The first thing you notice about Aksel is how tall and slim he is, this in itself is a blessing as he was one of the principal male leads in the new York City Ballet. elegant and charming, Aksel is known around Salem as the one who got away from a prominent socialite. Now living in Salem, this wealthy, attractive 33 year old has the world at his feet. He is a muse for Louis Vuitton and has guest-starred in the Nutcracker at the royal ballet in London and worked a summer the Paris opera ballet. Away from the ballet, Aksel is an astute businessman who buys properties, redesigns them and then sells them for a profit. Aksel is also known more recently for his horror movie debut. Although he loves acting, he will always put dancing first.

Born in St Petersburg, Aksel’s upbringing was a hard one. His family were poor and the only way they could make any money was when his father would work for the Russian mafia, clearing away dead bodies. His mother was a school teacher and Aksel and his twin sister Alyria had to fend for themselves while their parents worked long hours for very little pay. Alyria was sent to a ballet class at the age of 4 and after a while she got bored. One afternoon Aksel sneaked into the class and within minutes he was picking up the routine like a natural. Although it was not the done thing for a boy to do ballet, his parents allowed him to pursue his love for ballet and at the age of 11 he was sent to Moscow to train at the prestigious The Vaganova Academy, his sister joined a year later to study costume and makeup. Life was good until he came back to St Petersburg and saw the state of the house that his parents lived in. That was the moment he vowed to get them a better place to live. Although Aksel was a Ballet dancer, his father wanted him to also be safe and he was trained in the army cadets when he wasn’t at school. He was taught how to survive in the wilderness, drive cars and fight.

At sixteen he was spotted by a talent agent who sent him to Paris for the summer to work at the Opera Ballet. There he threw himself into work and any money he made, he sent back to Russia to his family. Within a year they had moved to an apartment in Moscow as Aksel was sent to study a degree in Ballet at the Bolshoi Ballet Academy. He worked hard and landed his first lead in a production in London, his family came with him and spent the winter in England, enjoying their freedom. Alyria wanted to stay in London and managed to get a job at the royal opera house as a head make up artist. Her parents also decided to stay in London, but Aksel had other plans. A socialite in France had fallen for him and they ended up dating for a few years before splitting without anyone knowing why and which he refused to discuss. From there Aksel moved to New York and within weeks he was the lead role in a performance. The ballet company paid him well and he managed to secure an apartment in Seattle. Now content in his life, Aksel has everything he could want. But there are still secrets lurking in his closet. Why did he and the socialite split up? why does he have a spare room in his apartment?  why does a quarter of his wages get taken from him each month? And why ishis mother so brutal with him when he is best in his field.
