Doctor Alexander, real name Clifford A. R. Alexander, is a mage who spent most of his time chasing extra-dimensional baddies who had the bad taste to stick their noses into this dimension. He'd fought Superheroes and Supervillains both, because his focus was on doing what he felt was right; being neutral in outlook didn't hurt his being first Headmaster at Whateley. He is Whateley Academy's first Headmaster. He spent the several summers previous to the Academy reopening with Rev. Englund cleaning out mystic nastiness and putting warning signs around stuff that was too hard to remove.
