Alex McHugh's History

Alexandra "Alex" McHugh is the daughter of Kathleen McHugh and John Casey. She works in a diner specializing in pie, while pursuing a degree in criminal justice.

Alex was the daughter of Kathleen McHugh and her fiance, Alex Coburn. She is named after her father. Both Alex and her mother believed that Coburn had died in battle when, in reality, his death had been faked as a cover for his recruitment into the NSA, where he was given a new identity; John Casey.

When Casey abducts Alex from her work with the intention of protecting her from the Ring operative, she is under the impression that she is being kidnapped, as she has no knowledge of Casey being her father at that point. Not believing that Casey is trying to help her, she attempts to escape by attacking Casey when she exits his vehicle. Here, it becomes apparent that she has fighting skills, she claims that she learned these skills at a self-defense class, in which she earned an 'A.'

According to Morgan, Alex is a lot like her father when she is angry.
