PLAY-BY:
Danila Kozlovsky
BLOOD STATUS:

HAIR:
Short, brunette hair. He keeps a bit of scruff on his chin but he doesn't like a full beard. The most he'll grow is a goatee and some stubble on the side.
SKINTONE:
Alek is fairly pale as he doesn't get out much.
HEIGHT & WEIGHT:
6'1 160 lbs
DISTINGUISHING MARKS:
Tattoo of a Romanian Longhorn on his left arm.
OVERALL PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION:
Alek has a very arrogant air about him. The way he walks and dresses shows he just doesn't care what people think of him. He keeps himself cleaned up and smelling nice but not for anyone else's benefit. His hair is soft and he likes it that way because he enjoys when a woman runs her fingers through his hair. His physique is well fit. He's tall and strong which can come off as intimidating. He works out often to keep himself in shape so he can take throw out anyone that disrespects his employees. He has a tattoo of a dragon on his left arm to show pride for his Romanian nationality. He plans to get more but hasn't decided on what yet.
NON-MAGICAL SKILLS: Before he got a wand, he got into quite a few fist fights with the neighborhood boys. He enjoys fighting because there is a power behind his fist hitting another man's jaw that a wand can't compare to. In his teen years he used to fight for money and won against most men. He's a fair cook as well and his specialty is a beef stew, using a recipe from his grandmother that he's tweaked a bit.
MAGICAL SKILLS: Alek is good with potions and herbology. He grows most of the vegetables and herbs used in his pub's food in his own garden. He played Quidditch a bit while in school and still enjoys the sport very much although he hasn't played himself in years. Quidditch in Russia was very different; they fly on uprooted trees rather than broomsticks. He's tried to ride a broomstick but it doesn't feel as stable to him
WEAKNESSES: Alek is a bit of a hot-head. He loses his temper easily and is very stubborn. He likes things his way and is hard to be swayed. It can be good for his business as far as negotiating with customers goes but in relationships it's proved to be an issue. He hates the ministry and has pissed off more than a few of them with his attitude alone. He's seen so much pain in his life and has no fear for his own anymore. Which has gotten him into trouble often enough. His only real fear is losing his baby sister. You threaten her and he's a broken man.
STRENGTHS: Alek is good at keeping his mouth shut. He hears so many stories that aren't to be repeated that he's used to keeping secrets. Which is good when he's housing so many criminals and runaways. He's very loyal and protective over those he deems deserving and it's not hard to get on his good side. He has a great sense of humor and is generally light hearted despite his anger issues. He's proud of his life and his shop and what he's accomplished. It makes him very confident, a little over confident at times, but it causes his business to thrive.
QUIRKS & HABITS: Alek is a bit of a neat freak when it comes to his kitchen, a habit that he picked up from his mother. He has fired many cooks for not keeping things clean enough for him.
OVERALL PERSONALITY DESCRIPTION: Alek is an arrogant and stubborn man. He says whatever he wants and doesn't care about the consequences. But at the same time he knows when to keep his mouth shut. He grew up keeping secrets and is a great confidant. He's loyal to those who deserve it but deserving to him could simply be they've done enough favors or paid him. He would never sell someone out though because that's how he lost his parents and would never put someone's family through that type of grief.
He's very proud of his business and won't tolerate anyone talking bad about it. He wouldn't hesitate to throw someone out for being disrespectful to him or his employees. Or especially his sister. His little sister is the only thing more important to him than the Serpent's Lust.
He had to grow up at a young age and raise his five year old sister, teaching her the ways of the world and how to control her magic. He also had to learn to handle a buisness while juggling all of his responcibilites. He has wanted to run away from his life many times, especially when he nearly lost it all, but he managed to pull everything together and is very proud of that. He's a little arrogant because he's such a success at a young age and demands respect for it.

CHARACTER HISTORY: Aleksei Volkova was the first son of Grigory and Ivanna Volkova. His father was a muggleborn and his mother a muggle. Their marriage was arranged but they were very much in love. Grigory was twenty-two and Ivanna only fourteen. He worried that his bride wouldn't be pleased with him as their age difference was so great but she was completely infatuated with him. He joined the Russian mafia at a young age, before he even met his wife, and was showing great promise by the time they had married.
He was a wizard who had attended Koldovstoretz, a school in Russia, until he was fifteen when he dropped out to join a dark career path. He had been a troublesome child and followed in his father's footsteps when he was old enough. It was kept a secret that he was a wizard because it was not something that would be accepted in the gang. Witches and wizards were feared because they were understood and he was sure he would be killed if they found out. His wife, however, was informed early into their marriage. Despite his concerns about how she's feel about his secret, he needed her to know. He couldn't keep such a secret from her. But she loved him even more for it.
Within the first year of their marriage, Ivanna was expecting a child. Aleksei was born healthy and strong and they were so happy with their first born. They couldn't wait to have more. They felt a false sense of security after having so much luck with their first child. When their second son was born three years later he never even took his first breath. Ilya's passing was devastating to their family. Even Alek would had been excited to be a big brother. He couldn't understand what happened to the baby boy. They were eager to try again but their fear kept them from really trying until two years later when they were blessed again. As Galvin was born crying, they were so happy. But he lived mere hours, breaking their hearts a little more. They did everything they could to avoid conceiving another child. There was one more pregnancy that didn't even make it half way before they lost that one too.
When Alek was ten years old, he was graced with a sister. He tried to not get too attached because he assumed she would die as well but as days passed and she still blessed their lives, he fell in love with the little beauty. He helped his mother care for her until it was time for him to attend school. He went to the same school his father had attended and loved every second of it. He joined the Quidditch team in his third year as a beater. He excelled in Potions and Herbology and grew a great vegetable garden with his mother. She also taught his to cook and clean and every other household task that was usually seen as women's work.
When he was fifteen, his life was uprooted and his family moved to England. His mother explained to him one night when he was sad to be so far from home that his father's job was too dangerous and they needed to leave to protect their family. They opened up the pub/inn shortly after moving to London and he was taught how to run the shop. When september came around, he refused to go to Hogwarts. He didn't want to go to a new school. He helped around the pub, learning every aspect he could and kept his sister out of trouble. She had just started showing signs of being a witch. Their parents were so proud.
They had been living in London for several months when the Russian mafia came looking for them. He watched his parents be killed and kept himself and his sister hidden until they left. He buried them with the help of the employees in the pub and took over as the owner. He raised his sister as best as he could but she gave him hell. There were many accidents as her magic grew and he had to teach her to control them. He took her to buy her wand from a shop in Knockturn Alley when she was old enough and taught her to use it. He was no expert but he gave her as much knowledge as he could. He was very protective of his baby sister. She was the only family he had left and he wouldn't let anything happen to her. She was a bit of a spitfire though and lived life a little more freely than he would have liked.
He had a few serious relationships but nothing that last more than a year. Most women couldn't handle his arrogance or how he never put them first. His business and his sister were always his top priority and their was no room for another woman to take over.
