Likes: (3 minimum)
- Training; Even though Alexei’s memories of training are mostly filled with the abuse that his father heaped on him, Alexei, in actual fact, loves training and always manages to find the time to do some basic training if he can.
- Guns; Guns had always fascinated the Italian purely because they were much deadlier than magic could get and no magical shield could stop a bullet from ripping through their brain or chest.
- Quidditch; Like every boy his age, Alexei likes Quidditch but that is mainly so that he can actually wind down from the day than anything else.
- His brother Marcus; Marcus may only be his half-brother but to Alexei he is a role model and his hero. Marcus had been more of a father to Alexei than Antonio had been and it can be seen in the way that most of Alexei’s mannerisms come from his older brother.
- Computers; Most people would say that computers and magical people don’t mix but for Alexei, the computers seem to love him. At home, he can always be seen sitting in front of a computer screen tinkering with one thing or another.
Dislikes: (3 minimum)
- His father; To Alexei, his father is the devil personified. He hates the man with such passion that should he get the chance he will murder the man in cold blood.
- His step-mother and second brother; There is no love lost between the three of them and Alexei tends to pretend that he doesn’t know them just like they tend to pretend he’s not there.
- Killing; He may be a trained killer but Alexei hate’s getting blood on his hands. It’s been ingrained into him though so it’s hard to actually let go of those things.
Strengths: (3 minimum)
- His own strength; Alexei is very strong and he knows it. Should the need arise he can pretty much use his own body strength to get away from nasty situations.
- Dark Arts; His magical strength lays mainly in the Dark Arts though he can do the lighter spells, the Darker ones are much easier to learn than anything else. He is not afraid of using the Dark Arts to his advantage and should the need arise he will gladly retaliate with them.
- Occlumency; Alexei is probably one of the handfull of people who’s mind is so strongly protected that even a fully trained Legilimens Master will have trouble penetrating his mind defences thus they will have a harder time pulling information from his mind.
- Hacking; Unlike most magical people, Alexei received training in the basics of hacking. He can hack into anything as long as he has a computer and access. Naturally, being magical didn’t stop him so over the summer holidays he tends to practice his skills.
Weaknesses: (3 minimum)
- His brother Marcus; Marcus is probably the only weakness that Alexei has at this moment in time when it comes to the people around him. Should anything happen to his brother, Alexei will be quick to drop everything and go to Marcus’ rescue even though he knows that he may be going into a trap. His older brother means everything to him and losing him would crush Alexei.
- His emotions; His emotions are probably one of the most noticeable weakness. In fact, it’s his seeming lack of emotion that is his weakness. His face, more often than not, is a blank mask. Only at times may he flash a smile. Mostly he will just smirk or sneer.
- Impatient; Alexei is much too impatient when it comes to certain things and this can be his undoing at times.
Positive traits: (3 minimum)
- Confident; Alexei is very confident, both in how he looks like and how he in general is.
- Observant; With his childhood how it was, Alexei had to be observant to look out for signs of danger just in case his father’s hand strayed or just in case his step-mother tried killing him again. His life had pretty much been with him observing everything and everyone around him.
- Loyal; Should someone get his friendship, Alexei will stay as loyal to them as he can. He will never turn his back on anyone should they require him.
- Reliable; He may be as distrusting and sceptical as he can be but Alexei is reliable. He will always be there to give a helping hand or an ear to listen to.
Negative traits: (3 minimum)
- Distrusting; With his childhood, it’s no surprise that Alexei is distrustful. It’s been an ingrained instinct in him to not trust anyone. Should you earn his trust but then break it then you can be sure he will not give it back. Earning his trust is hard but earning it back after breaking it will be impossible. He isn’t one to give second chances.
- Short-Tempered; He is a little bit short-tempered though that mainly depends on the person he’s with. There are some people he’s okay with but then there are some people that just fray his nerves within seconds.
- Obsessive; Alexei is one obsessive fucker. Everything he does has to be done perfectly. It doesn’t matter whether it's school work or playing quidditch.
- Sceptical; When it comes to people trying to be his friend or something, don’t be surprised when he looks sceptical. His childhood and then his teenage years he had been forced to be sceptical of people’s eagerness to be friends with him.
Alexei's life, from the moment he was born, was filled with nothing more than misery and abuse. He was born to an Italian Half-Blood Wizard who was also the head of a Mafia organisation and his American Half-blood mistress who had been with the man for many years. Alexei had been an unwanted child by his father purely because he already had two other sons that would potentially take over the family business.
Before Alexei even hit his second birthday, his mother left Italy altogether, leaving him with his father; they never heard from the woman again but Alexei suspected that she had either been killed or had committed suicide. Either way, he didn't care anymore; he felt grateful towards his mother for giving birth to him but other than that, the woman had been a complete stranger.
His early childhood was filled with nothing more but murder attempts on his young life by his step-mother and her youngest son; neither one liked him and each and every time they reminded him of his unwanted status, going as far as even poisoning his food so that he would just die but each and every attempt had been thwarted by the woman's eldest child who took offense to a grown woman trying to kill a little child, even if that child had been the bastard son of his father.
