Kavanagh Family

Job:
Worked in a restaurant as a waiter (among other things) and go-to errand man, making special deliveries and overseeing smuggling transactions, currently working as bartender for the Irish Don until further proving himself trustworthy.

Family:
Alexander is the bastard-nephew of the late Don Vladimir Petrenko.

Biography:
Alexander was raised in the household of his uncle. He was a bastard child conceived from a taboo relationship with a low-end cousin of the D’Arcangelo family. At the time the Petrenko families were at odds with the Italians. The coupling of his own sister with a D’Arcangelo, and lowly discarded one at that, put Vladimir into a rage that stemmed into the execution of the D’Arcangelo as well as that of his Alexander’s mother. He waited, however, until Alexander himself was old enough to no longer need his mother before ordering her death. The boy, despite his tainted heritage, was allowed to live through pure necessity. Vladimir needed him, he needed every able bodied male he could get at the time.

Alexander was then raised in his uncle’s household, being turned into a highly educated young man. He was taught to play classical compassions on the piano, economics, history, mathematics, and anything else that might further his development. At the ten he was running errands for his uncle and at the age of fourteen began working in his main restaurant. By seventeen he had become the main go-to member of his uncles staff when special errands needed to be handled as well as making sure things were in order at several warehouses and an overseer of important business transactions.

On the night his family was taken out of the picture by the D’Arcangelo family Alexander was across town meeting with one of the many crooked cops in the city. The mere circumstance of his uncle sending him out on the late night, last minute errand saved his life and incited within him a need for vengeance. It was perhaps in this moment that the rigorous education his uncle put him through as a child paid off the most. After nearly acting upon a foolish, brash instinct to attempt killing the Italian Don on his own Alexander realized his best option was with the family his own had recently came into peaceful terms with: The Irish.

It would be a hard thing to accomplish, but Alexander was determined to prove his loyalty to Don Kavanagh and make the Don see him as a trustworthy ally. From there he would be able to exact his vengeance on the murderous D’Arcangelo.
