Lord William MacLeish Alexander, 1st Baron Grantville, was a Manticoran citizen, Peer of the Ream and Prime Minister.

Lord William was a member of the Alexander family that also ran the Earldom of White Haven. He had an older brother, Hamish Alexander, and served as Lord of Exchequer for the Cromarty government.

In 1900 PD, he went to White Haven to talk with his brother about Commander Honor Harrington's actions at Medusa. He was concerned about the political maneuvering that is going on about the Royal Manticoran Navy. (HH1)
