his efforts all records regarding his biological parents are either sealed or destroyed. He was adopted by [[Jacob Tur'enne]] - a District Attorney from Corellia - and his wife [[Alluria Tur'enne|Alluria]]. The couple chose to adopt after struggling to conceive even with medical intervention; though five years later they did eventually manage to have a natural daughter in [[Charlotte Tur'enne|Charlotte]].
  
{{Quote|These pants with this jacket? Do you have no comprehension of fashion at all?|Alexander Tur'enne, to [[John Glayde]]}}
+
Xander adored his baby sister, but the Tur'enne's had made no secret of the fact that Alexander was adopted, and particularly during his teen years he worried that he would seem less important than the Tur'enne's "real" child. Combined with Charlotte's increasingly tomboy nature, the two developed a lovingly antagonistic relationship that still persists into adulthood.
  
Xander knows very little about his biological parents, having been adopted by [[Jacob Tur'enne|Jacob]] and [[Alluria Tur'enne]] at a very young age. Though they never kept his adopted status a secret, the couple - who had been struggling to concieve - raised him as one of their own, and continued to do so even after their biological daughter, [[Charlotte Tur'enne|Charlotte]], was born.
+
At college, Xander met and ultimately proposed to [[Laura Dechen]], the women who eventually broke his heart. After several happy years together she left without explanation; Xander plunged himself into his work, cutting himself off from friends and family. His dedication eventually earned him a job working for a special projects team working on covert projects for the Imperials. It was in this role, after discovering that his sister had joined the Rebel Alliance, that he decided to defect.
  
Alexander and Charlotte were opposite sides of the coin: Xander was the smart-minded (and smart-mouthed) academic, while Charlie was the impulsive hot-head. The two were forever falling out and fighting, but in truth they were incredibly close; when Alexander left to attend university it was difficult for both of them, and when Charles ran off to join the Corellian Resistance, they went for years without seeing each other.
+
Xander joined his sister in [[Dorn Force]], a Rebel special operations unit. His experience with advanced weapons made him an ideal quartermaster, and he applied his insider knowledge and specialist skills to modifying and customising equipment for the team's use, as well as inventing a few of his own.
  
Aside from his academic studies, there was one other important focus in Alex's life: [[Laura Dechen]], his high school sweetheart. Xander was hopelessly in love, and though the few years between them made it tough when he moved away to university, the two had plans to live together and begin the rest of their lives together as soon as she did the same. Unfortunately, Laura met and ran off with another man, leaving Xander utterly devastated. His studies suffered to such a degree that he flunked out of university, and ultimately he found himself homeless, directionless, and hopeless.
+
Some time later, Charlotte begun deployments on covert missions with Alliance Intelligence, away from the rest of the team. During one of those endeavours she was hijacked by a powerful Darksider and forced to attack a convoy of Jedi refugees. Searching for a scapegoat for their security blunders, the Alliance decided to pin the blame on Charlotte personally, holding a rushed series of closed court proceedings that were over before her team mates and commanding officers even had the opportunity to testify. Charlotte was dishonourably discharged from the Alliance and rapidly went off the rails; both Xander and the Dorn Force commander, [[John Glayde]], resigned from the Alliance in protest and set out in search of the errant Tur'enne.
  
Fortunately, his father was able to pull some strings and get him an entry-level job working for [[Frohad Galactic Firearms]]. Smarter than the average high school age students that the company was recruiting for similar posts, Alex managed to rapidly progress through the internal ranks of the business, and eventually found himself involved in a top secret military research project, working for the Galactic Empire. Once the novelty wore off however, Xander began to have his doubts over the morality of their research, and had concerns about the oppressive security measures the Empire had put in place. Managing to contact the Rebel Alliance, he was able to arrange for his rescue and defection: a mission that would ultimately be carried out by his sister.
+
== Family ==
 +
'''[[Charlotte Tur'enne]]''' is the only family that Xander really cares about: his baby sister. When they were younger, Xander did his best to protect her; Charlotte quickly became capable not only of taking care of herself but also of beating her brother up too, and so their relationship quickly became a challenge to see who could wind each other up the most. The two were separated when Xander went off to college, and when the two met up again their experiences and traumas had made them very different people. Xander does his best to be the kind of brother that Charlotte needs, but he's not really all that good at it.
  
Becoming caught up with [[Dorn Force]] - the special ops unit on which his sister served - he leant his skills as a technician and researcher, helping to refine and customise the weapons being used by the team. Over time his contributions expanded, initially providing comms and sensor support from the safety of a shuttle, and then eventually in direct contributions in the field. When Dorn Force was reassigned to SpecForce Command on [[Bothawui]], Xander was officially recognised as a member of the operations team.

