He is dating Callis or something.

## Appearance

Alessio is a tall, caucasian man of above-average height. He has a slender but athletic figure. His curly hair is dyed lavender purple with dark roots, styled with an undercut and swept to his left on top. His dark facial hair is kept short in a designer stubble style. His eyes are a light gray color.

### Default

Like most Umbra Witches, Alessio also wears a suit woven from his own hair into combat. His default hairsuit consists of a skintight, backless bodysuit with a round chest cut-out. The base is dark purple, with black paneling on the front of the torso and around the neck. The suit is sleeveless and has golden piping on the edges, running down the middle, and separating the purple and black sections. The shoulders are decorated with a gold trimmed epaulette on Alessio's left, and a large, dark fur decoration emulating a storm cloud on his right. The epaulette is decorated with gold studs and fringe. Instead of sleeves he wears a long cascade of hair in a black to purple gradient. He also wears a pair of black, thigh high leather boots, laced in the back with gold ribbons. The heels are decorated with golden cloud and lightningbolt motifs, with a bright purple sole. His outfit is accesorized with a pair of black leather gloves, with the same bright purple color on the palms, a pair of gold earrings in the shape of lightning bolts, the same motif continuing on the temples of his black eyeglasses. He wears several decorative chains around his body with various charms on them depciting weather phenomena. His watch is located in the middle of his chest, pinned to the fur detail.

## History

### Early life

Alessio was born March 18th, 1701, off the coast of Cascadia, a coastal European town in the Mediterrainian region. After his mother, Alíz escaped the Witch Hunts she ended up travelling with the captain of a ship, eventually falling in love and giving birth to Alessio. Knowing her clan is mostly extinct she tried to give as much knowledge of the Bullet Arts and other Umbra techniques and practices as possible to her son. His training began at a young age and he showed natural talent in the martial aspects.

As all known Umbra weaponsmiths perished in the Hunts, Alessio's father followed rumors and legends and eventually tracked down a mythical set of guns named the Brísingamen, crafted by a mysterious master called Leonardo. On their ship's final voyage they got ambushed, and the storm summoned by the enemy Angels destroyed the vessel. Despite her best efforts Alíz couldn't save her partner and almost lost her son as well. As her final gift to Alessio, she gave the young man a watch he was meant to receive later in life, and sacrificed herself in a deal with a demon to save his life. After waking up on an unfamiliar coast surrounded by wreckage, Alessio swore revenge against the forces of Heaven, and made his own pact with Madama Frejya.

### During the events of Bayonetta 1

He hunted angels for several years until a sudden influx of strong angels forced him to seek stronger weapons. Unbeknownst to him, the hightened threat was due to the awakening of Bayonetta. Using his father's research from tracking down his guns, Alessio eventually found Leonardo's workshop, learning that the weaponsmith passed away decades ago. However, he left behind several journals of his studies of the Umbra and Lumen clans, as well as directions to the island of Amsvartnir. Leonardo, fearing his creations would fall into the wrong hands but refusing to destroy his life's work, sealed away all of his weapons on the island, and created security measures to keep invaders away, so only one strong enough to wield them could obtain the items.
