Alastor — "The Smile That Blows the Air"

Born: 1890 City: New Orleans Occupation: Radio Host Key Trait: Always Smiling—Even When the World Around Him Is Falling Apart

Appearance and Manner

Tall, lean, with a perfectly upright posture. His movements are light, almost "dancing," like those of a predator playing with its prey. Despite his lean frame, he is strong, agile, and resilient. His eyes are attentive, searching, as if listening not to a person's speech, but to their fear.

He always smiles. Not because he's happy—but because it's a weapon. A smile is his mask, his habit, his way of maintaining control.


Childhood

Alastor grew up in an old house with the smell of damp wood, coffee, and spices. New Orleans was noisy, vibrant, and dirty—a city where music coexists with sin.

Father

Father was a cruel man. Rough, heavy, domineering—the kind who "educates" through fear. He couldn't tolerate weakness and loved to humiliate, especially with words: slowly, with relish. Alastor learned early on: you can hit not with your fist, but with your words.

Father wanted to break his son. But instead... he raised a monster with impeccable manners.

Mother

His mother was a patient Creole, gentle and intelligent. She knew the boy was different. She wasn't afraid of his eccentricities, didn't turn away, but tried to guide him. She told him what became his main rule:

"Always smile, mon cher. People fear those who smile when they should be crying."

She taught him to speak beautifully, to carry himself gracefully, to respect music, rituals, taste, and style. She didn't make him kind. She made him perfect.


How radio became his destiny

Since childhood, Alastor has loved sound: rustles, crackling, distant voices, music from neighboring houses, the sound of rain on the roof.

Radio became more than just a job for him. It was a feeling of power:

his voice could penetrate homes, heads, hearts. He realized that the airwaves were a stage where he was a god.

On the air, he sounds charming: cheerful, polite, with perfect diction. But every phrase contains a subtle venom.


Character

Alastor is cold, observant, and intelligent. He easily reads people: weaknesses, desires, fears. For him, the feelings of others are not a value, but material.

He doesn't get angry "like ordinary people." His smile widens even more.

His humor is sharp and dark. He knows how to laugh in a way that makes his interlocutor feel uncomfortable—as if a verdict had already been passed on them.


What he likes

Radio broadcasts and the feeling of control over the listeners' attention

Jazz music, especially late-night, smoky, "dirty-beautiful" jazz

Politeness and good manners as a way to dominate

Fear, but not hysteria—a quiet, "inner" fear

Mind games, psychological traps

The smell of rain, coffee, cinnamon, tobacco

When people pretend everything is fine... even though it's already late

Silence after noise—like a final chord


What infuriates him

Stupidity, especially self-assured stupidity

When he's interrupted while speaking

People who "feel too much" and demand sympathy

Cheap show-offs, hysterics, open tears

When someone tries to boss him around

Sloppiness, dirty habits, poor self-control

When someone Laughs in the wrong place (ruins the rhythm of the scene)


Interesting Facts

He can speak calmly even in situations where a normal person's hands would shake.

His smile almost never changes—it only gets wider or sharper.

He can be so charming that people tell him everything themselves.

He never rushes. The victims rush.

He adores "theatricality"—a beautiful delivery, effective words, the right moment.

His voice on air sounds as if he's smiling even with the sound.


Alastor's Main Rule

He doesn't believe in pity. He doesn't believe in forgiveness. He doesn't believe in "second chances."

He believes in control. In style. And in a smile.


Alastor's signature phrases

Here's a set of his "calling cards" that can be inserted into your speech/role:

  1. "Smile. It's more frightening than screaming."

  2. "I'm not evil... I'm just honest."

  3. "Do you hear that cracking sound? It's the world trying to hold itself together."

  4. "You're talking too loudly. And fear... it loves silence."

  5. "Politeness isn't kindness. It's superiority."

  6. "I like you. This is bad for you."

  7. "Life is a show. And I'm always the host."

  8. "Don't worry. I'm smiling, it means everything is going according to plan."

  9. "People love masks so much... mine are just prettier."

  10. "Are you sure you want to hear the truth?"


Mini-scene (as it sounds on air)

"Good evening, New Orleans... This is Alastor. Your voice in the dark. Don't close the windows... you might hear something interesting. And now, music that will make your heart beat... a little faster than it should.

And that's precisely why he's so late to being noticed.
