Alexander Maxwell Rosek served as Acting Chief Engineer aboard the USS Harbinger and the USS Theurgy before he was injured and put in stasis. He replaced Nicole Howard as chief engineer after she was injured during the USS Calamity’s first attack in 2381. He aided in the opposition against the parasites that compromised Starfleet Command in the end of the 24^th century. Rosek was put in stasis after sustaining fatal injury, and may be treated once the USS Theurgy can get the medical assistance required. He was replaced as chief engineer by his shipmate Tatiana Marlowe.

Biography

Having been born into a traditional Starfleet family with a long line of successful officers behind him, Maxwell had no choice on whether he'd enlist in Starfleet and was groomed by his parents to follow in their footsteps.

At the age of fifteen, he successfully passed the entrance exam for Starfleet Academy where he studied an Engineering Major with warp mechanics and Astrotheory. Concerned more with having a good time with the friends he made in San Fransisco, Alexander was far from the top of his class and had to repeat his cadet cruise.

It was a great disappointment to his parents that he graduated from the Academy with no rank and the only posting being that of a technician onboard a deep space outpost near the neutral zone. Unable to stand the pressures of constantly living up to his parents' expectations, Alexander accepted the posting and shipped out on a transport the day after graduation.

Serving as an Engineering technician, Alexander had more than one run-in with his superiors, though the application of his practical skills and theories saved him from being shipped back to Earth. After a year onboard, the station was rocked by an alien attack which left many dead or severely wounded and thrusted Alexander into a role for which he wasn't prepared.

Functioning as one of only a handful of Engineering staff, Alexander had to use his ingenuity and skills as a technician to repair the costly damage and stabilise the station to prevent a core breach. It was his surprising ability to act under dangerous conditions that he was promoted to Assistant Chief Engineer with the accompanying rank of Ensign.

With the station running on a skeleton crew and barely surviving harsh conditions for months after the attack, Alexander requested a transfer which was delayed for a further nine months. When relief crew finally transferred and the station's systems were given a major overhaul, Alexander finally found himself posted onboard the USS Harbinger - an Akira class vessel assigned to various missions through out Federation space.

The biggest challenge of his career and almost certainly his life came when the Harbinger’s crew unveiled a conspiracy involving the takeover of key Starfleet personnel and installations which led to the vessel itself being marked as a rogue element and hunted across the Quadrant. For weeks, perhaps months, the Harbinger has been the target of various attacks leaving the ship and it's crew in a seriously weakened state. In the first confrontation alone, three quarters of the ship's Engineering crew were wiped out, forcing Alexander into the top spot.

Having a naturally egotistical personality, Alexander felt that being temporarily promoted to acting Chief Engineer and rank of Lieutenant Junior Grade was an insult to his skills, although he was acutely aware of the unusual opportunity he had been given and kept his disappointment to himself.

With the sudden pressure of added responsibility and the expectation for him to lead the Engineering department, Alexander has found life onboard the ship almost unbearable. Despite his past experience with difficult circumstances, Alexander feels that although he is more than skilled enough, he lacks sufficient experience to effectively function as head of department and his subsequent objections have fallen on deaf ears. In war, everything changes and so must he, or so he's been told.

Tasked with keeping the ship running and her defensive capabilities primed and ready for the next attack, Alexander has found his patience stretched to the limit and even the fast tracked promotion to Lieutenant has given him little hope for his future. Initially, he rebelled against the idea of becoming an officer like his parents expected, however, one thing that serving aboard the Harbinger has given him is a sense of duty. He doesn't fully understand the Captain's decision to flee from the troubles Starfleet are facing but he also recognises a need for self preservation and it's his hope that they will survive long enough to reveal those behind the plot to take over Starfleet and put a stop to their wicked plans.

During his time in Starfleet, Alexander's personal life has been somewhat limited primarily due to his main focus being called to his role as Engineer, but also due to his inability to socialise and build meaningful relationships. Although his professional reputation has been surprisingly favourable if not strained in the eyes of his superiors, his fellow crewmembers are aware of his less than desirable personality traits.

Personality Profile

Professionally speaking, Alexander is a competent and skilled officer, contributing to many improvements over ship's systems and performing well on missions of various objectives. Owing to the fact that he was very resistant to life as a Starfleet officer, he's fit in well with the Harbinger 's crew and enjoys the responsibilities of his position. He's loyal and hardworking at his core, however personally, he's not seen as a desirable individual that other folk wish to get close to.

Personally, Alexander is selfish and egotistical and has no concerns over who he sleeps with or pisses off. He has one or two friends who have managed to see past his jack-assish behaviour and often find themselves exasperated by his inability to act like a decent human being. They realise that he is a complex individual and knowing that he is loyal and could be a likeable person, they often find themselves having to defend him against the other crewmembers.

Physical Profile

Alexander is a physically attractive and desirable specimen and has had no problems with sexual intimacy with many of the Alpha Quadrant species, even those who would not normally cavort with humans. Standing at 6'1" and with a good solid frame shaped by years of physical sports and activities, Alexander is aware of his physical prowess and often attributes this to his flirtatious behaviour. Many people seem to be drawn in by his vibrant energy often mirrored in his dark gaze, and a lot of the brasher species of the Quadrant find his arrogance and ego quite attractive also.

Despite this, Alexander was born with a genetic defect when his mother was affected by the virus causing choriocytosis during pregnancy. In order to maintain healthy oxygen levels throughout the tissues in his body, Alexander requires bi-monthly injections of nanites which help maintain blood cell oxygenation and enhance their delivery of oxygen throughout his body.
