Age: 23
Appearance:Alfonse wears appearances like clothes- each illusion carefully crafted, each part an express purpose. Manipulating his appearance is as simple as breathing after all these years but doesn't often use it daily, other than to darken his reds eyes to black. Each black hair on his head is kept neatly combed and parts, face shaved clean, nearly always dressed in a suit and tie, and shoes with a mirror like quality. Any deviance from his well groomed standards is almost certainly an illusion.
He accessorizes simply, a watch, ring, and earring on the right ear in either gold or silver depending on his suit. He keeps a pair of half moon reading glasses in his breast pocket. His favorite thing to do while reading reports is to randomly stare at people judgmentally over the rims of his glasses until they start babbling.
Alfonse always makes a point to smile, no matter how upset he is at a situation. His true feelings always surface later in private, generally expressed through some sort of food.
Evil Piece: Queen
Familiar:Narti – A large crow, Narti demands attention and grooming daily. She enjoys perching on her master's shoulder while he reads and tends to stash shiny things she finds in random places for other members of the peerage to find. Alfonse can see through Narti's eyes when she is away from him.
Magic:Shadowmancy: Manipulating the semi-tangible manifestation of shadows, the Corrumpi clan can create and manipulate shadows into a variety of forms ranging from tendrils to shadow fire. The technique is most notably used to infuse this shadow material into spells, altering their form and function in a process called Corruption. Although the spells are undeniably stronger, their original function may cease and the corrupted version costs additional magic.
Mind Delve: A spell requiring constant eye contact, this allows Alfonse to peruse through the thoughts and memories of a subject. The subject seems to fall into a trance while under the spell's effect. Those with stronger magic auras or unusually strong wills can struggle against and even shrug off the magic if they catch it being used,
Forgetful Mind (Corrupt): By infusing shadows into the magic, Alfonse can alter and erase memories of the individual he is reading.
Illusion: Alfonse manipulates the senses of those around him as easily as breathing, Most notably used to alter his appearance to fool those he has Mind Devlved, Alfonse can create and maintain larger illusions with relative ease.
Phatasm(Corrupt): This variation draws the target's greatest fear to the forefront of their mind and subjects them to the resounding horror. Only they perceive the threat and react accordingly.
Barrier: Alfonse can erect a variety of magical barriers, costing more magic the larger they are.
Miasma(Corrupt): Using the newly erected barrier as a focus, the magic circle(s) composing the barrier ooze an inky mist that lulls them into slumber.
Teleport: Alfonse can move himself and other members of the peerage instantaneously.
Shadow Step (Corrupt): Alfonse can step from one shadow to another so long as it is at least his size.
Flight: Alfonse's devil wings allow him to fly when necessary.
Languages: As a Devil, he can speak, read, and understand every language he comes into contact with.
Skills:Diplomacy: Alfonse learned the art of diplomacy,and all the manners and tact involved, from the knee of a member of the royal household of England. He personally prefers the intimate settings of dinner tables and formal parties, where subtly and words sting far more than swords and spells.
Cooking: While attempting to hide from his lessons as a child, Alfonse found the kitchen to be a consistent haven. He grew up watching, and eventually learning from, the chefs in the royal kitchen and continues to hone his skill. Its especially useful as a stress reliever.
Bio:Alfonse was born just as his mother took over as head of the Corrumpi clan. Her father died suddenly at the hand of an overly enthusiastic vampire and while the clan as a whole were shocked, the fallen angels that encouraged the situation sowed the seeds of discord in the resulting vacuum. In order to maintain order, his mother Eleanor passed him down to her Queen, the resurrected member of the British royal household. Eleanor made temporary appearances in his life for the next twelve years but clan business always demanded her attention far too quickly.
When her Queen accepted him as her ward, he followed her around like a duckling. She brought him to her home and raised him like her own, claiming he was a nephew from a relative on the other side of her former marriage. He was taught everything from history to etiquette, maths to literature. Magic was his favorite subject however and he displayed a natural talent for it. His teacher, originally delighted, ruefully acknowledged teaching a seven year old with a predisposition for disappearing from his lessons would have been easier if illusion magic was taught later. He often created duplicates of himself so he could hide away in the kitchen and easy pastries the cooks snuck him.
On his thirteenth birthday, Eleanor returned with the family firmly under her heel and reclaimed guardianship of her son. From there, he refined his Shadowmancy, the family's specialty magic, and mental magics while continuing his education. Eleanor kept him by her side almost constantly, having him take notes and keep watch as she went around the clan business. She polished and perfected his manners and instilled a rigid sense of discipline and responsibility. Over the next decade, Alfonse would learn to regard Eleanor as his superior rather than his mother.
Just before his twentieth birthday, the Corrumpi suffered a staggering loss of members as the fallen angels launched a massive counter attack. With the loss of just less than half the family, Eleanor decided the family needed to fall back into the shadows and hide inside other groups. Eleanor directed most of the family to fade into mortal society fully or disappear within the confines of another devil family until a more appropriate time. So she turned her eyes back to Devil society in search of another noble family. She succeeded in finding and seducing a suitable target but got caught up in her own game and fell for the man instead. Alfonse had a suspicion the man she chose was fully aware of her objective but seeing that it completed the objective, he chose not to interfere.
With the merging of the two families, Alfonse was given to Alice as part of the arraignment. His mother commanded him serve, support, and, behind closed doors, evaluate Alice and her methods with the intent to report upon their return.
