𝐀𝐋𝐄𝐗 𝐊𝐑𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐄

 

Alex Kralie is a character in MarbleHornets, originally as the secondary protagonist, before transitioning into the role of the main antagonist. Alex appears in almost all of the entries up to Entry #20, when the series begins to focus on Jay and his investigation. He makes appearances in most entries between #35 and #52, and has appeared occasionally since Entry #52.

Alex was apparently listed as publicly missing by March 2009, roughly two months before MarbleHornets actually begins, and appears on a poster in a gas station. This was seen in Always Watching.

Alex was the director for the student film Marble Hornets. Early on, the series focuses on the tapes that Alex gave Jay and the mental breakdown that occurred during the time he worked on the film, with Jay adding comments and notes about the content. However, even though the videos have shifted to centering on Jay and his dilemma, Alex is still a very prominent character.

He first came into contact with the Operator while filming Marble Hornets. This makes him very paranoid and he begins to film himself at almost all the times, even while he is sleeping. The tapes begin exhibiting strange occurrences including Operator sightings and irritable behavior from Alex which Jay says he has never seen before. Jay suspects he has been messing with the audio in the tapes.

Alex has also been shown to exhibit behavior similar to a proxy, although it is confirmed that he is not one. After his descent into madness, he has repeatedly been linked with the appearance of the Operator, such as calling Jay shortly before the Operator shows up, and remaining inside when the Operator shows up in his house, after telling Amy to jump out of the window .

He died after a long confrontation between Tim and himself; Tim stabbed him in the neck and finished him after he fell to the floor, writhing. With his last words he implored Tim to carry on his mission and to kill everyone connected to the Operator, then kill himself. Tim's stance on this is left ambiguous
