Alexander

Zangiev or Alexander in the English Dub. As a small boy, Zangiev was most likely picked up by Volkov to train in Volki Monastery, or he willingly entered the Abbey, thinking, like almost all of the other trainees, that it was simply a place where they formed elite beybladers.

When team BBA visited the Monastery, Volkov chose Zangiev to compete against Takao, to which Zangiev docilely complied. He however knew that he had to win to show how good the Abbey was, not to mention that losing was inacceptable. After almost throwing off Dragoon, Zangiev's beyblade was sent out of the stadium. Volkov congratulated Takao, then destroyed Zangiev's blade by stepping on it and ordered the guards to take him away because he lost his battle. In the original version, Volkov grabbed Zangiev, lifted him into the air and threw him to the guards. Afterwards, Zangiev was put inside a cell. When Kai walked by the next day, he pleaded him to help him out.

Zangiev's launching technique consists of turning around on the spot while holding on to a chain that is attached to a big Beyblade resemblance. After a while, he lets it go and his real beyblade comes out.
