Before Day 1
Alexis had a PDA with numerous detailed files on all the key players in the "Eye for an Eye" plan, in which he and his brother Andre would rescue their father and kill David Palmer and frame Jack Bauer for the murder.

About a month before Day 1, Alexis selected and started an affair with Elizabeth Nash, a member of Palmer's staff. Through Nash, he was able to track Palmer's movements.

Day 1
Alexis first appeared when he killed Kevin Carroll and blew up a building with an unknown purpose, but there were henchmen of Kevin's inside.

Alexis was also shown having sex with Elizabeth. After seeing a picture of Alexis in a group of terrorist photos, Nash realized that he was not who he appeared to be and contacted CTU, where Jack convinced her to help them plant a homing device on Alexis. Alexis planned to kill her after the meeting, but everybody's plans went awry when Nash stabbed him. Her attack left Alexis close to death and unable to meet with Alan Morgan. He was supposed to meet Alan at the California Plaza and pay him $50,000 for shutting off a section of a power grid, 26-GG, in Saugus. Alexis died from his injury after being traded back to his family in exchange for Jack Bauer.
