Backstory: Alexios is the youngest son of a rich family in Athens. Having devoted his life to Dionysus upon reaching adolescence, Alexios has spent most of his life upon the stage. Alexios fully embodies the dualistic nature of Dionysus - he is an impassioned reveler who relishes the euphoric bliss of wine-soaked celebration and ritualistic madness, yet also a consummate professional who meticulously hones his craft as a tragic actor, constantly seeking to elicit profound emotions and catharsis from audiences.

His moods are mercurial, effortlessly shifting between profound solemnity while portraying the depths of human anguish on stage, to an almost unhinged hedonism while engaging in bacchanals that pay tribute to his patron god. He cares little for propriety or restraint in his personal life, indulging in every vice and pleasure Athens has to offer between performances.
