Biography

Alexandra was born in the city of Luskan in 1360. The daughter of a sailor, William, and an unknown prostitute, Alexandra doesn’t really know anything about her family, other than that her father was a low ranking sailor in some country’s navy, and that he had knocked up her mother one night while his ship was at port.

She was raised amongst the other street urchins and gutter-trash, and she grew up hard. She learned she had to be clever, fast, and daring to survive, and everything she learned, she learned on the docks. She worked ships when they were in port, climbing rigging, moving crates, and learned how to avoid the dock gangs and over zealous guards. She learned how to hide when she needed to, and fight when she couldn’t run away. 

She wasn’t adopted per se, but her mentor was an old sailor by the name of Walden “The Gent”. He frequented the taverns, bragging about the voyages he’d be on and the adventures he had had on the open sea, and taught her the basics of the life of a sailor: knots, sailing terminology, navigator, and how to read, both books and maps. 

He also taught her how to be honorable, how sometimes it was better to avoid killing someone, and let them spread their tales to new ears. He taught her the importance of mercy, and forgiveness, but also how to strike quickly, and to be decisive when it was needed. 

After Walden died, various people he owed money to looted his “estate”, but Alexandra was able to save his old compass and sextant. She did work for a man, Rethan Voel, who was connected to High Captain Kurth, and eventually split town after making an enemy of Sergeant Tamson Halvek, a corrupt sergeant in the city watch that was falisfying indentures in order to sell people into servitude. Halvek ended up in a dungeon and his operation was ruined, and Alexandra joined with a ship’s crew, The Cutter’s Kiss.

On the ship, she served under Captain Ralphina Marris, and she learned under her, eventually becoming her first mate. Unfortunately, after Marris unknowingly took a job from a Harper Agent, Captain Marris was killed by agents of The Zhentarim.

Since then, Alexandra has been doing jobs for The Harpers and other similar groups, doing what she can to fight back against the evils of the world.

Personality Profile

Alexandra is stubborn, loyal, resourceful, streetwise, and brave, but quick to act, and not always patient with the rules. She believes in hard work, keeping her friends safe, and doing what you need to to survive. She keeps her friends amongst the people in low places: dockhands, street kids, small-time sailors. She can charm people when needed, but relies on force and cunning if she has to.
