He wears no armor and is slight at 5’11” and 145 pounds and thus resembles the stereotype view of a wizard more closely than he might admit. At 36 years of age (another thing that he might not admit, especially since he could pass as being younger), Alexander’s short, straight black hair is starting to be tinged with streaks of gray and is thinning. His skin is a light brownish hue, darkened by years in the sun, and his hands are callused from labor. His eyes are two different colors- his left eye is blue and the other eye is green. As a child both of his eyes were hazel, but at age 13 they shifted to their present state. He tries to stay clean-shaven, but often ends up with a noticeable beard by the end of each day.

The death of his father, Charles, a captain in Cormyr’s army (he was killed during the war against the Tuigan mongols) left him cynical about his purpose in life and determined to not join the army and march to his death.

She is not extremely wealthy, but definitely well to do for a woman on her own. She managed to deal with her husband’s death far better than Alex did his father’s. Alex could not stand abiding in the same place where his father was killed; his mother saw this and advised him to leave Cormyr to clear his mind and try to find some focus for his life. Alex saw her wisdom and agreed; even though he did not know how it would help him, he knew that his mother was thinking of his interests at a time when he could not.

The elf informed the somewhat shocked young man that among elves, even a child knows not to shoot an eagle during this time of year- since it was the mating season for eagles, one should hunt hawks if one wants to be able to hunt eagles the next year.

If asked why he sings, Alex would probably respond with something like “Alas to those who do not sing, for they die with all their music in them.” During his free time, Alex enjoys writing poetry and poring over every sort of book. He keeps with him a book on the history of the Realms and the traditions of its peoples as well as a book on games of strategy (another favorite pastime of his). His favorite food (and something that he tries to have wherever he goes) is a rich chocolate dessert.
