### Background
+
Alexios was a privileged scholar of the oldest university on the world, the Pandidakterion of Constantinople. The son of one of the Greek Chairs, he was a manipulator of academic politics, an addict of books who had manage to charm the librarians into allowing him into the library and an exceptionally bright and effective scholar.
As a boy and a student, Alexios was fascinated by the creation of books, spending much of his time in the scriptorium talking with those who made such wonderful objects. Even after his glittering academic career as a Rhetor had taken off and he took one of the Greek Chairs, he continued to craft books and paint illuminations and icons, finding the process soothing (although the icons had to be kept hidden given the controversy over them).
Georgios argued against his desires, he pointed out that many wizards were stupid and intellectually lazy, relying on their powers rather than truly understanding the world around them. Alexios understood that and did not want to join such a community. However, he did want to leave Bologna and become a greater part of the Order so when he heard from a travelling Mercere of the desire of Edward of Jerbiton to recruit new wizards for a covenant in Cambridge, he decided to make the long journey there and left with the reluctant blessings of Georgios.
