He made deals in order to benefit himself, hardly caring what he had to do. Quick to anger and quick to fire, Lysander could have been described as a shark in his mentality. His public image meant everything to him, as he attempted to be seen by all as an elite member of society. However, he was also fiercely protective of his family--mostly because any damage done to them would hurt his own reputation. Self centered to the core, he didn't pay attention to morality. As this caused his marriage to crumble, by the time his wife left him and his daughter narrowly avoided prison, Lysander reevaluated life, and changed. He found comfort and answers in his faith, causing him to become more understanding of other people. Now, Lysander has empathy for others--even if he continues to judge those he deems lower than him. He is genuinely trying to do his best, as well as protect the only family he still has. Even stronger in his own convictions now, Lysander is likely to think very little of those who disagree with him, but he won't say so openly. Instead, he tries desperately to get everyone to come around to his point of view. Rather than being amoral, Lysander has become self righteous.

They were rather poor, but were fortunate enough to be able to come up with the money to move to Altsoba, Washington. His father worked on the Jefferson farm as a stable hand, and his mother worked as a secretary in city hall. Growing up in a town where everyone knew everyone, Lysander quickly grew bored, dreaming of something bigger. On a field trip to Seattle, he was awed by the riches he thought were being made at Pike's Place, and quickly decided he wanted to become a rich businessman. Attending Stanford University, his dreams were soon made, as he grew a fortune in being a licensed shipping label printer for the US government. And while the work wasn't the most glamorous, it allowed him to achieve his dreams. Through his work at the company, another CEO named Laura Kingston caught his eye. She was from Kansas, and after some negotiation with the board, Lysander left California and moved in with Laura in Kansas. The two of them lived in Topeka, and after dating for five years, their only child, Vivian, was born. She was named after Laura's mother, a strong woman who lived in London during the London Blitz. The two of them were married after Vivian was born out of necessity--neither of their careers would have fared well with a child born out of wedlock. Their daughter was left with the nanny, and as she grew older, she became more troublesome. Lysander and Laura spent hours fighting over how to deal with her, watching as their daughter spun more and more out of control. They hoped that college would set her straight--and instead, it seemed to push her farther. Using their fortunes, they managed to help Vivian avoid prison, but the damage done to their marriage was too late. They told no one, but Lysander began sleeping in the guest bedroom, and eventually, in his own apartment. Within a year, the two had divorced. [b][color=#3366ff]Life Leading Up To the Apocalypse // What Brings You to Altsoba[/color][/b] The divorce forced Lysander to reevaluate what he held important in his life, and he found comfort in religion. The Calvinist idea of predestination appealed to him especially, and he went to Divinity School, earning his masters in divinity. The church just ten minutes from his hometown was his first assignment. Enjoying getting back to his roots and having his daughter nearby, Lysander began to piece his life back together through his faith. He hopes that eventually, he'll be able to save his daughter. When the apocalypse rumors began, Lysander knew that he would have to stay in Altsoba. He couldn't change what would happen--but he could help save as many souls as he could. He wasn't going to abandon his friends or even strangers. To Lysander, he had the ability to make an impact in a dark time, and that was important enough. The world was going to end--but he didn't have to let these people go to hell. In his mind, he could save them by showing them the love and compassion of faith.
