Along with Dylan Sharp, a girl posing as a male so she can serve in the army, they are part of the crew aboard this living airship. Since Alek's arrival onto the ship he has outgrown his usefulness no longer being needed with anything mechanical. He is treated as an outcast among the crew due to being a prince of the opposing enemy. He couldn't learn to do anything else either aboard the airship and was a dead weight.  It was maddening to him, that a prince was useless. As he thought of these things another mutated animal appears flying towards the ship. Dylan points out that it was an imperial eagle saying it had two heads. Alek shuddered at the thought but interested. Dylan then pointed out it took messages from the Czar of Russia directly. As it sped towards the bridge they went to go see.
