Synopsis
Quiet and aloof, Alexander has spent the few 30 years of his unlife trying to retain his ideals of duty and honor as a member of the Sabbat and in the world after the Gehenna.


Description
An average looking man appearing in his mind 20's, standing around 5'8" with brown hair cut in military fashion and emerald green eyes, Alexander, with his muscular build, strikes the figure of a soldier.  With his sword worn openly upon his back, now that Gehenna has thrown social norms out the window, he more resembles a wandering swordsman of old.


Personality

Quiet and aloof, Alexander, despite his years of service in the Sabbat is a rather neutral individual.  Following the path of Honorable Accord, he tries to strike balance between his vampiric tendencies and what remains of his human soul, though he is unlikely to be considered truly humane by those that meet him.  Honor and duty are what kept him sane through his years among the monstrous kindred of the Sabbat, but in Gehenna's aftermath, the Sabbat is no more and he wanders the remnants of the US looking for his path.

History

Part of the baby boomer generation born after the end of World War 2, Alexander came of age at the height of the Vietnam War and found himself drafted into the army.  Serving two tours in the war as an army ranger, he was wounded in battle and discharged from the service in 1971, two years before the end of US involvement in the war.  Finding himself in the wrong place at the wrong time during a failed Sabbat Crusade against Chicago in 1976, Alexander became part of a mass embracing by the Sabbat vampires involved.  Barely woken and out of the grave he was buried in with numerous other young men and women, the Sabbat gave him and his "class" a crash course in their new plight in the world, crude melee weapons and sent into the slums of Chicago to wreak havoc, draw out and destory any Camarilla kindred they could.  Alexander only managed to survive the Crusade, one of the lucky few he was embraced with, due to developing Fortitude, Obfuscate, and Auspex from his embrace.  His career among the Sabbat before Gehenna saw the sect tear itself appart took him from lucky shovel head, to trusted pack member, to at the height of his advancement, Templar in the service of a Lasombra Archbishop.  As Gehenna unfolded, Alexander had been discharged from his duties as a Templar and was once again serving in a Sabbat pack, this one south of the border in Mexico.  He and only one other member of his pack survived the ensuing events, and when it became apparent the Sabbat was no more, he parted ways with the individual to find his own way in the new world, a shadow of the old.
