Alcatraz is 28 years old in 2023. When he was 8 years old, he almost drowned, and has had a phobia of swimming since then (although he was able to overcome it if he had to). He grew up in a Christian family and went to church religiously until he was 14, but is no longer religious by the time of Crysis 2, instead invoking parody deities such as Flying Spaghetti Monster or Ceiling Cat.
Looks like BIG Al is an atheist with a sense of humor...
