	Three years after Brian's birth, Rydell was summoned to a meeting with Travis Dillon on Earth, where he learned that Dillon had actually swapped places in time with his 20th Century (now 21st Century) counterpart. Rydell was sworn to secrecy and agreed to help the past Dillon adjust to life in the future. As a part of this, he invited Travis to a reunion of the Secondprize command officers at The Suburb, where the swap was revealed due to the appearance of two agents from Temporal Investigations. Learning that the 24th Century Dillon would die in the past soon after his arrival, Rydell put a plan into motion, rescuing his former first officer and leaving a fake corpse provided by Dr. Aldridge in its place.

 ==Childhood==
 Alexander Rydell was the youngest child of the popular singing duo Fabe and Mabe. Rydell's parents scored several hits including Be-Bop-A-Bolian and Hortas In Love. Rydell's three older sisters formed the group the Rhondellas and had several hits of their own. At first, it appeared that Rydell would follow along into the family occupation. As a teenager, he penned several of his parents' biggest hits, but gradually Rydell decided that he wanted to do something different with his life. While his parents toured and saved to open their own resort on Bransonis, Rydell worked to get into Starfleet Academy. He wanted to prove that his family was capable of more than just music. He was accepted, and, since his parents and sisters used the stage name Deveraux on their albums, no one knew about Rydell's famous family. (''[[Of Gods and First Officers]]'' [TRK, VEX])

	Realizing that one of their best officers was on a slide towards anarchy, Starfleet decided to step in. In hopes that serving on a substandard ship with a bunch of misfits and inexperienced cadets would scare him back into line, Starfleet promoted Rydell to captain and gave him command of the [[USS Secondprize]]. At least that was the ~~official plan~~. ~~Secretly~~ Admiral [[Hitori Sulu]] saw Rydell as the perfect captain for a ship that he wanted to screw up as much as possible.		Realizing that one of their best officers was on a slide towards anarchy, Starfleet decided to step in. In hopes that serving on a substandard ship with a bunch of misfits and inexperienced cadets would scare him back into line, Starfleet promoted Rydell to captain and gave him command of the [[USS Secondprize]]. At least that's what Rydell assumed was the reason he'd been promoted. Actually Admiral [[Hitori Sulu]] saw Rydell as the perfect captain for a ship that he wanted to screw up as much as possible.


	The plan ~~(well, both plans really)~~ backfired horribly. After a tense first mission dealing with the insane Admiral [[Earl Wyndham]], Rydell settled in. Finding himself in an environment where he could be himself and also let those around him be themselves, Rydell flourished. He gladly accepted the Secondprize's low profile missions in exchange for the opportunity to see the galaxy and have some fun in the process. His lax attitude almost got him in serious trouble when he openly insulted the [[Grand Leech]] of the [[Joegonots]] at an official dinner. Later, after the Joegonots kidnapped [[Dr. Robert Tulson]], who had been one of Rydell's professors at the Academy, the Grand Leech specifically requested that Rydell come to [[Ugilious]] to negotiate for his release. When Lieutenant Commander [[Jaroch]] killed the Grand Leech's future son-in-law, Rydell was betrothed to the Grand Leech's hideous daughter, [[Anemia]]. Rydell managed to escape Anemia's amorous advances, rescue his away team, and get back to the Secondprize. Once there, he blasted the entire world with the [[Transference Ray]] Dr. Tulson had constructed, which turned the entire Joegonot population into human beings. Since the newly human Joegonots requested membership in the Federation, Starfleet decided not to prosecute Rydell for seriously interfering in their culture.

	The following year was busy for Rydell. He was briefly made the Borg King due to a mistake, but he made the most of the experience and actually didn't want to give the position up. The Borg and the Secondprize crew didn't give him any choice. (''[[It's Good To Be King]]'' [TRK]) He ran into [[Karina Durham]] again while helping her recover a prototype [[~~Subspace Generator~~]] stolen from [[Dillon Enterprises]]. The experience turned into a long distance relationship between the couple. (''[[The Next Item Up For Bid]]'' [TRK]) They were reunited a few months later thanks to the maneuverings of Admiral Earl Wyndham, who used Durham as bait to get Rydell involved his Wyndham's efforts to stop Admiral Hitori Sulu's [[Next Federation]]. The Secondprize was lost during the effort, but Rydell, knowing that his crew would be scattered if Starfleet ever found out, swiped an Excelsior-class Next Federation ship and made it a duplicate of the Secondprize. With his new Secondprize, Rydell was able to stop the Next Federation fleet, but Admiral Sulu escaped. Karina Durham's ship was destroy in the crisis, and Rydell asked her to remain with him aboard the Secondprize, which she did. (''[[Reality Breach]]'' [TRK]) Rydell tracked Sulu down on [[Orlagas]] a short time later, and drove the Admiral from the planet and into the waiting brig of the [[USS Explorer]].

Shortly after he and Beck left for the [[Deneria Dry Dock]], Karina was kidnapped by [[Morticent]], who planned to use her as a hostage against Rydell. Rydell also had to contend with and insane Travis Dillon, who blamed Rydell for everything awful that had happened in his life. Rydell was able to convince Dillon to at least help save the universe, but, after Forever initiated the destruction of everything, Rydell himself was forced to leap into the time stream to see if he could stop galactic annihilation. He found himself in a clock shop with an old man who refused to fix the clock labeled Forever. Karina arrived, and the two were able to convince the clock maker to fix the universe. At the same time, they also decided to have a baby. With the universe saved, Rydell and Karina returned to The Suburb. Less than a year later, their daughter Ashley was born.

The Secondprize followed, and Rydell and Dillon beamed down to Old Dominion University to keep an eye on 20th century Alex. During this mission, Rydell found that his mind would occasionally swap places with Alex's. Singer cornered the Rydells and Dillons from both centuries, as well as [[Carl Jaroch]], after a chase through [[Greenbriar Mall]].
