== Biography ==
Aleksandr was born in Tar on the 10th of Cern in 154 CE. He grew up in a manor home in the city where he was educated in business management. As a teen, he showed great interest in the management of public carriages; he'd eventually become the owner of a large carriage service in Fleur servicing the middle and upper class. He purchased a luxury carriage workshop in 174 CE, where he would meet his future wife, Crown Princess Helena Wilem II of Flowers. She contacted him to have a carriage manufactured for her travels within the country and the two immediately connected. He would ask her mother, Empress Guinevere Wilem II, for her hand in marriage which the woman accepted. She believed that her daughter, the future Queen of Fleur, marrying a man of lesser Fleurian nobility would help ease class tension in the nation. The couple was married on the 17th of Hor 174 CE in Wilemberg. For their honeymoon, the couple toured the countryside of the nation, endowing various small villages with great gifts. However, the cost of the ceremony would nearly bankrupt the country with the number of visitors to Wilemberg not meeting expected numbers. 
Growing tensions in the country led to The Winter Revolution, lasting from the 6th of Skjol 174 CE to the 3rd of Bor when Evelyne Olivarden was killed. Helena would remain in Willowview despite her parents' insisting she return to Isgerdia. Aleksandr feared for his life by then and begged his wife to leave with him to Korevna or Vil, but again, she refused. By then she felt tied to the country and its people, desperate to serve them and make peace with the revolutionaries. Their son Alexei Wilem was born on the 2nd of Cern in 175 CE. On the 18th of Vilja 176 CE, Heir Apparent Prince Roscoe Wilem was stabbed to death after peace negotiations with revolutionaries in Wilemberg. Panic ensued throughout the nation. When news reached Helena, she began packing to flee but was interrupted in the early morning of 19th of Vilja by revolutionary forces. They kidnapped her and her infant son Alexei, bringing them to Saltrock prison off the coast of Wilemberg via several roundabout trips. Aleksandr was beaten to near death and imprisoned in Skjol, where the couple lived.
For two years Aleksandr would rot in a prison cell with no news of his wife's condition. He was informed several days after the fact of the murder of the Imperial Family in Isgerdia. It was said that he fell to his knees and cried out, "Mercy! Mercy!". On the 24th of Bor 178 CE, Aleksandr was released from prison and allowed to return to his home at Willowview under house arrest. He would attempt to return to working in order to keep his mind steady, though he found the Fleur he released into had changed. Aleksandr attempted to contact Sofia Wilem, but the letters were intercepted at the border. On the 7th of Olea 179 CE, Aleksandr was dragged from his home in the night alongside several other enemies of the state and executed by firing squad outside of Skjol. His body was dumped in a mass grave nearby.
