Doctor Gilbert Alexander, later known as Alex the Great after losing his mind, is a major antagonist in the science fiction video game BioShock 2, being the main antagonist of the level "Fontaine Futuristics".
An ambitious scientist, Alexander was one of Rapture's leading researchers prior to the city's collapse into lawless anarchy; following this, he became a dedicated member of the Rapture Family, faithfully serving the Family's goals of creating a true Utopian Being.
Though he proved to be instrumental in the development of Sofia Lamb's experimental techniques to this end, Alexander has been in self-imposed exile beneath the long-abandoned Fontaine Futuristics building for several years as a result; as such, he becomes a direct threat to Subject Delta during his journey through the apparently deserted corporate headquarters.
