Born August 9th, 1871 in Point Lee, Colony of San Fernando, Alexander Hwang Jones Lin. He grew up the son of a wealthy fisherman company owner and Alexander himself worked for his father until 1891 when he became involved with the newly created Center Party of Slokias Islands, he quickly rose the ranks in terms of position until he was elected to the House in 1904. By 1908, he was the head of the opposition to the government of the Left Party. In 1910 he ran for President on the issues of fixing the economy and as a moderate. He won with 47% in the first at 58% in the second round. He became the first Ren president of Slokais Islands and the first from Point Lee. During his first two terms in office, he led the nation through a time of economic expansion and introduced the basis of social security in the country. He was known to smoke a pipe during important decisions, a choice that would lead to his death from lung cancer. In 1919, it was revealed that he used 2 million in funds for personal use in his company, an investigation was launched and he ended up surviving, though his reputation was hurt so badly that he almost lost in 1922, though managed to remain in office until his loss in a snap election, 2 years later. After he left office, he remained part of politics as a House member until 1940 when he retired, afterward he taught at New Liverpool Political College and restored some of his reputation before his death in 1960. However, due to the Juan Costa being President at the time, his body was simply buried at the cemetery in New Liverpool, however, in 1975 it was moved to a new ground near his childhood home in Point Lee. Overall he is in the better half of Presidents, in terms of popularity.
