Alexei has traveled to Vallaki to find a lead on what caused the dhampirism. He discovered that there is a healer in Krezek that has supposedly recently raised the dead, and may know more about the affliction. But the Vistani don't really travel there, and going alone would be dangerous.
In the mean time, he's come back home to the The Village of Barovia, after hearing news that Gorek is doing poorly.

Personal history
His earliest memories are vague remembrances of town and the people in it. He was home-schooled by his parents, and enjoyed it. As a child, he wanted to be an entertainer, and learned to play the flute from Gorek, though his parents were scandalized.
Dhampir Transformation
Something happened during the transformation to dhampir. There was a female tone, comforting and placating, shifting to hurriedness, before waking up with no real memories of his past. His family found him and brought him home, clearly caring deeply for him, but had to remind him of most of his relationships and past.
Post transformation, Alexei needs to feed on the negative dreams of others.
Previous Exposure to Outsiders
Alexei has heard some rumors from Vistani of outsiders coming to Barovia. He met one group, once, when camping in the
Tser Falls Camp. They came in, went into a grand, permanent tent that Alexi was never invited into, and came out looking startled. The outsiders, a woman in heavy armor, a man in wizard robes and a man dressed as a ranger, claimed to have been chased by an unseen force into the fog, where they got lost and trapped in Barovia. They did not believe the Vistani when they were told they could not leave, and the woman and wizard seemed determined to take on Strahd to leave, while the ranger seemed more cautious and wanting to pick their battles. They left in the morning, and Alexei did not see them again.
