## Relationships

### Bonnie Bennett

"*I love you, mom.*"
—Aleksander to Bonnie

*Main Article: Bonnie and Aleksander*

Aleksander is Bonnie's only son and the oldest of her twin children. Bonnie was very surprised when she discovered that she was pregnant but she was also very excited. When she found out that she was having twins, she was overwhelmed as she didn't think that she could handle that. She became even more overwhelmed after Kol became incapacitated as she didn't want to raise her children without a father. Bonnie raised Ace to be a very respectful and compassionate person, though he still exhibited some negative traits, such as vengeance. Bonnie and her son have a very close relationship and spend a lot of time together. Bonnie has taught Ace many spells as he was growing up and still continues to teach him new things about magic as a teenager. He is very protective of his mother and is willing to do whatever to keep her safe.

### Kol Mikaelson

"*You're a better father than you think. Cut yourself some slack.*"
—Aleksander to Kol

*Main Article: Kol and Aleksander*

Kol is Aleksander's father. He was conceived while Kol was inhabiting Kaleb Westphall's body and as a result inherited his magical abilities from both parents. Kol was not able to be there for his birth and did not meet him until he was 4 years old due to Kol and his siblings being incapacitated. When Kol finally meets Aleksander, he was very excited to have a child as he thought it was no longer possible for him. The two spend a lot of time together and have developed a very close bond. Aleksander frequently seeks advice from his father about many things, including magic and girls. Kol enjoys teaching him about magic and other supernaturals, as well as teaching him how to fight hand to hand combat. Kol has even remarked that Ace is as talented with magic as he was when he was human. Though Ace is more like his mother, he does exhibit some traits similar to his father, such as having a bad temper. Like his father, Ace is prone to seeking revenge from those who have wronged him.

### Abigail Mikaelson-Bennett

"*You're only 10 minutes older. Don't get too excited.*"
—Abigail to Aleksander

*Main Article: Aleksander and Abigail*

Abigail is Ace's younger twin sister and one of his best friends. Though they are very different in regards to their interests and hobbies, the twins are very close with one another and tell each other everything. Abigail is more like their father than Ace is and so she is more explosive and unpredictable than her brother. She is prone to anger and lashing out with her magic whenever she gets upset with her brother being one of the only people to calm her down. Abigail and Ace like spending time together and often practice magic together whenever they get the chance. Ace is very protective of his younger sister and makes it a point that everyone knows who she is and knows that he will retaliate if anyone ever does anything to harm her. This sometimes causes the twins to argue due to Ace not being that much older and Abigail's insistence that she can take care of herself. Despite this, they both work hard to keep the other safe.
