Alexander (Step by Step)



Alexander is a supporting character in Step by Step. He appears as a timid technician. Alexander was horrified when explosives were dropped around the school. Despite his fear, he continued trying to communicate with a Sergeant Coffman on the other end of his radio terminal. He tells his sergeant that they have lost contact, thus the infantry are forced to retreat back.

Background
Alexander hinted that his parents owned a farm, thus making them farmers. He was most likely born in rural Indiana.

Part One
The technician was stationed at Summercreek Highschool to keep up contact with other military stations. When large riots break out near the Summercreek Highschool, he witnesses the deaths of hundreds at the hands of mishandled explosives. He attempts to regain communications with his fellow radio engineer at another station, Sergeant Coffman, but unfortunately the transmissions that cut through lead Alexander to believe Coffman's station is taken over. Alexander is later seen when encountered by Brock Menster, at it again with his radio terminal. The two socialize before the sergeant goes into a frenzy with the crazies and slaughters an infected teenager. He is then told to get to work on the communication. After several minutes, it begins to rain down on Alexander when the remaining troops retreat into the school. He is left to his post refusing to cease his attempts on the radio. Ultimately, he is forced to grab his radio and follow the soldiers once he was assaulted by half a dozen crazies.
