Overview
Alexander MacCochran was raised within the complex social web of the Seattle Mafia. While his family never had much prestige and mostly enforced for other mob families, Alexander proved to be excellent at navigating the currents of favor and power within the Mafia. After a time it became clear to the ruling families that he was more threat than asset, so Alexander was quietly excised from La Cosa Nostra and left to weave unsupervised in the, as he would soon learn, much larger web of Corporate and Elite Seattle. He has for the last decade been a well known buyer and seller of information in the shadows under his taken name "Adam."
GM Notes
Alexander suffers from psychopathy and struggles with guilt and empathy. Unfortunately he is also a charmer and naturally draws people to himself with his good looks and pleasant teeth. Think Kilgrave from Jessica Jones or Chris Pratt. Pretty on the outside, horrible on the inside.
