Name: Alexios Stathos Gender: Male Nationality: Greek Age: 50 Physical Appearance: Alexios stands at an average height of 1.77m tall, is well built for a man of his age. Then again one can argue that the hard labour he's done has helped his health, if it only had helped his hair from turning grey and slowly fall off his head. He has the typical olive skin of the Greeks, a well-trimmed moustache and a set of two brown eyes that are as sharp as ever. He also wears an old, red, Ottoman fez which he has sewed medals and marks on, including the Greek flag and the Orthodox Cross. Rank: Sergeant. Weapon and Ammunition: Mannlicher-Schönauer rifle, 8x 6.5×54mm. Walther P38 pistol, 5x 9×19mm Parabellum. Brief Background: Alexios was born in a typical fishing-village on Corfu, his mother a tailor and his father an orthodox priest. His family, consisting of his parents, two sisters and three brothers including himself, was raised as devoted Christians, and always told to cherish the freedom they had in an independent Greece. Nothing of interest happening during Alexios's childhood, and it seemed that he would follow his father's footsteps in becoming a priest. He had studied, and failed his exams twice, when the news broke out that Greece was at war; With the Young Turkish Revolution just happening, the Balkan kingdoms of Montenegro, Bulgaria, Serbia and Greece sent an ultimatum to Constantinople to retreat her forces from the Balkans. When it was declined, the respective countries declared war, and The First Balkan War had begun. Alexios eagerly joined the Greek army under command of Prince Constantine I., and participated in the successful campaign against the Turkish army as they fought their way into Macedonia. Alexios first distinguished himself as an excellent marksman, earning him a medal and a promotion, even going as far as being issued a new rifle. As the war, first against the Turks and then against the Bulgarians, came to an end, he did his best to return to his clergy education, but failing the exam once again before giving up on it. Instead he began working within transport, driving trucks with cargo all across Greece, especially in the newly liberated northern lands. When Greece joined the Allies in the Great War, Alexios once again joined the army and fought against the Central Power forces, primarily Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire. He continued to fight in the army during the Greco-Turkish war, and returned home after the Greek forces were defeated by their long-time enemy. And with no wars to participate in, Alexios resumed his work as a cargo driver much of his life, until the Italians and Germans came. Leaving his family behind, his wife and lone daughter, he made his way to Athens, and was transferred to the 1st Greek Regiment alongside other Greek men of all ages. At Crete, they would either stop the German invaders, or die trying.
