Known History

Not much is known about Alec. He was in the Griffin domain in its earliest nights, but disappeared soon after. He has since been seen in Savannah, Athens, and Atlanta. 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 the nature of information as the greatest weapon on tonight's battlefield. 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 the basics of his field to those that will listen.

More recently, Alex has taken a more active role. He has been seen at several gathers across different Georgia domains, networking and evangelizing risk prioritization and the value of Camarilla prestation. He is not afraid to get his hands dirty, as he's been in direct engagements involving both the Daeva threat at the Sabbat. He still avoids vulgar conversation, and will steer topics back to something he feels to be more appropriate or on topic when he can.

  • But moreso because he was an orphan as a child, and he still hates the places.
