Alex Halprin

Alex Halprin, often called just Alex, is the protagonist of the Ashfall trilogy.

Before the Eruption
==Before the Yellowstone volcano erupted, Alex was a 15 year old living in Cedar Falls, Iowa. He was a black belt in Taekwondo. He spent many hours sparring, hanging out with friends, and playing World of Warcraft. He often found that his parents frustrated him, as he argued frequently with his mother, while his father seemed indifferent to everything. He found his younger sister, Rebecca, annoying and talkative and called her a brat. ==
