*Hector was made using the Castille book; including the Destiny Spread.

Alejandro had been dedicated to the Vaticine Church almost his entire life. He was an altar boy during his younger years and a ley reader as he got older. His parents pushed for him to enter school and to forgo the life of a priest he acceded to their wishes, in as much as school was concerned, but his elders within the church saw potential for him as a charismatic member of the Inquisition; a sort of figurehead. Alejandro was ecstatic, though still somewhat what he loved, spread the word of Theus and save people from themselves. He spent three years as an Inquisitor, during that time he met and married a woman and had two children.

Then, everything went wrong; his world crumbled around him. He came upon his Monsignor while he was consorting with a Jenny. In a righteous fury over a man of the cloth being so base, Alejando killed them both. When he was in control of himself again, he fled, knowing that his life and that of his family would be forfeit. He left a hastily scrawled note, saying he could take the voices no longer and left with a pocketful of guilders, his sword and a change of clothes.

After Montaigne invaded Castille, Alejandro began calling himself Hector Malfende. He served the army for a time at La Muralla al Utimo where he lost the last two fingers on his left hand to a musketball. He was given a discharge for his injury and he left, making his way in the world as an actor, bodyguard, sell-sword and sailor.
