Born from a couple of peasants in the Blackford Castle area, Alec was always interested in collecting information. Due to the closeness of Blackford Castle and its library, Alec would listen in on discussions of various subjects. One day Alec discovered a portal in the library that brought him to another bigger library. Alec would spend days on end in this library reading and researching for whatever caught his fancy for that day.One day, when he was about 13, while riding horse, Alec was preoccupied with his thoughts and didn't notice a tree branch was hanging too low. When the horse galloped under it, Alec was knocked off, with severe damage to his neck. His parents, being peasants, could not afford extensive medical treatment, but somehow, Alec pulled through.Being bookish before this accident, Alec turned to the library with its multitude of books for solace. One day, a couple of years later, he noticed a couple of men wearing a symbol of a scroll at the library. Being naturally curious, Alec followed them around for a while until they noticed him. When questioned, Alec demonstrated his knowledge and proficiency with information to these men. They invited him to come travel with them. After a while, the priests of Aragen offered to tutor Alec in the ways of Aragen. They brought him scrolls and books on a variety of topics. Alec eagerly read through these scrolls and books, always looking for more information. After five years of training and tutoring, the priests presented Alec with a necklace with a scroll on it, symbolizing his devotion to Aragen.Extra Credit:Height: 5'8"Weight: 160Alec has a scar across his neck from the accident with a tree.

** New Information **
What good, knowledge without the ability to acquire it? The world is a dangerous place, and one must be prepared to protect oneself to survive. While faithfully adhering to Aragen's dogmas of non-violence, not changing or being changed by events, I have found myself bordering on heresy. This cannot continue. Either I must change, or the ways of Aragen must change, but I know that gods change but seldom. I have studied Al'Noth passively, only through the powers granted to me by Aragen, and I have seen people who channel the Al'Noth, and I am sure that I can apply my wisdom and experience into practicing this art. May Aragen find me worthy!
