Alexander Kirigan

Intro Alexander is a Shadow Summoner, the Second in Command in all of Ravka, and the leader of the Second Army. He was born many centuries ago to Baghra and an unknown Heartrender. He was raised by Baghra and never knew his father. Due to his and his mother's unique powers during a time of heavy persecution against Grisha, he had a nomadic childhood and lived in secrecy, rarely staying in one location under one identity for more than a month at a time for safety. His mother warned against showing off his powers or allowing anyone to touch him for fear they would discover he was an amplifier. He was a sweet but lonely boy, and despite his powers, he was afraid of the dark, loved sunlight and initially struggled with mastering his powers.
