自己紹介

Dr. Gilbert Alexander[1] was a scientist who worked for Frank Fontaine and later Andrew Ryan. He worked with Augustus Sinclair and Dr. Yi Suchong on the Vita-Chamber and was influential in the creation and upkeep of Big Daddies, modifying their suits with electronics. Alexander developed the bond between the Big Daddies and Little Sisters, starting with Eleanor Lamb and Subject Delta, in whose creation he was also heavily involved.

Alexander was an ambitious young researcher in the early days of Fontaine Futuristics, specializing in mechanical and robotic engineering. At the height of his career, he designed much of Rapture's automated security system, including the ubiquitous Security Bots. He constructed the mechanism which implanted ADAM slugs into Little Sisters, and ultimately, even assisted with the creation of the bond which links Subject Delta to Eleanor Lamb.

Alexander has the distinction of being both a helper and the antagonist on the Fontaine Futuristics level. Originally highly committed to his job, he came to regret his actions, siding with Sofia Lamb and her Rapture Family, and volunteering to become the first "Utopian". Based on Jack's mental conditioning (as Sofia believed it to be), the subject of the operation would be imbued with the entire collective genius of Rapture via ADAM infusion, suppressing his own personal identity. The plan failed and Alexander was heavily mutated by the enormous amounts of ADAM he was imbued with and, most likely, because of too much genetic material from the people injected into him. By the time the player meets him, Alexander has become heavily spliced and deeply insane, calling himself "Alex the Great" and controlling most of the functions of the level with a heavily-modified Security Bot, which he manipulates through four hijacked Bot Shutdown Panels. The Bot itself is marked by its added television monitor (displaying Gil's manic eye) and distinctive violet running-lights. Now, Alex the Great spends most of his time "running" the Fontaine Futuristics business, controlling his spliced "employees" and usually sadistically punishing them

Before losing his mind, he recorded audio logs with instructions for gaining access to the inner areas of Fontaine Futuristics. In these logs, he asks whoever finds them to enter and kill him. However, the post-mutation Gil uses his modified Security Bot (and surprisingly tuneful singing) to prevent Delta from accessing a Security Office where one of the messages had been left for him, as well as the controls to enter the secret laboratory where his heavily-mutated form resides, being kept in a large glass tank.

Subject Delta is forced to destroy Gil's control over the Security Bots, and later find Gil himself in his containment tube. Delta manages to lure Alex close enough to the glass wall of his lair, so a sample of his DNA could be taken by a mechanism operated by the control panel. Having access to Persephone now, the player is left to decide Gil's fate
