Personality: Most would say that Alex has a rather cold personality, he doesn't often show warm affection towards others, unless of course they are in his close circle of friends. He tends to remain aloof and disconnected from others, not really wanted to get too attached for fear of betrayal. Like all Children of Hades, he has the ability to hold a grudge so long that it dies of old age, then he stuffs it and mounts it on his wall. There are few who can crack his stygian ice exterior to find a gentle soul who wants nothing more than acceptance. He is still adjusting to the new time period he lives in, but he is making progress.
History: Born in 1929, before the world erupted into all out war yet again, a young Greek student named Maria Scuro caught the eye of a wealthy business man, while working with an expedition to excavate some ruins on the Island of Mykonos. The business man was impressed by her skill and knowledge of Ancient Funerary rights in the area, soon drawing her into his bed. They continued to see each other until the excavation was over, and her lover had to return home to tend to other business.
Even before he left, she knew she was pregnant, but didn't want to scare him off by telling him, so she kept her secret returning to her parents home to carry out the child to term, claiming that she had married a fisherman while on Mykonos, but he had been lost at sea shortly after their wedding. Few questioned her story, although her family was disappointed that she had married in secret.
Shortly before the child was born, Maria began telling everyone she knew that her child would be great and powerful, that one day he would stand astride the world like a Colossus, or that she would give birth to the reincarnation of Alexander the Great himself, even going so far as to name her son Alexander in hopes that it would be true. Most people chose to ignore Maria and her boasting, after all every mother thought their child would be something special.
As Alexander grew older, and proved himself to be no different than any other Greek child of his age, Maria still stubbornly boasted about how great her son would one day be.
On Alexander's 16th birthday, the world was poised for war, his father made an unexpected visit. He greeted Alexander cordially enough saying that he expected great things from the boy in his future, but before he could speak to Maria, their home exploded, as a result of one of Zeus' lightning bolts.
Hades had used his power to protect his son, but could do nothing for Maria, a scene which would repeat itself in the future with Alexander's half-brother and sister the di Angelos.
Furious, Hades took Alexander with him to the Underworld, placing the boy in a deep sleep, hiding the boy where none of the other gods could reach him. And there he remained until the end of the Titan War, when he revived Alexander and brought him to the Half-Blood Academy.
