Personality
Seeks - Curious, Aleksey always wants to know more, about what people are doing, about the world around him. He likes finding secrets and solving puzzles. Maybe a little nosy. He hates liars, though he won't get too pushy about getting people to talk about things that hurt them.
Hides - Not an open book himself, Aleksey keeps his own pain close. He has never fully recovered from the loss of his twin or the way the supernatural upended his world, but he doesn't voice those fears and doubts.
Gets to the Heart - Aleksey is not a cold man; he's quite driven by emotion, sometimes overly so. Whether it's guilt, love, or loyalty, Alexei dives in with passion both at work and otherwise. He also has a temper that flares up like sparks, but burns out just as quickly.
- Additional Information
- A lingering nervousness around werewolves. In spite of his own use of magic, he's not a big fan of the overtly supernatural. He's a picky eater, but he loves hot sauce.

Born a couple seconds after his identical twin sister, Aleksey was the youngest child of four, at least until his brother was born a little over five years later. His parents, two Russian immigrants, a non-denominational pastor and his wife, raised their children well. Life was comfortable for the most part, though they weren't exactly wealthy with a small congregation and five children.
Aleksey was a quiet child, a mediator, a bit of a snoop. And if he didn't seem to like dresses or dolls as much as his twin, well every child was different. Not even Aleksey thought he was a boy when he was younger. And even his little brother liked to dress up more than he did anyway.
Overall Aleksey had an unremarkable childhood until tragedy struck during a family camping trip when he was 10. He had been feeling unwell that day, so was lying in the tent instead of playing with his twin and little brother. He wasn't there when they were mauled by the wolf, when she died, when his brother was scarred. He only caught a glimpse of a giant beast chased off by his dad's gun.
There was a hole by his side after that, night terrors. He smothered his little brother as much as his parents allowed, but his other half was still gone. And a month later the fragments of his world were turned upside down when the full moon struck again, except his little brother was the wolf.
From then on he threw himself into books and research. Going into therapy as well. He couldn't bring back his sister or glue himself to his family but he could watch and beware. Eventually this lead to him learning divination.
Around 15-16 he started to feel like he might not be a girl, but he never says anything for fear of betraying his dead twin. A couple years later, he went to college, leading him to more questioning. But it was not until he was 23 that he finally began his transition. Fortunately his parents and siblings were supportive, although his extended family were emphatically not. It even brought him closer to his rather gender non-conforming little brother.
Even once he'd moved out and began working as a private investigator, Aleksey stayed close to home, working in Portland. His magic helped him solve cases perhaps a bit more easily than he otherwise would have, so he could get some higher paying jobs more quickly than average. And eventually he had enough saved up for top surgery.
Now he's staying with his little brother in Polaris Pass while on a forced vacation to recover from his surgery. Maybe he can pick up some new clients while he's there.
