[color=cyan]Magic:[/color] Whilst he's completely unaware of what magic is truly capable of or how it takes hold in people - the day will eventually come where his own magical capabilities manifest to make him a daunting stalker of his prey - his footsteps and breathing, indeed all audible sounds that usually emanate from a living being seem to cease - even his hearth beat and pulse, his very presence seems to dissolve from reality, unless he made a sudden move or action you'd never think he was there - perfect for a hunter.

[color=cyan]Strengths: [/color]

[list]
[*]Peerless Tracker: Years of experience hunting the local wildlife and the teachings from his father has granted Alex the capability to track both person and animal alike, it won't take much to translate this skill into the tracking of demons however.
[*]Artisan: Has a wide array of crafting skills in regards to wood work and is quite capable to jury-rig some sort of useful tool out of whatever materials are on hand.
[*]Relentless Hunter: Long nights of tracking and hunting that have spanned over years with his father has allowed Alex to go that bit further when supplies run out - he can keep a steady pace over excessively long distances with little need to rest.

[color=cyan]Weaknesses:[/color]

[list]
[*]Shattered World View: Magic and demons were things of fantasy to Alex, anyone who actually believed in that nonsense was a lunatic in his mind, regardless of whatever strange or fantastical event happened in the world there was [B]always[/b] a rational explanation for it.
The impact of how wrong he was when the time came was stark- he's not entirely sure what's real anymore and has become increasingly cynical because of it.
[*]Solitary: Alex has never been one for socialising or making friends, he's comfortable with silence and enjoys being alone with his thoughts - of course he won't be rude, if someone starts talking to him then he will make friendly conversation, but in the end it's his alone time that he seeks.
Needless to say, this can make him difficult in situations that require team work, especially if he's the one who has to lead, he was designed to follow orders or his own path - not lead it for others.
[*]Budding Sadist: Alex is fighting a losing fight within his own mind - he hunts because he has to, the meat and pelts provide for the family in terms of food and money, but he enjoys it - of course that could be said that there's nothing innately wrong with that, hunting after all is regarded as a sport for some people.
Unfortunately, Alex doesn't relish the kill rather he's beginning to find that he enjoys spectating the beasts final moments in this world before he ends their suffering.
He knows this is not right, he knows that this is not something he should enjoy - but there's something intoxicating about that feeling, Alex hopes that this new life he's about to lead won't lead to this feeling he gets to develop.

[color=cyan]Fears:[/color]

[list]
[*]Enclosed spaces
[*]When the hunter becomes the hunted - ironically he can't stand being subject to another being stalking him for once, typically that means he's failed as a tracker and hunter.
[*]Land Locked - He likes his feet placed firmly on solid ground preferably at all times - tall buildings, bridges, flying, swimming, sailing etc.
[*]Failure - When he was growing up, failure carried a hefty price, especially when he was on the hunt - the fear of failing an incurring the wrath of a person that is no longer there to inflict still haunts him.
[*]Himself - Alex is afraid of what he may become.[/list]

[color=cyan]Personality:[/color] Alex is quite reclusive, he enjoys his own personal space and time and spends far too much of that time lost in his own thoughts, by nature he is inquisitive but rarely actual asks out-loud about the thought going on in his head.
That being said it's not impossible, or indeed difficult for him to form a connection with someone, but it's frail and requires a lot of work from the both parties for it to stay strong - it would not mean a lot if he started making friends with someone and then just stopped talking to them, and vice versa - if it breaks down on the other side, then chances are Alex will not make the attempt to try and fix it on his side.
He's quiet, Alex always speaks softly and only in extreme circumstances would he raise his voice, it's reasonable to assume that Alex is unable to be angry or loud after getting to know him, it simply doesn't seem to fit with his nature or his way of talking.
On rare occasions however, there are people who catch Alex's interest, and these standards are subverted. Alex acts completely different to people he's personally taken a shine to - the difference is so stark that one would think that it's a completely different person, admittedly this happens rarely but of the few friends Alex has accumulated throughout his life they've all been people that Alex has been interested in, in a sense it's quite an honour to see this side of him, because you can guarantee one thing if you ever see that side of him; he will always be there for you.

[color=cyan]Backstory:[/color] Alex has lived a difficult life so far, his home town is located within the Lake district of England a large expanse of hills, lakes, forests and farmland, it's a prime place to hunt wildlife and of course, to poach. And that is exactly what Alex's father did, whilst his mother was a GP at the local doctors.
Between the pair of them they made a enough money to live very comfortably in what was really a isolated town that took a few hours drive to the nearest city.
Alexander spent most of his youth traipsing around the countryside with his father, a task that was laborious at first but quickly grew on him, it wasn't long before he spent most of his time outdoors just exploring the local countryside and getting familiar with landmarks so he always knew where he was, and if needs be created his own markers to help guide himself.
Alex's father was a strong influence on him, but their relationship was more of an apprentice/master relationship than it was a father/son one, it was frosty at the best of times as well, Alex barely kept up with the expectations his father had of him, this relationship forged Alex into the person he is today.

Unfortunately Alex's mother was rarely around to break into the life that he was going through, she was engrossed in her work, and rarely had time for... trivial matters.
School had become a break for Alex, which was the opposite for everyone else - to him it was a break from what he went through every day, and as a result he excelled at practically every aspect of academia, which in turn resulted in his admission to the School of Death, his skills as a hunter on top of his academic achievements made him a prime candidate, but of course this came with it many problems on his home front.
As of now, Alex is disowned and in a way, this new school acted as a completely new life and a fresh start for him, despite being thrust into a mysterious and dangerous world he was eager to try and change some aspects of himself that he had grown to hate.
