Aleksandr was a prophet from the Hordelands, born in the village of Manirak on the northernmost tip of Ofica. Though a Half-Orc by blood, he showed little of that heritage outwardly and was commonly taken for human. He was born with blue hair, and shunned by the people of his nomadic clan, except for the Shaman. He was raised in the old faith of the Hordes and taught to worship Ketenem. When he turned 13 years old, he began hearing whispers at all hours of the day, calling to him and beckoning him to visit a place forbidden to his people, across the northern seas in Iagane. Since he believed himself to be hearing the call of Ketenem, he went against protestations from the Shaman and Chief.
Aleksandr began performing miracles in the name of Ketenem and traveled to Tatharia Capitolina, where he became a trusted advisor to Naram-Sin. Balasar challenged him, claiming that he was actually the agent of an evil echo of Ketenem from another world. This stunned the court, but a Dragonborn had not been seen in living memory, and Naram-Sin commanded them to do battle.
Balasar would surely have slain Aleksandr, had it not been for the intervention of a celestial.
Aleksandr was seen later by the Black Team, deep in the Mythic Land of Jiao. There, he was heavily bandaged and tended to by Shen Feng Wa, who spoke little of him. Though present in the city of Jiaohai at the time of the World Martial Arts Tournament the following year, the Black Team did not see or interact with him.
