Aloysius Grace

Faceclaim: Ian Somerhalder

## Appearance

Aloysius is on the tall and lean side, standing at 180cm. He sports black hair that depending on the day can be neatly styled or left as an unruly mess, piercing pale blue eyes and fair skin. He is typically found to be dressed in button up, shirts, slacks, and boots or dress shoes. When he is feeling more casual, he can be seen in plain t-shirts and a black leather jacket, accompanied by black jeans and boots. No matter the outfit though, Aloysius will almost always wear a ring that sports his family crest.

## Personality

Aloysius is like any typical Faceless Ones worshipper; tyrannical and zealous when it comes to his gods. Tyranny and zeal aside, he is a man who likes to get things done and is not afraid to get his hands dirty when achieving his goals. He is also a master of manipulation and often uses eloquent speech to subtly persuade people to listen to and follow his will. To gain the trust of those around him, Aloysius presents himself in a charming and friendly manner. Of course, this is purely a means to deceive and hide his true darker nature. He is surprisingly merciful, but this is mainly a ploy to satisfy his sadistic twisted whims in the future.

## Magic

Aloysius is a typical elemental, sporting proficiency with each of the four elements. With 400 years of experience when it comes to using the magic, he is fairly strong and not someone you would want to get on the wrong side of.

## Backstory

Aloysius is the eldest child of three siblings and grew up alongside Solomon Wreath and Scarlette Grudge. At a younger age, he was recruited by the **Church of the Faceless Ones** and adopted their teachings and ideals terrifyingly fast. Despite the now strained relations between him and the rest of his family, he would still visit occasionally, often with his girlfriend of the time Nessa Dawn. Nessa was much like Aloysius in terms of manipulation. She put on a polite front to his mother and Solomon but found his sister Scarlette to be quite detestable and had no qualms with harassing her when they were left alone. On one such occasion of this, Scarlette lost her temper completely at Nessa and lashed out with her still very inexperienced and uncontrollable magic. The result of this was permanent emotional scarring to Nessa and her losing the love and affection she’d had for Aloysius. He of course believed Scarlette had done this purposefully out of pure spite and to hurt him and made a promise that for as long as both of them lived, he would make her life as miserable and hellish as he could.

During the war with Mevolent, due to the faith he held, he was obviously on Mevolent’s side. At one point, he was working under Baron Vengeous and when he heard that Scarlette and her unit had been captured, he’d requested to torture them himself. His request was turned down, but he was still able to convince them to brand his sister with the symbol of the Faceless Ones as a sign of the totally amazing love he has for her. As it was a war, there was obviously going to be conflict and on one such occasion, he found himself face to face with Scarlette. What Scarlette doesn’t know however was the reason this occurred was someone else had tried to attack her from behind and if anyone was going to kill her, Aloysius had already decided it was going to be him. The two of them fought and during the fight he was badly injured, mainly because he underestimated her and thought it’d be an easy fight. However, he took advantage of this injury and faked his own death, the sheer chaos of the fight making it relatively easy to do so.

At the closing of the war, he went into hiding before eventually adopting the fake name of Lorenzo Craft and going into teaching history and the occult. Nowadays, he unofficially resides in Dublin but has decided to make the move to Roarhaven following the Protection of Religion Act. Of course, given his sister’s status in the city, he has been using the same false name to hide who he is and has pulled a few strings to get himself a job at Corrival Academy.
