well alex is a 15 year old spy that's gone on almost a dozen (near suicide) missions for various agencies since he was 14, though he works predominantly with MI6.

he's also an unwilling 15 year old spy because MI6 is basically blackmailing him by threatening to put him into child services (and honestly sort of insinuating they wouldn't try all that hard to make sure he was placed somewhere nice) since his MI6 spy uncle was killed shortly after he was 14 and his MI6 spy parents were killed when he was a baby and he has no other family to speak of (outside of a godfather who was responsible for his parents dying to yeah maybe not a good option there).

he went through his teenage rebellion period by temporarily joining a terrorist organization but had a disagreement with them in the form of his unwillingness to purposefully kill people (he's accidentally killed plenty of people, but shhhhh, he's a kid, consequences for actions are kind of still an iffy thing for him).

at this point in his canon he's seriously DONE with MI6 and their nonsense but he doesn't exactly have a lot of control over his own life so there's a lot of hopeless anger and helplessness in the world he's stuck in BUT.

currently he has absolutely 0 memories of being a spy so he's basically just this apparently accident prone schoolboy who is friendly enough, far too curious for his own good, polite, does well in school, but really can't abide bullies (his first day at a new school and they thought because he spoke softly and came from upper middle class that he was an easy target and he legit beat all of them up and made them stop picking on other kids too).
