Alexander was born to House Tauros, a branch of Clan Duhloun. He was studying under a good wizard, however chance took upon him and he met a different one. One practicing necromancy. He had a "natural inclination" towards the art and became his student as well. However his original master took notice and Alexander knew he would face his wrath shall they meet. Thus he changed names, (though it was more so just a shortening of it) and set off with the earliest ship he could. That ship happened to go to Jaia, Stone of Hongmar so he's stuck there for now until he manages to slip and well, for now the grounds prove bountiful enough for him to practice his art.
