Character

• • Construction Zone, please excuse our mess**

General

Alexander Stormwind is a man of means, power, and prestige and he wants everyone to know it. Though he is officially listed as a refugee, Alexander does not concern himself with the plight of those who he supposedly arrived with and cares not for the people. To him, people are tools to be used until they are of no more use to him. Not surprisingly, his wealth has earned him a comfortable and private living in the city of Ul'dah, something he has used to great effect as he spends countless hours in his home researching and studying.

His associate (and rumored more) Rhianna Oruissi is his companion, providing research support as well as managing the day-to-day affairs of their home. She is also generally the only one who can keep Alexander otherwise in line, and considers it her duty to the rest of the world to keep the man in check.

Appearance

Alexander looks every bit a man in his 50's. Whitening and grey streaks color his black hair and visible lines are starting to appear on his face, adding to his already dour appearance. The corners of his mouth show visible signs of constant anger and distress, as to the increasingly deep divots in his skin where his eyebrows meet, indicating a regularly sour disposition. His face is extremely pale, likely from his endless, sunless, hours toiling away in his laboratory or study.

His eyes are a dark violet, though upon closer inspection one would likely notice that the left eye does not act and twitch like a real one, because it is not. The left eye is a glass fake, and though offers to upgrade it or replace it have been offered, Alexander often simply replies with a curt "No." and ends the discussion.

Alexander dresses in robes and garments which help maintain his wealth and power. A student of the Allagan Empire and the aether, much of his clothing is custom made to include ways which will enhance his own aetheric abilities.

Despite all his pomp and bluster though, Alexander is still getting on in his age and that age is starting to catch up with him. He is always seen with one ornate staff or another which serve as both a focus point as well as a walking stick. He will often have to lean against this staff for support after long periods of standing or use it to support him while taking long walks.

Personality

Alexander is a misanthrope and meglomaniac. Ask anyone who knows Alexander and they'll all tell you the same thing, he is an angry and compulsive individual who would rather incinerate the focus of his ire more then anything else. Alexander's quest for ever increasing power, mostly aetherial, leaves his little time for frivolities and even when he is out he is constantly working, either reading over his research notes or settling accounts with one of his many contacts who bring him research material, either legitimate or otherwise.

While he mostly believes everyone to be beneath him, he does on occasion deign to speak to others, especially those who consider themselves researchers of the allagans or the aether. Alexander enjoys scholarly discussions, and while you would never get him to admit that he is wrong about a topic, he will consider it once he leaves your presence.

For all his faults, Alexander does generally listen to Rhianna, even when it counteracts his own desires. He is also extremely protective and possessive of her, often refusing her time to herself if he is in the middle of a long research session. For all that, after all these years, Alexander would be lost without Rhianna. She is a rare mental equal to himself, and he is loathe to give that up to anyone or anything.
