Life
Alex Rider was born in West London, England, to John Rider, a spy, and Helen Beckett, a nurse working in radiology.
When Alex was a baby, his mother and father were killed in an airplane crash due to a bomb on the plane which he later found out that his godfather, Ash, working for scorpia, was responsible for, after being ordered to, by Julia Rothman. Fortunately, Alex was not on the airplane; he had an ear infection and stayed behind with a nanny. Alex's paternal uncle, Ian Rider, raised Alex after his parents died.
Ian and Alex had a very good relationship. They were very close, and when Ian was home they did practically everything together. Ian often took Alex around the world to educate him about other cultures. Alex has lived abroad, once spending the best part of a year living in Barcelona, Spain, and he has also stayed in the Marais district of Paris, France. Ian Rider was later murdered by Yassen Gregorovich, an assassin, and it was revealed to Alex that his uncle and father were spies, and that he was trained his entire life to become spy himself.
Because Alex's parents and uncle died, his former housekeeper/babysitter (now his new guardian), Jack Starbright, takes care of him. As of Snakehead, Alex lives in Chelsea, London, with Jack Starbright. He attends Brookland Comprehensive School and is now in year 8.
Before Alex was forced to join MI6, he wanted to be a professional soccer player, but now is unsure of what he wants to do when he finishes school. He has stated that he is not interested in becoming a full-time MI6 agent.
[edit] Talents
Alex is fluent in several languages. In addition his native English, he speaks fluent French, Spanish, Japanese and German. He also speaks basic Italian.
Alex is skilled in many activities, including extreme sports - martial arts (Alex is a black belt in karate), scuba diving, abseiling, mountain climbing, rifle shooting and snowboarding. He also plays tennis, football and basketball, and is on the Brookland School football team.
Alex's athletic talents greatly assist him during his missions many times: for example, in Stormbreaker, he rides a four-wheeler to elude guards; in Point Blank he snowboards down a mountain on an ironing board to escape Point Blanc Academy, in Skeleton Key he Scuba dives into Skeleton Key, in Scorpia he BASE jumps into a factory, in Ark Angel he walks between two skyscrapers on a tightrope and in Snakehead, he kayaks down a river on a makeshift kayak
As the series progresses, Alex becomes more skilled at spying. In the novel Eagle Strike, he pursued Damian Cray after MI6 refused to investigate him, and joined the ASIS in Snakehead.
[edit] Physical appearance
Alex Rider is described as a strikingly good-looking 14-year-old boy, with fair hair, and a handsome, slender face that "would attract plenty of girls". He has serious dark-brown eyes and a slightly hard, narrow mouth. Alex is well-built and slim, and has a tan. He is also mentioned to have a birthmark on his left shoulder. He is also very fit, being described as having "the body of an athlete." Alex is 5' 7" tall and weighs 10 stone. Alex sometimes wears casual clothing (such as jeans, T-shirts), but mostly wears sportier clothing (tracksuit and 'pants'/briefs as well as a speedo) to go with the fact he is good at sports, and he often wears a wooden bead necklace. In the latest novel, it is revealed that he wears boxers.
Towards the later novels, even though he stays fourteen, Alex is described as looking older - this being due to the stress, emotional and physical, he endures because of his missions, as well as going through puberty.
[edit] Relationships
[edit] Jack Starbright
The person Alex has had the most time with is Jack Starbright, his uncle Ian always having been away on missions for MI6. Alex met Jack when she came from America under employment of his uncle as a housekeeper and babysitter for Alex, who was seven years old at the time. She has known Alex for seven years. After Ian died, Jack became Alex's guardian. Jack is Alex's closest friend, and even though it was originally her job to care for Alex, they have grown attached and their relationship has become very personal. However, as Alex's MI6 life starts to take a toll on him, it also places somewhat of a strain on their relationship - Jack is always very worried and upset that Alex's life is constantly being put in danger.
[edit] Sabina Pleasure
Alex met Sabina at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships and they quickly became good friends. Sabina soon became suspicious when Alex had to leave the Championships early, and more so when Sabina saved Alex's life, and Alex then disappears on a mission for several weeks. Alex's constant disappearances place a real difficulty on their relationship, and when Sabina finally finds out the truth about Alex, things turn out differently for them. Sabina soon leaves Britain to live in America, although she does send him a card when Alex is later in the hospital. Sabina shows some romantic feelings for Alex--as she has kissed him twice--and expresses her feelings to Alex that he is attractive. She shows up at the end of Snakehead to have dinner with him.
[edit] Mrs. Jones
Alex first met Mrs. Jones when she briefed him for his first mission. Mrs. Jones is very sympathetic to Alex, and offers reassurance when Alex is uneasy about what is required to do for his missions. Mrs. Jones shows great concern for Alex's situation - often protesting that he is not be used again, but all the while admitting that he is useful to MI6. She shows signs of great attachment to Alex, of an almost motherly kind. Mrs. Jones also has hinted that she has had children (at least two) and that they were taken from her, which could contribute to why she has so much sympathy for Alex. At the end of Scorpia it is revealed that her first name is Tulip since her parents were keen gardeners.
[edit] Yassen Gregorovich
Alex first met the Russian contract killer who killed his uncle on Herod Sayle's ground during his mission in Stormbreaker. At the time, Alex originally vows to kill him. Later, during the events of Eagle Strike, it is revealed that Gregorovich worked with Alex's father John 15 years prior. When Gregorovich's friend captures Alex, Gregorovich is able to arrange for Alex to bullfighting instead of being shot directly, leading to Alex being able to escape. At the end of the novel, when Damian Cray (the man who hired Gregorovich) orders him to kill Alex, he refuses and is shot and killed. Before dying, Gregorovich tells Alex that he worked with his father and to go to Venice and find Scorpia to find his destiny.
[edit] Appearances
Alex Rider has appeared in seven novels, two graphic novels, two supplementary books, and two short stories.
[edit] Film
In the 2006 Stormbreaker film directed by Geoffrey Sax, Alex Rider is played by Alex Pettyfer, a rising British actor. Pettyfer was chosen from 500 hopefuls for the role of Alex.
Anthony Horowitz, who was the scriptwriter for the film as well as the author of the novels, recommended Pettyfer to play Alex Rider after seeing him in Tom Brown's Schooldays. Horowitz gave Pettyfer intense guidance on becoming the character of Alex Rider, expressing him and bringing his athletic talents, intellect and charm to the screen.
The role of Alex Rider was said to be the most physically demanding ever taken by a child actor. Pettyfer undertook martial arts training with Hong Kong martial arts choreographer Donnie Yen, as well as horseback riding. Pettyfer did most of his own stunts in the film, and underwent major physical preparation for the role.
Pettyfer was fifteen years old at the time of the film's shooting, just one year older than his character.
