it is possible that Alexander the great was a righteous, monotheist and a just king.

Alexander's romance did witness transformations over time, but one of the main elements the recurr in its different editions (whether syriac, ethopic etc.) describe this macedonian king as person of righteoueness, a monotheist who sought God's closeness, and a saintly figure who was aided with Divine help, and whose concern was to bring peace, justice, and prosperity to those whom he conquered.
