John Alexander (High Imperial: Johannes Alexander), nicknamed the Cunning, of the House of Horen. John was the only son of Alexander Frederick and the murdered Analiese Barbanov. He inherited the hereditary Johannian title of the Prince of Alstion as heir to the line, along with the Duchies of Alba and Furnestock. Spending his formative years in the care of a monastery, he returned to prominence only at the very end of Emperor Antonius's reign when his return coincided with the Emperor's removal from power and the start of the War of the Two Emperors.

Early Life
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 d'amaury. 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.

As well as swearing his allegiance to Godfrey III, he soon offered his daughter's hand in marriage to the young Emperor. Thus, The house of Pertinax and John joined together in matrimony under his supervision, as Adeline of Alstion and Godfrey III would wed in the palace of the Rubrummagnus, Helena.
