However, as their ship entered the atmosphere, engine failure caused the craft and its crew to hurtle into the planet's surface. Few survived the crashed and despite the team's best efforts, they were gradually picked off by the native wildlife and disease. The last survivor, Alexander had resigned himself to his fate. Luckily, a passing group of
natives found and nursed him back to health. Brought back to their settlement, he decided to learn their language and better their quality of life in an attempt to repay them. With his surveying ability and knowledge of basic irrigation, the settlement's harvest has grown exponentially. So to, has his standing with the natives. Affectionately nicknamed "The Other", Alexander had planned to live out the rest of his life with them.

Not wanting to lose his new home, Alexander alerted the King of the settlement and, due to his origins, was dubbed the "Ambassador to the Sky".
