Character History:- Born in Varrock to a whore he spent the first few years of his life in a brothel. In his early childhood he was sold into servitude. Despite his mothers protests, the young boy didn’t object much. Although she said did as much as she could to protect him, he knew he was better off somewhere else. He was a pretty boy, and they didn’t last long in establishments like the dancing donkey. Being a slave wasn’t bad. He was a servant of a high lord, received a modest education, and was given the opportunity to be a kid when he wasn’t working. He was practically a page, and maybe if he impressed people enough with his work ethic, piety, and loyalty, he would become a squire. At least, that was his ambition. The lord had a son, Grimaldo, and a daughter, Nina. Grimaldo was a year Alexi’s senior and took a modest interest in a servant his own age. Nina was a year Alexi’s junior, but shy and melancholic. Alexi and she would often share unspoken conversations as her older brother made his decrees. It was one of these decrees that lead them all out of the city. They had a wonderful time in the forest. They had snuck out so they could be free of their father's oppressive guard. They had picked apples, napped under the shade of evergreens, and the two boys had tried their best to hunt deer while Nina loudly protested the entire time. The three of them had done this for years, all without harm coming to them. It seemed like their innocence shielded them from the evils that lurk outside city walls.
It is not unusual for bandits to hide in the forest. Many of these groups that the common folk refers to as ‘bandits’ were simply poachers, hiding their trade from the king. But these men were not poachers. They were Revolutionaries. Trotskyists. Hero’s. They fought for the common man against the oppressive nobility of the north. Usually, if lordlings were taken captive by bandits, they were sold back at a ransom. But not this time.
A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others.
