Description

Characterized by empathy and affection, these individuals possess a strong sense of self motivated by their desire to help others with whom they form a close attachment. Their purpose in life is to explore and discover new things and teach them to others. The American Secretary of State is an unnamed minor character in the novel Scorpia Rising. She is described by Joe Byrne as a "hardliner," and is central to Scorpia agent Abdul Aziz al-Rahim's plan to have the Elgin Marbles returned to Greece (and is apparently of Greek extract herself). A potential rival to the US president, the Secretary of State is in Egypt to make a speech denouncing Britain as a world power – a speech guaranteed to give her international attention. This is a multi-layered being who is both charming and complex. Your yearning for balance makes you happiest when you are appreciated for being who you are. Alex is onychophagiac (bites his nails). This is a common habit associated with anxiety due to nervousness and stress, revealed in Point Blanc. [18]

Aries Sun Scorpio rising individuals are exciting and intensely passionate people. They are hard, relentless, loyal, and intelligent. Those with this rising sign possess a strong sense of self-identity. In Crocodile Tears, he was hospitalized after having fractured his ankle and receiving burns from an exploding fuel drum. [13] [24] [15] [18] [19]James Sprintz is a minor character in Point Blanc. When Alex arrives at Point Blanc Academy, James is the only boy who had not yet been imprisoned and replaced by a Dr. Grief clone. He becomes Alex's only friend at the academy. He often comments on the other boys' strange behaviour (who are, in reality, clones of Dr. Grief), and the day before he was captured and replaced, he had planned to escape Point Blanc. He is eventually freed by Alex and the SAS, along with the other real boys, when the school is raided. They are very interested in others and their motives, but they do not want to share too many of their own details. They will listen intensely to you about your hopes and dreams, problems and confusions; however you can rarely get them to reveal much about themselves. 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 eyes Smithers • Ben Daniels • Sabina Pleasure • Bill Tanner • Anan Sukit • Hermann De Wynter • Marc Damon

Once a Virgo Sun/Scorpio Rising person has experienced a pain or hurt, they probably will not forget it and may hold a grudge indefinitely! Libra Sun Scorpio Rising The events of Ark Angel, beginning with Alex recovering in hospital and finishing with him crash landing in the South Pacific after falling from Space - October/November. Clarke, Stewart (24 July 2018). "Alex Rider Series Heads to TV With Sony, Eleventh Hour". Variety . Retrieved 18 October 2018.Ark Angel - Nikolei Drevin insisted that Alex joined him presumably to allow him to recover from his near-fatal "bicycle accident". These people are unusually adept at the use of psychic powers and intuition. The strongest feelings are experienced when someone close to him or her is threatened, or when that person’s wishes conflict with his own. At that point, they will fight like a tigress to defend that person. Alex met Sabina at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships in Britain. The two became friends and Alex started liking her but she was interested in older men. When she grows suspicious about Alex's disappearnces and Alex tells her the truth about his being a spy, sorta like James Bond, she thinks that it is a joke. In the epilogue of Skeleton Key, Sabina introduces Alex to her parents and takes him to dinner. According to Alex, the day was cloudy and grey before he met Sabina but, after he met her it turned out to be a sunny day. [19] In Eagle Strike, Sabina invited Alex to spend his summer vacation with her in Cornwall. She expresses her feelings for Alex, kissing him a couple of times and telling him more than once that she thinks he is attractive. After her father is targeted, Alex tries to tell her that he really is a spy but, she refuses to believe him and gets angry when he insists it’s the truth. After they are kidnapped by Damian Cray, however, she apologizes to him. She leaves with her family to live in America soon after. Though she insists that they can still be friends or more, Alex does not believe her and thinks that this is the end of their relationship. [21] In the TV series, however, their relationship is highly underrated. As Skeleton Key was not included in the TV series, a large part of their relationship was cut. Sabina was very rude to Alex when he told her that he was in fact a spy and did not even give an appropriate apology later. In the aftermath, she simply told him that she liked him and Alex hugged her. [20] Tom Harris It is revealed that Nightshade is on the other side of the world, and the Teachers are studying Alex. Although Leap of Faith had failed intolerably, they are going to go after him. They are very confident individuals who often try to play the role of leader. This can make them quite bossy at times and they can become egotistical as well.

They are a very controlled and focused individual, exhibiting great power of will under stress. If you are in stressful situation, the Aries Sun Scorpio Rising person is able to seize control and take charge of a situation.Razim is also highly intelligent, having earned top grades in school as a child and being almost fluent in three languages by the age of twelve. He is highly interested in science, and he had intended to invent his own weapon in college. His intelligence allowed him to contrive a convoluted plan to get the Elgin Marbles out of Britain while still dealing Scorpia's revenge on Alex Rider.

On pg 207 Dr Flint refers to Alex by his name in front of Freddy whilst Alex was undercover as 'Julius'. Tom Harris is Alex's best friend at Brookland High School. He first appeared in the novel Scorpia, and has since appeared in Crocodile Tears, Scorpia Rising, Nightshade and Nightshade Revenge. Alex is described as strikingly good looking with an athletic build, dark brown eyes said to be “too serious for his face” and fair hair.

Scorpio Ascendant Personality Traits

His arrogance is evident in that his self-centredness overwhelms his incredible intellect. He was cruel, manipulative and single-minded, callously deciding to kill Julius Grief after the Horseman File had done it's work. He wasn't as flamboyant as Mrs Rothman or as snide and emotional as Winston Yu, displaying extreme difference from the rest of the executive board of SCORPIA. Alex Rider first meets him in Snakehead when he wanders into a minefield. Ash tells him not to move and leaves, claiming he will get help. This was later found to be a test, to see how Alex would react. Alex discovers that Ash is his godfather after meeting with Ethan Brooke, head of Covert Action for ASIS. The prospect of learning more about his past lures Alex into working for ASIS, alongside Ash, investigating the ruthless Snakehead. They are sent on a mission together to infiltrate the Snakehead by posing as Afghan refugees trying to gain the Snakehead's help in illegally immigrating to Australia. However Major Yu is on to them from the start, so both are captured in Darwin. Alex is sent to a surgery where his organs will be illegally harvested, whilst Ash vanishes along with the Major. Like other sociopaths, Razim is self-centered and entirely self-focused. He wishes to name his inventions after himself and he kills people who make jokes about him, as demonstrated when he used a paper knife to murder one of his officers who joked that Razim had resembled a Middle Eastern Harry Potter. Sister Jeanne, sits next to Lamar, looks like private clinic matron; well-built, chestnut hair that always looks fake, slathered in makeup (Too Much Make Up) Razim is studying the issue of pain, with the aim to come up with a measurable unit of pain, naming it after himself, by torturing all kinds of members of society, with a teenager being the top of his wish list, as he explains when exposing a French agent to the same experience.
