Name: Alexander
Age: Twenty-Seven
Race: Human
Hair Color: Dark Brown
Eye Color: Chocolate
Height: Six Foot; Four Inches
Weight: Two Hundred and thirty five lbs
Occupation: Protectorformer | Convictformer | Smugglercurrent
Personality: Alexander does not present himself as the hardened criminal one might assume him to be. Beneath layers of sarcasm and cynism, dwells a man of charm and intellect capable of engaging almost anyone in conversation. Although a determined man, he possesses a rather exceptional adoration for his own well-being and has no qualms about cutting his losses if it means saving his own skin. Despite this somewhat cowardly trait, Alexander holds firm to his own sense of honor and decorum, which he refuses to compromise (barring any unforeseen circumstance.) Alexander is quick to offer a smile in favor of a sneer and prefers diplomacy (or bluffing) over violent action. A charismatic individual, Alexander at times let's his verbosity run rampant, particularly if he feels the need to stall for time. His easy going nature makes Alexander a difficult man to enrage and even harder to predict. While he has, no doubt, been scarred by his experiences, the charisma laced facade prevents all but the most astute from observing this.
All in all, Alexander employs a certain eccentric charm to all that cross his path.
Appearance: With a muscled frame and a rather wolfish appearance, Alexander is not necessarily displeasing to look upon. Well defined features lend credence to the theory that Alexander could be the proverbial prince in the guise of the pauper. Regardless of this, Alexander is able to mingle within a crowd easily enough and not attract much attention to himself, unless he do desires. While fairly tall, he is hardly a behemoth, though bulky enough to intimidate the untrained, standard individual. His hair is long and unkempt and it is not uncommon to see him adorned with a scraggly goatee. Deep set eyes appear hollowed and dull and make Alexander seem as though he is in need of sleep. Scarred hands and tattooed wrists mark him a convict and no stranger to abuse or manual labor. Rather than explain his sordid past, Alexander often wears gloves and wraps his wrists in bandages.
Skills: Pick Pocketing
Lock Picking
Climbing & Free Running
Hand-to-Hand Combat Proficiency
Knife Fighting & Throwing
Eaves Dropping
Interrogation
Gifted Liar
Swordsmanship
Abilities: Amateur Magician- Sometime during his youth (See History), Alexander began learning the art of sorcery. His lack of formal training prevents him from fastcasting spells as quickly as experienced Althanan mages and he has yet to build a considerable reservoire of power to draw from. Regardless of this his instructions in the basics were quite thorough, with Alexander showing a preferred application of *Evocation spells over other schools of magic. He possesses some basic understanding of Transmutation, as well.
* Evocation-manipulate energy to produce a desired end. [IE. Fireball, Magic Missile, Ice Strike, etc.]
*Known Spells|
**Energy Bolt: Essentially a Magic Missile spell. A missile of arcane energy bursts forth from the caster's fingertips.
Dexterous: (2x Avg human Dex) A lifetime of crime and sticky situations has left Alexander with fast feet and gifted hands. He can bob in and out of a sword slash or pike thrust as he might a knook or an alleyway. His sleight of hand has seen him through a great deal of trouble, allowing him to pick some rather tricky pockets.
Manual Labor: (2x Avg Human Str) Several years as a convict and forced labor has hardened Alexander's body, granting him a fair amount of strength.

Alexander wears black shorts with an orange and red sash over his right leg and bears a large black tattoo on his chest.

Dangerous elements have been added to his attire giving him clusters of spikes under his sash and emerging from his left shoulder.
Field Knife: Overall length: 413mm - 16 1/4"

Width: 44mm - 1.7"
Blade Thickness: 5,5mm - 0.216"

Throwing Knives: (4) Hidden about his person. Steel.
Bastard Sword:Weight: 3lbs

Explanation: an unassuming steel sword.
History: There is a great deal of conjecture and assumption surrounding Alexander's childhood and he's more than happy to keep people in the dark about it-- oftentimes telling outlandish and conflicting tales of his early life. The general consensus seems to be that Alexander had an average, if not slightly charmed life, before his father disappeared. Alexander's mother is believed to be alive and well, given that he references her in the present tense during conversation.
Concrete details of Alexander's past did not surface until his early teens, when he began to seek employment as a sword-for-hire. It is known that he began serving as the personal bodyguard of a wealthy slave trader when he was 15, before a falling out with the woman forced him to seek out work elsewhere. It was as her protector that Alexander earned the occasional mention as an up and comer in the mercenary game. Upon leaving the slave trader's service, Alexander moonlighted as a semi-successful thief and soldier of fortune until his arrest and subsequent conviction; he was eighteen at the time of his incarceration.
Given that a dungeon is hardly the ideal place to come to terms with oneself as an adult, it should come as no surprise that Alexander is rather close lipped about his incarceration. He claims that he learned what magic he knows from a fellow prisoner and that this same man also saved his life in a later altercation. Although shrouded in mystery, there is no doubt that the Alexander presented to the world was born within the prison's walls.
Regardless of what occurred, Alexander emerged from his experience a ghost of the brash and overconfident youth that had strolled in. Time had tempered his patience and served to shape the hardened youth into a far more dangerous tool. His motives largely unclear, Alexander seems intent on enjoying as much of the world while he can.
