Alec Trevelyan

Agent Alec Trevelyan is a canon character from the GoldenEye continuum. He was recruited by Kitty Callahan as the first member of Team Phoenix.

He is also not Alec Troven. One would do well to keep from confusing the two.

Appearance
Alec stands at about 5'11", with blond hair and grey-green eyes. Those are usually the second thing people notice about Trevelyan - the ugly scar disfiguring the right half of his face tends to grab people's attention and hold it at gunpoint. (He really hates it when people stare, it's very annoying.) Luckily for him, the disguise generator can hide this defining feature. His build is classified as "athletic", which means he's slightly more fit than most people, even most PPC agents.

Personality
Alec is a sarcastic jerk. He is a born misanthrope, but if one can stand being around him for long enough to discover this, he actually isn't really a bad sort. Alec doesn't have many friends, and he'd like to keep it that way. He has many acquaintances, surely, but he is wary of trusting others and prefers to keep his close friends to a circle of ten or less. Currently his circle consists of nine people – his fellow team members, Kitty, Rena Chang, and An-chi Tsai.

During his time with the PPC, he has discovered that he is a hypocrite of the first water, because he has a remarkable inability to practice what he preaches. He does not like this part of himself, and finds it more than despicable, but he is coming to terms with it and accepting it as a part of himself that he will try to change. Since Alec is a smart cookie, he has figured out ways to manipulate people to an extraordinary degree, using occluded half-truths and misleading people by playing on their assumptions to get them to think what he wants them to. He is very, very, very good at this.

Trevelyan shows little regard for his own physical well-being, often jumping headfirst into situations when he is on his own. When he has someone to protect, he is a little bit more careful. His Patronus is a rangy-looking lion.

Despite his burn scar, he has very little aversion to fire.

History
''Spoiler Alert for GoldenEye ahead. Read at your own risk.''

Alec was born in London, England, to two fugitives from Stalin’s regime. When Alec was five, his father, who had grown increasingly neurotic and full of self-loathing since the betrayal by the British and could not stand living among them any longer, shot Alec’s mother and then himself. These events provided the impetus for Alec's lifelong hatred of the British, and his eventual defection to the Russians after faking his own death in 1986.

Nine years later, his old friend James Bond caught up to him, and after getting over the shock of betrayal, managed to bring Trevelyan's entire operation crashing down around his ears. As he was facing imminent death by impalement, the world seemed to stop and Kitty Callahan appeared, asking him if he wanted to join the PPC. Unsurprisingly, since it was a way out of the imminent death, he agreed. Callahan hauled him up (interestingly, there seemed to be two Trevelyans, the one who was going to die and the one who accepted her offer) and brought him back to HQ.

Department of Mary-Sues
With the other members of his group, Trevelyan was taught the basics of agenthood by Callahan, in return for assisting the young probationer with the essentials of being an assassin. Out of all of the team, his relationship with Callahan was the most rocky towards the beginning, initially dismissing her as a "stupid little girl" incapable of producing any results. After their first mission together, he began to respect her and even to enjoy her company.

Valcentica
After Callahan was sent off to Valcentica, a noncanonical school of magic that was a breeding ground for RP Sues, Trevelyan was wracked by guilt about having to suppress her memories of the PPC before she was sent off. As soon as Upstairs suggested that she could use backup, he stepped up to the plate and took the position of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. After he went, the canon was officially declared off-limits, which didn't stop Agent Rena Chang from sneaking in and joining them, providing some much-needed moral support for Trevelyan. They were later joined by a third agent, An-chi Tsai, an acquaintance of Rena's. In May 2007 HST, Kitty was temporarily killed, and brought back in less time than it takes to order a pizza, though still without her memory. This, of course, did not make Alec feel any better.

The main Mary-Sue they were after has since reformed and been shaken around so many times that nobody has any idea what's going on. Rena has since gone MIA from this canon - it is assumed that HQ was starting to wonder where exactly she'd gotten off to. Other threats have also appeared, among them a vampire known as Vissiand Morgale, whose rash actions caused a demon horde to descend upon the castle. In the ensuing battle, Trevelyan was struck down, only to be revived by Kitty's reawakened Sue-powers in the middle of his poker game with Death.

Mission Logs
The Bourne Believer: "Set at the end of The Bourne Identity, Bourne finds a friend in a 12 yr old girl who believes that Bourne isn't at fault for his actions. She is determined to help him and she becomes Bourne's sidekick! Bad summary, better story!" Alec's first mission with Kitty.

Team Phoenix's mission logs are currently under revision because, in the words of their chronicler Chatvert, they "totally sucked".
