Background:
Alessandro is the 4th generation of Syvallans in Kenabres, all Iomedaen paladins in the Mendevian Crusades (Child of Crusades trait). However, from a young age, he knew he was different. At the age of 5, he noticed that his shadow sprouted wings and his eyes began glowing when angered. At the age of 10, his mother, a renowned crusader, was killed in action during the 4th Crusade, when the silver dragon Terendelev and the balor Khorramzadeh engaged in fierce battle, forcing the balor to retreat to save his life, thereby ending the Crusade. Upon learning of his mother’s death, Alessandro dedicated himself to his paladin studies (proficiency in K. Religion), vowing to avenge his mother’s death. When he underwent puberty at age 14, as he underwent his paladin crusader combat training, his skin turned an emerald metallic sheen (Planetar heritage). Despite being ostracized and bullied as a freak (reactionary trait) by some of his fellow crusaders in training, Alessandro continued his training, building up his strength (hence 18 Str), and dedicating himself to the longsword and shield (armor and weapon proficiency) typical of Iomedae’s servants. At age 17, he officially joined the Crusades and was sent to the frontlines. However, during one of his first missions, when his unit was ordered to ambush and secure a demonic outpost, Alessandro’s zeal and obsession with slaying demons overtook him and he lashed out against his enemies, giving away his position, as his surprise attack with his longsword failed to kill the demon on guard duty. The resulting failed ambush led to the deaths of 8 rookie crusaders. Miraculously, Alessandro himself survived, and managed to flee with one other survivor back to Kenabres. Upon learning of the young paladin’s egregious mistake in the ambush, he was imprisoned, and criminal charges were about to be brought against him. Upon languishing in prison for a month, carrying the guilt of his dead crusader allies on his conscience, surprisingly, he was freed. Irabeth Tirablade, the half-orc paladin, who had mentored Alessandro during his paladin training, spoke on his behalf for leniency and he was released into her custody. She saw potential in him and allowed him to be trained for three (3) years as a demon-slayer (ranger class), honing his tracking, perception, and K. Planes skills. He also discarded the longsword and shield style, realizing his mistake during the failed ambush, and focused on the greatsword (Weapon focus) for effect and damage potential. Now, three years later, Alessandro is ready to tackle the demons of the Worldwound. He still struggles with the internal conflict of wanting to kill demons yet at the same time care for his companions. However, he will not repeat the mistakes of the past. He wishes to make his father, a retired crusader, his Queen, and his goddess proud.
Appearance: Alessandro is 6'4", 200 lbs, with glowing hazel eyes, silver hair, and emerald metallic skin.
Personality: Driven to succeed and slay demons, yet also cognizant of wanting to protect the innocent and his team.
