Editing Alexander Morrison (section)

=== Involvement with the M.A.N. Agency ===
In 1995, Alexander was approached by senior leadership of the [[M.A.N. Agency]] following internal review of his academic work and financial behavior. The Agency identified his expertise in economic systems and market manipulation as suitable for organized criminal operations. The Agency offered Alexander a staggering offer which he accepted gratefully. Alexander quit his job as a professor and started working full-time for the M.A.N. Agency, his first steps into the criminal world.

At the time of Alexander's recruitment, Dr. Samuel Redmond was already an established asset within the M.A.N. Agency, operating in labor relations, union influence, and regulatory manipulation. Alexander was recruited to oversee capital flows, asset control, and financial structuring. Their roles were deliberately designed to overlap as a safeguard against internal consolidation of power.

Alexander was assigned to operations involving stock manipulation, asset laundering, price control, and the financial structuring of narcotics and contraband markets. His work contributed directly to increased Agency revenue. Through performance-based compensation and Agency-backed revenue streams, Alexander accumulated significant personal wealth during the late 1990s. With personal wealth, he bought multiple properties and small companies within Los Santos to increase power for himself and the M.A.N Agency.

==== 1998 Vladivostok Operation ====
In 1998, the M.A.N. Agency authorized an [[Vladivostok Operation|economic operation]] in Vladivostok, Russia. The operation was led by Dr. Samuel Redmond and conducted in coordination with [[Grigory Venkov]], the Agency’s primary regional contact. Alexander and two additional Agency associates participated in the economic operation in Russia.

The operation occurred during the post-Soviet privatization period. The Agency sought to exploit weakened regulatory oversight and rapid transfer of state-owned assets. Redmond handled labor-related negotiations, while Alexander and the other associates managed financial structuring, capital routing, and acquisition of undervalued assets.

Following completion of the operation, Redmond ordered the delegation to return to the United States. Alexander remained in Vladivostok for an additional night, against the instructions of Redmond. 

Morrison’s failure to comply with Redmond’s directive resulted in internal disciplinary action. As a corrective measure, Agency leadership elevated Redmond to the [[M.A.N Agency Board Member|governing board]]. The decision intensified a long-standing rivalry between the two men.

The night that Alexander stayed in Vladivostok, Morrison met [[Victorya Solovyova]], who was engaged in sex work near the hideout of the Agency. The two converse and Alexander bought her services and spent the night in an abandoned motel. Afterwards, Alexander fell madly in love with Victorya and maintained contact with her after returning to the United States. He later arranged for her relocation to Los Santos against the wishes of the Agency.
