Alex Hoffman

Alex Hoffman is a gun shop owner who lives on planet Avienta and a side character in Sarigsta: Triov. The protagonists Andrei Petrov and Quackers come to him to buy weapons, ammo, grenades and other supplies.

Background
Alex Hoffman was an American volunteer soldier who participated in the Triov-led expedition to the Sargist galaxy, who defended the Soyuz Research Station, staffed with fifty scientists, during the Sargist attack above Avienta. Afterwards he was left stranded on the planet for years, by which time he no longer saw a point in fighting anymore.

He eventually had to make a living with the survivors, including the estranged Sargists from Pypot, whom he had grown to tolerate or even admire. It even got to a point where he fell in love with a female Avian, a snowy owl aged 38 (about 29 by avian years), and they got married.

Items
In his shop he primarily creates and sells old-fashioned weaponry such as muskets, rifles and pistols, and ammunition for each. He also sells explosives, medical kits, traps, survival equipment and rations.
