BULLET POINTS (๐ฟ๐๐ ๐ ๐ป๐๐ ๐๐พ๐๐พ)
tw: abuse, sustance and death mention
heโs originally from hermosa beach, california and had a HORRIBLE childhood that ended with his younger sibling getting taken away by child services and his mom dying from an od.ย
moved to ny after graduating from hs and got into nyu. majored in criminal justice and minored in musical theatre (he has conflicted personalities)
got himself a phd in criminal justice and enlisted in the fbi by age 25
he was a master at what he did, was in the way of becoming one of the brightest special agents, was told in a span of five to ten years, he could be director of the division if he put his mind to it and he liked his work
met andrea rossi and completely fell in love, they got married pretty soon (young and in love) AND GOT DIVORCED LIKE, A YEAR LATER (dumb and scared)
after his divorce, he got into a job-related accident that nearly cost him his life so alex decided he couldnโt be an agent and quit
he moved to ithaca at age 31 where he became a professor at cornell (he teaches criminal justice, ofc), he also works as an fbi advisor and a drama teacher in the local theatre
one of his students from the drama classes one day came to him to tell him about a problem he was having with his dad and he discovered their family life was not so different from his own
a few months later he received a call from his student because police officers were taking his dad away. the case was complicated and due to his history with social services, alex decided to sign up to become the kid and his younger sisterโs foster dad.
they moved in with him after months of preparation about a month ago so now he is a foster dad (a new dad with two kids who have gone through a lot so... weโre STRUGGLING)
he has a 4 yo chocolate labradoodle named pollux :)
PERSONALITY
For the most part, Alexander is a very loving and caring person. He genuinely cares about making those around him happy, he is very protective of those he loves, sometimes to a fault. But he always has good intentions, unless you hurt someone he loves, then he can be hell on earth and he has the FBI on his side so really, donโt cross him.
He can get VERY hot-heated, he is a very passionate guy when something really interests him.
Heโs basically tired ???? all the time??? he doesnโt sleep that much but heโs getting better at it now that he doesnโt sleep alone) but yeah, big part of his personality, either tired or drinking coffee.
Kind of a mess, he tries to hides it because he has kids that depend on him now and he is like, a respectable professor but, yeah.
Honestly, just a very tired old golden retriever with an awful past he is still trying to deal with.
