The town was constantly besieged by minor undead and other supernatural threats and it was up to the church to protect the town. The church ran an orphanage and when a child became a part of the church they would begin the child in some basic education until they got adopted, but that was rare. Usually the church was forced to raise the child into a practitioner of the church. There are several paths a child in the churches care can take, but by far the least popular and the most dangerous is that of an exorcist. Still, as Alexander was raised it became clear that he was unfit for any of the other branch of the church. They were reluctant, waiting until they were absolutely what the almighty wanted, but eventually they started him in training as an exorcist. An exorcist is a warrior-magi who relies on Divine magic inherent in religion and is bound to fight the evils of the land. Most don't survive vary long, so it is important to train a new crop every year. This particulate branch of the church feels that calling it 'magic' was an affront to their deity, but that is what it was and everyone knew it. Many exorcists learn to specialize in a single type of spell, which they use to fight the evil that the church commanded. Alexander was instantly enthralled with the battle aspect of his new line of work, and he became adept at sword-craft. Young exorcists are at one point in their training allowed to meditate on a single tome before they begin their final test. Alexander chose an obscure text on the holy warriors of the church from which he learned the avatar fighting stile. As an avatar the mage takes on the aspect of a powerful being, and wielding this might fighting in the name of that being. It was amazing how quickly he was able to learn this powerful magic, and when he practiced it during his test the counsel was blown away. Of course at the time he could only call upon a lowly spirit, but still it was the spirit of a powerful exorcist and he was able to blow away the undead he was being tested with. Slowly his skill grew, until at the age of 13 he was able to take on the spirit of the hero of the exorcists, the first of the exorcists to become a part of the order after the patron saint and founder! Still his skill grew, until the order realized that he was waited on the low-level evil that their little Podunk town had. They decided that they should send him to the Order of the Hunters, so that he may do battle with the greatest evil scourges of the land. Still, they bided their time, and only once he reached the age of 15 did they tell him of their planes. It took a year of time to get the entire thing in order, and now he has been with the Hunters for several months.
