Alexander is an enigma. He rose from obscurity about ten years ago when he made headlines with his murder of the famous philanthropist Vincent Merulio, who was posthumously discovered to have been at the had of nation-wide organised crime ring.

"How many times have I told you not to play with the propane tanks!?" shouted Emily's mother, bursting through the garage door in a frightful fury.
"Mphmmh phhmmmp!"
"And for crying out loud, take that gas mask off. I can't understand a word you are saying!"
Emily turned from her gas tanks and pushed the com button on the side of the mask, which made her sound as if she were talking through a tin can. "I already did my homework. What else am I suppose to do?"
Flick-click.
Emily's mother threw up her hands in exasperation. "I don't know, go play with people your own age. With NORMAL people who play outside and talk to each other instead of huffing gas fumes."

Lady Isabella Harris Worthington, wife of sir William, is the keeper and mistress of the Worthington property and estate, as well as creator and protector of the Worthington family crest. Born into the Spanish royal family, lady Isabella married the UK Duke Montgomery Harris at an early age. Following 10 years of happy marriage, Duke Harris passed away, leaving his estate to his widow, who remarried after she had overcome her grief, bringing the famous Sir William Worthington into the British royal family. However, after much political slander over this second marriage, the Worthington family decided to renounce their titles as Duke and Duchess and depart for the United States, relocating both sir William's blooming textile business, as well as their entire estate.
Sir William Henry Worthington III, KBE is a wealthy middle-aged British philanthropist who made his fortune in the textile industry. Recently, he retired from commercial business and devoted over 50% of his income to charitable foundations when he and his wife Isabella moved their permanent residence to US soil. He has invested over 40 million dollars in cancer research and even more in various relief and infrastructure funds aimed to help developing African countries. Easily recognisable for his trademark white suit and red tie attire as well as his apparently naturally fiery red hair, Sir William is a respected celebrity at every event he attends.
At least, that's what William has spent a lot of effort make people believe. The truth of the man behind all the names and titles, however, is much, much darker. This ancient immortal has long history of murder, manipulation, conspiracy and intrigue.
