Alessandro is a Zoroark possessing strong (but not obvious) Inteleon genes.

When Alessandro was born, his family was teetering on the edge of poverty. Many businesses that his father worked for fell into bankruptcy, and many places refused to hire said father since a rumor was spread that he brought ill-fortune to any that hire him. From a young age Alessandro learned how to work any and all jobs that would accept him, so that he can make at least some money to help his parents put food on the table. With his mother being constantly away due to her job as a mercenary, he grew close to his father and desired strongly help him in any way he could.

Upon reaching a teenager, the odd-jobs he accepted no longer became enough to sustain him and his parents, so Alessandro eventually resorted to stealing. Living in the dirtier parts of the city allowed him to pick up numerous skills - fighting being one of them. As he grew older, his skills and capabilities grew as well. Soon Alessandro became a rather infamous criminal within the dark reaches of the city, news of his strength being spread to many. It wasn't until his name reached the head of a growing assassin organization that his life forever changed, for said individual took a fascination on Alessandro before approaching him in secret. With the offer of great pay Alessandro instantly took the offer, since he was already familiar with dark and gritty work.

It wasn't until he was mentored by the head of the assassin organization that he discovered something about himself - his lust for battle. Although he knew he enjoyed getting into scuffles and fights, being properly taught on how to kill made Alessandro realize his true calling. When there was nothing left to be taught to him, Alessandro worked under the organization to seek out and kill key targets, the pay for each job being for more than he has ever received back during his mugging days.

He never once told his family of what he did, and although the sudden influx of major wealth was suspicious to his parents, they believed him of his lies of obtaining a legitimate and well-paying job. With the money it allowed his father to start his own business - which eventually took off and became one of the most well-known shipping businesses in the kingdom. His mother no longer needed to work as a mercenary and retired, and eventually Alessandro had several new siblings - two brothers and three sisters.

Alessandro eventually stumbled upon Yingtai's group while they were forming, and upon seeing what the group consisted of? He immediately became interested and requested to join under the guise of seeing the ad she posted on the bulletin board. His words were 'An heir of a prestigious business, an ex-pirate queen, and the famous vice-captain of the knights? That sounds like quite a team, count me in!' While assisting them with various tasks and requests, he still performs his job as a master assassin, killing marked individuals while his group is preoccupied. Like his family, he never tells the others of what his job is, only saying 'I'm just someone who does a little of everything' when asked.

Although Alessandro appears to be only a Zoroark, his Inteleon genes take shape in the form of his abilities. Instead of creating illusions, he instead conjures and manipulates water. He often utilizes this ability to enhance his attacks, such engulfing his arms and claws before solidifying it to grant them great cutting power. He also uses this ability to create a mask to obscure his face when undertaking a mission for the organization. Along with this ability, his mentor has bestowed upon him the power to tap into his life-essence and use it to super-charge him, the effect transforming him into a powerful entity with immensely enhanced strength and power - at the cost of leaving him drained and vulnerable once the transformation eventually expires.

Note: Alessandro often prefers to be called 'Sandy'. The nickname originates from his first younger brother calling him by the name while they were at the beach building sandcastles, he enjoyed the name so much that he requested that everyone (including complete strangers) call him as such when addressing him - the only exception being the organization he works for.