Alexander is incredibly smart, and he knows it. While he does - most of the time - make an effort to tone down his self-confidence (borderline arrogance, really), he does find that at times he can rub people up the wrong way; especially his sister, though most of the time that is intentional. For the most part he is lighthearted and optimistic, but he doesn't allow that to loosen his grip on logic and common sense: at times he can be a grim realist, and is not afraid to point out when the idealistic approach just doesn't work anymore.

His biggest problem comes in the form of Laura Dechen. Despite the years that have passed, the wounds of their relationship are still as fresh as ever, and he struggles to cope with that. He has been unable to allow himself to become emotionally attatched to another woman since, and while he does find a degree of comfort in the company of men, it is always far more physical for him. It doesn't stop him from making friends, but he does have a number of trust issues - particularly with women - if they try and get too close.

'''Jacob Tur'enne'''<br>

Xander's father, [[Jacob Tur'enne]] is an incredibly kind, supportive, and accomodating man who has done everything possible to ensure the best possible life for his son. While he has never put Xander under any pressure to achieve or perform however, Xander has always been intensely worried about disappointing Jacob, and often feels that by allowing his life to deteriorate the way it has, he is letting his father down.
+
 
+
'''Charlotte Tur'enne'''<br>
+
As with every pair of siblings, Xander's relationship with [[Charlotte Tur'enne]] is a delicate balance of love, affection, frustration, and taunting. Given Charlie's impulsive nature, there are times when Xander's eagerness to push her buttons has escallated into him recieving some sort of physical injury; despite everything though, he cares about her more than anyone else in the universe. His only regret is that he allowed himself to become so caught up in his studies and with Laura that he was never the caring big brother that Charlotte needed him to be: now, he is trying to make up for that as best he can.
+
 
+
'''Laura Dechen'''<br>
+
The great love of his life, [[Laura Dechen]] is the woman that broke Xander's heart. The two have not seen nor spoken to each other since, and she is a constant source of pain and anguish to him; even so, Xander still loves her intensely. That manifests in an almost obsessive interest in her life and wellbeing, though he manages to ignore the urge to check up on her most of the time. Recently, he has discovered that she and her father are now involved with the Rebel Alliance, but has made no attempts to get in contact with her as yet.
+
 
+
'''Maxx Elgrin'''<br>
+
A Rebel officer who often works with [[Dorn Force]], [[Maxx Elgrin]] is Xander's latest distraction from his Laura anguish. Unlike most encounters however, this has lasted far longer than the one-night stands he aims for; worse, Maxx's confidence and overbearing personality has placed him in control of the relationship, which at times leaves Xander feeling a little uncomfortable and overwhelmed.

Alexander Tur'enne is the adopted brother of Charlotte Tur'enne, who was a Specialist with the Rebel Alliance until he left in protest of her unfair trial and dishonourable discharge. An engineer and scientist, Xander worked for several years as a weapons developer for Frohad Galactic Firearms before defecting to the Alliance.

Xander is currently working with John Glayde to search for his sister, who currently does not want to be found.

History

Alexander entered foster care on Corellia when he was three months old, and despite his efforts all records regarding his biological parents are either sealed or destroyed. He was adopted by Jacob Tur'enne - a District Attorney from Corellia - and his wife Alluria. The couple chose to adopt after struggling to conceive even with medical intervention; though five years later they did eventually manage to have a natural daughter in Charlotte.

Xander adored his baby sister, but the Tur'enne's had made no secret of the fact that Alexander was adopted, and particularly during his teen years he worried that he would seem less important than the Tur'enne's "real" child. Combined with Charlotte's increasingly tomboy nature, the two developed a lovingly antagonistic relationship that still persists into adulthood.

At college, Xander met and ultimately proposed to Laura Dechen, the women who eventually broke his heart. After several happy years together she left without explanation; Xander plunged himself into his work, cutting himself off from friends and family. His dedication eventually earned him a job working for a special projects team working on covert projects for the Imperials. It was in this role, after discovering that his sister had joined the Rebel Alliance, that he decided to defect.

Xander joined his sister in Dorn Force, a Rebel special operations unit. His experience with advanced weapons made him an ideal quartermaster, and he applied his insider knowledge and specialist skills to modifying and customising equipment for the team's use, as well as inventing a few of his own.

Some time later, Charlotte begun deployments on covert missions with Alliance Intelligence, away from the rest of the team. During one of those endeavours she was hijacked by a powerful Darksider and forced to attack a convoy of Jedi refugees. Searching for a scapegoat for their security blunders, the Alliance decided to pin the blame on Charlotte personally, holding a rushed series of closed court proceedings that were over before her team mates and commanding officers even had the opportunity to testify. Charlotte was dishonourably discharged from the Alliance and rapidly went off the rails; both Xander and the Dorn Force commander, John Glayde, resigned from the Alliance in protest and set out in search of the errant Tur'enne.
