Dimitri Alekseyev

About

Winter-forged blades and phoenix tattoos map the landscape of Dimitri's scarred body, a living testament to his dual heritage of Russian discipline and Japanese precision. Behind eyes that shift between glacial calm and volcanic rage, he carries an ancestral mission: to restore honor to a lineage fractured by generations of betrayal.

Backstory

Music boxes fascinated the young blacksmith's apprentice before fate twisted his life into something unrecognizable. When Dimitri's village fell not to raiders but to a plague that drove men mad with bloodlust, he alone remained immune, forced to end the suffering of neighbors who had become monsters—including his own father, whose katana now bears the weight of that final, merciful blow. The traveling theater troupe that found him weeks later included Master Hiroshi, a former samurai turned performer who recognized the boy's unnatural ability to remain calm in chaos and trained him in arts that blended deception with honor. Years of hunting the cult responsible for unleashing the plague have honed Dimitri into something between shadow and steel, his mother's lullaby now a whispered incantation that keeps the same madness at bay. The melody that once wound music boxes in his father's forge has become his anchor to sanity and his promise that no other child will face what he endured.
