Biography
Alex Hartman was the CEO of Hammer Valley Hydro, the second largest energy provider in Stalburg. Presumably, the construction of the Black Rock Nuclear Power Plant outranked his company for energy production, causing financial problems for his company. The problems escalated, and Hartman gradually became stressed and unstable. At some point during the acquisition of Walter Co.'s acquisition of the Bergmann Group and Stalburg Steel, the neglect of maintenace around the city caused an accident which resulted in the death of Hartman's wife and child. This was Hartman's breaking point, and he asserted that Jeff Walter was the cause of all of these problems and began to plot his revenge.
Hartman began a thorough investigation, searching every district of Stalburg for possible leads on Walter's location, and came to believe that Walter was out to get him too. Hartman allied himself with the former co-founder of the Bergmann Group, Eric Klienmann, who provided him with dynamite, and was approached by the former CEO of Stalburg Steel, Mikhail Rosenthal. Hartman set a small base of operations in a sewer system underneath Stalburg, and at some point left a trap for Jeff Walter below the foundation of Walter's headquarters. When his investigation began to reach a dead end, Hartman somehow uncovered that Rosenthal was allied with Walter, and was informing him about Hartman's plans. Hartman interrogated and killed Rosenthal for this, and discovered that Walter was hiding in a villa owned by Rosenthal.
On December 19th, 1986, Hartman and Klienmann broke into the villa during Max Koller's interview with Walter. Eric was dismissed by Hartman when Walter provided a location to find Xeander Berg, but Hartman stayed behind, and shot Max Koller when he attempted to disarm him. Hartman either shot Walter when he attempted to defend himself, or witnessed Walter kill himself. Afterwords, Hartman was shocked with what transpired, and isn't heard from again.
