====================
BACKGROUND
====================
Alessandro Esposito was abandoned as a child at the feet of the Arodennama by unknown parents. He was found and taken in by a pious beggar who still worshiped the dead god Aroden. He raised Alessandro to believe that one day Aroden would return as Westcrown’s savior and liberate it from House Thrune’s and the church of Asmodeous’ grasp. Every day Alessandro would look up with hope in his eyes at the towering statue that protected him as a child and watched over the city even now and he promised the god that he'd work towards the good of mankind. When his foster father passed away, he took up residence in the abandoned old shrine of Aroden in Rego Spera.

Alessandro resents the corrupt government and what has become of his beloved city of Westcrown. He hates the Dottari, viewing them as little more than thugs masquerading under the guise of authority. He views the fact that they bear Aroden’s mark as defiling all that Aroden stands for. And he especially despises that they’ve done nothing to rid Westcrown of the shadow creatures that terrorize the night.

Before he met Arael, he earned coin by working for the Westcrown Shadow Hunters hunting the shadow beasts that plague the crumbling city. If the dottari weren’t going to do anything to protect Westcrown’s people, Alessandro would pick up their slack. On a successful night, he’d drop off a kill at a tavern near the old Leroung estate and receive a bag of gold the next day on his doorstep. He was fairly successful at this work and managed to get by with a decent wage that’d make many of the commoners of Westcrown jealous. Alessando knew this and never kept more than he needed, donating the rest back into society to help the poor.

When Arael came to the shrine with the intension of using the shrine as the safe house for his “rebellion”, Alessandro found that his ideals and goals aligned with his own and was eager to sign up. With the Children of Westcrown still being in its initial stages, Alessandro continued his night hunts in the meantime.

However, one night, while Alessandro was out on a hunt, he didn’t return. Arael kept up hope that he’d return but as the weeks passed without word he eventually resigned himself to assume he was dead and thus felt no need to mention him to the other adventurers he recruited.

The truth was, Alessandro was hunting the Rego Cader and was ambushed by a vampire spawn within the ruins. He battled the creature on the crumbling rooftop of an opera house. In one-on-one combat, Alessandro didn’t stand a chance but the rotting ceramic roof tiles crumbled beneath their feet and they both impaled themselves upon a piece of exposed rebar sticking out of the foundation. Neither could free themselves but come morning, the vampire was incinerated by the sun’s rays. There Alessandro remained for many days with only his prayers to Aroden to sustain him. Eventually a rundottari came across him and freed him from the pole. The corrupted guard accepted a bribe not to simply arrest him for trespassing but neither would the guard carry him to safety. A healing potion staved off the mortal wound but it would still be many more days before he would be strong enough to travel again. He hid within the ruins of the opera house and with luck no more shadow creatures came across him.

Finally, once recovered, he returned to the shrine of Aroden. Arael welcomes him with open arms and thanked the stars that he still lived. Arael updated him on what’s happened since his disappearance and told him about the others who have been working for him and recently broke of the criminal gang, the Bastards of Erebus. Intrigued, Alessandro decided to seek them out and lend them his aid.

====================
PERSONALITY
====================
Alessandro has lived most of his life as a loner but is eager to join a worthy cause. He considers himself a defender of mankind. He is kind and generous to those in need but is merciless to those who seek to harm others. Living most of his life on the streets, he lacks social grace but is friendly unless given reason not to be. He is a devout worshipper of Aroden. He knows that Aroden is gone but strongly believes that one day he will return and that Aroden still watches over him even in his absence. He doesn’t preach conversion but gladly discusses his ideology to those who are interested. Even though he isn’t book-smart, he knows the streets and can guide others through most of Westcrown with ease.

====================
APPEARANCE
====================
Alessandro has olive skin and short trimmed black hair. He has a thin moustache and goatee. Bright blue eyes and a pearly smile make him appear very approachable. He wears practical dark leathers ideal for stealth. A silver holy symbol of the eye of Aroden hangs around his neck. Two finely crafted kukris sit against his hips and a longbow is strapped to his back. He carries himself with confidence and without fear.
