Mental characteristics
Formerly known as Alexander Yano Von Wargen of Joriah. A most friendly vampire. Raised to the rank of count and then banished from
The Archduchy of Rakrel , he lives in a mansion somewhere on the outskirts of Alkalia, not far from the Pyrrha summit and therefore close to the
Oriakese borders. He has chosen the vampire order of the blood will, and fights intensely against all those who have chosen the void. Hating
Kenariah, and intrigued by the Athrians, he followed
Karth Estrada for the first time in his fight against
Shaar Elkraam after the fall. And he came back during his resurrection, attracted by the witch's blood. The reason for his exile was the fact that one of his viscounts,
Jorlev Roheim Orlov, was in fact a member of the
Lapis Nomine, who committed mass murders, and then played trickery and deception to designate Alexander as the culprit. Wrongly accused of his viscount's crimes, his ego was destroyed, even though his innocence was proven, he was still banished for failing to prevent his viscount from committing atrocities. His past is now taboo, and his kindness as a host has its limits.
He doesn't have much family left, except for
his niece whom he loved as his daughter, then as a sister, and now he has a vassalage relationship with her. Both of them regret the time when they could be more familiar with each other. His niece, who has inherited his county, still sends him a small portion of the money she earns through taxes.
As a count, he was risen as such, and therefore possess the education awaited for someone of that rank. Once installed in
Alkalia he embraced fully the dwarven culture.
He is now retired in his manor in the mountain of Alkalia, far from the tumult and intrigues of his motherland. He often receives peoples who want him to read their future, or elves fleeing the
Empire of Oriaka . Furthermore, he is paid by the monastery of Rhode to assert the futures of the new members.
He killed the witch many times, and got killed by her many times too. He lived long enough to see her succeed two time, and was here to participate in a fight against her.
Being framed for the crimes of his viscount, his ego was killed, even if was proven innocent, he was still banished for having not prevented his viscount from doing devilries.
Sil-sankres, more specifically those of blood will, are immune to trauma.
Extremely clever, forged by the intrigues of the court, as a count himself having had to play this little game many times, he is perfectly insensitive to flattery and lies.
He values privacy and honour, and always pay his debts.
His presence in Alkalia, how he got here in the first place, his past in general.

His part of the contract and his engagement has been fulfilled when he killed his traitor former viscount, and helped the Onirem and Arthima families to vanquish Kenariah and Shaar. Now separated from his contracted immortality, he awaits death as a hero.
A benevolent count that value the life of his people, perfectly aware of diplomacy and play of the courts.

Towards Kenariah Avelith-Melida
History
Since Orlov's treachery, anyone helping him is an enemy of Alexander. But Kenariah is clearly something else. For her, Alexander is clearly an obstacle, and a hard one, but trivial compared to the Onirem or Aridia. She only sees him as a good sparring partner, a heat-up before the real competition. And the fact both of them survive their encounters makes it amusing and useful for her, though a bit annoying after the tenth.

Towards Alexander von Wargen
History
Yloriem sought power to vanquish Kenariah, and if at first she was exteremly reluctant to it, she ended up abandoning herself to the vampire blood. Alexander was extremely honest and careful with her. She was duly informed of every pro and cons of becoming a damphyr. But Alexander was also extremely eager to see someone with the same power as Kenariah, who could not only par with her, but even surpass her and stay strong enough to resist the ambition and loss of mind to the evil side of blood magic.
