wants the power he felt in the vision but has no desire to see the world burn he has very cautiously begun to test the limits of his powersand has taken a liking to fueling his spells with dark magic. At the same time Alexis affinity with fire is becoming an obsession Alexi likesto burn things now in a way that he never did before, he will stare into the campfire for hours at a time sometimes talking to the fire when

he thinks no one can hear him, when not entranced by a fire Alexi cannot sit still, he fidgets and talks incessantly while his eyes roamfreely, his skin is pale yet hot and feverish to the touch, the mark of Aqshy once so clear on Alexis chest has begun to blur andsometimes looks almost like a serpent. Alexi has fast unnerved some of the group, particularly those with a strong Sigmarite faith butdespite his own religious misgivings Captain Krondor believes that the wizard may prove to be useful in the long run and puts hischaracter oddities down to A wizard just being a wizard.
