Background:
To say Aleister led a life of privilege would be an understatement. Born into one of the more influential noble families very few of his desires ever went unindulged. While his older brothers excelled at smithing and sword training, Aleister's strengths were decidedly more scholarly; a fact that was eventually (albeit somewhat begrudgingly) accepted by his father. "After all, in certain situations a strong political mind can be just as sharp, and just as useful, as the finest of steel blades." With that thought Aleister was taught by the finest tutors money and influence could buy.

Seemingly intent on disappointing his father, Aleister's interests tended to lean more toward the sciences as opposed to government and politics, but to keep up appearances the family continued to indulge Aleister's academic pursuits by paying for his university education. In fact his father's pride was rekindled when Aleister's work in formulae and discoveries earned him an substantial amount of notoriety.

In his final year at university the Reed family fell victim to a vicious scandal and lost all of its money and influence. While a distraught Aleister was packing up his belongings and preparing to leave, he received a note stating that an anonymous benefactor paid the remainder of his tuition in full. Aleister finished out his academic career and, after being awarded his degree, he discovered a note taped to the back. it read: We will be in touch.

It's been a few years now...but in the back of his mind Aleister is constantly wondering just when the other shoe will drop.
