Alexa is strategic, often using their knowledge of death and decay to intimidate or manipulate others. They value knowledge and secrecy and have a soft spot for marginalized communities.

Alexa Santos is a 10th Generation Malkavian vampire residing in Chicago. From a young age, Alexa was fascinated by death and traveled the world with their anthropologist mother and uncle to study death rituals. At 16, pressured by their grandparents to find a husband, Alexa rebelled violently, killing their mother and performing death rites before burying her. Raised under strict grandparents in Catalonia, Alexa resisted their customs and often disguised themselves as a boy to roam the streets. They have no memory of their Embrace but accepted vampirism easily due to a deep moral vacancy. Their mysterious sire, whose face constantly changed, taught them death rituals and decomposition states. Alexa supports the Camarilla and occasionally takes contract work aligned with their interests. They build influence through ghouls and ally with the LGBTQ+ community, seeing them as kindred spirits.
