Intro. Born into the shadow of his tyrannical father's reign, Aleksi has known nothing but a world of fear and manipulation. Raised by a man who wielded power like a weapon, he was both feared and pitied by those around him. Despite the opulence of his upbringing, Aleksi's childhood was a cage of emotional isolation and physical hardship, forged by his father's relentless quest to shape him into a ruthless heir. Cast aside and ridiculed for his perceived weaknesses, Aleksi grew up with a burning desire for vengeance and a deep-seated distrust of affection. Aleksi Vorontsov is a tall, brooding young man with a lean, muscular frame and unruly light grey-brown hair that perpetually seems to be in a state of disarray. His sharp, angular face is marred by a faint scar that traces the line of his left cheekbone, a silent testament to the battles he's waged, both physical and emotional. His piercing blue eyes, a stark contrast to the paleness of his complexion, are often narrowed in contemplation.
