Born amidst the violence of his mother's murder, John Alexander spent his early infant life under the care of a troubled father and his aunt, Amelia Philippa. He was initially raised within the keep adjacent to Carolustadt as an infant boy, Amelia Philippa being the primary caretaker of the youth due to the grief that overtook his father for a short period of time.
Nonetheless, his father would soon illegitimately re-marry a woman named Ailsa Gromach. John Alexander was promptly moved to the small settlement of Nordengrad, following his father's abdication as Privy Seal and joining of the Clergy. The family settled in Nordengrad for the rest of Alexander Frederick's tenure as a priest, with Ailsa Gromach birthing one half-sister to John Alexander. Their lives in Nordengrad was depicted as uneventful and quiet, nothing of prominence occurring within it. In time, his father, Alexander Frederick, eventually made one last move for his family, the destination to be the land of Pronce, Aeldin.
