This is a fact and one he has never been allowed to forget. His mother Calsenica, was a favored daughter of the house de Calientia with a great future before her. Unfortunately she loved not wisely and too well. Her paramour, going under the name of Kaithen at the time he appeared to be a minor and slightly dissolute Cheliaxan noble. Not the best choice, thought the family, but someone we can work with.
They were wrong.
Kaithen was layer on layer of lies with a succubus at the core. Maybe it was chance. Maybe it was a plot by another family. No one knows. By the time the pregnancy was noticed Kaithen had vanished. The pregnancy was difficult with priests and doctors in constant attendance. They were confident that the birth would be successful.
They were wrong, only Alfonso survived.
The effect of the demonic blood manifested early. He nearly killed his governess when a petulant slap raked her from shoulder to hip. Something had to be done. Many voices called for his death. He was an embarrassment, a danger to the family. His grandfather did not agree. Alfonso was de Calientia and would be treated as one. An old ally of the family was called in. Magister Rynard de Entragolo was a respected, powerful and very traditional wizard, a leader of sorts among those studying Thassilonian magic. The child was given to into his care. If anyone could remove the abyssal taint it was the Magister.
He failed.
The methods he used were barbaric. Days packed in Asmodean sanctified salt, nights suspended by hooks over summoning circles. Alfonso was poked and prodded by doctors and alchemists, devils and other things.
Ultimately the Magister bound powerful wards into the very body of the child that prevented the abyss from further corrupting Alfonso.
Able to do no more and unwilling to be constantly reminded of his failure The Magister and the de Calientia family decided that Alfonso should be fostered, preferably somewhere far from the prying eyes and edged tongues of Cheliax.
And so the boy came to Sandpoint, fostered to Madame Niska as a way to pay an obscure debt owed to or by the Magister.
Personality.
Alfonso is a cynic. Quick of mind and sharp of tongue. Friendly if you prove you are not a fool. He can be surprisingly loyal to those he cares about but those so favored are few in number.
Appearance.
Neat. No matter what else you can say about the man Alfonso keeps his appearance at a high standard. He tends to red and tans for colors as he feels they set off his features. One thing that is notable is his habit of always being gloved. Currently his favored pair is rust red kidskin and they extend well under his sleeves.
