Murray Fox was a Human male who was born in a suburb of Greater New York on Earth. He later traveled to the planet Macedon III aboard one of several sleeper ships that left the Sol system. He eventually rose to become the first king of the Empire of Thrace and changed his name to the more Grecian-sounding name of Alexander.

Following his death, he was entombed in a specially-built tomb located in the city of New Athens. (TOS - Star Trek II Short Stories short story: "Under Twin Moons")
