bio : he was never meant to shoulder the responsibility of being an adult ------ not to the extent his father wants him to, anyway. growing up in the byrne household as a second child was a relief if nothing else, when he looks back on his life now. his brother was the one always pressured to be presentable ; the one supposed to graduate from both school and college early, the one supposed to inherit the company, the one supposed to be alive----
but he isn’t. ( a tragic day for the byrne family ; dubbed a ‘ driving accident ’, but the truth lies buried six feet under. ) and neither is his mother, always playing the peacemaker when a fight between him and his father ensued. there’s no one stopping the madness that his father’s demands are now. ( whether caused by grief or greed, he may never know. ) alexander was never taken seriously enough to bear such responsibilities : he was always in the shadow of timothy, and he was content that way. ( bastard children don’t deserve recognition. ) then suddenly, just mere weeks after his death, he is expected to take his place.
he’s not made for the business trade, however. alexander is an artist first and foremost : the blood of a leader, of leonard byrne, does not truly run trough his veins. so, when faced with the choice of fight or flight, he decides to flee, and finds himself on a plane to london, to visit a cousin. with only his father’s wrath left to look forward to at the end of this trip, he doesn’t think he’ll ever go back.
