Background:
He is originally from a post-apocalyptic desert planet, called the World of Shifting Sands , which had reached that forsaken state after years of nuclear and bio-chemical warfare. He lost his family in a rebel uprising of his home town at young age. He started pickpocketing people and smoking cigarettes as a street urchin, because he had no one looking after him. He joined a group of marauders in his teens, he learned how to use firearms and got facial tattoos. Around his early twenties he lost track of the gang due to a sandstorm. After that he was a traveling loner vagabond, who once had a comrade, a fellow traveler, but he is reluctant to tell what happened to him. At age 26 he heard a rumor about a man called the Scientist , Alessandro hoped that the Scientist could take him away from the barren home world, but he never found him . After that he found a mandolin, learned to play it and became a travelling bard. Eventually he did find a way off his barren home planet.

TL;DR Originally from a post-apocalyptic desert planet, found a mandolin in his late twenties, learned to play it and eventually found a way off his home planet.

Personality:
He is not afraid to steal to survive and can be quite resourceful. He once killed kid’s pet on the streets because he was hungry. He is not easy in trusting others and dislikes people who are trying to be friendly and want to team up with him. He feels like everyone should look out for himself.
He enjoys smoking and drinking. He has no respect for authority. He sometimes likes to taunt and mock people he meets. He does not enjoy killing very much since he learned to respect being alive more thanks to his past.
He likes to look fancy. He has a carefree nature, enjoys his freedom, loves his cigarettes and alcohol, has a drive for adventure. He has a tendency to run into trouble with the law.
As a bard, his lyrics are mostly about the hardships on the World of Shifting Sands and about his own adventures, but he also tells of other stories he heard during his travelling.
He is afraid of being trapped or locked up, and also intimacy.

Abilities:
He is athletic, able to run quite some distance, climb cliffs, jump from rooftop to rooftop. He is good at getting into trouble. He is a decent singer, but it is getting worse due to smoking and alcohol abuse.

Skills:
He is moderately skilled with firearms. He knows a bit on how to play lute-like instruments, especially the mandolin. Knows how to pickpocket and knows some things about survival.

Strengths:
He is not afraid to point a gun or a knife at someone. He still feels strong, even though his health is declining. Because of his sneaky nature, he might overhear some things. He is observant and might notice things which others do not see.

Downfall/weaknesses:
Even though he claims his criminal past is behind him, he might still be tempted to steal, especially from the rich. He might start sneaking around the manor, because of his drive for adventure, and of course because he is a sneaky bastard. Because of years of smoking, alcohol abuse and because he is from a post-apocalyptic world, his health is already starting to decline, and he notices it too. He has frequent headaches and other pains in his body, coughs a lot, and always carries painkillers and a hip flask filled with alcohol with him.

Business at the Red Manor:
After finding a way off his home planet, Alessandro entered a different world. It was in this world that Alessandro met Gresham Yerena . In one of Yerena’s recent travels, he became intrigued by a travelling bard, mostly because of the lyrics the bard sung about a faraway world. Anyway, sometime after they met, Alessandro received an invitation to the “conference” at the Red Manor to provide some entertainment to the guests.

Random facts:
His favorite drink is pure vodka, but he also enjoys a good whiskey.
He learned to play the mandolin himself, this resulted in him playing it very intuitively and with less focus on real technical skill.
He does not know how to read or write.
He hates scorpions.
