## Backstory

**Alexander was born in the Monarchy of Lyria and also in the Capital of Lyria, he spent most of his childhood following the ways of his parents and learning about them.**

**His mother, Ava von Bargen was a potion merchant which he learned all his past experience from. Alex always spent time at his mother’s lab, looking at her notes and her already made potions. In fact he sometimes tried some but his mother specialized in potions for humans, which had mostly no effect. Him and his mother also used each other during his time living with her to feast at each other’s blood and keep their vampiric strength.**

**His father, Jacob von Bargen was absent for his whole life , he only knew of his father from stories he heard from his mother and her past experiences with him. Mostly known about his father is that he had a tavern in Lyria years before Alexander’s birth. By his mother’s words, he knows that his father disappeared because he had unfinished business with a vampire who showed threat to Alexander and Ava. Both of his parents were true higher vampires, causing him to be an offspring of a full high vampire.**

**Alexander spent the vast majority of his life when growing up ,living with his mother, he spent around 300 years with her in Lyria. Throughout those many years he aspired to follow in his mother’s path of mastering potions, he spent each and every night in her laboratory learning how to make and develop new potions.**

**The days in his earlier life , Alexander spent fighting in the rings of Lyria. He was actually a reigning champion in the underground illegal fighting rings and it made it easy for him to make lots of money for him and his mother due to his vampiric strength. As a champion people called him “Boulderclaw Alex” due to his strong punches. His championship meant he was challenged to a fight at least everyday causing him to be quite busy in order to develop any other hobbies besides learning potions in his somewhat free time.**

**At one of his hardest fights against a champion from a foreign land he was getting defeated badly where he almost lost his championship. At the losing fight Alexander was forced to land a blow with his claws in his vampiric form, slicing the other fighter to half and winning the fight. However, the fight was being watched by thousands of people in the rings and the word quickly spread of Alexander being a murderer.**

**After Alexander got a bad reputation in Lyria, he got the title of “The Cruel Murderer” because of his fight. Sketches and pictures of him were posted everywhere and he was banished from any store, any form of entertainment and every single soul in Lyria refused to speak to him, every soul besides his mother. He sent goodbye to his mother last time and packed a bunch of supplies before departing to Toussaint and away.**

**In his arrival to Toussaint he spent the majority of his first months making potions and gathering ingredients and selling them. Once his business started kicking off he began making so many crowns that he managed to afford himself and buy a shop at Beauclair’s main square, in fact the shop was so big that he also lived at it’s top floor.**

**Alex spent the next half of his life in that same shop in Beauclair , making and developing new potions then selling them at days and at night he would venture out to find the ingredients he needed to experiment with. His main blood feasting is rather on monsters when he ventures out as he had already learned to live with humans. Alex also would research day and night , trying to learn the most he can out of his profession. He mostly made human fitting potions due to what his mother taught him but always had interest in Witcher potions. His shop would thrive with customers each and every day letting him safely hide his vampiric form under the form of a potion-making scientist and merchant.**
