Aleksei Genesis:

On the surface, you’d think Aleksei is just the muscles. In a strange way, this is an extreme case of underestimating your opponent. He grew up in solitude, on the largest and harshest mountains in the metaverse, The Ether Range. Don’t feel too badly for him, as this was the ideal location for him to train as a youth. Another ape whom’s backstory is unclear, it is said he was crafted by the mountains themselves.

When Zaire found Aleksei the only possession he had was a book. One about the brutal history of Apekind. The combination of knowing little about his own history, and the grueling living conditions he was accustomed to, Aleksei was destined to be on a warpath to restart ape history. The Order of Simiens, still scouting the metaverse, decided to see if at the very least, the Ether Range had resources that could benefit their cause. Aleksei does not get a ton of visitors, so naturally, he assumes them all to be the apes of his history book. He decided to attack Zaire with the power of the earth beneath him. What ensued was an epic battle of total destruction… The fight lasted through the night until Zaire finally struck down Aleksei deep in the heart of the Ether Range. Zaire, impressed with his immense strength and power, gave Aleksei a choice: Remain where he lay, buried in the rubble that was once the Ether Range, or join him on a path to right the history of apekind. Zaire proposed to Aleksei that together, there isn’t a force that could stop their mission. For the first time in his life, Aleksei left the Ether Range, and finally felt he had a path to his vision. A vision that aligns all too well with that of the OS, wipe ape history from the metaverse, and start anew.
