Award(s): Nominated for Golden Globe. Another 6 wins & 18 nominations | | Character back story: A group of genetically-enhanced children escape from a lab project. Years later we meet Max, one of the escapees who now works for a messenger service in the post-apocalyptic Pacific Northwest. In the second season of the show, the tone changes as Max brings down Manticore and frees the soldiers. She is helped in her escape by Alec with who Max teams up with later on. Alec is X-5, genetically identical to her dead unit-mate Ben, and a magnet for trouble. They spend a lot of time covering up, taking out, or protecting the more unusual of the Manticore Alumni. Eventually, they join the other transgenics in the toxic section of Seattle, called Terminal City, and make a stand for their rights against the hostile humans. | | Inspiration for character: | | Age/Occupation: | | Personality type: Troublemaker, charmer. | | Signature look: His leather jacket. | | Resides: Seattle | | Character connections: | Fun facts/trivia:

When the character of Alec was conceived for the series' season 2, the writers knew they wanted him to be a somewhat amoral X5 with a sharp wit. They chose to immediately hire Jensen Ackles for the role, who had previously played a rogue serial killing X5 in a season 1 episode. They explained the actor's return in a different role by saying that Alec was his former, and deceased, character's twin. Although they had only seen Ackles as a dramatic actor in his previous roles, everyone in the production was pleased to see that Ackles had a natural talent as a comedian.

Sketchy's name, Calvin Simon Theodore, is a nod to the Chipmunks - Alvin, Simon, and Theodore.

Several scenes of the children training at Manticore were edited for the opening scenes of Hitman (2007/I), which has a similar theme of genetically enhanced children being trained as assassins and a protagonist (Agent 47) with a barcode on the back of his neck. | | | Character Quotes & Catchphrases | | |
