Aleksander Novikov

About

Aleksander Novikov moves through the shadows like a whisper, his presence both magnetic and unsettling. Cloaked in dark fabrics that absorb light, he possesses an air of melancholy, burdened by the weight of his sister's loss yet driven by an insatiable curiosity for the mysteries of death. His fingers often stroke the sinewy remains of ancient scrolls, as if each frayed edge contains the key to unlocking life beyond the grave.

Backstory

Three days after the plague ships arrived, Aleksander Novikov discovered he could hear the voices of the dying before they spoke their final words—a curse inherited from his grandmother's bloodline that had skipped two generations. When his sister Elara succumbed to the mysterious illness sweeping through Moros, her spirit lingered just long enough to whisper a warning about the necromancers who had orchestrated the plague to harvest souls. Driven by her revelation and his own supernatural burden, Aleksander infiltrated Malachi Darkheart's inner circle, pretending to seek apprenticeship while secretly gathering evidence of the conspiracy. Each ancient scroll he studies contains not just necromantic secrets, but fragments of his grandmother's research into the family curse—knowledge that might be the key to exposing the truth behind Elara's death and stopping the harvest of innocent souls.
