When not on missions, Alex is cared for by his best friend and caretaker Jack, probably being a shortened version of her first name as she is a female. After his uncle's death, due to assassination by Alex's worst enemy and professional killer (Yassen Gregorovich, who dies of bullet wounds in book four),Jack became his legal guardian and stayed in England to care for him. The friends live in Chelsea, London, where Alex attends the local Brooklands School. His school life is often interrupted by the missions set by MI6. Alan Blunt is head of MI6's Special Operations Branch and along with his second-in-command, Tulip Jones, the two frequently appear throughout the novels, usually to brief and debrief Alex with his missions. |
