Character Information
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.
Most recently, Alec got himself into trouble by publicly stripping three of his fellow Ventrue, a Keeper and two Princes, over their allowance of a self-described "mummy" to exist in Atlanta and Griffin as a "ghoul." He lost his primogen seat, which he'd held for all of 2 months, and who knows what kinds of issues may yet be brewing among his fellow Kings for breaking ranks?

Quotes
- "It behooves me to keep my operation small and mobile..." - Alec, when asked why he has yet to settle down
- "...small and mobile." - Alec, a few minutes later when the conversation turned to how to deal with lupine issues
- Prince McMillan: "Okay, let's go to 'your' command center."
- Alec: "Err, about that..."
- "Raise your standards."
- "The most depressing thing about the Camarilla: sufficient standards often mean being alone."
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 he still hates the places.
- Betrayed his Prince and the Ventrue by publicly airing dirty laundry considering the "ghoul" Ephraim.
- Created a spurious excuse to strip his more accomplished clanmates of status to elevate his own position.
- It didn't.
- Alec is not a Ventrue. He is a perfect Ventrue Infiltraitor. Actual clan is either Toreador or Ravnos.
- Probably Ravnos, the Toreador won't claim him.
- Alec despises paisleys
- Actually, have you ever seen him wear a tie at all?
