Alexander Bastion is the only son of Dr. Steven and Dr. Ellen Bastion, and is older then he looks. A child prodigy, and bioticly gifted human, Alexander Bastion was just one reason both of his parents were Doctors. While they specialized in weapons development, after he was born they also took an interest into human biotics, how they are caused, and what they can do. Part of this stemmed from exactly how Alex got biotics in the first place, Ellen never knew of or could ever find out the source of his biotics. Although not a drug user at all, she even looked into the possibility she was slipped doses of Red Sand as a possibility. To this day, it is unknown, but assumed that an Eezo core that they had used for weapon testing had possibly been faulty in some way and caused the exposure.

Alexander has some tech skill, enough he can hack a variety of systems with ease, but actual tech attacks were beyond him. He was strictly a data software and engineering person when it came to tech, other then the stealth program he figured out. He might have good tech skill, but he had no actual offensive tech abilities, being a civilian and all.

Its believed whatever gave him biotics may have also been the cause for the lack of development for his age.
