Skunk - Blown up by Alex Rider throwing a flask of diesel fuel into the boiler of the steam train he was riding on which caused it to explode. Alex Rider is a series of spy novels by the English author Anthony Horowitz. The novels revolve around a teenage spy named Alex Rider and is primarily aimed towards young adults. The series currently comprises 14 novels, as well as six graphic novels, seven short stories, and a supplementary book. Tom Turner (named Glen Carver in the US version of Skeleton Key) is a minor protagonist in Skeleton Key. Like Belinda Troy, he is a CIA agent, sent to Cuba with Troy and Alex, to investigate General Alexei Sarov. Turner and Troy object to Alex being sent with them. They often ignore his opinions and treat him as a hindrance, even after Alex saves Turner from The Salesman. He reveals nothing about his personal life, other than he is a former Marine, and dreams of dying for his country. He and Troy are killed when trying to infiltrate Sarov's headquarters through the "Devil's Chimney", a hidden underwater tunnel. They are killed by the traps which are disguised as stalactites. Turner is described as "about forty, a handsome man, with fair, close-cropped hair, blue eyes and a face that managed to be both tough and boyish". He is also mentioned as Tom Turner in the US of Ark Angel. John Rider was Alex Rider's father and an agent of MI6. It is revealed in the book Russian Roulette that John became double agent for MI6 and criminal organization Scorpia, and sought to infiltrate and destroy the latter. He briefly met and worked with a young Yassen Gregorovich in Scorpia, and managed to initially dissuade Yassen from becoming a contract killer. Scorpia discovering of his MI6 association would later lend to he and his wife's death.

Ben Daniels is a minor protagonist who has appeared in Stormbreaker, Snakehead and Never Say Die. He first meets Alex at an SAS training camp in the Brecon Beacons, where Alex was sent by MI6 for training. In Snakehead, Ben secretly kills Anan Sukit, who was attempting to shoot Alex after he had beaten Sukit's fighter "Sunthorn" in an arena fight. Alex later meets Ben again, where he takes him to an MI6 outpost in Bangkok. Sarov becomes involved in Special Forces to put down the Afghan Military. Harold Lunt’s band SLAM! breaks up, and he changes his name to Damian Cray. The Scorpio Sun Scorpio rising person is organized, strong-willed, and focused. This Sun/Rising planetary combination comes with amazingly intense emotions which are often easily suppressed, but can also be positively channeled and put to good use.

Sagittarius Sun Scorpio Rising

Graham Adair • Smithers • Mark Kellner • George Adair • Tom Harris • Jerry Harris • Harold Liebermann The Virgo Sun Scorpio Rising is a mysterious, inner mind that stores vital information and uses it only sparingly. It enjoys problem solving with a scientific approach. Ali Glasim, the oldest man in the facility. Started worked in Iraqi torture, joined the weapons inspectorate, looking for nuclear missiles. He was stealing them and selling to anyone who could pay, including the Millers

Alex's official year of birth is stated as being 1987, with Alex stating in Point Blanc that he was two years old in 1989. [18] However, in Snakehead Alex remembers the Boxing Day Tsunami (2004). [13] Then in the US version of Crocodile Tears, it mentions Obama as being the President of the United States. [24] Considering these events, his birth year would more reliably be February 13, 1996. On pg 207 Dr Flint refers to Alex by his name in front of Freddy whilst Alex was undercover as 'Julius'. Before Alex was forced to join MI6, he wanted to be a professional footballer, but is now unsure of what he wants to do when he finishes school, once jokingly stating he wanted to be a train driver. He still does not express any interest in following in his father’s and uncle’s footsteps in becoming a full-time MI6 agent. Although Alex's birth year is 1987 (so he would be fourteen in 2001) it has been said that General Alexei Sarov was born in 1940, but in Skeleton Key, he is sixty-two years old, meaning the events in the books must occur in 2002 when Alex would be fifteen years old instead of fourteen. Mr Someone", unknown name, freelance assassin. Supposedly the best in the business, killed his parents at twelve, went professional at fifteen; described as being a good-looking Caribbean man, with grizzled hair, a thin moustache and intelligent, humorous and dangerous eyesCray takes the two teenagers with him when his men seize Air Force One, and shoots Gregorovich when the Russian refuses to kill the children. He then fires at Alex, seemingly killing him, and gets into a fight with Sabina. This is interrupted when Alex recovers (having worn a bulletproof vest), and with Sabina, shoves Cray out of the plane and into one of the turbines, vaporising him instantly and forcing the pilot (Henryk) to make a crash landing. Open to change, the Scorpio rising person flashes between devotion and adoration on the one hand – and domination and ruthlessness on the other. This may make you rather unpredictable, but it also ensures no one will ever be bored as your relationship or friendship unfolds. Following his parent's demise, Alex’s paternal uncle Ian Rider adopted Alex and raised him in his house in Chelsea, London. Ian and Alex had a close relationship, doing practically everything together when Ian was home, which was not often as Ian was also secretly a secret agent who worked for the Special Operations Division of MI6.
