MASTER, Alex Sorel

ALEX SOREL

MAGUS OF

Personality

Alex is a bit of an arrogant snob, but that really just comes with the territory of being old blood in the Magus world. He can be sarcastic, sardonic, and just a bit demeaning sometimes. He tends to mean well. Sometimes. However, most of the time he just enjoys using his family's history and lineage to assert his magical superiority. He's kind of a jerk like that. Losing the Mystic Code has not helped this in any way.

That being said, Alexander is actually quite brilliant. He is able to easily analyze situations and come up with strategies and plans as necessary. He in particular has chosen to carry on the legacy of the Sorels and their focus on the usually harmless Gandr. While perhaps not up to the level of the Edelfelt family, the Sorels' mastery is something of a point of pride. This sense of pride can betray him at times, as it leads into antagonism and sometimes something of a vengeful nature.

History

Born to a set of mages and an illustrious Magus family that dated all the way back to the Renaissance, Alex was naturally born with an enormous amount of magical potential, something that was not only a matter of pride, but was also expected. The Sorel family was one of the older families still at the Clock Tower, and as such commanded respect. It was only natural that their next in line would be just as good as expected. There was only one teensy little problem with the situation.

Namely, there was no Mystic Code. It had been lost, destroyed, or stolen shortly after Alexander was born. So while they had the prestige, they didn't have the sign of their long years, which, as far as Alex knows, was actually an extremely potent weapon. Eventually, both his parents passed, leaving Alex in charge of the estate, and leaving him with the Magic Crest that carried generations worth of knowledge; in this case, mastery of the Gandr shot. But Alex wanted a new Mystic Code.

So when he found himself selected for the chance to fight in the Illustrious Holy Grail War, his wish was already apparent. He would use the Grail itself to act as his Mystic Code. Whether to have the treasure itself, or to shape it into something, he wasn't sure. But he knew that the Grail itself, or something on par with the Grail, was the only thing worthy enough to be called the Sorel Mystics Code.
