Alexsander

Alexsander began his human life a little over 12 000 years ago in what is known today as Siberia. He led an exceptionally harsh life (especially if we consider the olden days) in the family of a simple farmer; his mother passed away at birth. The sole survivor of six siblings, Alexsander’s task was to simply keep on living, to help his father, and his village. After his father’s death, Alexsander decided to leave the village behind and seek a life of his own, away from the painful past. The paths of Destiny took him to the territory of today’s France where he settled down. Alexsander’s human life ended just before he turned forty, after he took part in a plan that would end up saving the entire human race.

He was then reborn as a vampire, but not just any vampire - Alexsander was the first vampire in history. He was the Alpha of his species. As time went by, Alexsander proved himself to be a driving force in the supernatural world - he created and mentored multiple vampires, helped with their, and other species’, attempts to stay hidden from mortals, and sometime between the XIII-XIV century, he laid the foundations for ‘The Immortals’ Academy in Neuschwanstein castle - a place where mortals could perfect and master their skills and abilities. With this move, Alexsander gained his newest title - the Immortal King.

Rosie

Rosie was born on August 21st, 1944, in Manchester, the United Kingdom, to a merchant and a teacher. A couple of years after her birth, there’s a new addition to the family - her little sister Margerie, and they decide to relocate to Seville, Spain, in the hopes of securing a better future for their two daughters. They remain there until 1961, when, almost a month after Rose’s seventeenth birthday, they decide to move back to England, forced to leave Margerie to the care of very close friends, which was unavoidable due to a lack of money.
On their way home, the family unexpectedly finds themselves in the middle of a small plague outbreak. Rosie’s mother and father inadvertently fall ill with the disease, and, realising they were doomed, willingly surrender themselves to local authorities in an attempt to keep their eldest daughter safe. They are executed, and their bodies - dumped in the Atlantic Ocean.

Soon after she arrives at Manchester, Rose discovers she’s also infected, despite her parents’ sacrifice. Traumatized and desperate, she flees Manchester and runs to the Welsh forests, where she intends to live out her remaining few days away from people. It is there that she’s accidentally discovered by Alexsander. In the late autumn of the same year, her human life ended.
Taken into a new family and left to the care of her brother Xander, Rosie begins learning how to live life as a vampire. With the guidance of Xander, she masters the art of hunting, keeping herself hidden from mortals, and perfects her innate talent - archery. Thanks to her new senses and, of course, Xander’s watchful eye, Rose survives the first several critical years of her new life.
Returning to the Academy and Alexsander in the winter of 1979, Rose swears the Oath of Loyalty to the ancient vampire and joins his personal guard alongside Xander.
