Character Information
Known History
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, 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 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 has in the last couple of months taken on the role of Deputy Sheriff as well as enlisting in the newly formed Ivory Legion.

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 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.
- Alec is not a Ventrue. He is an infiltrator. 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?
- Alec was allegedly involved in the disappearance of one of his Georgia clanmates. Was destroying the standing of the local Ventrue not enough?