His father, on the other hand, took a rough hand to his growing up and all he could remember from very early on was being beaten and tortured by his father to 'toughen him up'. He couldn't ever remember the man hugging him with love or even kissing his forehead when he had been tucked in at night. All he remembered was pain and even more pain.
When he turned six, Alexei was declared fit enough to learn the family 'trade'; in other words, he was taught how to torture, how to withstand torture, how to kill, how to avoid being killed. He had been put under the Cruciatus curse so many times that Alexei now could withstand the curse for hours, the torture curse only tickling him really. He had been forced to withstand the Imperious curse that no-one was capable of putting him under it anymore. He had been taught how to close off his emotions, how to lose all human moral when doing the killings. He had been taught how to Occlude his mind that only a Master of the mind arts would be able to force his/her way through.
His body was literally a canvas of scars; there was not a place on his body where there was no scar. His father took glee in scarring his body and torturing him that Alexei had, more than once, feared for his life, feared that one day his Father would go just that one step too far and kill him. He never did though and while Alexei had been pleased about it, he had also been frightened; it meant that the torture would go on longer, it meant that he would be a shell of his former self.
Fortunately for the young child, though, his eldest half-brother took him under his wing after seeing the abuse that was being heaped upon him. His half-brother, Marcus, taught him everything he could from the Italian language to maths, from how to make a bomb to how to dismantle one, from how to use a gun to how to dispose of it should a need arise. He taught him how to survive the torture with a clear and perfect mind without it breaking under pressure. He gave him the basics of magical theory, showing him how spells worked, how different ingredients reacted, how
By the time he had been eleven, Alexei had gone through so much that the child had been surprised he hadn't become a sociopath, killing his own Father in cold blood but that, he knew, was due to his elder brother. The man had done everything in his power to protect the child from the more dirtier and darker aspects of life, however, Alexei had been shrouded in so much misery that his life had never been the same.
At age eleven he received a letter from Durmstrang, which had been a surprise for the child considering the fact they lived in Italy, but he accepted and at age eleven he left for the school. His life at Durmstrang was just that bit better than at home because at Durmstrang he didn't have to be tortured by his Father or have murder attempts on his life by his step-mother and half-brother.
Durmstrang had been the reprieve that Alexei needed purely because he could hide away from the world and not come out until it was needed; at Durmstrang he didn't need to actually be afraid for his life. The only thing he needed to fear really was the fact that he would get swallowed up by the Dark Arts but for Alexei, it had already been too late. Dark Arts had been just as much his life as the torture on him had been and he had taken to those lessons like a duck to water.
His marks were the highest he could ever achieve and professors had been surprised but mainly happy that they had someone like him in their classes, they never complained about him and instead praised him; it didn't make Alexei feel proud but it was something at least.
It had been in the summer following his first year when Alexei received the scar to his chest; his father had been pissed beyond belief and unfortunately, Alexei had been an easy target for the man. The teen couldn’t remember the exact details of what had happened but what he could remember was the immense pain on his chest, that’s all.
For the next two/three years following that everything had been going alright; he went to Durmstrang, attended lessons, went back home for summer holidays, got tortured by his father, had been forced to kill so many people he lost count. It had been the end of his fourth year when everything came to a standstill.
The moment he got home, Alexei had been ushered into his Father's study where he had been told that he was being shipped off to England because the family was losing their standing in Italy. Now, Alexei wasn't one to look a gift-horse in the mouth so after asking for some time to pack, he had been quick to pack away all his stuff in his room which included a rather large sum of money, both muggle and magical that Marcus had helped him save up and only after speaking with his elder brother did he realize that the two of them were going to England, though Marcus was going without their father's say so; after all, he couldn't leave his younger brother alone in an entirely new country with no-one there.
So two weeks afterwards, Alexei had been ushered onto an aeroplane, with a new ID with a completely different surname, and he left behind Italy and it's pretty scenery. Whether it was going to be the start of a better life would depend entirely on what would happen in England but Alexei was off good thought.

The Corvanelo Family had been around for many years, probably since the early 1700's and up until the early 1800's they had been prominently an Italian pureblood family until the, then, Lord of the Corvanelo decided to marry an Italain Muggle Born Witch.
The family had mostly stayed in the shadows doing nothing and everything until the 1800's where they became something like the muggle mercenaries that helped their neighbours but since the early 1900’s they had become a very influential Mafia family of their own. Their wealth is huge and they are very much a family that is steeped in darkness and death. Their hands are stained in blood and no-one in their family is free from the sins of killing and murder.
It had only been recently when the family started losing their prestige and wealth due to the bad decisions of Pierre Corvanelo and then his son Antonio, it is unknown yet how much the family lost but some speculate that it won't be long before Antonio were to lose the entire wealth. Thankfully, for Marcus and Alexei that won't mean much considering that they had more than a quarter of the Corvanelo wealth in a Gringotts vault in England, the money that they had saved up and stole from their father.
