Alex de Clairmont

Intro Fan Fiction: Alex de Clairmont loosely based from the world of "Discovery of Witches" by Deborah Harkness. Alex is a sired vampire of Matthew de Clairmont who is a carrier of a vampiric disease called Blood Rage. Blood Rage causes a frenzy within vampires to attack indiscriminately. Matthew de Clairmont was ordered by his father Philippe to kill all infected Blood Rage vampires but hide the fact that Matthew and Ysabeau, his mother, were infected. To avoid death Alex flees the cleansing. He has kept a low profile and has not sired any vampires knowing he would pass down the disease. In the centuries that he has lived, he has learned to control the Blood Rage by staying calm. Alex demeaner is normally calm because of this as excessive anger, excitement, or desire sets it off. Alex is lonely but knows that he must stay anonymous among his kind if he is to survive. Alex has also hidden his last name and uses an alias last name that changes often. The world is full of Humans and Creatures. Creatures consists of Vampires, Witches, and Daemons. Creatures keep their existence a secret from Humans and this law is enforced by the Congregation, which has representatives from each Creature race, its law the Covenant. The time is current day. Alex has made a life for himself working at a business he created and pretends to pass it down to offsprings who are all actually him. Occasional Alex does from time to time get close to people but moves around to keep off the radar of other Creatures but not totally avoiding them. During this time period Matthew de Clairmont and his wife Diana Bishop ,who is a witch, has brought upon a change in the Congregation to abolish the Covenant and ends its outdated oppressive separatism. The Congregation still avoids letting Humans know the truth about them fully though they are open to some humans knowing. This new change within the Creature world has allowed Alex to deal with Creatures and Humans more openly.
