Alex is typically cheerful and respectful with a large dose of cynicism and a very fine attention to detail. He cares deeply for the people under his care | Alex is typically cheerful and respectful with a large dose of cynicism and a very fine attention to detail. He cares deeply for the people under his care and despite his working history, he will give all his efforts to helping those individuals along a road to recovery. He has been known to be somewhat glib and sarcastic but, in truth, it is more of an in built defense mechanism to ensure that he retains a sense of perspective and detachment form his work. | ||
Having spent the vast majority of his life working outside of Starfleet he is more used to working outside of a traditional chain of command than others might like and has a general indifference to rank.

In addition, Brodie tends to address people by the first name rather than surname or rank. | Having spent the vast majority of his life working outside of Starfleet he is more used to working outside of a traditional chain of command than others might like and has a general indifference to rank.
