Born to a military family who were mainly faithful to Vel Anir, Alexander was conscripted for the military straight away due to his lineage, being trained and exposed to combat at a very young age. He wasn't expected to live very long in his young years in the expectation that his raw magic talent would end up being the death of him, but despite all the odds and nearly going into a fit one time as a child, he managed to live past the age of three. His parents thought something was wrong with him when he couldn't speak around the age of six, as children tended to learn or put together words a lot earlier. A few months had flown by and Alexander said certain words very clearly and concisely, to which the parents learned early on that he's an eccentric boy, it's not that he couldn't speak but he simply chose not to.

Over the years as his usage of magic had been trained and refined, learning how to properly channel it, his mother had showed concern of her son's future as she grown some form of regret at this point, wishing that his son could grow up in a more normal environment instead of being groomed up to become a emotionless, living weapon for Vel Anir. When Alexander was around the age of nine, his mother had finally stepped in as the last straw for her was the fact that Alexander seemed to be unphased by bloodshed or lives being taken right in-front of him, he tried to escape Vel Anir with him but instead, she got held back and told Alexander to simply run away as far as possible.

To which he did, with a lack of proper education, social norms and only being trained on how to defend himself, Alexander had lived in the wilderness and through the many years of living through nature, he had garnered a bit of a reputation from the outside world as the "Masked Hermit" as while Alexander survives in the wilderness, he occasionally comes across people. especially those in distress and tends to leave quite an impression to those he saves.

At one point, someone he had saved suggested that he should try to join the College of Elbion, a place that freely accepts magic and would train him in the proper usage of it. The idea of it was almost flushed out without a second thought as Alex only saw it as another Vel Anir situation, but a bit of consideration and reflecting on how long he's been in the wilderness made him reconsider his decision. He would entertain the idea at least, but he wasn't exactly driven on it and the instant he didn't like something, he planned to move away from Elbion.

With that in mind, he moved to Elbion, looking for a way to somehow join the College.
