Character Information

Known History

Strategize. Operationalize. Analyze. Lather, Rinse, Repeat.

Little is known of Alec. He was in Griffin in its first nights as a Camarilla domain, but disappeared soon after. He has since been seen in Savannah, Athens, Atlanta, and Middle Georgia. He generally keeps a low profile, but excuses himself from conversations that turn rude or weird.

Topics of conversation that interest Alec include oddly specific stories of past business dealings (as specific as they can be when all parties are referred to with pronouns), discussion of the (legal) global arms trade, and information as a weapon. He presents himself as a strict rationalist, with the survival of the Kindred race as his first and guiding principle. In several public conversations/debates, Alec has spoken at length about the problems of limited resources and of marshaling them towards ends that will get the most return for one's investment, even as he plays down his stake in financial matters and markets. Instead, he speaks of it "from a security perspective," gladly explaining his field to those who listen.

Alec strongly advocates prestation and the use of boons to settle debts in Camarilla society. He has spoken at gathers in Macon, Athens, and Atlanta about what he sees as pillars of the Camarilla, coming down harshly on those he believes weaken the boon economy. Alec has taken his points national, writing on the necessity of Kindred getting paid to fight off a growing movement of citizens volunteering services "for the good of the domain."

Most recently, Alec got himself into trouble by publicly stripping three of his fellow Ventrue (a Keeper, a Prince, and a Sovereign Prince) over their allowance of a self-described "mummy" to exist in Atlanta and Griffin as a "ghoul." He lost his primogen seat, but took on the role of Deputy Sheriff and enlisted in the Ivory Legion.

While others continue to be mired in scandal and inability to look forward, Alec has redoubled his efforts to protect the Masquerade not only by addressing issues himself, but also by putting his expertise on the market. He has made public offers to instruct Camarilla Kindred in skills commonly needed to address these kinds of situations, including his clan disciplines. There is no need for a one-man war. If all Kindred bear responsibility for keeping the Masquerade, Alec is determined to see to it that they have the right tools...and no excuses.

When the Mummy Ephraim resurfaced in Middle Georgia on the night of December 1, 2017, Alec sounded the alarm to anyone and everyone that would hear. Ephraim was subdued by the Scourge, and Alec soon after accepted his clan's primogen seat in Middle Georgia. His tactical mind serves the domain well as he continues to lead combat missions and bring a singular focus to conversations and issues with the domain. His effectiveness and dedication to the Camarilla were noted on June 18, 2018 when Archon Rachel Dubhan named him her servire while both were visiting Atlanta.

Quotes

Synergy!
  • "Someone else picked it out for me." - Alec, to Petra Grunwald-Cole when asked about his new lapel pin.
  • "Raise your standards."
  • "My name is Alec Finch. I'm Ivory Legion, and the Prince has seen fit to give me command of this mission. You will follow my orders. You will not hesitate to do so. We will march together to hell's teeth itself, and if you run, I will get Right of Destruction and cut you down myself. Do you understand me?"
  • "To Camarilla justice. Long may it reign." - a toast with Cora Giovanni.
  • "I'm not afraid to speak truth to power. There is no greater form of respect."

Rumors

  • An affair turned foul is the cause of his departure from each domain he has left.
    • (Ventrue only) Hence that shiny new Serpentine Egg?
  • Alec Finch would steal from an orphanage if it would get him a quick buck.
    • But moreso because he was an orphan as a child, and still hates the places.
  • Betrayed his Prince and the Ventrue by publicly airing dirty laundry considering the "ghoul" Ephraim.
    • Just an excuse to strip his more accomplished clanmates of status to elevate his own position.
      • Of all the Archons around to be servire to, why would the Ventrue go with a Toreador with a long history of antagonism towards his clan? Hmm...


  • Alec despises paisleys.
    • Actually, have you ever seen him wear a tie at all?
      • He wore a dapper green one when he took his seat on the Middle Georgia Primogen Council.
        • And another striking green one when he was named Servire to Archon Rachel Dubhan.
  • Alec was allegedly involved in the disappearance of one of his Georgia clanmates. Was destroying the standing of the local Ventrue not enough?
