overall: Alex is lost in the world, he does not who who likes him or hates him. He struggles to see other peoples emotions and tends to hurt them without knowing, due to this he has very few friends. He does not always do it on purpose but it tends to happen to him. He is quiet and is angered easily. But the few friends he has see him as a different person, he has a sense of humour but he believes if something good happens in life then something bad with occur later on. He is pessimistic and does not care what people's opinions are of him. Alex is active though, he enjoys playing Quidditch. He likes to keep a few close friends. He is also a very loyal friend, dependable and will try helping his friends out in every way. However he is scared that something bad will happen.

overall:
Alex was born in Glasgow, Scotland and moved to London when he was a year old. He never spoke to his family so he only knew his mother and father. They lived in a flat as his parents weren't that rich and spent most of their time out of the house. He knew about the wizarding world from a young age, his parents were proud of him. They told him about mudbloods and blood traitors and how he must never talk to them or muggles. But he did not understand that then he was too young.

His first magical experienced happened when a load of dishes fell from inside the kitchen when Alex was upset about something. His parents were over the moon and Alex was spoiled quite a bit, he was eight at the time. His parents home tutored Alex throughout the primary school years they did not want him to be taught by filth. Alex found it fun as he learnt about the family history and many other things.

When Alex was eleven he got a letter from Hogwarts, he set off and took the sorting hat and ended up with Slytherin and his parents were really proud.

Throughout Hogwarts his favourite subject was Defense Against the Dark Arts which he got his highest grade in, overall he did better then expected receiving close to top marks across the board. He was intelligent but his behaviour showed otherwise, he liked to break some of the rules and ended up with detentions.

Once he finished with Hogwarts, Alex began to move in and out of jobs waiting for a position in Hogwarts to appear.

Whilst Alex is out of work he drinks every night. Not due to self pity but seeing people come and go in his life, his parents dying and not being able to fit in anywhere. There is more to his past then he lets out, he had done some bad things not enough to get into major trouble but he had been in trouble with the ministry for cursing someone.
