[BIO]
=========================
“Mr. Caster, your car is waiting downstairs. “
They were early. They were always early. Judy was an exceptional ‘executive assistant’… She had worked for some of the world’s best. She could multi-task… work under intense pressure and would sacrifice more for her job than any single person ought to. She was incredibly professional.
Unfortunately for her, she was working for a 25 year old billionaire. While none could question his work ethic, his tenacity or his results… his punctuality or lack thereof was a thing of legend at CasterCorp.
”Ask them to standby for 30 Judy. Thanks.”
He was reclining behind his desk. Both feet, clad in four thousand dollar shoes propped up. In his hands was an issue of Forbes magazine with himself on the cover. It was an early copy, magazines like Forbes knew better than to surprise the world’s most influential people. They weren’t the New York Times… No one subscribed hoping to read a breaking scoop.
It was a good article. Fluffy… but good. Rather than highlight his accomplishments, it focused on his extracurricular. His travel, the extreme sports… The many ladies of his life… Still, there was meat as well. In the last year and a half he had acquired 7 companies. Companies that had been in trouble with the law… in trouble with laborers… environmentalist… corruption. He had bought them for well over market value, and made the sellers and stock holders quite a bit of money.
While that was noteworthy, it was far from newsworthy. What had caught the attention of the financial world was that Alex had taken these companies, cleaned them out… turned them around and in doing so, increased profits across the board.
According to the Forbes, Alex was an idealist and a dreamer. A boy who had inherited a multi-billion dollar private company and was using its considerable leverage to wage his own economic war on corruption and pollution.
What they didn’t know, was that he had a considerable advantage in both his business and personal dealings. He was able to broker deals with hard liners… men who had refused even the staunchest of silver tongued negotiators. He had a super-natural knack for rooting out the disloyal and the corrupt.
His acquisitions were legendary. In just under a day, he could walk through an organization and shake hands with all of its employees. By nightfall he would dictate the who stays/who goes list to his assistant. Sometimes hundreds… sometimes a thousand employees would lose their jobs in a single swoop.
But sometimes that was only half the story. There were things in this world… things in the business world that required more than a silver tongue. More than a smile and a handshake. Many companies on his acquisition radar dealt in the areas of questionable science. Genetic Mutation… Experimentation. These companies wouldn’t go down without a fight. These companies gave the term Hostile Takeover a new meaning.
===========
Alex was a man on a mission. His parents had children when they were in their mid forties and by the time Alex had turned 22 his father had died of a heart attack. His mother had loved her father dearly, and while Alex had shown her an incredible amount of love and compassion, it wasn’t enough. She had followed her husband into the afterlife shortly thereafter. while Alex mourned their loss, it had been somewhat expected, and he knew that somewhere they were together... and happy.
Within 2 months of his mother’s death Alexander became the sole owner of CasterCorp. His life consisted mainly of board meetings… meetings where half of the board pushed hard to take the company public. They doubted his leadership ability, his experience and his maturity.
Without hesitation two of his board members, in an attempt to strike it rich, attempted to assassinate him. On a walkthrough of the R&D department they orchestrated an accident whereby he would put on an experimental mind reading helmet. A helmet capable of producing rough visual outputs of what you were supposedly thinking.
During the three minute experiment there would be a power outage and a subsequent power surge that was supposed to kill him.
Three days later he woke up in the hospital. The surge hadn’t fried his brain… instead it had given him the ability to solidify his hold on his father’s company… on his company. To root out the corrupt, and to lead police to the evidence to put the two men in jail.
Over the next four years Alex would grow into his abilities and begin using them to make the world a better place. A place his father and mother would be proud of.
