Sometimes he gets offended if the loss was not equal (for example, at a poker tournament, when he got caught at the same table with Konstantin and lost to him because of the latter's high intelligence).

## Biography

### Childhood

Alexander Bishop was born in the Vologda region, an unnamed town, to a family of poor American immigrants. His father, John Bishop, was a drinker, and his mother hardly took care of the boy because of her difficult condition after childbirth. Alex grew up alone, without support, which made him have a peculiar idea of love and helping each other.

Alexander's mother died when the boy was 7 years old. This event left a big imprint on his later life, gave him the notion that not all people can be bad. Before she died, his mother gave him an instruction for life:

> Believe me, one day you will find those people who will support you and treasure you. Don't be mean to them, Alex, please. I love you very much.
>
>

Alexander remembered this speech from his mother for the rest of his life. However, after his wife died, John beat and abused the boy because of his alcoholism due to depression. This led to Alexander not returning home, wandering the streets. He started drinking and smoking early and made friends with gangsters who also abused him, which made him afraid to be on the street. He wasn't going home.

The father died of cardiac arrest while beating his son again. The boy hid the corpse in the dumpster, and the next day the cats ate it. Seeing this, Alexander imagined that his father hated him even after his death.

The life of the boy, who was already well-known in the area, interested the guardianship authorities. Having decided to ask his parents why Alexander was behaving this way, they found out that the boy had none. This led to Bishop being recaptured in one evening and taken to an orphanage. There he, according to the teachers, "wreaked havoc and showed his true superiority over everyone". The boy listened to no one, constantly arguing with his peers and those who were either older or younger. He was feared by everyone, rules were waived for him, such as not being allowed to walk on his own volition. One such day in December 2014, Alexander, once again sitting outside his house, met Shon Sheldon, who had come to his town at the time because of his father's work. Shon tried to get the boy to talk, as he saw his problems, and Bishop made contact. They chatted for a long time and in the end Sheldon offered his companion to live with him. The boy, who had already understood Sean in the meantime, agreed instantly. A little later, Sheldon's parents agreed to take Alexander in, and even later, they adopted him. That's how the friendship between Shon Sheldon and Alexander Bishop began.
