Description
Alexandrov Grigorovich, alias Alan or Alec, commands attention as a middle-aged military leader marked by a prominent facial scar, black slicked-back hair streaked with white, and red-lensed glasses adorned with flame motifs—emblems of his title as the "Blast Baron," a legendary figure among the 7 Red Barons renowned for mastery of explosive warfare.
Three centuries before the central narrative, he served as a Russian soldier and father of two. Summoned back to his base, he returned to discover his children slain and supplies stolen by a desperate man with an infant. Though he confronted the killer, Grigorovich refrained from vengeance, attributing the tragedy to systemic scarcity. This pivotal moment forged his pragmatic worldview, driving him to abandon Russia and later join Japan’s 13th Special Military Forces School as an instructor.
At the school, he implemented ruthless training methodologies, including simulated executions using paint bullets to desensitize recruits to battlefield horrors. He enforced collective punishment for individual failures, believing unity essential for survival. Collaborating with colleague Schmelman Bach, he co-developed the Aerial Ace Initiative, a program enhancing soldiers through genetic engineering.
His role as Jail Murdoch’s foster father revealed layered humanity beneath his stern demeanor. After uncovering Jail’s time-travel origins, he spared the group from execution, mentoring them on historical consequences. During the Abandonment War, his intervention against a rocket launcher attack saved students but scarred him permanently—a visceral reminder of his failure to protect his children, fueling his resolve to shield others.
Post-war, he instrumentalized the "Count" system to regulate Althea’s resource distribution. Cursed with immortality by unresolved regret, he endured as a military strategist across eras. Moments of vulnerability—tearful admonitions against repeating his past, rigorous private drills with Jail—contrasted his steely exterior. His tactical brilliance and moral duality cemented his legacy: a feared commander haunted by loss, yet steadfast in safeguarding futures through calculated sacrifice.
