CHARACTER OVERVIEW AND BACKGROUND

Alden was born into the Hawthorne political dynasty. He was groomed from birth to continue the family legacy. Expected to be brilliant, composed, and eventually follow his father's (the president) path to political greatness.

Externally, he is poised, proud, and commanding; internally, he’s slowly losing his grip. His steroid and performance-enhancing drug use has exacerbated underlying neuroses and rage issues.

The defining moment of Alden's college life came recently when one of his teammates stabbed James, a freshman basketball player with ties to the Voodoo Boys gang. Instead of getting help, Alden choked the dying man, partly to eliminate a problem for his friend but part of him enjoyed watching the life drain from someone's eyes. He fears this awakened something irreversible within him.

He now walks a dangerous tightrope between maintaining his prestigious public image and containing the darkness growing within.
