[edit] Final Fantasy IX
Alexander cannot be summoned by the player in Final Fantasy IX, however Alexander plays a major role in the storyline.
Alexander is the Eidolon used by the Summoners hundreds of years before the start of the game, back when they inhabited the Mist Continent. During an experiment however, the Eidolon went on a rampage. To stop Alexander from being used again, the Summoners left the Mist Continent, leaving him there. They also divided his gem into four fragments.
Hundreds of years later Kuja desperately seeks Alexander's power so he can overthrow Garland and become ruler of both Gaia and Terra. Alexander can only be summoned when there is a dire emergency, and all four pieces of the Gem are gathered at Alexandria Castle. Using Queen Brahne Alexandros's greed, Kuja manipulates Alexandria to conquer most of the Mist Continent, along with the gems he needs. Princess Garnet and Eiko summoned it together when Kuja attacked Alexandria with Bahamut. Alexander defeated Bahamut easily with a flurry of holy light. However, Kuja tried to summon the Invincible so he could steal Alexander and manipulate the Eidolon for his own uses. This plan backfired when Garland appeared in control of the Invincible and used it to destroy both Alexander and Alexandria.
Unlike previous games where Alexander appeared, Final Fantasy IX gives more details to Alexander's nature. This is the first time where Alexander's Holy element is drawn out by four magnificent, seraphic wings. The Eidolon's immobile qualities are explained by its guardianship and attachment to Alexandria Castle.

[edit] Final Fantasy XI
Alexander is the name of a server, as well as the final boss in the Final Fantasy XI: Treasures of Aht Urhgan storyline. He is brought to life to bring the empire into an era of peace, but is instead inadvertently used as a doomsday weapon that will unleash Ragnarok, due to his ongoing feud with the dark divinity Odin.
In battle, Alexander uses his trademark Divine Judgement at 50% health (similar to prime avatars), and has a variety of other new attacks such as Divine Spear, Radiant Sacrament, and Mega Holy.
[edit] Dissidia Final Fantasy
Alexander appears as a summon in Dissidia Final Fantasy. When summoned it "locks" the user's Brave Points for a short time, preventing its change. Like some summons in Dissidia, Alexander has two different appearances: an Auto version which is triggered by performing a Brave Break on the opponent, and shows an artwork Final Fantasy VII appearance, and a Manual version which shows a colored version of his Final Fantasy VIII artwork. Alexander's auto version is obtained in the third stage of the Destiny Odyssey IX storyline and its manual version is obtained in the second stage of the Destiny Odyssey IX storyline.
[edit] Final Fantasy: Unlimited After
Alexander is also a summoning used by Kaze in the sequel of Final Fantasy: Unlimited called Final Fantasy: Unlimited After. It can be summoned by the Magun by using the following Soil Charge Triad:
- More infinite than the open sky, Sky Blue!
- The one to fill out the devilish darkness, Holy Black!
- The light after trial, Judgment White!
[edit] Itadaki Street Portable
Alexander also appears in Dragon Quest & Final Fantasy in Itadaki Street Portable.
[edit] Etymology
"Alexander" is a common western name of Greek origin, the original name being Ἀλέξανδρος (Alexandros), "Protector of Men", an adequate reference to the Summon's Holy elemental nature.
