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, 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 an 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.

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.
- 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?
