***Quote:***

**“Duh. I may specialize in ghosts, but I don’t just talk the talk, kid.”** *-Alessandro to Dobrev and Achille in Chapter 14*

**Alessandro Alemagna IV** is a minor character from the novel *DOBREV*. He is a paranormal expert specializing in ghosts and a friend of Achille Descoteaux's who aids Dobrev and him in their pursuit to get rid of Lila's attachment to Achille.

### Early Life

Alessandro is the fourth Alessandro Alemagna in his family. At some point he became interested in ghosts and other paranormal subjects, gaining knowledge about them over time and eventually becoming an expert. Although not a clairvoyant, Alessandro is well-versed in ghosts and spiritual possession.

### Appearance

Alessandro is described as an attractive thirty-something Italian man with a punk style. He has many tattoos (some with skulls) on his arms and neck, three nose piercings, and is said to have a very toned body; his hair is dark brown and styled in a low bun.

**"Everly couldn’t respond, mouth hanging open in astonishment only teenage girls could understand. Dobrev looked out the window and finally noticed the car that had driven up, as well as the person who stepped out. A very muscular, very Italian man in his early thirties emerged, colorful tattoos sneaking out from underneath his scarf and complimenting the stylish manbun tied at the nape of his neck."** *-Alessandro's introduction in Chapter 14*

### Personality

Alessandro has a laid-back personality; he usually speaks in a casual tone, but becomes more serious when discussing ghostly matters. Dobrev Reign states that he immediately felt comfortable around Alessandro upon first meeting him, the older man having a confident, cool aura, much like Achille Descoteaux. Alessandro is also very intelligent, being an expert in the paranormal field who aids Achille numerous times. He never appears stressed and gives optimistic responses to calm Dobrev down when he becomes worried about Lila.

When Everly Reign yells goodbye and waves at Alessandro dramatically, he good-naturedly smiles and waves back to her.

### Relationships

**Achille Descoteaux**

**“That must be him,” Achille noted with ghoulish respect. “Dude’s got a killer vibe. I’ve got a good feeling about this already!”** *-Achille upon seeing Alessandro for the first time in Chapter 14*

Alessandro and Achille first met via the Internet, when the latter needed help dealing with the malevolent spirit Hagar Bennett. Alessandro talked him through the process, helping break the attachment from Dobrev Reign. Later, Achille comes to him again with hopes that he can give them advice on how to deal with Lila, who they believed to be a ghost, but was later revealed to be a succubus by Alessandro. Dobrev describes Alessandro as being an older version of Achille with more piercings and tattoos; as a result, they get along very well, and seem to be good friends despite only meeting in person once.

**Dobrev Reign**

Although initially intimidated by Alessandro, Dobrev is immediately calmed by his confidence and experience, and has no problem discussing Lila with him. This may be linked to Alessandro reminding Dobrev of an older Achille, to whom he is very close with. Alessandro notices the younger boy's nerves and tells him not to worry so much.

**Everly Reign**

Everly develops a crush on the much-older Alessandro upon seeing him in Salem when she drives Achille and Dobrev to meet with him. She pleads with her cousin to get his phone number for her, which he rejects in disgust, claiming Alessandro is way too old for her. As Alessandro is discussing Lila the succubus with the boys, he notices Everly taking pictures of him on her phone; when caught, she smiles charmingly and waves at him, to Dobrev's embarrassment. When Alessandro is leaving, Everly again waves at him and hollers a goodbye at him, which he good-naturedly returns.

On the last day of school, Everly tells her friend Jennifer that she finally got Alessandro's number off his official website. Dobrev begs his cousin not to call him, but Everly waves him off, even when Dobrev reminds her that Ian Reign would ground her until the end of high school if she went out with an older man.

**“Gross! Everly, he’s old enough to be—”**

**“My boyfriend, yeah!” She agreed.** *-Everly talking about Alessandro in Chapter 14*
